"Change is the only constant in life" - Heraclitus of Ephesos

Panta Rhei.

Life is flux.

And so there are no "good old days" but there are temporary days. The part of us that longs for the past just hasn't grown enough to appreciate the present. It is natural to crave the times where we weren't so consumed with the pressures of living, paying, and feeding.

This process of change happens all around us. It isn't unique to any one person, but we change as individuals. As groups, we shift our cultural references and preferences. As a population, we redefine the old to make sense for the new us that we've become.

It is in this change that made me realize what I call a win or victory isn't necessarily a good goal.


I play volleyball nearly every week with folks that are older and younger than me. I have noticed that most of the people who play are very good. They have cat-like reflexes, can hit the ball hard, and when things go wrong they can compensate.

The last team I played on was with a couple, a tall buff dude, and a man who is so clever I normally dislike him when I play against him.

Our team was stellar. We didn't have one weak teammate. Everyone could play 2-3 positions with skill. It got to the point where I didn't care if we made mistakes. I was delighted to play with the team.

After our games, I posted a tweet storm, that I deleted, then posted again.

3) What if the goal of this game was to assemble the best team and not score the most points?

What if the goal (for any group) was excellent team curation and not who has the most valuable cryptocurrency? Everything is in constant change. We might as well focus on being with those who are awake to this reality. Being with people like this is a win. Teaching others how to find people who welcome change is a huge victory.


ONO Virtual Bar

The ONO Virtual Bar as been an unexpected source of fun. I normally reserve laughing my ass off for really good gifs.

But now I get just as much laughs (and get to see even more gifs) at the ONO Virtual Bar. The bar is a casual place to share stories, philosophy, and be silly into the late hours. We even sometimes like to prethend taaa b drunnnnnnk!

Other times we like to actually drink (the air, Dominican Rum, beer, poetry). And there are some that are good doobies and aren't corrupted by us hooligans.

Occasionally someone will ask, "Wtf is ONO anyways?" And one of us will point them in the right direction. But with ONO software on the way, just hanging out with folks from around the world is such a sweet elixir. I expect we'll be bonding in a similar way in ONO.


Since things will change and I will be spending time at the ONO virtual bar (didn't see this coming 2 months ago), I've decided to make stickers that hint at a future we all may share. A VR future where we talk more than we text and we tell stories with people around the world from our living room.
