Earthquake
Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out.
There’s an eclipse tomorrow.
I had an “idea” earlier this week.
I guess it’s not really an idea, because it’s nothing I would ever do.
But that’s probably unrealistic.
The eclipse is all over the news.
You’d have to pull that prank on someone with no access to cable or internet.
So naturally, my mind went to homeless people.
And then when the eclipse starts they’d be like….. ok never mind that’s too fucked up.
That’s probably not even giving homeless people enough credit.
Even homeless people know about the eclipse.
There’s gotta be an idiot somewhere out there who would fall for it.
Maybe an Amish or something.
Made me feel terrible about myself for missing out.
Any time something cool like that happens I miss out.
Like the fucking earthquake.
I’ve always wanted to experience an earthquake.
I may even consider it a bucket list item.
And there was a fucking earthquake in New Jersey + NYC on Thursday at 10:23am.
99% of the time I’m in the office then.
Likely sitting still at my desk putting together shit for the Rundown,.
Meaning I was on the train with the earthquake hit.
I was so pissed.
My train ride to work is no more than 20 minutes.
What a rush that must have been.
I bet that would have made you appreciate life a little bit more for the next couple of hours.
Speaking of things I miss out on, don’t even get me started on Bitcoin.
I’ll never forget when Bitcoin first started to become a thing.
I remember when it was just under $300 per share.
At that time, I decided to was going to buy some.
I knew nothing about Bitcoin other than some people on the internet told me it would make me rich.
I think I was maybe waiting on a pay check.
For some reason that deterred me.
I wanted exactly 1 whole Bitcoin.
Something about that nice round number.
So I bailed on the whole thing entirely.
And now it’s at over $68,000 per share.
It’s just gonna keep going up.
But I continue to sit on my ass, making no moves as I watch Bitcoin continue to rise.
People talk about Bitcoin every day at our office and I just sit quietly at my desk feeling sick.
But it never peaks.
It just keeps going up.
And I keep doing nothing while everyone else gets rich.
Soon all of our bank accounts will be depleted.
But they can’t take my money if I’ve got nothing to give.
