This update is going to focus on something unrelated to life for a change. Also, this post will not have any photo associated due to iCloud for Windows resorting to nagware pop-ups. I encounter pop-ups even during full-screen video games which infuriated me enough to fully uninstall the application. Now the only way I can get pictures on my PC is finding a sync method (like I used to do with iTunes) or.. Read More
It has been an especially eventful several months. My “silent stallion” now has another dent from being rear ended for the second time in two years. I just can’t seem to catch a break over here. I’m wearing a splint over my left hand after surgery for removal of a dorsal ganglion cyst. I’ll have it for about another week or so. Although without pain, it is terribly inconvenient. Let’s unpack the rear.. Read More
So this site was initially a spot for me to clear my head during the pandemic. The fact that it still exists four years later is kind of crazy, considering the need for the site has all but disappeared, however, the fact that I can look back on all of this later when/if I reach retirement is exciting. Per Fidelity, I should aim to save 1x my salary by 30, 3x by 40,.. Read More
This featured image is from my trip this past summer to St. Pete! No relation to this post, but wanted to include the image. The past week or so has been filled with significant internal conflict regarding Future Dilemma. I’ve just been all over the place. I have some notes so I’ll collect where all my head has been. Last week, I found myself with four scenarios, in no particular order. So after.. Read More
What a time to be alive, guys. For sportscar enthusiasts, I haven’t felt this good since the 90s. There are many, many great sportscars currently on the market which is impressive given that fully electric vehicles have been around for over a decade, only gaining traction (no pun intended). Automotive purists have not thrown the modern ICE sportscar out to pasture just yet. The Future Dilemma, as a reminder, was the result of.. Read More
So shortly after my last post, I was rear ended in my silent automobile. I attribute my rear end damage a little bit to its silent nature–if I had a loud V8 perhaps I would have startled the attention of the driver behind me? instead, I slipped in traffic and attempted to turn left to my detriment… Madden 24 came out last Friday, 8/18/23. The rosters are updated and some minor adjustments were.. Read More
Here in 2022, I find myself in the midst of a considerable transition. About two months ago I officially sold my favorite car, my Honda Civic Type R, for a fully electric Tesla Model Y. I love everything about it so far. Featured image is from a local EV event held at TIAA Bank Field that I attended recently. In other news, I have switched gears from NFL towards NBA, cycling to a..

I’ve been out of pocket for a bit for a multitude of reasons. I would believe that the vast majority of these reasons are good. I was in a strange place when I began this website–going through a few things. You may recall this post around this time last year about the night drive: Well, the time has changed from daylight savings again so here we are… the weather is cool and it’s.. Read More
This past week I learned what a clock spring (also known as spiral cable) is. For the past several decades I have been content with my ignorance, but not today! As I may have mentioned in past updates, I have been regularly commuting to work, something I was missing the past year and a half. One of my colleagues has been joining me in the office (making two out of a team of.. Read More
A common question that I encounter while looking at the next sports car goal (which I have affectionately named “the future dilemma”) is whether I want it to have a manual or an automatic transmission. This is a serious question. The first time I ran into this was when I purchased my Mazda 3. That Mazda was the first car I actually purchased wholly on my own. I vividly recall that when I.. Read More
