Reinventing myself.

[Noah Ryan @NoahRyanCo]

How to tell if you've found your "thing"

- You instantly absorb anything you read on the subject
- You stay up late working on it (without effort)
- You can perform better on it at 60% than others at 100%
- It doesn't drain you, but rather gives you energy
- You end up doing it without being prompted

Play to you, work to others. Don't waste your time dedicating yourself to something you're bad at. Work hard at games you're uniquely suited to win. You can and should take every unfair advantage you have access to

Does anyone have any questions?

And I will try to answer them

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

Spent 64 cents on a prediction that Detroit wins the basketball game. Prediction moved up and I cashed it out for 73 cents. Made 14% return in a couple hours (9 cents)

We see the uh earth now

@robpetrozzo Those are amazing! Can we run it back?

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

I wrote a guy who knew Chuck Norris and got this framed piece back in the mail

Still blown away 33 years later

[Rob Petrozzo @robpetrozzo]

Selfies made celebrity interactions too easy.

As a kid, I’d find celeb/athelete addresses, write insanely detailed letters, then wait 3-9 months for an autograph.

You’d RUN to the mailbox every day.

Some days it was Al Pacino,
Some days Bozo the Clown.

The last days of analog

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

Walking outside in the sun is something else

I should do this daily, although two or three times a day sounds even better

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

It's not uncertainty

It's that would be parents certainly can't afford it

[Morgan Housel @morganhousel]

I don't fully buy the idea that living in an age of uncertainty is what's driving the decline in fertility.

The Baby Boom took place when your kids had to practice duck-and-cover drills at school to prepare for what was seen as the inevitable nuclear apocalypse.

Assigned today, sell calls tomorrow morning. Repeat

[Rob Petrozzo @robpetrozzo]

When nostalgia is really well designed you get this.

That’s the best design.

This is what pro sports apparel needs more of instead of just constant re-releases.

“Informal essays are, by and large, silly and insubstantial things”

-Steven King, On Writing

As an aspiring informal essayist, this quote from Steven King lives rent free in my head

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

I want to host a show with my friends filmed from the basement and broadcast on public TV a la Wayne's world

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

Impossible to find the right pair of shorts

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

Spending a hundred or multiples of that on a new camera probably isn't the thing holding me back on photography

[drzee @drzeeth]

Some part of me wants to buy an old typewriter, no whiteout in sight, and scream at the top of my lungs:

'Fuck it! We'll do it live!'

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

@Will__Stern @robpetrozzo Unfortunately probably lumped in with Americana (if USA) or Memorabilia

Dope shit is what it is tho

[Rusty @rustyblogs]

need to be yearning for the present moment

[Rusty @rustyblogs]
