I also wondered how he'd eat and talk and sleep. I didn't understand what it had to do with startups and hurricanes.
It took a while until I realized that that's not what "wearing a disco ball" means in NY.
I meant to say "Disco ball necklace". I helped at a 70s themed charity event and ended up taking some home the weekend before the hurricane.
In the first picture you can see it, but here is a picture of a box of them.

Related: do people "wear disco balls" like that where you are from?!
That kind of works actually. I'll see if I can get it to stick, haha.
The disco ball is fitting, I think. You should keep wearing it.
I can understand how it might look if you don't know me and there's probably a lot of people who thought the same thing.
Looking back, it was just a coping method. In the same way that I make lame jokes when I feel nervous, this was just a reaction to the idea that my life just got flipped upside down.
And I totally posted it directly to instagram. Spade is a spade, I guess.
I see what you're saying though. Thanks for checking it out anyway.

It was a good trade off between being close enough to the "scene" and far enough away where it was cheap enough.
Cool story anyway.
Thanks for checking it out.
When I finally decided I was being an idiot, I started to focus on finding a job. It was way harder than I thought it would be (there is a theme of being arrogant here - another post another day).
I'm now working at a startup as a software + product guy. Learning from some really smart people and loving it so far. In lots of ways, the storm was the best thing to happen to me.
I can only say that because I really have a lot of great people around me. It made me appreciate all the opportunities I've been given and can sympathize more with people who haven't had the same support.
Thanks for checking out the post.
I was hoping for a story about how you found investments in your own startup.
Are you gay? Inquiring minds want to know.
(Thought I'd take the opportunity to make a lame joke.)
