from Latin ambitio (“ambition, a striving for favor, literally ‘a going around’, especially of candidates for office in Rome soliciting votes”)

Eager or inordinate desire for some object that confers distinction, as preferment, honor, superiority, political power, or fame; desire to distinguish one’s self from other people. 

The second you sit down in the day is time for you to take a nap!

Literally and metaphorically

Eat one meal per day before bed. Beef only. As a side I like spicy naturally fermented kimchi

These new barefoot shoes that I am experimenting with are absolutely incredible. I put on a normal pair of shoes to go biking recently and when I stepped off to walk around they felt like shit. I think I finally found a shoe that I am happy with. I thought ASICS was good, but barefoot is definitely the way to go from here on out. My feet genuinely feel different already after only a few days of use. The way they naturally splay your toes out is insanely comfortable and fit my lifestyle perfectly with daily fitness and constant waking for street photography.

I have been exclusively wearing Lululemon clothing for the past 7 years. The clothing is pretty damn durable because they have lasted throughout my travels all over different parts of the world. You can style yourself for fitness, casual, or classy with the variety of what they sell. My recent favorite has been the Lululemon New Venture Blazer that looks super nice with the ABC Pull-On pants. Everything has zipper pockets and is more comfortable than any clothes I have ever worn in my life. Clothing is like armor and is worth investing in quality stuff. Once you go Lululemon, you can’t go back!

Slightly out of focus black and white video from the Ricoh GRIII. Out of focus/blurry imagery is kind of interesting?

Meet me at the Eagle statue inside the Wanamaker Building @ 5:30 and enjoy the music that has been playing for over a century

My dreams have been insanely potent with creativity and entertainment lately. Maybe the earlier you go to bed, and the deeper you sleep, the more epic dreams you have?

I can’t help but think BIG. Small talk and small thoughts are not my thing. I am a dreamer that can’t stop and won’t stop

I have been experimenting with cold showers for the past month. It seems to have a lasting effect on me throughout the day that boosts my overall strength, confidence, and happiness. It definitely gives you a shock to the system after crawling out of bed and apparently is a natural testosterone booster and boosts your immune system. In praise of cold therapy!

I went to bed at 9pm last night and woke up at 5am. 8 hours of sleep is okay, but I should realistically just sleep in for a few more hours tomorrow and get 10-12 hours of sleep. There is no need for me to stay up late at night. I like to get into bed around 8pm and fall asleep early because there is nothing else to do once I eat my dinner. What am I going to do? Watch a TV show? Check the big game? I swear there is way too little time in the day to be up late at night getting some dopamine hits to go through the day with my eyes bleeding
