bruh I can’t believe I got away with using 3 different fonts for this site lol

See, normally I’d gravitate towards my safe, corporate-w/-a-twist font, IBM Plex Sans Thin or Circular or something, or go with something I’d see on a museum wall or streetwear brand like Bebas Neue… but naw, I like how quirky the site’s become. Changed the domain name from alfredorm.com to alfredoruiz.co since all my social media tags are some variation of alfr_ruiz, and every single one of my friends would point out how weird alfre-dorm sounded.

I heard Gary Vee say followers are becoming less important and social media is becoming interest media. We have clippers to thank for that, Whop seems to be doing quite well. I’ll stick to IG for reels, YT for long-form and reels, and X for philosophy a-la-Naval.

Do you think I’m moving too slow? I think I probably am if I’m worrying about it that much. I’ll grow my IG by following the viral pages Tai Lopez course, while finding a make.com scenario that can automate my posts on all platforms.

I got that AV Technician job but it’s sporadic, part-time, event-based income. I want to spend all my money on infrastructure for my businesses but I can’t afford to lose it all my right now. It’s a critical time for me; I must play it safe, for now.

I’ll save up 2k to kill off some debt, then proceed with Backin’ It, watch trading, and personal brand development.

Backin’ It is the name of my AI Automation Agency. Initially I bought the domain “backinit.com” to make the name “Back In It” but then came to the realization that wait no—the former is way cooler. Struggling to find the right design language earlier, but what do you think about brutalist / bauhaus? Pure black / white, then red / blue / yellow.

I’m just gonna dirty bulk ’till I get big fuckin’ arms.

Then take Trizepatide ’till I get ripped.

IT’S SO EASY NOW.

  • website generation
  • business iteration
  • idea propegation

imagine living 20 years ago, I’d be so cooked by now

that’s part of the reason I’ve been skating by for so long. It’s mainly my pride, of course. But it’s also the insane force multiplier that is the LLM race. Manus was exciting but it’s already getting obsoleted.

I think I’m just happy I get to write on my cool-looking blog with my own custom domain and such… not everyone gets to write into the void with as much customization as me. Using nuxt has been cool ig, but vibe-coding everything hasn’t let me notice too much of a functional difference between this and next.js, especially since I’m just writing on a simple blog.

Re-reading my “This I Believe” essay was not so bad, just not enough extrapolation on some important topics. Oh, how important Popper and Deutsch have become in my life so far…

I’m actually kind of happy for the first time in a while. I mean I have a job that I actually admire. I have incredible friends and friendships. I’ve unlocked the secrets of diet & sleep which are half the secret to happiness. I have a plan for the future. I am following that path forward everyday to some extent.

Bro—I’m listening to Radiohead’s 2006 Bonnaroo set while writing on my pretty little blog, riding out the final wave this coffee from 6pm gave me… It’s 12:21 AM now. Life is good. But that’s the scary part, innit? I’m not contrarian, I just take everything seriously. I’m not gonna sabotage this nice moment by doing anything stupid, but simply recognize that I am totally not satisfied with where my life is right now. Thing is, every single one of my friends would do nothing to change their situation if they were in my shoes. Well—ok I don’t know that. If they had my exact problem-set, with their specific genes and knowledge, who knows what they’d do. But hypothetically, I believe most people with a decent future plan and a comfy present would find it difficult to change course into a less secure future. But the pros of starting a business have always seemed to far outweigh the cons.

I sure talk a lot of game…

I want someone.
