Heyo, I'm Osco!

the surface area of luck


Yeah, I'm leaving here

Right now

And this world is screaming out

So far from here (Woah, woah oh)

No, I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'm gone

A while ago I came across an interesting tweet

sam altman and the surface area of luck

when i stayed in SF for about 2 months this year, this couldn't have been more true - the entire city was OVERFLOWING with unrealistic dreamers who couldn't wait to invent tomorrow, today

even though i kept the majority of my stay at founder's inc in fort marina, the amount of new opportunities i got just from chatting with people was astounding

("i'm going to make you a millionaire!" was definitely offered to me more than once LOL)

it got me to thinking about the person i'm aspiring to be, and if i can achieve that still living at home with my parents in the northern virginian suburbs

deciding to eventually leave, i teased the idea of living in el salvador for three reasons

  • incredibly cheap living
  • access to more natural foods (say goodbye to that weird plastic processed taste)
  • developing native-level spanish speaking fluency

and even though i STILL want to do those things, i decided to delay that choice until i stay in SF for a while because i feel like my surface area of luck will increase with my time spent there

what do i need that luck for?

i've always dreamed of making a lifestyle software business - basically software that helps improve the lives of normal people doing normal things, like dancing!

(as opposed to God's highest calling for His strongest soldiers, b2b saas)

in terms of the three places i could live in - northern virginia, el salvador, and SF

the choice is obvious, no?

i'm recently turned 30 and have reached the 1-year mark of quitting my corporate job

i'm in the lucky situation that i have no debts, no insane health issues, and no family that's depending on me to survive

this may be my only shot to make this work, and i don't want to tell my kids in the future that i decided to stay at home because i was scared and uncertain

with all that being said, here is the final message -

i'll cya in sf ✌️
