Finally got my Rolex

Sometimes, without any reason, it takes me forever to do something that I really want to do. This is obviously a healthy, natural thing for long-term goals or anything that is an ambitious pursuit. However, sometimes I take forever to do a simple task. Often, this has to do with prolonging desires unnecessarily. One fairly common version of this is not wearing a new clothing item because you are saving it for a special occasion. I've got a fancy robe in my closet I haven't worn once in 6 years because I'm saving it for the ideal moment. In the casket? Haha.

Sometimes I'm so excited about a TV show, comedy special, or movie coming out that I'll savor and relish the chance to watch it insanely long, sometimes to the point where I don't get around to watching it. This is stupid. Really stupid.

I can get so ceremonial about something that no time seems good enough, and this is a habit I've been breaking a lot lately. But something I've heard recently is "I am the occasion," "being alive is the occasion." I've been making a lot of big changes in my life with a good degree of success. Implementing moderation, not prolonging gratification excessively, immediacy of completing tasks—these have been game-changers.

So, anyways, getting my Rolex was one of these occurrences (pictured at the very bottom below). I think this watch is very representative of my philosophy. This thing is a beast—alarm clock, calendar, stopwatch. It is affordable, durable, a classic. I bought three of them for less than the cost of a Ferrari.

By contrast, I'm going to include two Amalie fancy watches that are interesting. The first image is this insane watch that has the solar system and zodiac signs, and it's truly a work of art.

The second watch I feature is a perfect combo of high-end and absolute degenerate. Watch this video.

Below is my Rolex that I just bought three of. I hope this changes my relationship to time, which I've been working on. Today is day one.

Lush living.
