Iām not currently religious but do still have a Bible from Jesuit high school, and believe there are points of wisdom one can glean if reading with an open mind. Matthew 6:34 says Tomorrow Is Not Promised, which basically means that life is full of uncertainties and none of us are guaranteed to wake up tomorrow. I take this to mean live life to the fullest I can every day and practice gratitude for every success I had, and strive to be better than yesterday.

Thereās two phrases I live by:
1. āPrepare for the worst, hope for the bestā itās something my father has said to me ever since I can remember anything at all. He says we must always be aware of the possibility of error and be prepared for it however we should never stop believing in the possibility of success and always stay hopeful!
2. āthis too shall passā itās just a good way of remembering that what now can seem like the end of the world will end up feeling just like a medium sized problem in a few months and eventually it will feel like nothing in a few years. All problems are valid problems however you must remember that time can heal all wounds.

Everything in your life does not have to be subscription based, and subscription does not equate a service being good. If Iām paying $24.99 a month to watch Netflix in 4K UHD, I should expect to see what I pay for, not subpar playback latency, low bitrate streams, many app crashes, and overall looking terrible on anything that isnāt a 4K display.
Remember when you could buy things and own them, like, forever?
There is a better world out there past Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime.

You donāt have to tell everyone everything in/about your life, especially online, in todayās online yet frequently data-breached world. Like the great Christopher Wallace once said: Keep your family and business completely separated

I have a near-Biblical dislike of Allbirds shoes and every other Tim Cook Jeff Bezos Middle-aged Balding Pickleball coach ass shoe out there for convincing the public that these were in any way cool. No dude, you look like a loser with these. They look bland and lifeless, like they were concocted in the same boardroom that made the flat graphic design trend that Meta and Google love so much. Hell, even notorious ip-infringer Skechers makes better looking shoes than these. They donāt even feel good to wear. They have no soul or personality and yet some people swear by them. Who are these shoes for?
