 It’s my birthday today. This year I’ve written about becoming a thief, alcoholic, machine learning expert, writer, photographer, drunk driver and poet. Some was AI generated content, while others were fictional stories, but all are the narrative for my year. These experiences have allowed me to think outside of my head. It’s been the best year of my life. It will continue to peak so long as I taste the sweetness of the here-and-now. It’s scary to be out of your mind at all times. Like attempting to pickpocket an iPhone in the back jean pocket of the cute Asian girl waiting by bar. This would be the first time you pickpocket a stranger inside a club. All for sport. For the gamble, something casinos, trading, or sports betting could never compare. I’ve learned of having skin in the game. Especially after immediately snitching on my friend who bet me to pickpocket the girl in the bar (without knowing I’d actually go through with it).
