Shooting a sequel to my friends independent zombie film this weekend. And I get the honor to be one of the undead ๐Ÿ˜…. Sitting in the chair getting makeup for an hour is a bit of an annoyance but it's going to be a long and fun day.

The fact that there isn't a support group for bitcoiners that lost their private keys in a tragic boating accident is just proof that we haven't taken the meme far enough.

Thinking I'll start playing around with my own nostr relay some point soon. What do you guys recommend for hardware? I know start9 makes for a good all in one with a Bitcoin node and such or do you just run it off a desktop or a laptop? I've already got a dedicated node for Bitcoin but I'm not opposed to running two.

I wouldn't consider myself a full-on minimalist, maybe minimal-ish. But I try to keep my material possessions to a minimum. When I do buy things, I try to make sure it's exactly what I want and that it's something I will get a lot of value from. I bought these sunglasses exactly a year ago today. Probably my favorite purchase all year. I wear them every single day and use them probably more than anything with the exception of my phone, to the point where my friends associate aviator sunglasses with me. I can think of few things that have more than made up for their costs the way these have and it's such a simple thing. I wonder if anyone reading this has a similar experience with something else. Feel free to post! image

Bodybuilding is one of my favorite hobbies for many reasons. One that often goes overlooked is that you can eat a ton of awesome food AND if you're doing it right instead of making you fat it will make you hot.

Grow or die. Sometimes we grow a little too fast though, and as a consequence we don't know our own strength when the growth spurt is over. A door you thought was locked no longer is. A weight you thought was too heavy can be picked up with ease. A woman you thought was out of your league starts to notice you. A job you thought you couldn't handle turns out to be easy. And the only reason you don't know is because at some point you stopped trying and assumed that was your limit. What will you do the day you realize how powerful you really are? I'm not sure I know the answer to that yet either, but I have a feeling I will soon.

That feeling when the first paycheck hits and you realize how many more sats you're going to stack on the regular.

There are years where life feels so slow and weeks where life move so fast. Stop and smell the roses, appreciate what you have.

At what point do we stop calling it "price" and start calling it "exchange rate"? We could wait for the medium of exchange / unit of account stages... Or we could meme it into existence like we've done before. After all, it's one of our best weapons.

Four job interviews in a week. Such a roller coaster. Amazed at how different the experiences are from one company to the other. Today's went pretty well though. Fingers crossed.
