- 18. People keep telling me that I should buy Bitcoins or even understand what the hell that is. Seems completely criminal if you ask me. I’m all for trying new technology and being “on the forefront” of things but it really doesn’t appear any different from how the U.S. monetary system creates “new money” electronically, just instead of reputable citizens doing it, it is some backwards weirdos. If I can convince myself that Bitcoins are something more than just nerds doing nerd things then maybe I’ll give that whole concept some more thought. Until then, I’ll stick to accumulating wealth using means that won’t get me in trouble with FBI agents. Better a Rolex on the wrist, then cuffs around the fist. COFFEE BREAK CONTEMPLATION #1

- 33. COFFEE BREAK CONTEMPLATION #2 What is Shen Yun exactly? I get asked if I want a pamphlet every time I’m in a mall or something of that nature. With all these bright lights, huge signs, and supremely confident solicitors competing for my attention, I sometimes feel wrong when I actively avoid interacting with people who want to sell me something. It’s okay though, once my friend from New York told me that if you don’t learn to sidestep those kinds of situations, then you’ll never get to where you are going on time. Or even worse, you might have to listen to some dude rap to you.

- 65. COFFEE BREAK CONTEMPLATION #3 I remember when a Black Card was like the epitome of luxury and success. Now there’s a few mail offers for some type of Black Card each month. Not that I need another credit card, but it sure is difficult to not continuously be sucked into using more and more. It’s good that they got rid of some of those really bad terms they used to have, everything from ‘universal default’ to all that other crazy shit. Funny how today we think “OMG that’s so ridiculously unfair I can’t believe it actually used to happen” yet pre-financial crisis days such things were considered completely normal….and the cycle of business and life keeps turning. I’ve been asked ‘what’s the point’ of business and life many times. And my response is “Yeah”
