Naturally, astrologically, I’m a bull. Although, I feel like a piece of me, spiritually, is a bear, which has nothing to do with me as a butterfly. & those have NOTHING to do with Otter. As Otter, I am a Scorpio. Multiple worlds. They’re all mine and you’re just crashing on the couch in them. 😉 & in the “real world,” or what we call it, I can’t help but feel like an alien.

Born a Taurus, created myself into ‘Otter.’ Or did I?!? Was it the universe’s plan all along?!? [No, it has nothing to do with the otters of the gay world]. ‘Otter’ is actually an acronym. I’ll let you do the guessing. I discovered me. I really dig bears, as in the actual animal. I love seeing the little cubbies play with each other. [Again, not a nod to the rod]. It’s sad that disclaimer must be given. But when it does come to that world, I can see myself as otter-ish. LMFAO. I’ve always heard the expression ‘mama bear,’ but it wasn’t until I saw a video on how a ‘mama bear’ can get, & I was like, OK!

I’m so consumed, for a great permanent part, with the stock market —in a positive way! I’ve FINALLY got into the stock market! Am I behind the times? YES! I’m trying to make up for the lost ones. I even thought it’d be a great idea to invest my hard-earned money into shitty stocks just so I can lose! Yep! Ride the wave! That’s me! [No, not always riding something!] It’s not a life lesson if it ain’t complicated. Unfortunately, all the best things in life are complicated. 😉

I haven’t inherited a trust fund or something of that nature— yet, so I must make shit happen for myself. I’m OK with that. It’s all for the better, because then no one can try & take anything away from you or contest it & have things used against you. Although, I’m not opposed to still having one… 😉 New, old money here.

Participating in the stock market is something I’ve been wanting to do. It‘s something I NEED to do, especially because I’m so driven on investing! But being the Rockstar I am, I didn’t always have the “time” to devote to it. Now, things have changed. For someone who didn’t have “time,” has it! The push, push came when I was on holiday in Denver, celebrating going around the sun another time. Only the good die young. 😉 That was when the ever-so-great Elon Musk with his musk was doing SNL & EVERYONE was so gaga over it, & even more so gaga over dogecoin. I’m STILL trying to figure out how & why people are so obsessed with him & follow his every move. Literally. & by that, when he says jump all his muskers say ‘how high’ or run to the nearest bridge!?! WTFQ?!? It cracks me up when I see articles, and tweets, because everything now is a tweet! [Are you an early bird or a night owl? You dirty bird]. Anyway, back to my statement, that say the market shouldn’t rely off one person’s tweet. TRUE! Sad it’s happening, true it is happening!?! Why in the fuck would you!?! Shows how STUPID people are. Spit me a game & we’ll be talking; get me a few drinks & I’m yours, but a couple of tweets?!?! For Dionysus’s sake! Can I get a retweet!?! So funny. And sad. Seriously, people!?! Teslas aren’t even that great of a car. People who drive them should take their head out of the clouds, or from their ass, or from someone’s. I forgot how much a vehicle can be such a form of confidence for people, especially the insecure, an icon for status. A lot of times when there’s traffic in that place where Angelenos spend more time on than with their “loved” ones and sometimes work, it’s probably because a damn Tesla is just coasting along, probably for 2 reasons: because they want to show off they have a Tesla &/ or because the damn thing has no power! It’s either going really slow, or flies by out of nowhere because that brave little toaster finally caught whatever power it promotes and took off. Some might say, launched. Here we go with space rockets. [Speak nerdy to me]. But in the meantime, go get your pocket-rocket.

Anyway! Enough about that. I met someone in Denver. NO! not like that… Hahaha. We got to talking about the stock market & cryptocurrency. It’s one of the few times you can talk about money. One of the first things he said was, I’m not giving financial advice. I laughed my ass off. I just needed the tip — & tricks. I mean tips. 😉 Hey, it was one of the better starts of a conversation I’ve had rather than in the past. This person wasn’t the only person I exchanged with about the stock market, but it all did happen within the same week. I hear you, Universe. My moneyhouse is telling me: JOIN. My cosmic message. I had spoken with someone else who had just started investing into crypto. I don’t think she was a clepto.

I got things established –online accounts wise, kind of, but I got nowhere. Time was running out. It was a live Saturday night; Saturday Night Live was happening. For some, the next best thing after sliced bread and God, himself, Elon Musk was on the television set. That creative piece of work. & I couldn’t for the life of me dump a bunch of my entire life savings into dogecoin because I hadn’t prepared right! I hit the snooze button one too many times. I even unplugged my wireless alarm clock! I was behind the times! Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!!! HE was going to subliminally get us all by mumbling ‘dogecoin’ as he pretended to clear his throat when giving one of his monologues. Or, he was going to do it whenever the cue-card said, I don’t know! & that would be the end of it all. Tooooo bad that was the end of it all. Doge tanked. Whiskey-dick.

It amazes me how much power HE has! Elon. People literally think he’s Godsend! If not God!?! It shows how dumb people are to just follow anyone, & for some, hop on the bandwagon. OK, so he invents spacecraft & a car that can double as a floating device, literally, & is one of the top 3 richest people in the world?!? Notify me when to be starstruck. It kind of annoys, yet sometimes muses, me how the media is constantly publishing his stupid memes, his catalog of facial gestures. I’m still trying to understand his and Grimes’s dynamic. What is the really real!?!

With learning the stock market comes trial & error. There’s so much to learn. I remember a few years back when bitcoin was up & coming & ALLLLLLLLL I ever heard was, bitcoin this & bitcoin that. I was like, make it stop! Yeah, I should’ve paid more attention then. But, I’m here now! No, I don’t own any bitcoin, at the moment. SADLY. & things aren’t that hunky-dory with America & China right now & it’s reflecting in the stock market. Don’t get me started on DiDi. DiDi turned out to be a no-no! But that’s the stock market. It’s all a gamble. Just like life. & it changes every single moment. There’s a lot of crackdowns on cyber-security & hacking going on. Of course. & everything’s online right now, literally, so the iron is HOT! & with China being a communist country, they call their own shots, play by their rules. I mean, how can it be perceived right now? A good thing or a bad thing? Cracking down for all the right or wrong reasons?!? Let’s just hope for the better. I heart China. I can’t wait to return. I just wish they would clean up their act so we all can make a buck or two or tens of thousands & call it a day. It also makes me think, what about American companies?!?! Yes! I have interest in them, too, & I have thought, I should have more! America is going through it’s own version of a civil war, electronically and physically, but that’s America for you… The market, indeed, is very volatile right now. Did I get in at the right time? Do I know enough.

I’m not someone who is glued to their phone. Yes, sometimes I do surf & get lost. Yes, I sometimes stalk. & yes, I do leave home without my mobile sometimes. I know, shame on me. Remember those times ‘wireless free’?!?! Remember when wireless was an oxymoron?!? It actually annoys me of the people who, especially those who don’t pay attention where they’re walking &, walk right into you & don’t even walk fast. WTFQ?!?  The same goes for people who are constantly texting & driving. They deserve to crash, & they’re probably responsible for majority of the accidents out there.

So, if you see me on my mobile under the sunny-sun rockin’ Ray-Bans somewhere in the 90028 a little more than usual, no, it’s not because I’m refreshing my IG feed to thrive off the likes I did and didn’t get, no. I’m not pretending to be on my mobile so I don’t have to interact with you. If I don’t want to, I’ll just flat out ignore you and rather look bored or lost. No hard feelings. 😊 ½ the people I follow on IG are muted. I don’t need to see another version of people I don’t know or care for. Wasn’t IG started to share PHOTOGRAPHY works? That AIN’T photography work. Sorry not sorry. Me being on my phone will be, and is more than likely, me checking up on the stock market, because literally, it changes like every second. Sometimes multiple times in a second. If you thought social media is addictive, this is. & when it’s a hot-topic, OH! You’re watching your money. It also annoys me when people go on holiday & do nothing but constantly post. Did you go on holiday to vacate & relax & escape, or did you go to promote the place for whatever reason you feel is relevant to overrate your life & do nothing but post?!? Cue me the fun.

Am I going to be rich over night? No. But, at least I’ve started. & I am still young. Will all my stocks be winners? No. Insert trial & error part here! Maybe I should re-read, House of Mirth. That is one of my favourites. I’ve been meaning to buy it. We love our bull market. Yes. It’s bittersweet in a bear market. If you’re truly into a company, publicly, 😉, then you’ll invest into it at a bear’s market. But I’m not giving you financial advice! To bull or to bear.
