@Anwar Khan Interesting! I'm currently in Chicago and have aspirations to be a pilot. I was studying for the written but looked at the overall costs and decided it wouldn't be the time right now to do it.

@Joseph Houseworth Thanks so much that means a lot to me. Really.

@Anthony DiRico Yeah it really is that simple. I remember when I tried selling solar years back and even though it didn't workout like I thought it should have at least it's something to talk about.

I work at a warehouse right now. We're technically not supposed to be on our phones but a lot of people do it anyways. Sometimes being around others will help you. Now where I'm very careful is I do check around the corners sporadically so I don't see any members of safety walking around. It's a mix of blending cautiousness and seeing what other people do that helps me.

I think this is crazy and I definitely am not signing up for this. In recent years we've seen authorities play God before and it failed. DISASTROUSLY. I don't even consider myself religious but I am spirtiual. We're entering some pretty crazy times. Technology is rapidly evolving and like Don Juan said maybe we will be fighting genetically modified humanoids.

I never heard of that until today. I have a similar variant. You either will be somebody to look up to or a shining example of what not to do. With me, one of the biggest mistakes I've ever done was listen to family when they said go to college or you won't accomplish anything. Here I am not using my college degree in any capacity. I was talking about this at work a while ago, you don't even need to go IRL to meet people anymore so the networking aspects are thrown out the window. Also with men, to a degree we do get better as we age. It has a lot to do with obtaining social capital, muscles slowly accruing, learning life lessons. My favorite life lesson is don't care what people think (to a degree). Now of course, there's the declining T levels and other assorted aging issues. But that's what TRT and reading health books are for! And for a modern day take, this is the era of short attention spans. If you can focus on something for more than 5 minutes you're in a league of your own. I wish I was exagerrating but I've seen it with my own eyes.

I know this will be unpopular but I'm saying it anyways. I'm just trying to get into IT by June. I don't have a goal per se but go to the gym and do compound exercises. I work on limited time and it's a great stress reliver. But later down the line I do want to deadlift 400 and squat 300s again. One of the silver linings to working in a warehouse is it toughens you up mentally and physically. My hands are strong AF. I'm used to working in extreme temps.
