The Low Down

Just wanted to a take a minute and talk about this blog.

The recent trend of people making a living off of their blogs had a lot of appeal to me. I do more interesting stuff than anyone I know - why not write about it? I also enjoy writing and sharing my stories with other people. I have a lot of theories, do a lot of crazy experiments, and take a lot of... calculated risks.

My primary source of income was a business I started six years ago that was very successful, but came to a screeching halt. In a way I was glad, though... I was sick of doing it. I'm working on a lot of projects, frantically trying to see what will catch on next. I'm hoping it's this blog.

The Opportunity Cost of Working Hard

When you're working, you're not out seeing a new city. You're stuck in a room, probably at a computer, churning away.

When you're working, you're not out meeting new people. You're stuck with your coworkers, or possibly no one at all.

When you're working, you're not out in the sun enjoying the weather and the nature around you. You're stuck inside under lights, probably flourescent ones.

When you're working, you're not doing physical activity, strengthening yourself and making yourself more healthy. You're sitting still, typing.
