I, Slacker

The story of one man's brave journey from being a globetrotting internet professional to becoming a full-time slacker. It's about exchanging money for time, rediscover forgotten pleasures and enjoy the small (cubans & sportcars) and the bigger (the missus) things in life.

My Favorite Expressions

I have found myself using more and more corporate words eventhough I'm in a slacking mode. The one that I seem to use the most is "Pull The Trigger" and "Charge The Hill". I like the notion and action of them both. Since I'm an old Saphir-Whorf disciple I have a strong preference for words and thoughts that feed of each other. You cannot, without having a rich vocabulary, think big thoughts and vice versa. At least that is the simplification and media snippet of the theorem.

Metaphors are powerful and the images that these expressions provide are clear and actionable. They clearly derive from centuries of battle - first about land and then about market share. But I enjoy them in any daily occasion as well since they fend off the sometimes unwanted need of thinking to much.
