My 40 Under 40

Random Observation/Comment #822: Writing lists tends to slow down time. In the game of life, the one who perceives the longest life wins. //Faceswapped myself onto the Mona Lisa using Insight Faceswapper – Full Faceswap Guide In my 20s, I lucked out in having a solid career, adventurous friends, and a healthy curiosity for cryptocurrencies.

Designing Your Life

Random Observation/Comment #573: It’s never too late to redesign your life. Ever since I’ve started drawing every night (currently at a 200+ day streak), I’ve started doodling more random infographics about life. This one came to me when I was thinking about a community hub model to connect people to their interests. I wanted to map what people need for a...

Enjoying the Process – Reaching Goals is Overrated

Enjoying the Process – Reaching Goals is Overrated

Random Observation/Comment #239: I am finding that more and more conversations with my peers have been focused on careers and happiness philosophies.  Why is everyone so lost at this age? Where am I? At this particular stage of my life, my philosophy is the same as many of my peers – go with the flow and be happy along the...

Setting Up New Goals

Setting Up New Goals

Random Observation/Comment #218: Rejection is a terrible thing, but it’s definitely part of life.  Any excuses I give for my role in the situation will never be enough to ease my mind.  I’m not sure if it’s the disappointment in myself for not being able to think quicker or act sooner (or later), or if it’s just self-pity and self-loathing,...

Life is All About Side Projects

Random Observation/Comment #213:  The more time I spend in New York, surrounded by the wonderful, fast-paced life style, the more I also begin to miss being in Europe.

Much More than a Rittersport Obsession

Random Observation/Comment #191: Contrary to popular belief, I am not obsessed with desserts or sweets in general. I have a sweet tooth (somewhere among the carnivorous ones and passion towards cherry tomatoes), but it had always been geared towards cheesecake, ice cream, and cookies.  This new project for Rittersport chocolate is not because of some endorsement they are paying me...

Interlaken’s Lakeside Sigh

Interlaken’s Lakeside Sigh

Random Observation/Comment #168: I was once asked by a friend, “What has happened in the past week that made you love life?” The question was difficult to answer not because I followed some cult cynicism (which I don’t), but rather because the week in question was a week where my senses were almost paralyzed by the overflow of natural beauty. ...

It’s Like a New Era

It’s Like a New Era

Random Observation/Comment #120: I didn’t really grasp the concept of waiting for a specific date to turn a new leaf and break bad habits.  We’re changing years, but what does that do except make me mess up writing the date for the month of January?  These New Year Resolutions scream procrastination and a weak mind.  If you want to do...

Keeping it Interesting

Keeping it Interesting

Random Observation/Comment #112: I don’t like routines, but sometimes they’re necessary and I’ve come to accept that.  The comfort in my particular routines root from the pleasure of knowing that I had tried most alternatives and settled on a path that balances time and energy towards these uncontrollable moments of commute.  Everything has been made to, what I refer to...
