It’s Not That I’m Not Grateful…

But, really. The DMV has jumped the shark yet again. First it was a fairly specific and isolated behavior I took issue with, not that I didn’t appreciate the logic behind it. States like Florida and Arizona began lengthening the timeframes of their driver licenses. In most cases it was a move from somewhere in the ‘hood of 3 or 4 year terms and they extended it to 7 years. I get it. A lot of…

Decisions, Decisions…

I had everything planned out for the week. To a literal T. But you know the old saying: If you wanna make god laugh, make a plan. That’s all the god-talk you’re getting from me. I had my two-part “Having it all” post for mid week and weekend, sandwiching a fatness fitness post, and that was my writing week. But then I won tickets to a pre-concert private show from a local radio station and now…

I Can Have It All!

Part 1: Everything’s fine! I creep into every week with a simple goal – to have a day or several where I succeed in all three pillars of what I consider a “good day”. I want to make some money, exercise and write. That’s it. Nothing earth shattering. No outrageous goals like cure cancer before lunch. You may wonder how I struggle to accomplish this. Like, why is my weekly goal “a day or…

Influencers Behaving Badly

I know, what a shocker, right? Pretty people being petty or selfish? You can probably guess my feelings on the influencer phenomenon simply from the title. In case you need more, I actually think they have a potential function in society. Sadly, we seem to lack creative independence in this capitalist country, so when influencers worked in a few niche marketing outings, every corner of industry…

It’s My Anniversary

Of sorts. The Facebook reminded me of a personal milestone when I checked in this morning. Two years… I’m really conflicted about this. On the one hand, this life event was the culmination of leaving professional work in April of 2018 and giving myself time to indulge in my hobbies. Well, hobby: writing. More specifically, story telling. It turns out that my only other hobby turned out to be rage…

Don’t Call It A Recap...

Don’t Call It A Recap…

Especially when recrap would be a much better way to sum up 2020. And since it’s 2020 we’re talking about, I’m just going to talk about the last two months – really, the last month, outside of an early November mention. The whole year would run 20000 words, I’m sure. Truth be told, I’m just going to bitch about a few things that broke down and then express a little post-holiday gratitude. This…

How Much Ouch?

All of it.

All the ouch.

I’m a fat big enough person to admit when I’m wrong.

Doing reverse lunges yesterday was definitely a mistake. Where my ass would be if I had one definitely hurts today.

As a fatter of mact – er – matter of fact, my abs aren’t minding their business today, either. But I’m taking the immediate onset of muscle soreness following yesterday’s mini home workout versus the…

Fitfy 49:45

Well, it’s getting on to tic-toc time, eh? The last 7 weeks of this journey toward my big 5-oh. It’s been interesting.  I started out convincing myself that I was doing similar things but with a different mindset I called intent. Yeah, that was bullshit. I was doing the same things and expecting a different outcome because I was being honest with myself about my actions. Turns out, motivation is…
