Apollo: a tribute to Carl Weathers
One weekend when I was like five years old, I went over my dad’s house for the weekend and he rented the movie Predator (1987). It was my first time ever watching it and I was excited because I was a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan. One of the main characters in the movie was a guy named Dillon, portrayed by Carl Weathers, the equally muscle bound best friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character. This was my introduction to the legendary and sure enough I would become a fan of all of his work as an actor as I grew up.

Remember the Eighties? OMG. Where Did Time Go?
Memories. Where do they come from? Chemicals in our brains tell us hazy stories about how things were NOT. It is like dreams---a fragmented pseudo-recollection completely off in comparison. But at least those are dreams. Memories play games with our minds. We romanticise a reality we think we lived, but it's just that, a fantasy tale, not a true-to-form recollection. It feels good to think of them in a brighter light. Who knows how we felt at that moment, but it wasn’t how we remember it today.

How To Seduce Anyone With Psychology
Normally, you go around more interested in your own thoughts and ideas, and you're locked in your head. It's like a record, like in the old final days going around and round around the same grooves, right? You just switch it around, and you tell yourself the other person is more interesting than me—their life, their thoughts, their ideas. It's like an undiscovered world; it's like going to Tahiti or something and visiting another culture. They have experiences you've never had, a world that's not your world. It's fascinating; they're like a character in a movie. I want to understand it. If somebody did that to you suddenly in the office or in the realm of male-female seduction, you would feel it. You would go, "Wow, that's rare," and you would be halfway seduced by just the attention.

Anyone can get wealthy.
When I was eleven years old, I began investing. I simply drifted off till I was seven, eight, or nine, but regrettably, I didn't start until I was eleven. However, I purchased my first stock when I was eleven years old. From then on, I played with a ton of different things, including charting, timing stocks, and doing all kinds of crazy things. It was a lot of fun, even though it wasn't profitable, and I continued that until I was nineteen. and I devoured every book on investing in public libraries. It was engrossing, but I had no structure; I was just looking for something, hoping that small things on a chart would sometimes tell me something about what a stock was going to do. It was kind of crazy, but since everyone else was doing it, I figured I'd give it a try. Later, in 1949, I read Ben Graham's book, The Intelligent Investor. I had never heard of them before, and there are really only two chapters that are crucial to understanding them.
