for a while, i washed residential windows. i enjoyed the work. it was simple, required patience, and while physical, wasn’t body busting. it was almost meditative. and i made decent money.

i met alot of millionaires, and one billionaire. the millionaires were often uptight, difficult, unkind, and had extravagant external displays of wealth. the billionaire was one of the kindest, most hospitable people ive ever met. there was an energy coming off of him that made you feel like anything was possible, and you mattered. And while the millionaires often had very expensive cars in the driveway, the billionaire had non-descript white ford trucks. his house was surprisingly modest, and simple. well, that is until you paid close attention to the quality of the building materials.

this contrast between the two taught me some things about people and money.

although, i would be remiss if i didnt mention that in the very small and simple master bedroom of the billionaire, one of the walls was all cupboard style closet doors. and one of the doors opened into a passageway that led to an underground olympic sized pool lined with dark blue ceramic tiles, and a red Chihuly glass display coming out of the water. So there was that. 😆 But i still found it interesting that it was completely hidden, and even people visiting the house would never know it was there.

GM, the OCC has issued an enforcement action against Wells Fargo Bank for AML violations – no fines imposed.

When banks fail to implement efficient AML programs, they get a slap on the wrist – but when developers fail to implement efficient AML programs, they get charged as criminals. Let this be your reminder that there's one set of rules for them, and another set of rules for us.

I feel like I know who will get elected, but I don’t know who will become president.

I wonder if this is the first time americans have experienced this.

Sometimes shit happens and it makes you feel like an idiot, and a failure. And you realize just how much you wasted and how much you promised that wasn't even close to where/what you thought it was.

Sometimes you put enormous amounts of personal capital and work into something and the results end up being "fuck all" and all you can feel is embarrassed, stupid, and angry.

I guess what I'm getting at is that's its ok ,and at some point that's just how shit is going to unfold if you try to do something useful.

Doesn't mean you will end up with what you hoped for, and that's really just part of the process most of the time.

"get back on the horse..." feels trite, but it's really all there is. Give up, or keep going are the options on the table.

I'm not fucking giving up so...
