Mini-Retirements and Mini-Relationships
Mini-Retirements and Mini-Relationships
Bogotá, Colombia –
Tim Ferriss introduced the concept of Mini-Retirements in his New York Times Bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek, Expanded and Updated: Expanded and Updated, With Over 100 New Pages of Cutting-Edge Content.
For those that haven’t read the book yet, a Mini-Retirement is essentially:
• A sabbatical is a one-time event. Mini-retirements are meant to recur throughout a lifetime.
• A vacation is short, and often involves a tourist lifestyle with little immersion in a new way of life. A mini-retirement is long (one to six months), and allows one to fully participate in his new environment.
Over here at The G Manifesto, I have been working on a new concept for The International Playboy set: The Mini-Relationship
A Mini-Relationship is essentially:
• A marriage is a one-time event. Mini-Relationships are meant to recur over and over again throughout a lifetime.
• A traditional relationship is long, and often involves a lot of pain, suffering and is all around weesh. A Mini-Relationship is short (one week to one month), and allows one to fully immerse himself in the dopest aspects of the relationship without the downside.
Historically speaking, I have usually hit up a new city and gone on a rampage, swooping mass amounts of fly girls.
Lately, however, I have been meeting such a high-quality of girl that it has been worth having Mini-Relationships with them.
This has allowed me to work on my Language Skills, and really immerse myself in the cultures of the countries I have been visiting. Mini-Relationships have also allowed me to enjoy the pleasure of having fly girls cook up excellent examples of the comida of their home countries. G’s have to eat after all.
And there is no downside to Mini-Relationships. Since they are short, the grinding, mundane aspects of traditional relationships never set in like a storm cloud over a dope tropical beach con olas perfectas.
Give Mini-Relationships a shot (so to speak).
In horse racing news:
Rachel Alexandra bred to Curlin
Jackson bred Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra to two-time Horse of the Year and stablemate Curlin on Monday, creating the potential for the “super horse” Jackson believes could help revitalize the industry.
The two horses met in a breeding shed at Lane’s End Farm, near Versailles, Ky., on Monday. While the results won’t be known for some time, Jackson has planned on getting two of racing’s biggest names together since he purchased Rachel Alexandra days after her record-setting run in the 2009 Kentucky Oaks.
“We have been anticipating this introduction for some time now,” Jackson said. “Imagine what possibilities those two super horses might produce.”
“Rachel Alexandra and Curlin are true champions,” she said. “Both horses embody that intangible equine ideal that separate mere horse from legend. Both Jess and I are so pleased that these powerful bloodlines will pass to future generations.”
The Rest is Up to You…

i love this, michael! not that it looks like you’re slipping – please. but that you admit that longterm relationships involve a lot of pain and challenges. that’s the first step baby! recognition. i commend you. you missed the counterpart to that piece – that the work put in is returned a thousand fold. the incredible intimacy you experience in a relationship is so much more satisfying than the game. the ego constantly has to be fed. i highly doubt, however, that you could reach true depths in a relationship within a span of a month or two. unless they’re high school type relationships. which… is your prerogative. the rest is up to you!
