I recently did my taxes and I got what we call in the proper cultured society:

"Fucked in the culo by the IRS"

But single, with no dependents or a house in the US it happens...So I expected it, but God-Damn they went all H.A.M. on my ass.

Didn't even call the next day or send flowers either.

But I also took major risks last year...Lost a grip on crypto and some other things too.

"Then why do you do it Noodles?  Why do you keep taking risks when you keep losing money?  Dat's dumb!"

BECAUSE...Every now and then your instinct is correct and that clears up everything else.

So on my risks...Not the taxes mind you, I lost a certain amount.

But today, I found out something else I had my thumb in, made up for it and more than doubled what I had lost.

And that's how I've always seen life as.

If you risk, you'll lose a lot, but if you don't risk you'll never get ahead.

You'll be stagnant.

Fearful of the unknown...Drawing between the lines...Staying in your lane...Doing it but not really advancing.

Now not talking about STUPID risks.

Like "Hey Noodles have sex with that HIV+ she-male under that gondola...In front of your Father."

That's a bridge too far...Today...Ask me tomoorow.

JK!

But if you ar thinking hard about something and not sure...You might as well do it because even if it's not the right decision you won't have regrets.
