Jayne (my sister) is visiting and we have been bumming around all week having a good time. My thoughts have been all over the place, which is one of the best parts about a vacation in my opinion. When we are not too busy stuffing our faces with tacos or walking on the beach I have found myself either reading a book, reading and watching interesting stuff on the web, and thinking a bit about all sorts of things.....
-I am started reading (11% finished) the Albert Einstein biography. The thing I like about the guy is that he just questioned absolutely everything. He had no problems questioning authorities and even went so far as to question space and time. I would like to have more of this trait in myself and am going to work to do so.
-I sort of like the idea of going hard/grinding/depriving yourself/discipline/structure 90% of the time and binging and relaxing 10% of the time. I am talking mostly about work, diet, exercise, and stuff like that. It seems that by doing things this way 1) you build good habits 2) you enjoy the 10% so much more. I am going to try to try this out as well.
-Poker stuff....big picture stuff though....not specifics.
-I have been trying to learn all about digital/cryptographic currencies (bitcoin, ripple, etc.). This topic fascinates me and I wish I had more time to learn more about the topic.
-Great commencement speech and worth a watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqRPesTumlA.
Cliffs: Take extraordinary risks/paths and live in the moment.
That's it...thanks for a great vacation Jayne, my batteries are recharged and I am looking forward to the 90% for the next 10 weeks.
Hope all is well,
Ted
