Just hit the 995 pound atlas lift — easy!

When it ain’t dangerous enough, or difficult enough, you don’t give it your all?

Risk it all baby! No risk it, no brisket!

I don’t like getting angry. Why? Physiologically and mentally, and brain, it is pain. I don’t like it.

Therefore when you feel anger, you perceive that some sort of injury has been done. But has it?

Pain impels is what TO do and what NOT to do. Heed your body!

To meditate simply need to think. Not any of this nonsensical voodoo, sit cross legged in some sort of lotus position. I am very anti-these new wave religions and schools of thought, which bastardize traditional indo schools of thought, then repackage it into some new commoditized product?

For example, the “meditations” of Marcus Aurelius; this ain’t Marcus Aurelius chanting some weird voodoo into the void, it is just his personal thoughts.

To meditate just means to think. To reflect, to consider.

*med– to measure, to heal, to consider

1. Hot sauna at the gym
2. Lifting weights at the gym with no headphones on
3. Driving with no music on
4. Taking naps during the day when I’m tired

The reason why when I’m often searching for information I trust ChatGPT more than Google is that Google is to beladen with “content marketing“, and too much bias.

My thought and approach to ChatGPT is it is more of a creative ideation tool; it gives you some sort of mental framework, and then you could go back to Google to cross reference whether the information is accurate or not.

For example, I googled “if I buy a Triplex in Los Angeles, can I kick out the tenants”? On Google all of the strange results pop up.

Whereas when I ask ChatGPT the same question, it helped me glean more interesting information like

“The rules regarding tenant eviction in Los Angeles can be complex and are subject to change. Generally, you can evict tenants for specific reasons allowed under California law, such as non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or if you intend to occupy the unit yourself or perform significant renovations. However, tenant rights and eviction laws are designed to protect renters, and you must follow legal procedures and provide proper notice.

It’s crucial to consult with a local attorney or research the current regulations and requirements in Los Angeles and California before attempting to evict tenants from a triplex property you purchase. Laws and regulations may have changed since my last update in September 2021.l

CHAT GPT RESPONSE

Information which seems to make sense is that I could kick out the tenant if I intend to occupy the unit myself, or perform significant renovations.

The problem with Google is there is too much scrolling, too much bloat, too much nonsense.

Hot sauna as my gravity chamber?

Or the gym and weight lifting and one rep maxing — gravity resistance training?

“Life is a game of monopoly, go out and cop yourself some property.” – MIGOS

A random thing on the road to moving to LA is this — a random thing that was coming into my mind was this idea of find some sort of property space, like buying a Triplex or a quadPlex, and essentially becoming some sort of noveau slumlord.

I had a funny interesting turbo thought when going to the Costco Business Center the other day, and buying some meat. Essentially the idea is simple:

Essentially the meat you buy and purchase is the raw material, and cooking it yourself is very simple and easy; yet, the reason why so many restaurants and businesses, even all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurants is that they make the process so complex, and intimidating to you.

Why I love cars

The primary reason why I love cars so much is that ever since I was a kid, around 15 or 16 years old, it was an open creative canvas for me. Note, I actually got into cars before I got into photography; I was into cars ever since I was 15 years old and got my first drivers license permit in California, I only going to photography later, around the age of 18 when I graduated high school and was about to go to college.

Growing up, my family only ever rented. The notion that I could modify or do anything to my house or home was a non-concept.

The great joy and promise of being able to have my own car was that I could do anything to it that I wanted. The first car I ever got was a 1991 Sentra XE, a four-door sedan, which was surprisingly a five speed manual transmission car, with no tachometer! I had so much fun modifying and customizing and swapping it up, installing headers, intake and exhaust, repainting it, painting the dashboard from the ugly ass brown to black, and also even changing the headliner from the ugly brown beige color to a solid black felt.

Mystifying things?

A funny difference that I’ve noted from my family, my family upbringing, and Cindy‘s family; Cindy grew up to owning their own home and property, therefore things like pouring cement, mixing cement, painting the walls, fixing home stuff was natural. Yet for them, cars were a mysterious black box; therefore the general concept was always buy new.

However, my great pride and joy is that in my whole adult life, I’ve never spent more than $2500 USD on a car. The last two cars which came under my wing including my mom‘s old 2009 Hyundai sonata, which was essentially acquired by me for free, as it sat dormant for about three years in my sister’s garage, collecting dust. About $2000 of repairs at the mechanic, and $1000 of overdue DMV fines, it essentially ran brand new! And a little bit of muscle wax from me, waxing the paint, painting the rims, debadging it, etc.

Then more recently, re-inheriting the family Prius; 2010 Prius. Essentially once again, acquiring it for nothing, spending $2700 to get a new catalytic converter which was stolen earlier, $300 for a catalytic converter shield, and about $2700 on a new ABS brake sensor, and also, about $600 for new Yokohama tires. Otherwise I got the car for free!

How do really rich people do it?

Some fun facts I’ve learned:

1. Real rich people and successful people only ever purchase cars at auction; with some sort of superficial damage, and they buy it at an insanely deep discount, and spend small sums of money to fix it up, they never buy new. And it seems that a lot of successful people that I’ve met just buy old used Priuses at car auctions!
2. People overpay for home renovations; the true price of fixing up a bathroom should only be around $7000 (some of my friends spent almost $20,000 for this), to do a kitchen, maybe $15,000, and flooring you could essentially do it yourself for free. And it seems that what a lot of these real estate companies do is simple; take some sort of old property, gut it, renovate it, which actually doesn’t cost that much money, maybe $30,000 per unit, and then resell it on the market for a higher price tag, and continue this process.

What is a millennial?

I think I have a good definition for millennials; essentially somebody who foolishly uses their money.

For example, it seems that millennials are overeager to buy new cars. Let’s say a modest new car is $30,000, and they down around $10,000. A monthly payment is around $350-$500. Then they forget that they bought a new car, and they probably want full coverage, so insurance wise, it might be another three to $500 a month! Boom, you’ve just added another thousand dollars a month in monthly expenses, which will haunt you for either 3 to 5 years. That’s money that you’re not putting in your bank account.

Alcohol, food, eating out, weed, drugs, etc

“Fuck I’m broke as fuck! Why? I just came back from Vegas and blew all my money on food! Fuck, I gotta move out of SoCal!” – one of my friends in the gym hot sauna locker room

Another way that young people millennials etc. waste money is silly things like going to “festivals“, doing drugs, smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, going out to drink alcohol and cocktails, going to Vegas, gambling, eating out at new trendy restaurants, etc.

Also, having too much subscriptions to these media services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc.

The overall bad thing is that many people just cannot save money. Why? The societal bias that one should partake in these activities. But, the wisdom is knowing that these things are not imperatives.

The park is my coworking space

Become less concerned about others, more concerned in yourself

Maybe out of focus photos are a good idea

“ It’s not a bug, it’s a feature ! “

Optimized for its own system

Use what is native. For example, the big downside of using lens adapters for foreign systems is that it never really work that well, the lens must be optimized for the body.

The downsides of socialization

Essentially the problem is you become mediocre! Also your kids become mediocre as well.

Vlog

For the sake of more epic thinking, philosophies and undertakings!

Therefore, it seems that the optimal strategy is always opt to reduce expenses. Even if you think you could afford it.

Creating an insanely abundant future?

Delay your eating as late as possible!

New Horizons

Certainly the Tesla is cooler and sexier.

For myself, it seems that one of my greatest passions is discovering novel solutions to “problems” in my life.

To desire the demise of somebody, or the deterioration of somebody; unbecoming of us real men.

Instead, the joy of helping others.

Also, feeling high powerful and mighty, strong, ascending — aren’t these all just physiological phenomenon?

For example, if you’re 100,000 miles high in the sky, in a private jet; and you feel high and mighty, yet you don’t have connection to Internet or Wi-Fi, where does the feeling of being high and mighty come from? Certainly only only within your body; your nerves, blood flow, chemicals and hormones, electrical impulses, the water in your body etc.

Therefore, my simple suggestion; if you want to feel stronger, higher and mightier, just focus on your bodily physiology?

“What’s that?”

It is easy to seek and win a conflict. Perhaps it takes more cleverness to seek novel solutions to avoid a conflict?

After having dealt with so many issues in the past with my website, my server, things breaking, website downtime, all these headaches etc.; it seems that the hydra approach is wise.

1. Host multiple instances on your websites on different platforms, different servers. For example on a standard hosting service, FTP, as well as Amazon web services, Google cloud services, etc.
2. Perhaps this is also the wisdom of having several multiple kids, at least two; because at least you have a redundancy.

My new optimization in life. Moving forward, I will only opt for the insanely beautiful.

I think this is paid off well. For example my wife Cindy, as insanely beautiful. As a consequence, my first son and child, Seneca, also insanely beautiful. You’re going to look at your wife and your kid all day, don’t you want them to be insanely beautiful?

Also, homes in living quarters. I think we spend more time indoors at home than we think we do. Therefore doesn’t make sense to choose a living quarters or habitat which is insanely beautiful?

Also for myself, making my body, my physique, my look and appearance as beautiful as possible? When people stop, stare and seem dumbfounded?

What is ugliness? My theory is that it has something to do with health and physiology and hygiene.

For example, a house that looks ugly is signaling that it may be unhygienic. And bad for your health.

Why is it that nobody ever thinks about living quarters and habitats in regards to health?

Anti small, anti small thinking.

1. Open the blinds let the fresh air come in, open the windows
2. Cold shower
3. Tons of ERIC KIM COFFEE
4. Hit the gym, empty your bowels there, hit the hot sauna, workout one rep max, head out! Think of the gym like your morning commute & office? Co working space with hot sauna and weights!
