S2 E48: giving thanks

 I keep running into the same situation when i don’t get posts out on Wednesday, the doldrums of the current week start washing out the doldrums of last week to the point that i simply can’t remember shit to talk about. Luckily for this week it was thanksgiving. Certainly not my worst thanksgiving, that one was reminiscent of the seven fishes flashback in the Bear. I won’t get into details.

This week was a lot of normal stuff: working and lifting and rolling. Not too much BJJ cuz of the holidays but we’ve already rectified that issue this week. Actual thanksgiving was just Stranger Things, family FaceTimes, and ground turkey. Can not complain, it was much more neutral than anything.

Cool news time: put on a couple of pounds of muscle and dropped PBF to like 21%…I’ve been chasing sub-18 for years and this is the most serious I’ve ever really been about  the grind. Results are cool. Once again, the kid that spent years picking on himself so that the bullies couldn’t do it is now rounding a corner on just how impressed I’m allowed to be of myself. Seriously guys, be your biggest fans. In a fanatic sense too. Get fucking violent when anyone attacks your idol (ya know how swifties draw blood when folks besmirch their girl? Like that, but your girl is you). Turns out, not everyone on this planet is trying to get you.

Fuck…December huh? Crazy. Hey thanks for being here in whatever capacity you are here. I know a lot of yall are just kinda here for support, others because i don’t call you enough, and even more of you adhd kids just refuse to stop chronicles you started. To some extent that’s why this blog lives on. The last couple of years have been hard as fuck, but made all the more possible by my friends and family. Yall are cool. 😎

S2 Bonus: ACL recovery

Image
It’s funny how this whole blog project started as an accountability thread for getting back in shape, which then mutated into a weekly log of my mental health recovery journey. Ups, downs, victories, and set backs run through this last year and a half and it leads to the understanding i can withstand just about anything. Then i tore my ACL. Now im stuck on the couch and my house will be a revolving door of family and friends helping me out over the next few weeks. All of that said, the first couple of days are gonna be intriguing to say the least so i figured I’d start this thread as a day by day check-in. It won’t be separate posts for each day, just additions to this entry so check back! Day 0: surgery and hell I was up at 4 for a 5:30am check-in time. Put on my cleanest cut-off shorts and lifting shirt and was ready to fuck this thing. I only really started panicking once they made me change and hooked me up to all the shit…but by then it’s like when they lock the rollercoaster bar ...

S2 E21: the end and beginning

Image
 Welp, it happened. Whole ass officially happened. Last Friday I took my uniform off for the the last time, snagged some stickers and a flag on the way out, and medically retired from the United States Army. Yeah, the target since fall semester of 2009 and the job that has defined my identity has all come to an end. Lemme pull this side thread for a minute because tackling how I’m feeling in its entirety is seemingly impossible right now. So Friday i pierced my nose, rather I went to my tattoo shop and paid a professional to stab me in the nostril and fill the hole with a cute little shiny stud. Coming from a blood line with already big noses, the swelling I’ve had since Friday makes me feel like inoki from Shippuden which is just excessive. Can’t wait for the next six months to fly by so i can swap out the stud for a ring but in the meantime its all saline solution and not laying on my face. It’s hard to put into words how im feeling. On the one hand this event has been on the hor...

S2 E52: Respite

 Damn, alright folks shake it out and off and away. What a fuckin year huh? Sorry it’s been a few weeks, it’s been pretty rough and tumble the back half of December to cap off an already chaotic year. Let’s get in to it. So the last entry dropped a week out from NYE. Christmas Eve i worked with my buddy then went home and spent some quality time with the dogs. Christmas Day was spent being disappointed in stranger things volume 2 and playing Xbox all day. The last week was just slugging through it at work before taking off for NYE in Ohio. Nothing much to talk about, just lifting and rolling and eating. After i realized i was doing the inbody scan every other day and letting the numbers hurt my feelings, i stopped fucking doing that 🤣. Be real with yourself about expectations and realities kids. The conundrum of my diet persists and so do I. Ohio was awesome, as always. We hit the Cinci zoo for the lights festival (Kyle, Kris, an absolute pleasure as always). Gotta pay respects to...
