Yo Steve!

No, quit the Fenway thing. It was fun though. Sometimes it's fun to have a side job that one doesn't particularly care about and hey, it was great having that access. As for the writing, well . . . not on the poetry front.

When I do sit down to write it's for my masters. A professor asked me today, "Rico, why is it that whenever I ask you how things are doing, you seem anguished?" The stress is keeping me svelte though. In June it looks like I'll be taking part in a program in Ecuador, if all goes to plan. Anyway, hopefully I'll have a solid idea by the end of the summer for what to do my masters project/thesis on.

I'm curious about your new thing and also what this Ethereum business is. Any new music cooking away?

By-the-by, does anyone have any advice on starting a Roth IRA?

kleinbl00 -You're pretty savvy in the ways of the Roth, right?

Good luck with the thesis topic and in securing that Equador trip Rico. Funny, when I'm stressed I get the opposite of svelte.

Lots of new music these days. I just posted a new song yesterday.

Send me some lyrics! I just relistened to "The Temp," the other day. Remember that one?

We will announce more about the new thing soon.

Super easy.

Seed that shit with like $500, set it up as a lazy portfolio (I recommend what they're calling "Yale U's unconventional"; I can give you some ETF approximations of the mutual funds they built it from) and then ignore it.

Then, with your shiny new TD Ameritrade account, go over here and play the fake ponies. I got hammered last month in fake money but did pretty well in real money and the ability to play with fake money lets you feel smart (or stupid) without any skin in the game.
