2-For-1

Now that I have Windows 10 installed on the laptop, I can not leave well enough alone. I have installed and am running Linux 15 inside another virtual machine. Running smoothly. Two machines inside one. Brilliant!

DVD

It was eight years ago today that everything changed. You are the one and only lady to have me totally wrapped around her finger. Daphne, you are intelligent, very friendly, sporty, generous and gorgeous. 

You make me proud, Daphne. I love you.

Just Like That

I am obese. 

The realization came slow but steady all week. 

Needed some shirts for work but my size Large was revealing a bit too much belly. Bought them anyway.

A co-worker mentioned I’ve gained weight as he tapped the belly with the back of his hand.

I weighed myself just now at 194, the highest I’ve ever been.

Online BMI calculator suggests I am obese. 

Damn.

Sure Of It

“I’m not sure what I’ll do, but, I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale.”

– F. Scott Fitzgerald

Something Good

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

Anthony Bourdain

Win-Dohs!

The last Microsoft Windows 10 Preview build has made my laptop almost useless. The public release was today and still unable to download due to memory issues with the beta program. 

It’s slowing me down. Grr.

Root of All Evil

Endodontist really tore me up today when doing a root canal. Five anesthetic needles to numb me and I am in a lot of pain half a day later. Ibuprofen only? What a quack. Grr.

Dad Bod

I physically work and sweat outside daily and somehow still acquired what is now lovingly called the “dad bod”. A trend that describes working out infrequently and still eating/drinking whatever I want.

While I am against body shaming and all for body acceptance, I reject accepting this in my life and on my body. 

Being a single man working long hours, I have many excuses for pulling into a fast food joint such as “Why cook for one?” “I don’t have the energy after working outdoors all day.”

Enough already. 

More lean meats. Less red meats heated up and served into my car.

More strength and cardio training. Less thinking about it.
