And itâs not very glamourous
The thing about sales isâŠ
Itâs been around as long as prostitutionâŠ
Itâs monotonousâŠ
Itâs boringâŠ
And itâs repetitiveâŠ
Living in the Now
Right now, at the time of this writing, I would much rather be watching Jack Ryan Season 3 on Amazon, but here I am writing more content to monetize.
The goods news is that in the futureâŠmaybe these words will make money and pay for my one hundred dollar plus Amazon Prime Subscription I pay on credit card every January.
And, no, I did not write this blog post in Chat GPT or Open AI if youâre wondering.
Anyway, letâs take a sip of our coffee and get down to those polished brass tacks, shall we?
Note from Publisher: Sometimes we get interesting emails from anonymous people and this was one of them. So we published it! Enjoy!
I know.
Iâve lost money.
Iâve made mistakes.
Iâve done everything wrong.
Warren Buffet wont tell you what I know.
CNBC wonât tell you what I know.
Who am I?
It sure fking doesnât matter.
Read on if you got the brass balls to sit in the juices of the truth behind trading stock.
[convertkit form=3892407]
Hard Truth #1
Thereâs only two guys to follow on YouTube for âfree.â Alessio Rastani and Oliver Velez. There. Go follow them. I canât say enough about these two people. They are saints. (Notice I did not mention Kramer.)
Hard Truth #2
Itâs the size of your trading account that will determine your success.
Not your head and shoulders strategy.
Not you W patterns or wedges.
Not your triangles and butterflies.
It ainât what you know.
Itâs the size of your account.
So you can stay in the game longer than the other losers.
Hard Truth #3
They are happy that you make mistakes in the market.
They.
The Wall Street people.
If you donât know what Wall Street people do, then go learn.
Retail traders are busy remodeling their houses from you buying their webinars and signals to upload to Think or Swim.
Wall st. people are making probabilities with OPM, other peopleâs money.
Intermission
Are you starting to understand why itâs so hard for you to make money in the market?
Hard Truth #4
Can you afford to make two dozen trades today or just one?
Do you have patience?
Do you have money you can afford to lose?
These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself.
Hard Truth #5
You might not lose any thumbs like industrial fishermen on boats in Alaska do, but losing is still losing.
And if youâre not winning 8 out of 10 times you probably wonât make it to the playoffs or the world series.
Hard Truth #6
Basically, if you have an athleteâs mind or military mind you are closer to being a trader.
Hard Truth #7
And then there is getting experience instead of just fantasizing about it and the experience involves âblowing up your accountâ as they say.
Hard Truth #8
Buddha even says life is loss and he never traded stocks.
âCandlesticksâ come from Japan.
They weighed rice on scales in the market and traded it in the olden days.
Anyway, what I mean is, you should learn candlestick patterns.
The take away to all this?
There isnât one.

Colombian Flavor, kicked up …

This blend is made with smooth arabica beans and naturally high-caffeine Indian robusta beans. Start your day right- and highly caffeinated.
Mugs up, mother functioners.
Have you checked out this cup a joe?
DEATH WISH COFFEE REVIEW
Youâve seen the black boxes and bags in the Grocery store. Youâve seen the advertisements online and off, youâve seen the skull and bonesâŠyeah⊠have you tried Death Wish Coffee?
I know youâve been interested in trying it
Youâve said to yourself âHmmmâŠâ when youâve seen it on the shelves in the stores, but for some reason youâve shied away from it and stuck with your tried and true blend and brand.
Well, Iâm going to break the mold and tell you about Death Wish Coffee.
You can see me try the drink over on The Gosh Darn Podcast where Iâve given you my opinion.
You see, I am a coffee expert
I was drinking cappuccinos in cafes since I was 16, while I got up on the open mike at poetry readings.
Iâd drink coffee in high school if I pulled an all-nighter to finish my homework, which was like every night⊠I still have nightmares.
But yes the black stuff has been a thorn in my side for years and whether I like or not Iâm addicted. At least itâs not heroin.
So without further adieu I will try Death Wish⊠instant coffeeâŠhot not iced!
What I realized about Death Wish Coffee is that it is bitter just like espresso.
I can see myself making a mocha with this or if I had a coffee machine or milk steamer⊠cappuccino, latte or I could see myself pouring sweetened condensed milk in there.
Death Wish is both green and black coffee beans
I enjoyed it a lot, but I donât think I would drink more than one at a time. I canât imagine overdosing on this all morning long! I donât desire to that!
Be wise with your health when drinking the strongest cup of coffee on earth.
A breakthrough study has proven that this ugly plant turbo-charges metabolism and melts fat by fixing a newly discovered âroot causeâ of arm, butt and hip fat.
Itâs 556% more powerful than exercise â even when sleeping.
Itâs 611% more powerful at burning butt, arm and neck fat than any diet.
Even Dr. Oz. featured it recently on his show â calling it a booty fat buster!
Can you guess which one it is? (Click the link to find out)
PS. The $80 billion dollar weight loss industry do not want you to see this video and discover the amazing fat-melting plant. Watch it now before it’s too late.
Every once in a while Iâll put tweezers to them. Then there was one time a barber shaved my unibrow with an electric shaver (that was uncalled for!), but otherwise itâs not something Iâve thought about much until recently when I noticed the new SAI Eyebrow Designer at the Diagonal Plaza shopping center.
I decided to give it a try and there I met the owner Suna Sapkota Subedi who’s from Chitwan, Nepal, near Katmandu, and practices the ancient method of hair removal called threading.
Suna received her license in Nepal at a school called Nil-Debit. She spent a year getting trained on eyebrows, sideburns, upper lips, chin and full faces.
She leaned me back in a chair similar to one found at a dentistâs office holding a cotton thread stretched around both hands and it looked like she was about to floss my teeth, but instead she plucked away at my brow using a twisting motion, which grabbed my eyebrow hairs between the thread.
âThe difference between waxing and threading is there are no chemicals,â Suna told me. âThis technique is popular in Canada, London, and the United States.â
The whole process took twenty minutes and when she brought the mirror to my face I couldnât believe the difference two eyebrows make instead of one!
Coming out of Sai Eyebrow Designer, with model looks, was Grace, one of Sunaâs customers. I asked her about her experience.
Grace researched eyebrow designers online on Yelp when she first moved to Boulder.
âAnd Suna came up and had great reviews, so I had to check her out.”
I asked if she found the threading process painful.
âI have a high pain tolerance so I donât think so,” she replied âI mean beauty is pain⊠We (women) like to do it because it feels good.â
Eyebrows cost $14. Sona also does Sideburns, upper lips, chin, or the full face.
SAI Eyebrow Designer is located in the Diagonal Plaza shopping center next to the Boulder Drivers License office.
Visit Suna today at 2850 Iris Ave. Suite L, Boulder, CO 80301 in the DMV building. Plenty of parking.

A running shoe designed just for you
Disclaimer: This blog post has third party affiliate sites. We get a commission.
Jennifer and Danny Abshire are no stranger to running shoes. They founded Newton Running in 1988 have been doing custom orthotics ever since.
âWe worked with a lot world class athletes who would bring their shoe to, you know, for a race or they were injured and weâd kinda tweak their shoes ⊠a lot of times the shoe(s) were injuring people ⊠so then my husband, partner started designing this new footwear .. Newton Running, we built that into a like a big giant company.â
They left that company eventually and currently they are running their brand Active 88, started only 4 years ago.
âWe called it Active 88 because weâve been keeping people active since 1988,â said Jennifer to GoshDarnBlog.com.
Learn how to run correctly
Danny Abshire has a book called Natural Running that he published back in 2007. He is the designer of the shoes and his wife Jennifer chooses the colors.
Danny and Jennifer also teach people how to run naturally, so they can keep running until they are old and not get injured.
Danny told GoshDarnBlog, âWe need to run the way we would run barefoot, but with footwear on.â
Shoes need artwork too
Cody Abshire, their son, whoâs an artist, puts the artwork on the shoes.
He even sells his artwork in the store including his leather work.
Codyâs dad Danny showed us a wallet made with stingray on the inside.
Mold your feet with exactness
In their store thereâs a machine thatâs used to mold the orthotics to your foot.
Visit Active 88
Donât delay! If you need some special shoes for your feet donât hesitate to go down to Active 88 at 1926 14th Street, Boulder, CO and get shoes custom made just for you!
Ron Fortier has been a professional comic book writer and author for almost fifty years, now.
The comic books heâs worked on are numerous and youâve definitely heard of some of the super heroes heâs written comics for like The Hulk, Popeye,Rambo, Peter Pan, The Green Hornetand The Terminatorare just a few!
He spends a good deal of time now-a-days publishing independent comic books at his Airship27.com publisher site and let us tell you has has many, many books and comics published under his belt!
Ron is no stranger to Comic Cons and we at GoshDarnBlog caught up with him at the Fort Collins Comic Con in August 2022.
We asked Ron 4 questions so if youâre a fan of Stan Lee then youâll really like Ron Fortier.
GoshDarnBlog asked him about his career and about how to do a Comic Con when youâre a newb.
Read on to find out below!
1. Whatâs the biggest lesson youâve learned from Comic Cons? What advice do you have for someone who wants to be a vendor at a Comic Con?
ââŠFor the first time, if they are sitting behind the table alright, as a creator, is have fun! Have fun meeting people, being social and talking to âem okay? Donât go with the mercenary attitude of âOooh I gotta sell all my books, oh I gotta make a profit, blah blah blah,â ⊠if you go in with that attitude itâs like I said itâs very mercenary, very cold, and itâs not what this fandomâs about. These people are here because they love Comics. The comics that youâve written, illustrated or whatever, itâs an opportunity for you to meet with âem and to share with them, okay, that love and that passion, if they buy something thatâs icing on the cake⊠but trust me okay, even if they canât the situation is they donât have any money or whatever and they walk on theyâll remember that conversation theyâll walk away going that was hell of a nice guy and next time if I come back and have some cash Iâm stopping over and getting one of his books. And it works all the time. Itâs just being honest its liking people and having fun.â
2. Whenâs your next class at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins?
âWe are starting it back up this September, once again Itâs going to be an 8 week course at the front range community college alright itâll be on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 at night and um basically how to write comic strips and graphic novels.â
3. Whatâs your comic book series Mr. Jigsaw all about?
âMr. Jigsaw is a comedy super Hero that myself and Hawaiian artist Gary Kato created almost forty years ago now when we were first breaking into the business and it was basically a series of short stories, 8, 10 page adventures of a character who can break apart like a jigsaw puzzle, alright, he lives in the state of Maine and operates out of the city of Portland Maine heâs a young fella heâs very naĂŻve and he thinks his ability to break apart and then reconnect is some how very cool and so it gets him into all kinds of different problems and situations but the thing is heâs so likeable and has such a close circle of friends that they always come to his aid and in the end the good guy always wins thatâs Mr. Jigsaw, Man of a Thousand Parts.â
4. Whatâs coming up for you?
âI got a new six issue mini series itâs science fiction itâs called beyond the stars we just kickstarted issue #1 and Iâm doing it with an Italian artist names Andrea Bermeda that I connected with online heâs a 30 year veteran from working in European comics so thatâs the newest thing Ron forty (Fortier) has go on the shelf these days.â
I just sit there with my earphones on, not listening to any music or YouTube vlogs. Iâm blogging or poet-ing or prose writing or all of that.
I hear people laughing in a weird way and now Iâm comparing the baristaâs laugh to some other guy in a booth across the room from me. They should both go out with each other. They have twin laughs.
A boy next to me tells his high school gf, Iâve got a cute picture of you! and she gets out of her chair to join him on his red cushioned booth seat, so she can cuddle with him while looking at the pictures on his phone.
Clop, clop, purrress, goes the wooden floor as patrons pass by. Will they spill their coffee or tea? Without a saucer underneath theyâre bound to, but I did not know about saucers in cafes until I started getting pots of green tea for my table.
The door squeaks open and a chubby bald man with a beard leaves while his smell passes through my nostrils. The door opens again and he comes back inside while I realize I smelled him coming before the door opened. This is a terrible realization and Iâm just glad Iâm not sitting near a bathroom.
I can smell something sugary and it reminds of those ginger cookies cafes have behind the glass case with little sugar sprinkles on them.
Lots of conversation sounds spew up into the air and bounce around the wooden board walls and off the wood floor.
Thereâs even a childâs voice now and it all sounds nothing like a laugh track Very lively now and Iâm alone typing what Iâm experiencing here.
Iâve been feeling quite alone lately, so much so that I joined Tinder but I would rather talk to people, and smile and look into their eyes because apparently thatâs what we are supposed to be doing because otherwise our lives are just meaningless!
I did not come up with the above new age idea on my own. Instead, an old Alan Watts recording uploaded onto a YouTube channel told me.
Heâs carrying his sonâs plastic sword for him and follows his son to the backdoor admiring this painting above me as he goes out. Heâs looking at a painting on the wall and I know the artist who did a rendition of âWhen Alexander the Great Met Diogenes the Cynic.â He sat with me for a bit and drank his coffee hoping I would by a painting, but I wouldnât.

HOW TO USE TINDER
Iâm like a detective for fake accounts now
Finding fake accounts is so easy.
The scammers donât know English.
How so, bro?
If a person on Tinder is asking you what you are looking for on this âappâ instead of using normal English day to day words, like instead of using the word âdateâ they say âappointment!â LOL! OMG!
Revision Update! I will not be buying Super Likes.
I will buy some Super Likes this week so I can message any pretty face I want to and I will be glad to tell you how they work in another part of this series.
What else is going on?
I joined OK Cupid and they have the same system. Apparently all the dating apps are owned by the same company and they want you to keep using the app so theyâre all set up like a casino.
How do you win then?
In a casino, if you put a bet on twenty tables, most will lose, but some will win.
I saw a Ray Dalio video on YouTube that explained this phenomenon, but the casinos are betting that most people will lose and a small percentage will win.
We have to play it like that
We spread our bets with those SuperLikes to avoid fake matches and to win a small percentage of real people we will actually get to talk to and date from playing our chips, our coveted, expensive SuperLikes which we buy on top of paying $29.99 a month on Tinder platinum.
Learn to have more options than just Tinder, man!
Yesterday I interacted with really attractive women in real life.
Did I get anywhere?
No, but I am still playing the Casino.
What you want to think about when you talk to women in real life
Some are more sensitive than others, stay away from any trouble.
Nice women exist. Seek and you shall find.
Donât be upset at getting rejected. Smile at it. Donât give in to your fears.
Get used to feeling embarrassed, this is really your super power!
Practice makes perfect. Athletic and military mindsets work. IE David Goggins.
It might take a LONG time for you to practice the above and get used to it
