Midpoint
Today marks the psychological midpoint of my stay in Syndey(two months alreadyyy). My work at PwC is over and I'm about to start classes at Sydney Uni in couple days. Just thought I'd give whoever secretly reads this back home (without leaving comments) an update. Apologies for my laziness. It's rubbing off on me down here.

Hope with a Caveat
Emphasised by Buffet, a slice from John Maynard Keyne's essay "The Great Slump of 1930", which is pretty pertinent to our current circumstances.
"This is a nightmare, which will pass away with the morning. For the resources of nature and men’s devices are just as fertile and productive as they were. The rate of our progress towards solving the material problems of life is not less rapid. We are as capable as before of affording for everyone a high standard of life—high, I mean, compared with, say, twenty years ago—and will soon learn to afford a standard higher still. We were not previously deceived. But today we have involved ourselves in a colossal muddle, having blundered in the control of a delicate machine, the working of which we do not understand. The result is that our possibilities of wealth may run to waste for a time—perhaps for a long time."
Think long term people!

Ommm
Omm.
This sound is so unbelievably powerful.
Try this: find a quite place. Sit comfortably with legs crossed or lotus style. Say Omm (dont just spit out Omm. Say it more like Ommmmmmmm...until you run out of breath). Repeat. Forever. or just three times. Find someone to join you because the more people the more beautiful it gets. This is serious stuff. Not mushy hippie shit. Try it. It'll send vibrations through your whole freaking body system. No, not like an orgasm. But close.
