XVII( I do not love you)

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

-- Pablo Neruda

this is one of my favorite poems 🙂

That time a philly mob broke into city hall by climbing the gates and brought a keg with them to have a party inside. Now this is how you have a riot!

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.

-- Walt Whitman, Song of myself, 1892

"Winners forget they are in a race, they just love to run" -- With Honors

The rewatch was worth it...

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”

I feel like im overdue for a watching of the Dead Poets Society... I might need to give it a watch in the next few days...

So apparently this is a picture of a "chef's salad" from a local restaurant in Philly. I cant stop laughing at the fact that they call this a salad and its basically just a pile of meat and cheese, you can barely find the little tidbit of green poking out from underneath.

Well we are absolutely fucked, there foes the fourth and second amendments right out the window.

The meme does have a point...

I feel like ornithologists really need to get laid more.

So took me much longer to port my stock trading algorithm over to a proper automated system then I hoped...

I knew I had something impressive because I had backtested a rudementary version of my algorithm and the ROI was astronomical. Problem was the platform I was using was very basic, it couldnt autotrade for me and was almost impossible to code anything too advanced anyway. But it did provide back testing. For some time after that i used the algorithm to trade manually, checking when it told me to buy or sell and doing it. while that proved out the ROI was real it didnt really reach its full potential as I would often trade sometime after the algorithm alerted me.

Now I have everything **finally** automated took two solid months but its working. I have thrown every stock I could find at it and after backing for a year, random years every time, different stock, not **once** has the algorithm lost me a penny at the end of any year. Some stocks it never traded on because the volume was too low and apparently it knows well enough to not go in on those stocks (not entirely sure how honestly even though i wrote the damn thing), for those stocks the ROI is 0 of course. But for every other stock I am coming in multiple times over buy&hold, even when the stock goes negative overall and crashes (it knows when to short)!!!!

I am so excited how well this is working out.
