The privilege to attempt more vlog
Having this website and blog since 2009-2010-2011 until now (2023)— around 11, 12, 13 years… what have I learned?
1. Text lasts
Looking back at my old blog posts, even some from 2017, about five years ago, the text has remained, and to me, is still very relevant. However what ultimately breaks and gets messed up is the images. Why? As an attempt to curb the total number of files in my server, which has a hard cap of 1 million images, I have to delete all the images. As a consequence, I inadvertently delete old images images.
2. Photos which last?
I feel that every once in a while, it is a good idea to re-curate your images. That is, to review all of your old images in your portfolio, and curate, and re-curate them, and to publish and re-publish them.
The goal—
Striving to make photos which will last at least 300 years.
3. Devices which last
iPad Pro actually seems to have very good longevity. iPhone… not as much.
4. Music, musical albums which last?
YEEZUS — by Kanye West. I am still amazed by how good this longevity has been. Even when I talk to fellow Kanye West fans, this is the album that everyone quotes.
My theory —
When Jesus came out, it was so insanely confusing to so many people, it was so I had a good time. So maybe, if you want to creeping with work, you have to try to be stored in 10 minutes ahead of your time, and then maybe a decade or two later, everyone will catch up.
5. Videos last
Funny enough, even though in theory, videos, and video files seem like they are much more cumbersome, fat and bloated than photos and images, it seems that videos, at least on my blog, and website and in general have lasted far better. Even it is quite impressive for us to think about YouTube; the YouTube videos of the past have still remained! Even the really old 480p videos of the past!
6. Passion lasts?
My theory:
If you create things out of a spirit of passion, and you create them, simply because you care, then it is far more likely to last!
-
When I think of artwork, or, musical albums, songs, creations, books, etc… the question —
What lasts? What doesn’t?
-
It seems that the best strategy is assume that you will forget, and as a consequence, just don’t manipulate, change, or touch or do things, which may cause you to forget.
-
For example, after wearing the lululemon vital Drive half legging compression tights for so long, and then switching back to my old Uniqlo Heattech leggings, the Heattech leggings feel 1000 times a step backwards.
-
For example, I really love the new safari compact tab design on top. Much more sublime design.
-
What is the true privilege here? The true privilege is having the privilege to attempt more, not necessarily being entitled to more, but, having the privilege to simply attempt it.

Therapy, therapist just means “to talk”.

I don’t “need” anything, nor do I want anything?
-
Cold which strengthens, cold which weakens?

Nobody is a match for me
I hate people with a bad attitude
I love black and white video!

Or even a Tesla?

I believe that the wrong idea that a lot of people have towards entrepreneurship is that the point is just to become really rich, become a billionaire, etc.
However on the contrary, I believe the point is to instead, just have freedom to try something new, build something new, sell something you, sell a new type of service, etc.
Let us note the big downside of communist society is that free enterprise is not allowed. Any pseudo-Marxist, Leninist, Communist who owns an iPhone, goes to Whole Foods, has a Netflix subscription, has Amazon prime, drives a Tesla, or even a Prius, is a fraud.
-
Therefore, perhaps the notion of free enterprise is a good one. Giving people and citizens opportunity to try something new.
The only detriment we can suffer is regulation. In America, it seems that a lot of entrepreneur have massive headaches because of just being able to get the right regulations to do something or build something. Then, to encourage entrepreneurship is to remove this bureaucracy, remove these behaviors, remove these regulations.
Certainly safety is critical, but it seems that nowadays, all of the safety contract companies; it is just like a Ponzi scam. Free money for them.

What I have discovered through weightlifting, powerlifting is this: hitting a new PR, personal record is pretty uneventful. For me, the greater joy is even having the privilege and opportunity to attempt a new personal record.
Then, our joy is not hitting a certain number, but always, attempting more.

Orange county is better for fitness culture, working out, lots more powerlifting gyms, and also, easy access to the Costco business center, for meat.
Also more sunshine.
