Hello
So I train baseball players full-time now. Prior to that I was a Data Scientist making a lot of money and eventually rage quit the software development industry entirely, because I was trying to ignore the very thing I knew about myself when I was 17 years old - that I don't like computers.
Well, I don't like them in a certain way. You understand. Or you don't. Anyway.
Yeah. Moving to Seattle gave me the opportunity (as fake as it may have been; there's no reason I couldn't have done this in Cleveland) to change my life. And I did. I have become even more introverted, more of a jerk (mostly just brutally honest), and more anti-academic than I used to be. Which is hard, considering.
Still very hard on myself.
Oh, I have a two-year old son. Tycho. He is a pain in the ass. Advice: If you like your life, don't have kids. Not saying that I liked my life before I had kids, but just saying that if you don't want everything you do to be completely removed from your life, you shouldn't have a kid. Because that's what happened with me. In some respects, this was a good thing. In others, not so much. But oh well.
I kinda miss this place. It is clear it has a niche that no other social media site ever really replaced. Or ever will, probably.
Believe it or not, I still read my Friends List every so often. And maybe I just pick the right people, but it sure seems like many of you have done something exceptional with your lives. And that is awesome.
Continue being great. And write about it. I'd write about how I went from a nobody baseball trainer to giving seminars and having pros fly out to train at our facility, but the intersection of science and sports is a small one indeed - especially the one I happen to reside in. As such, no one cares. Which really kinda sucks. Well maybe you care, but you aren't interested in having a 4 hour long conversation about it with me. Which is what I really want.
But if there were enough people willing to have that conversation with me, I wouldn't be dominating my niche, I guess. I learn a lot about entrepreneurship and really how lonely it can be with each passing day.
Anyway, keep on. Especially you, sleepinbeauty.
