Few weeks ago I decided to delete my Facebook as I was starting to feel distracted with notifications and engaging in pointless never-ending discussions. I watched few TED talks about the impact on social media on our lives, which really convinced me to nuke my account for good. Before doing so, I downloaded my data in an archive. It might sound silly but I have created an Instagram account for the first time. The main reason is that I want to use it to follow bodybuilding, which has become one of my main hobbies as it required extreme disciple, dedication and hard-work. None of this is easy and that's why I do it, to be better than I was yesterday and to keep pushing my own frontiers. I did not update anyone that I was going to leave Facebook so if you want to stay in touch, please find me on Instagram as @martinpeniak.
I have not posted here a while but from now on I am determined to use this page more frequently and as the main source for my updates. As my first post, I'd like to share how I've transformed my physique over the period of the last two years. My future posts will probably be either about my research and innovation at Cortexica or bodybuilding. I have recently moved to Spain where I want to settle down. This means that I will eventually buy a decent telescope again as I plan to get back to astrophotography take it to the next level.
