Day 47. I haven’t slept in 31 hours. My heart is doing something weird. Not painful, exactly. Just… unusual. Rhythmic in a way that doesn’t feel rhythmic. Like when a song is technically on beat but something is off about it. My Galaxy Watch just flagged my heart rate as “elevated.” I check the timestamp: […]
A thousand dollars. On coffee beans. That I haven’t used yet. I’m 40 years old. I make decent money. I have a 401(k). I have a mortgage. But I also have a climate-controlled storage unit filled with $1000 worth of unopened coffee beans, and I need to explain why this is not the mistake everyone […]
I need you to hear me out before you dismiss this as crazy. I’m a data guy. I track everything. My sleep, my workouts, my coffee consumption, my mood, my productivity. Everything has a timestamp and a metric. I don’t believe in vibes. I don’t believe in gut feelings. I believe in what I can […]
My espresso machine cost more than my first car. That was probably my first warning sign. I was 40 years old when I bought it—a $2,400 Italian machine with brass fittings and a steam wand that could theoretically heat milk like a professional barista. My girlfriend at the time, Rachel, watched me unbox it with […]
My therapist costs $200 an hour. My coffee costs $6. And honestly, the coffee is doing a better job. I’m 40 years old and I’ve been commuting to the same office for eight years. Every single day, without fail, I wake up at 5:47 AM (my Galaxy Watch vibrates, always on schedule), I shower, I […]
Here’s the weird truth nobody wants to admit: your coffee isn’t actually about coffee. I know how that sounds. I’m 40 years old and I’ve probably consumed somewhere north of 35,000 cups of coffee in my lifetime. I track things obsessively—my sleep on my Galaxy Watch, my weight on my Xiaomi scale, my productivity in […]
I’ve done something stupid. Genuinely, genuinely stupid. And I’m about to confess it all. I was tracking my sleep. I’m obsessive about tracking—caffeine intake, cortisol patterns, sleep latency, REM cycles. I have months of data. Perfect data. My Xiaomi smart scale measures body composition. My Samsung Galaxy Watch logs every breath. I know my sleep […]
I don’t believe in superstitions. I’m a data guy. I measure things. I calculate. I remove emotion from decisions and replace it with spreadsheets and statistics. So it’s absolutely mortifying to admit that I almost didn’t write this.
I’ve never been one to believe in the supernatural. No ghost stories, no crystal healing, no tarot cards. I’m practical. I work with data. I track metrics. My Samsung Galaxy Watch logs every heartbeat, every step, every calorie. Everything can be measured, quantified, explained. Then I drank a cup of coffee from 2003 and reality […]
