I’m addicted to CNBC. It’s the only news channel that matters. All I need to know are the events that affect the movements of the markets and how it affects money. Does that make me totally boring and old? I was going to get BitCoin back in 2011 and I didn’t. Why didn’t I? It was one of those things on my to do list, item number 57 or something. Now I’m still wondering if I should. It’s so unstable. Yet it seems inevitable. Will we still use dollars in the future?
The point of this blog is that it has no point. It’s like Seinfeld, except funny. It’s hard to write about concrete topics, but if I did it would be about, that’s the thing, I don’t know what it would be about. I’m so superfluously redundant in my contributions to whatever people have written about all over the place. I don’t have like my funny take on a current event. Or my new wise insight into dietary health and nutrition. Or maybe I do but I don’t feel like sharing those things. Because everyone else does that, so it’s of limited entertainment to myself.
At the very least I could make this in some way entertaining for someone other than myself. Or maybe that’s it. Entertain myself; In a place that is technically public, but totally not utilized as such. It’s like hey look, “I’m naked in my window!” but there’s nobody on the street. Or there are but no one looks up. That’s my blog. Naked in my window and no one notices. What if I was like, hey Rihanna is naked in my window and no one heard me. And no one saw.
I may as well write my to do list since no one is paying attention: write blog post (almost done), organize comedy notes to redo my set, determine which stock picks to buy and write covered calls on, plan the release of the unreleased completed song, sort all my pics for instagram posts, figure out what YouTube videos to put up next, finish uploading products to Amazon and open my three dot com stores again, determine the best sources for finding auditions for television shows, and figure out a way to write more useful and in some way entertaining blog posts. At least I have gotten away from the need for cryptic and oblong language in these posts.
It was Seth Godin who said that a daily public blog post is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a person, or something like that. I am not saying I am going to commit to daily but I want to get more regular, like a healthy bowel, the metaphor being that these posts are crap.
Do you want information, infotainment, entermation or some mix of all of them? Technically or casually I could blog about current events, histories of things, art stuff, music stuff, investing ideas and techniques, nutrition and health, political hot topics (blech), parodies and satires, my own pursuits and exploits (which are currently nil, but will ramp back up after the winter hibernation nap), or something else. I guess.
If you read this and you want me to know that it is of any value to you or that it potentially could be of value to you in the future then share it on Facebook. Not Twitter, not some other social situation, Facebook. Because Facebook is the mean big ugly personal naked in the window and all your friends are laughing at your poker most exposed social situation in town and all around. Do it.
Also, I’m practicing the piano a lot.
