love
"i opened the book, picking a passage at random, and came across a tale about alexander the great. the emperor, as the story went, received as a gift some wondrous glass dishes. he liked the gifts very much, but smashed them all nonetheless. "why? are they not beautiful?" he was asked. "precisely because of that," he answered. "they are so beautiful that it would be hard for me to lose them. and with time they would break, one by one. and i would be sorrier than i am now."
the tale was naive but it still astonished me. its lesson was bitter: one should renounce everything he might ever begin to love, because loss and disappointment are inevitable. we must renounce love in order not to lose i…

lego
we had a ton of them, box after box, when i was a kid, and my older brother would build magnificent things and not let me touch them, or i wouldn't dare touch them next to the stuff he'd made. as time went by, at 34, i started building with a gift from my dear wife and realized how much i love it. it's incredible therapy for me. image image image image

in-n-out burger
in terms of price-performance, the most ideal fast food chain for america. from what i have seen, it's also americans' favorite chain. personally i love five guys much more, but five guys is about two and a half times more expensive.
and we didn't pass up joining the 9 months in n out trend with our baby either. image -
ray-ban meta
i own the ray-ban meta wayfarer gen 2 with transition lenses. the photo and video quality is really impressive. they're great sunglasses on their own, and most people don't even notice they're meta smart glasses. i've never had any battery problems. there's also a rumor that instagram gives a little extra visibility to photos and videos taken with meta ray-bans since they're tagged as meta-captured content. photo taken with the ray-ban meta: image

akhal-teke
the akhal-teke is a turkmene horse. the name 'akhal' comes from the ahal region of turkmenistan. it is one of the rarest and purest horse breeds in the world. it was allegedly seen in europe (brought by the ottoman empire) at the siege of vienna for the first time. it was mentioned as 'turk's wing' in the oldest comprehensive turkish dictionary.
these horses are super durable and can go without water for 3 days. i have never seen such a fascinating, majestic, and underrated animal. yes, in my opinion, the akhal-teke is the most beautiful animal in the world. it looks like a mythological character. imageimage -
