So picture this scenario: I’d be chilling on Friday night with some friends, downing a couple of beers and having an awesome time, and all of a sudden something would snap and I’d feel freakin’ exhausted. My eyes would glaze over and I’d get really quiet and my friends will all start asking if I’m […]
Success! I’ve managed to successfully stay away from caffeinated coffee for the past two weeks. Sure, it was a pain in the ass at times, but this was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in weeks. You can check out the full objectives of this LifeTest in the original log here. So why did I
I can take my clothes off pretty fast (but not in the way you think, you perv). I picked up this awesome skill back in the military. Our commanders used to regularly punish us with “change parades” – these crazy exercises where we’d have to change out of our army uniforms into a t-shirt and
This post from Barry Ritholtz (The Big Picture) was too awesome not to share. He talks about why doing nothing is often the best way to invest: Don’t do something, anything, just for the sake of it.

I spent the weekend migrating to a self-hosted website, which means I take your cheerfulegg reading experience seriously enough to actually pay to get those pesky ads removed. Woot woot. Anyways, it’s been awhile since I posted a TED talk, so I’ll
I’m a HUGE fan of Lonely Island. Came across this awesome music video titled YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, feat Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar (who?). I love it because it makes fun of people who take risk a little too seriously (“Two words about furniture: KILLING MACHINES!!”). But while we scoff at the idea that
Okay, hypothetical scenario. Imagine you’re on your honeymoon in Las Vegas, chilling in your swanky hotel room while your spouse is taking a shower. While checking out the minibar, you come across a $5 gaming chip in one of the drawers – the previous occupant must have mistakenly left it there. You take the $5
One of the best perks of my job is that I get to pretend to be a rich person. Well, not all the time of course. Like I definitely did not feel rich these past 2 weeks: Staying late in the office, eating at my desk, slaving over Excel sheets till I started dreaming of
