v. 45

by

It’s my 45th birthday. Version 44 was a shitty iteration and 2017 was a shitty year. Time to upgrade.

175

That
is my target weight goal. Eat lean and train mean. I don’t simply want
to eat right and lose weight. I want nutrition and fitness. I shot up to
200 this year and back down to 190. Fifteen pounds is very doable once I
stop eating out and drinking less soda. More trail running, weights,
yoga and meditation will help get lean and reduce health risks.

Alcohol

Speaking
of drinks, I am imposing my own prohibition. I dont get drunk and I am
not a cheap date. Version 44 has seen me consume a lot of beer, bourbon,
scotch and whiskey. I feel it and it shows. Never say never though,
because I am building a new photography group around this subject as
well as hashing.

Create > Consume

I’ve been stagnant in
generating anything of value to myself or anyone else recently.
Circumstances, distractions and lack of inspiration has caused that. No
more.

I want to write more, interact with people again and
develop something from nothing with my two hands and brain. Instead of
cranking out a novel that may or may not get written, I may try short
stories instead.

On the consumption side I want to stay inspired
with my average of fifty books to read as well as various websites.
Inspiration and mood boards as well.

Version 44 was a shitty iteration and 2017 was a shitty year. I am ready for the growth.

Here’s my brand new website for a brand new life. I am re-thinking everything and doing it for me this time. You’re welcome to join me on this misadventure.

Warning: website will include vague references, fuckery, drunk realizations, epic statements, sober realizations, shenanigans and maybe even my top secret gorp recipe. I dunno.

Micro Adventure

by

I just rang in the longest day of the year by hiking up and camping on a mountain west of and overlooking the city.

No tent, no fire, just me, the sleeping bag and a few essentials under a pine tree.

Bonus: it was international hike naked day.

I need more of these micro adventures to recharge my body and soul.

Why Though?

by

Why do I post consistently on someone else’s platform and not my own?

Yes, it is more social compared to the silence of my own thoughts.

Same goes for Instagram. I have my own photo website, why IG?

That’s it. I just answered my own question. This is for me and for introspection.

I close my eyes, but I can’t fall asleep, my body dying for rest while my mind’s wide awake

Well-Read

by

“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door…Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?” – Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

So I’ve decided to chip away at my F#$k It list by tackling the easiest ones first. Small victories and all that. I haven’t found any book clubs nearby that didn’t include Oprah-reading women’s only groups but the search continues. I grabbed three classics including Fahrenheit 451, A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.
