Jeremy Callner, an acquaintance of mine does this every year and I keep meaning to try my hand at it. Now I've finally sat down and done it.
- I've fully accepted that my preferred lifestyle is not compatible with children.
- I would be perfectly content hiking every day, rain or shine.
- My constant hiking has actually made me an above average trail runner in hilly terrain. I'm still slow on flat ground.
- I will never be fluent in Hungarian.
- I'll probably look back at my time in Budapest as some of the best years of my life.
- Life in Norway is easier and much less stressful than Budapest and even though I'm “happier” in Norway, having a tough life really makes the good parts pop.
- My productivity and free time are inversely proportional.
- As time goes on, I become more and more a stereotypical married guy.
- Films and series are barely able to hold my attention anymore, yet books still can. I'm worried about the day that books stop working too.
- I am completely addicted to social media, yet I have no desire to actually quit.
- The Mexican Revolution was a fascinating s$%tshow.
- People are willing to pay me to write, as long as it's 1)funny and performed in front of a group of people -or- 2) They choose the topic.
- The more I have to write things other want me to, the more I want to do something different.
- Our dog has aggression and possessiveness issues and we can't blame it on his injury anymore. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
- There is actually a practical age limit to the restaurant industry (at least as a cook or waiter in a busy restaurant) and I don't think I'm far away from it. Despite how much I love it, I need to lay down a plan to leave.
- TGI Friday's really is the best company I've ever worked for.
- Just because you open yourself to new friends that may end up living far away does not mean you lose “friend essence”. I need to stop being so guarded just because I'm nomadic, but I don't know how to do that because it's become such a reflex.
- Stand up comedy really is pretty formulaic and it doesn't matter the language. Truly unique comics are few and far between. This does not mean that “standard” comedians are not funny.
- If you want opportunities, sometimes it's just easy to create them for yourself. Chance are, if you want something, there are a good number of people who want the same thing. It's better to be the one profiting from it.
- It's hard to actually make a profit with something and I'm not “capitalist” enough to do it. I need to work on that.
