               1:02 PM, Monday,
               March 18th, 2019: This will seem
               like a humblebrag, but hopefully 20 years of
               NOT doing that will suffice as proof that I'm not
               suddenly starting now. It is actually
               painful for me to spend money if it's not for
               something we absolutely need, something I need to
               create or fix shit, or for the kids. And in EACH of
               those categories my mind races like a computer
               fighting the urge trying to think of more efficient
               ways to complete the same task WITHOUT spending money.
               It's pretty much the secret to my success. I can
               do more, with less, than anyone I've ever even heard
               of. If you saw the tools I used to build the
               guesthouse or GolfKon... it's crazy. My body has paid
               the price for that, but I'm still
               kickin'... ...however
               RentTheDelorean.com is now SO busy I just
               hate everything. We're coming up on our 400th event
               and the thing is? My life is no different than has we
               only done 40. Well, my free-time. Basically, since
               I don't spend any money, we don't live in a
               bigger house, I don't drive a better car... I
               feel no difference. That starts to weigh on you. You
               can only motivate yourself so long by just saying "I
               gotta keep doing this because it may go away at any
               moment." At some point it has to equal some TANGIBLE
               EXPERIENCE OR THING that makes all the hard
               work feel worth it.  So Talya and
               I got really good seats to a Clippers
               game... ...for fucking
               free. I mean, jesus. I happened to do a
               survey for them and suddenly get lower level seats
               like 15 rows up? Huh? And of course this is how the
               game ended:  I've seen Jordan
               MISS a game-winner live, but I've never seen an
               NBA game-winner live. It was really, really fun.
               And of course, free. LOL. Listen, I'll still
               do little things but the truth is? Until my mortgage
               is paid off my brain still feels like I'm struggling.
               That's got to be the craziest thing anyone has ever
               said that lives in LA. Housing here is INSANE. No one
               at 43 has their house paid OFF.  But for some
               reason? That seems like the point where I can
               exhale. And I guarantee if I ever get there
               I'll still act exactly like this. Sometimes, you're
               just you. Adam |
