Recording down south

So this week I am recording down south with the band. It is really nice down here. I hope there's as much rain up in Perth. My plants will be doing well. The guy has a nice setup down her. Its a big plot of land south of bunbury with a house in the middle of it. Its on the highway so there's a bit of traffic noise. Always there in the distance... Theres 1 room seperate to the house where things are recorded with a 2 way video and audio feed to a room in the house with the recording PC and rack mount gear. The fresh air is nice, but it is still too dry for my liking. I still wake up with a sore throat. The wide open spaces outside are nice. I like to jump on the trampoline, but its raining at the moment.

The next phase

The next phase is here. Its time to donate and blog world wide. $600 a week plus $100 per week investments plus $500 a per week trading... 1200/week! Then I can really travel in style. Could just do $300 / week for the house at first. I will make calls and look into the 2nd house. I've just woken up. Sunday morning. I should do a blog post for holiday planning. Its raining and pretty outside

Walk to bus stop

This is the view i saw every morning on my way to work, knowing a long day was ahead of me. Thankfully I won't need to see it anymore I'm that context. From now on, I'm walking, ubering, getting a lift, or hiring a car.  I am working my way up in the world

Ego

I am a very good looking guy, very smart, very talented. It's a lot of fun, but means nothing without application.

Cecily

So Cecily doesn't wanna hang out anymore. I think the only reason I wanted to hang out with her is because I want to feel loved. She never has many interesting things to say, or interesting point of views, or ambitions... She just horded a lot of junk and vomited from alcohol poisoning. Its very sad :( I could have really helped her if I'd taken the time to listen and put effort into her. But i was too busy with work, too tired on weekends... She couldn't really be helped anyway, she would react negatively to any advice by drinking even more.. But I at least wanted to try. If anyone could help her, its me. I want to show her my videos. I should do an entry on the wedding, if I haven't already. I have improved so much these last few years. I am stronger and smarter than ever, and there's no signs of plateauing.

Tidying

House is looking progressively better. It'll only get better from here.

The florist

Today I was talking to carji about the imaginary place I go called the florist. He really likes the idea and thinks I should make it a real place. Bean bags, books, flowers, tea and coffee, late nights, mood lighting, and of course flowers.

Last day of work, extra storage, hot tub

So I'm on the bus on my last day of work. HR still hasn't contacted me to confirm it's my last day. Slackers. If I'm still here when my work for the dole resumes then I'll get another job. Maybe even before then if I am missing work. I could build a storage box under the house, or just get a large box. I think a large wooden/metal box would be cheap and easy to make.

For the hot tub, I could just have a paddle pool on the back porch, then I could take it down when I wasn't using it. Wouldn't look as nice as a permanent masonry construction.

Today I need to:
Film office
Photos of desk
Ask for reference
Get things from desk

Ice cream girl + doomsday prediction

Today is wednesday, 21st of september 2016. My 3rd last day of work. I went and got icecream after i had lunch at the loving hut. The icecream girl looked very happy to see me. I regularly got icecream at that same place, cafe gelato, after lunch during lunch break at work. I get the coffee in a cup, single scoop. Coffee to wake me up from my after lunch sleeinesss, single scoop because too many carbs overworks the body, and cup so i can eat it with a spooon.

I just had another idea. The doomsday argument. There have been ~ 100 billion humans that have lived on earth so far, so if the total number of humans to ever live was 200 billion, then there would be a 50% chance that any particular human is born in the first 100 billion people. However, if the total number of humans to ever live is much larger, say 100 trillion, then there is a tiny chance that any human born would be in the first 100 billion. I have to queries with this argument. Firstly, there was never really a first human to be born... humans gradually evolved from other organisms over millions of years. So should we count the total number of living things instead? That number would be insanely big, and we have no way of accurately estimating it, to my knowledge. But i guess you could just draw the line somewhere and say "this is the first human", then the doomsday argument still makes sense. However by that logic, you could then define any group (of people) in the same way... Take the total number of cars ever made, see where your car ranks, and get an idea of how likely it is that you are driving the first of so many cars.  My second query; What if at some stage humans discover how to live forever, then the world reaches the maximum number of people it can feed, so people have to stop reproducing... nobody knew is born. In terms of the doomsday argument, this would be the equivalent of an extinction. However, new people will still be born due to death by accidents, murders, and disease. The estimated maximum sustainable population is estimated to be about 11 billion. The UN estimates it'll reach this around 2050-2070, let this be MP. In 2050 I'll turn 61 years old. Today, there are ~130 million births per year, so by 2050, ~4.4 billion more people will have existed, adding to the 100 billion that have existed already. Let the year that aging is cured be TI. It is assumed that TI is after the world population maxes out. Between MP and TI, new people will be born at the rate that they die. Today, ~0.7% of the world population dies each year. At 11 billion, this will be ~77 million deaths per year, therefore 77 million births per year. in 2001, there were 31 million preventable deaths. That was 0.5% of the population. If this percentage was the same after TI, then there would be 55 million new people per year after TI. However this percentage is expected to decrease as civilization improves. I can find the trend that it is decreasing, and extrapolate to 0%, to calculate the total number of humans that will be born after TI. Then i can calculate when TI would be such that the number of people born before or after me is equal!! Thus I would have an expected value for TI.

Last week of work

So i have gotten ahead with my work today, so i thought i'd write in my blog. I have been talking a lot at work with my friends from high school. They recommended a podcast called grandmas virginity, i am listening to it now. It is a good thing to do at work because it's entertaining but it still looks like i am working. We talk about a lot of interesting things in facebook chat. Today I was explaining global economics, QE, inflation, central banks, and investing in bonds and currencies. Understanding these things is key for getting your money to work for you. Apparently the japanese are not reproducing.. It's becoming a problem. I have money in a global bonds investment fund, which lots 1% over the last week, i was curious as to why, and apparently the sell off in bonds was triggered by the ECB when they didn't expand their QE program as expected. I was also telling my friends about the tinder dates I've been on. The one with the large girl that looked thin in her photos, then while we were in the city she ordered deep fried sushi. The other, there were problems in the bedroom.

Plan

Nobody can remember everything worth remembering, but this blog can. I want something to remind myself of all the great things I've done, and who i am. With this blog, I can remember anything I want. The aim of this blog is to document events of my life. Many events have already been documented in other formats, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the best option. Existing documentation will be re-posted here. Here I can combine text, photos, videos and music (via YouTube's unlimited uploads). Information here is easily searchable, safe and secure (as opposed to on my hard drives, which are likely to malfunction). Date's of posts can be set to the actual date that they were written, rather than the date it was posted here. I'm contemplating using different names, to protect the identity of those in my entries.
