Oh shit
It is 12:07 AM
On February 1
In the middle of the most beautiful snowstorm, I think weāve ever seen $
Knock on wood
it has been a wonderful aesthetic so far it has not turned deadly
Hope it stays that way $
I just smashed 1000 cal of graham crackers
With about 250 ground beef in the mix
donāt ask me why - thatās just how it happened $
Iām actually about to go to second sleep so hopefully be up for second shift by two or 3 AM with a fresh pallet $
But if I end up sleeping in later, thatās totally cool too $
My furnace is technically working
But itās already so cold inside (and out) itās gonna be playing catch-up for a while $
It is apparently like 15° or something like that $
So a space heater is only gonna do so much $
It is now 3:51 AM and Iām getting up $
I think the storm is finally done storming
After everything is now completely frozen over lol $
Anyhow, I think weāre gonna try to party for about an hour and then go back to bed $
Anyone smart enough to play with puppets can recognize someone elseās technique if you know what Iām saying $$*
Acute situations donāt have anything on chronic situationās $$$
Proving that time is the hardest variable of everything $$$
Proving that time and isolation are the two hardest things in known existence
Hands-down, hard stop š $$$
Cause theoretically thereās a way to drug yourself to escape out of physical pain (addiction/alcoholism)
But there is no way to adequately recover from emotional injury without addressing the causes and conditions $$
Anything thatās relating to causes and conditions- is a game of time $$$
Everything is really just time management $$
Or speed in interval management $$
My tolerance is actually developing a reverse
Which is simple evidence that I am recovering faster than I am working if that makes sense $
Like I probably done no more than a milligram of the seven and it is the equivalent to double or triple that (as of recent)
Drugs will teach you just how stupid violence is for pleasure
When you can just slowly bio hack your way into feeling like a God $$$*
For 3.3 years, my job was to tell people how to say shit to other people to convince them to do shit
So I know when some shit is scripted and when somebody is joking around behind the scenes $$$
My home might be a prison, but itās like the exact opposite of a federal prison at least lol $$*
Itās more like I had to do a five-year sentence for being a fuck boy
But I got credit for all my good deeds and good credit lol $$
Good morning world
It is 9:44 AM and we are climbing out of bed
We woke up to some bittersweet news,
News that functions most likely as a kick in the ass if Iām being honest $
But also
I actually feel good bit of reliefā¦
Itās kind of sad because itās the kind of relief you get when you no longer have to spend time around a person $
I was hoping this person wouldnāt fall into the wrong person category, but it looks like it may simply be that $
But if this person falls into that category, then in a weird way, just reinforces the impact of what I am doing because of how hard it really is $
And also, if I donāt have to spend the time lecturing somebody who isnāt really listening anyway, and thatās in everybodyās best interest $
So weāre gonna go ahead and get ready for this amazing snow day. It is beautiful. $
It also would appear that DoorDash is shut down
The first time Iāve seen it actually turn off
But hey, thatās OK $
10:29 AM and itās time to brave the outside world $
It is 11:10 AM time to do some reading
Ive got to synchronize the caffeine buzz with the Kratom buzz $
I think one of the lowest hanging hack fruits out there is to give yourself as many small trophies as possible, as evidence of your actions
When I was a sales agent, the one thing that motivated me more than anything was just winning these small stupid flags for getting an upsell
And then because it was visible trophy, just motivated me more and more like a runaway train or a snowball $
So for reading, I try to underline as much as I possibly can
And star as much as I can
And then when I look back, I give myself rewards
intellectually speaking $
Friendly reminder that the drugs of choice by most prisoners are nicotine and caffeine $$*
Iām thinking more and more about nicotineā¦
I think that was my secret weapon when I was in the program if Iām being honest, because if I was chain smoking,
I could go on and on and on and on $$
Just thinking about how most things we do are backwards & the simplest solution is simply flipping the paradigm $$
Such as pain being a bad thing $$
such as hoarding being a constructive thing $$
You donāt need to be the smartest
Just smart enough to figure out if someoneās smarter than you and act accordingly $$*
It is 2:51 PM
We are watching Mindhunter
We are already on episode two
I gotta admit that I hated it the first time
I tried to watch it, probably four or five years ago I think
I feel like I was still in that bachelor apartment so that wouldāve been at least 2020
Six years then,,
But I thought it was OK but just too slow
Now I think itās phenomenal so far $
Iāve been going back-and-forth between that and reading
And spying on the owl and the deer in my backyard
Theyāre both sleeping it seems $
There are three big ass does
No wait, 4 $
This is so cool man
Just wait until I get a really nice camera
I promise you Iām gonna have the best pictures ever $
I will update the record and admit that I have finished all of my graham crackers so I hope the grocery store opens tomorrow lol $
It does look like DoorDash is offering six dollars extra an order⦠$
That is pretty crazy
I need to consider it $
Any true sales agent needs to make sure that their customer feels comfortable admitting their wrong so that way they feel comfortable moving forward,
So if youre confrontational, theyāre not gonna wanna make it a deal because theyāre gonna be too concerned with being right $$*
If there is one thing Iāve learned this year it is when Iām being gaslit
Or whenever that motherfucking light comes on $$
Thatās a broken premise that Iām gonna clean up later lol $
If shit has gotten old to the point where you wanna kill yourself because itās so boring then you probably have mastered more than you give yourself credit for lol $$
If you really want to learn something, then you need to spend at least half the time learning the mistakes
And I promise you that will serve you better long-term than anything else $$
Note worthy how my furnace is cutting on one minute after sunset⦠$
Like a true gangster if it stays on ⦠$
Having one of those really deep, profound deep reflection moments
Basically, the opposite of what I felt that one day over the summer before they fired me at redventures
It is a peace
And acceptance
Feels like a weight is being lifted
I canāt really articulate exactly the cause, but it comes down to accepting the fact that I have officially cleaned up my karmic Street $
When I say that I feel it
Iām not really thinking
Itās just some kind of relaxation that is washing over me
It is anti-ADHD $
And again pulls into question pretty much everything that Iāve been through my whole life
But yet it actually answers that question, $
I mean, I really do think everything comes back down to a test of what do you do when you lose it all
Thatās the ultimate test
I mean by definition you canāt properly and ethically test anything else $
You can teach somebody all kinds of different lessons through all kinds of different pain of course $$
But that defeats the entire purpose if that person is too distracted by trying to recover from something that is outside the realms of what youāre testing $$
So the true test of a good man is having one with as much potential for good as bad,
You must give a man many different gifts and see what he does with them,
But you also must take them away and see what he does then $$
I mean, if you just assume for the scientific fact that reincarnation is real,
Then anybody that wants to create a violent drug empire right now is the ultimate fool $$$
Because literally they will eventually die and come back and they will be on the outside of their empire, and they will have to experience all the shit that they caused for themselves $$$*
Meanwhile, if you just assumed that youāll be back and that youāre building towards that
Then youāll constantly keep improving your position in a way that is impossible to go backwards without deliberately throwing it all away $$
So if you can build an institution that serves everybody else then eventually itās gonna come back around and serve you too $$
And youāre gonna experience the consequences of it one way or another $$
It is 6:56 PM in time for first sleep $
It is 10:02 PM and Iām getting up
And I kind of fucked up and left my contacts in as I forgot I was even wearing them
But thatās an easy fix $
My furnace is being bipolar, lol $
The worst thing you can do for somebody is to take away the meaning behind their pain, not take away their pain $$$*
Weāre watching ātrain dreamsā $
I feel like some people were designed to go with the flow while others were designed to use the friction of swimming up stream to get fucking jacked $$*
Just took my socks off for the first time in like 36 hours
maybe even longer honestly $
It is 11:36 PM
We are bouncing around at the movies, but weāre back on the Lyle and Eric Menendez story
Weāre almost done with it and this is our second go around
What is an excellent example of Fuckery $
I think if you stay in a fucked up position longer than three years, then youāre probably enabling something $$*
I do think that, even if you do everything perfect, it takes at least three years to master something $$
And shit starts getting extra weird and synchronistic when you start digging into what those Bible boys are saying $$
In other news, I have now invented an even cooler snuggie technique, so where I can wear this thing as essentially a sweater $
And then I can remove a pen and then obviously turns into a cape $
I mean, I donāt know what else to do to become a modern day superhero at this point $
Iām literally eating gas station poison and talking about prayers $$
Iām watching a documentary series about young men snapping and murdering their parents
While actively trying to process and accept my own trauma with love and forgiveness $$
It is 11:45 PM on a Sunday on the first day of the second month of the 26th year of the 2000 millennium
Or something like that $
āYes itās my company, but itās still a great investmentā $
Unfortunately, that is something that Iām going to have to say quite often with my programming lol $
Yāall already know how I feel about mixed motives $$$$$$$
When in doubt- get it all out $$*
You can say a lot of things about the city of Charlotte, but it is actually a really good place to get work done
Itās kind of the only thing we had to do or were able to focus on for a long time,
With the mountains & the beach just slightly inconvenient enough of a drive to justify moving here but easy to justify putting off that day trip- that one you keep telling yourself if youāre gonna take $
And while I havenāt gone anywhere in a while
Or on one of my famous Day trips that I was doing a lot of two years ago,
Iām extremely grateful to my previous self for doing that silly shit and going jeep camping and random cities and rest stops $
I didnāt do all that much, but I gotta give myself some credit I guess $
Good morning world $
It is 12:03 AM $
Coming in spicy
Just thinking about that, if weāre being honest with ourselves, the true measure of fitness intellect is relative strength and lean muscle mass to fat mass $$
Anybody can get pretty jacked within 12 months,
But not everybodyās gonna be able to hold lean body composition and relative strength to their own body weight for 12 years $$
Canāt forget how itās motherfucking Groundhog Day $
One of them easy to overlook days
But it carries a lot of weight $$
BRB, Iām gonna go look up the backstory of it really quick $
Well, apparently itās dates back to some old ancient dramatic tradition
Most people are familiar that if the groundhog sees it shadow, it means six more weeks of winter
And if it doesnāt see a shadow, then spring will come early $
Which is just saying that if the weather is shit on February 2, then thatās a good thing $
But actually, thereās no real āevidenceā to support this, but part of me is inclined to lean with tradition on this one
Although he almost always predicts a harsh winter,
which kind of seems like a safe bet $
I need to note for the record that I ate a pretty big gain bowl just before the turn of the day
Or the great reset
But Iām still pretty hungry $
But itās not the real hunger
It is cracker cravings $$
Unfortunately, the furnace has decided to bail on our trio of heat, which is kind of sad because it was getting a little toasty there $
It is probably about 15° outside so kind of a big deal $
I laugh because Iām having so much fun but this is actually called an historic snowfall apparently
It is definitely the second biggest Iāve ever seen.$
I wonāt lie. I am craving some crackers pretty intense. Iām just making a note of this because I actually donāt think Iām gaining as much bad as I thought
thatās the magic of water but even if I am, Iām not gaining as much so Iām gonna continue listening to my hunger signals. $
I do believe my hunger will go away in a few minutes once my last meal starts digesting
But if I had some crackers, I could probably eat them. Guilt free $
By definition, the only thing that is hard is going against your desires $$
If you can align your desires with the flow of life and the right circumstances
Then you will never struggle $$$
Happy 1:01 AM
It is almost time to go back to bed $
Iām fighting off these cravings while I wait on my gain bowl to kick in $
Iām pretty antsy and restless
Classic ADHD shit
Iāve got my special kettlebell with my towel grip and Iām alternating doing some holds and some grip squeezes while watching this documentary drama series
While waiting on part three of the buzz $
Iām very proud of myself for making those 3 of the 7 tablets last over 72 hours
And I still have a quarter left
Which is two servings $
And I still have a good bit of the Kratom caps left
And I got that all at the same time too so Iāve cut that usage down by half at at least without really trying
And definitely without suffering
Zero withdrawals and all that
Also same with the cannabis $
This is easy to overlook, but this is really why I even started writing all these notes to begin with
When done right and when Iām training properly and everything is balanced, then I can naturally avoid any unnecessary cravings and emotional dips
And also when Iām avoiding the wrong people $$
That last part has been the hardest pill to swallow
if you know what Iām saying $
Iām very excited to get back to work
And it seems like I might finally have a good routine rhythm outlined $
All right, it is 4:56 AM and we are getting to work $
You know itās cold when everything you touch is borderline painful lol $$
Itās 16°
Iāve got the two space heaters going now
And the furnace is intermittently cutting on and off just enough to keep my closet from freezing I think $
Weāre gonna listen to the Whyfiles while we get to work $
I was right in Planet Fitness is scared and closed
Iām hoping theyāre just doing a delayed start
But I wonāt know that for at least another hour
So it is time to do some mental mobility
And put on a podcast & idle meditation thing $
It is 8:35 AM
Planet Fitness is still currently closed which is pretty lame $
I think weāll give it another 30 minutes or so before we start making plans for an at home push day $
It is 15° but beautiful $
It is now 8:44 AM and Iām doing my son walk but with less resistance
Kind of $
Well, Planet Fitness looks like they want to be planet Gaylord so theyāre gonna stay closed for now I guess
Then Iām gonna try to do an in-home workout without being complete sourpuss $
Guess this is why God made caffeine
Or I guess God made man and man-made caffeine $
With muscle focus training itās almost better to do something you donāt want to do
Your results will likely be better because it means youāre choosing something thatās probably gonna change you $$*
With movement, focus training it is usually the opposite
You usually want to begin with something that you look forward to doing so you can get into some kind of flow estate ASAP $$*
Muscle is more building
Movement is more burning $$*
Call of duty taught me that one asshole whoās quick with a sniper rifle is way more dangerous than a whole squad of those with a light machine guns
*kill shot by Eminem $$*
Skateboarding taught me how every trick is a loop in end of itself
And when you go to practice a trick, you start stationary and then have to get a rolling start then hopefully land the trick to complete rolling forward
I guess my point though is that each and every time you have to start the loop somewhere
And usually when you start, itās pretty far away from whatever trick youāre trying to hit $$
Ima say this again
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE GOOD SONG IN GOOD HEADPHONES $$
Remembering the first chest day at golds gym after Covid and I repped 225 like it wasnāt shit
After not touching a BB for god knows how long $$
Tis 10:20 and time for 2nd sun/ cool down walk $
If it takes your breath away, then itās probably gonna cause some shit to change $$*
Itās 25° outside, but I swear to God if itās a 50 $
It is 11:43 AM
We have done some motivational mobility work & a quick run to the store to get some crackers
and maybe try to do a dash or two and it looks like Planet Fitness is open again after all, which is fantastic so probably try to aim to do chest in the evening after all, which is a very exciting thought $
Weāre leaving the Food Lion now after a very suspicious grocery store trip
Itās like the supply is really low
So I got a bunch of extra stuff just in case $
Looks like theyāre calling for more on Wednesday. I havent investigated that yet though. $
But AnyWho, weāre gonna do this fuel up and get ready to go to the gym and maybe dash or something $
So I got one thing a double stuffed Oreos & one box of graham crackers
1 pound of bacon
3.3 pounds of ground beef 7327
3 pounds of wild blueberries
And six rolls of paper towels
Theyāre supposed to be the good kind
Surprisingly, they were out of all eggs
So Iām going to Aldiās after the gym I think
Maybe before cuz itās so cold I can just leave the shit in the car
That way I get in there early $
Grocery shopping after you after the gym is itās own mobility exercise $$*
Iāve been home for about 3 1/2 minutes and Iāve already eaten one sleeve of cookies
Obviously, it was my first choice once arriving home
My bet is that they will be the fastest to digest
And highest calorie density $
I would DoorDash, but they literally have the roads shut down headed towards the shopping center
As of 12 oāclock when I went to go to the grocery store
So it kind of looks like Iām being boxed in $
Oh yeah, all in all the groceries were about 50 bucks $
Leaving planet & the candy store now and grocery store part two
We got 24 pack of waters, hot sauce and three different caffeine squirts
And then we got 100 g some super green leaf
And another three count of the 10 mg $
Mostly because the actual candy store was closed so I went to the Darkside
So good news is I was able to get a pretty good chest workout in with only one shot of caffeine
Pretty big deal actually $
Iām gonna go back and try to get as much work done as I can and see what happens $
It is 5:13 PM $
Iām just thinking about different lifelines of work that Iāve walked
There was one point in time where I wouldāve been on the clock for maybe an hour by now,
There was a point in time to where I would be probably heading to work at the moment,
There was a point in time in which I wouldāve been on the clock for 15 or seven minutes,
There was a time where I wouldāve been on the clock for 8 1/2 hours by this point,
Actually, thereās a few different jobs that wouldāve applied,
There were a couple to where this would be the beginning of some rush,
Usually lasting 2 hours but was basically a daily thing (real estate/ dinner)
Then there was a time to where I would be on my second shift and technically 12 hours into the day,
Very crazy how much Iāve said and done,
I bounced around and lived so many different lifetimes in such a short amount of time it feels like
Iām so grateful and while the stress nearly got me and every time in itās own unique way
That is one hell of a rƩsumƩ tho
There is not an hour of the day that I have not been on the clock somehow
There is not one type of job that I have not done in some sense
( if youāre gonna be reasonably creative with the movement TQ criteria) $
There are only so many different movements out there, but there are infinite different types of techniques
But once you got the core movements down and about five different techniques in your back pocket;
It becomes laughably easy to learn new ones $$
It becomes so easy you donāt even realize youāre doing it $$*
And then your biggest problem is once again getting out of your own way and a whole new way
Good luck wearing that circle $$
So Iām trying to get my mind into work mode
My goal is very simple today
One simple task
But a very intentional thoughtful one at that
Today has been weird because the snow & the routine & the carbs
& near mid afternoon crash
But luckily, those Food Lion brand generic double stuffed artificially flavored Oreos have functioned as 2000 cal of rocket fuel to put me back in the game $
Iām really trying to refrain from the caffeine
And I should be able to with the just a good moderate Kratom buzz $
Just thought about the gym actually being open tomorrow on time and that is a very exciting thought
I hope I didnāt just jinx it lol
Knock on wood šŖµ $
I also want to note that I think my buzz is kicking in now
But Iāve only taken two capsules throughout the entire day
And while I havenāt enjoyed the benefit of the buzz,
I havenāt really thought about it,
And I havenāt had any withdrawals,
And i still have 13 capsules left $
I picked up more of the seven tablets because I really think Iām gonna focus on micro dosing those even more
It worked well over the summer,
But itās working even better now that Iām in better shape and more sensitive $$
And in an ironic twist
If Iām doing maybe 1 mg of the seven hydroxy, that actually nets less than if I was to take a normal heavy dose of capsules $$
& sure the plants give you extra alkaloids and itās much more balanced than all of that jazz,
And I do fully emphasize the benefit of having the full spectrum of all of that, $$
But I actually have gotten to the point of where I want such a light buzz,
Itās almost easier and cleaner because Iām avoiding all of the digestion time and constipation side effects $$
Even though Iāve never really been constipated - constipated
Itās more like it turns your poops into rabbit poops š©
Little tiny things lol
Mostly because it basically slows down your digestion and causes your colon to squeeze a bit
So itās like a little compressed lol $$
I just ate a bunch of cookies and like I said, the buzz was kicking in
But whatās crazy is how my hands are starting to burn in the warming sense $
They were just getting pretty crispy cold
But the rest of those cookies have resulted in a surge of energy
And I can literally feel them warming themselves up as if I just walked in out of the cold $
And I literally have just been pacing in my own living room $$
We did it
It is 5:41 PM and we finished another long chapter
So thatās pretty cool $
It is time to wind down
So I am going to increase the Kratom buzz $
Just ate 3/4 of a pound of ground beef
The 8020
I probably couldāve eaten the whole pound
But I donāt really need to,
and if I save the last bit, thatāll go great in another gain bowl probably in the middle of the night or tomorrow $
I got some berries too, so Iām super excited for dessert here in a bit $
Notice how I didnāt need any carbs, lolā¦
At least for now $
Iām totally gonna smash the cinnamon crackers in the middle of the night before back day in the morning $$
Iām so fucking excited it is hard to contain myself $
It is 6:59 PM
We are winding down after a little bit of work
We are officially at the part of the process to where we are burning
Or we care more about accuracy and precision & less about volume $
So I am now basically restarting my marketing approach
Hopefully to exponentially increase soon $
Iāve already eaten 1/3 of the crackers
I feel so warm. I am very suspicious. $
I mean, I swear, if you wiped my memory, I would think this is room temperature
Besides the five layers, Iām wearing ofc $
But even everything I touch doesnāt feel as cold
My hands in my face I think are generating heat faster than they are losing it $$
Doing daily 10 steps get you pretty good at owning your shit $$*
And if thereās one superpower worth having, it is the ability to own your shit without being petty or passive aggressive about it $$*
Sucks at first, but it doesnāt take long before the lesson is compounded into some pretty profound shit $$*
And then soon youāve got problems and areas that you didnāt even used to have areas $$*
They called those problems of privilege $$*
Lol good morning world
It is 10:25 PM and we were getting up for first shift the movies $
It is now 11:12 PM and I am watching Vikings
And upgrading the buzz so slightly
Iām probably gonna have to finish that box of crackers by the morning session whenever that arrives
Iām just trying to navigate it digestion wise $
Cause that near pound of ground beef kind of complicates things lol
But then again, that is when these berries are usually their best $
I feel the need to emphasize how amazing wild blueberries are for a few moments
Just about any grocery store,
you can get 3 pounds of them for about $12
And theyāre better than any candy you can get
By the frozen dessert section or by the other frozen fruit $$*
Which sidenote frozen fruit is the shit if you have somehow havenāt discovered it yet $$$
But wild blueberries are especially really good for you
Good fiber, good vitamins all that
But be careful if you eat them in the cold because it will cool you down from the inside real quick lol $$
But they help a lot by keeping the system & the gain train moving
I actually prefer to eat them out of a glass with a spoon
It helps to keep me honest because I can get carried away if you give me a big bowl $
Also noting kind of a weird itchiness in my right forearm
Itās gentle and light, but note worthy
If it gets crazy intense, Iāll be suspicious, but I think I might just be pretty dry skin $
Pretty amazing how well my skin does naturally in the cold dry air. $
another benefit of the notepad-
I get to catch myself on my bullshit much faster $$
It is now 11:40 PM and Iām gonna do some more reading. I caught myself talking myself out of it at first saying things like I donāt need to do with this no point I could just say keep watching Vikings or Iām gonna go to sleep soon anyway, but then I realized that every bit of reading that I do makes every bit of TV watching better so thatās why Iām doing this right now $$
After finishing another chapter, I am going to finish some more crackers and finish some more Vikings get ready for the great reset in three minutes $
Itās like the Michael Jordan day $
Good morning world $
Weāre watching heathenās getting hacked to bits $
Actually, the heathens are doing the hacking
Itās the old self-righteous Christians that are getting hacked $
These crackers are getting chomped though $
And I just bit my lip, lol $
When you start digging into the moon, you realize all the secrets about the sun $$*
And then once you run the numbers about the Earth, you realize that itās man-made $$*
And thatās when shit gets really crazy $$
*Lighter flick $$
Shout out to the city of Charlotte because theyāve clearly invested in their snow road treatment
I mean, there was a fucking foot of snow out there yesterday and now itās a clean black top
So whatever type of shit they used to melt it clearly worked $
Not to brag, but Iāve already eaten the second bowl of berries $
I seriously think Iām gonna try to finish these crackers by the time I go to bed
Sorry, āsecond sleepā $
The berries are the fiber
And probably some kind of fructose related trick
That tells my body to keep eating $
And then the cinnamon just helps with digestion because ever since I started eating these crackers, I noticed a significant improvement in my overall metabolic functioning $
Not even kidding
I think itās because itās such a simple and ācleanā source of fuel that itās easy for my body to process
And then I can use the room for real food
Such as the eggs beans and rice $
By clean, I really am just saying from A ingredient perspective
Itās still partially poisonous
Itās just as controlled and as least damaging as I can get $
A challenge you to find a better source of 1500 cal for under three dollars $
The cookies are closer to 2000 cal, but they have a lot more other bullshit in it that I canāt justify eating too often $
Itās been a couple weeks now on these crackers and Iām not gaining as much fat as I thought
I am enjoying them more and more
And I am gaining much more muscle than I expected
And Iām staying a lot warmer $
That is another big piece of this hole crazy puzzle $
I swear the heating element and keeping my house cold is keeping me lean $
Because itās kind of like a resistance band for cells
It gives them an opportunity to flex, and the resistance is really relative $$
*Openss third sleeve $$
Also, a reminder that pretty much any mass gainer is gonna be about 1200 cal of maltodextrin with all kinds of random extra shit thrown in the mix $$
And that basically made up half or 1/ third of my calories for most of an adult life $
The first half of my adult life, though I ate out for pretty much every meal
Second half I ate out half the time but the other half I would just buy the best ingredients $
Anything that takes longer than expected is most likely a good thing $$
Anything that happens much faster than expected is usually a trick or a trap $$
Unless your expectations are spot on, of course
Then ignore what I just said lol $$
There really is nothing wrong with getting your buzz on
Itās just that most people choose stupid alcohol
Or completely fly off the handle with any other substance worth doing
Or get so weird with shit thatāll give things a bad reputation $$$
I might be guilty on that last part $
I know every now and i bug out over the fact that I know I was a girl at some point in the past life,
But I really am just too attracted to women to believe it was any Anytime recent
Or if I was, then I certainly was mostly lesbian $
I mean, beautiful women just fuck me up man lol $
But I can tell when a guy is attractive
Without actually being attracted to him
But for most of my life, I actually couldnāt tell $
Now itās more in the aesthetic health sense $
I do believe sexuality is more of a spectrum than anything
That you can probably slide on that spectrum if you want,
But I also believe as with anything, you find your niche $
And over the summer in the middle of all that soul-searching, high strangeness,
I kept getting the sense that I was being visited by some kind of playful but romantic, loving spirit
And thereās some secrets between me and that spirit about those couple weeks in the tomb that will stay that way, if you know what I mean $
Actually, I hope you donāt know what I mean if you know what I mean lol $
Some things make a lot more sense if you envision an invisible audience $$
I done heard the most spiritual people talk the most shit $$
Not to brag, but I have finished an entire box of crackers by 1:01 AM $
Which should put me in perfect position for a hypertrophy session in about five or six hours $
I really do prefer when I can wake up and go train first thing
There really is no better way to start the day $
I done tried everything else every which way I can think of
And sometimes you gotta do some shit you donāt wanna do first, but I think itās time I get my morning sessions back for good $
Iām trying to wash these crackers down by chugging water
Iām not trying to chug the water. Iām actually trying to slow myself down. $
I doubt Iām gonna be awake for much longer. Iām just trying to get these things to scoot along a bit for indigestion sake $
I am noting for the record that my current 7oH tablet might be on the underdose side
Again, just goes back to the problem with the industry
But I am happy that I can get the product so it is part of the process $
Iām tempted to take that other half
Itās kind of like that rebound burnout
I donāt know even as I say it out loud I donāt really want to do that $
It is 1:11 AM so I gotta go back to bed in a few $
Although I am a little nervous about these carbs once they kick in
I guess technically speaking I only need maybe two or three hours of sleep
And then I can probably take a two hour nap at some point during the day $
Fuck it, bro Iām gonna go ahead and take that whole second half
Mostly because Iām on a full stomach of those crackers and Iām gonna need something to counteract it
And two to do a rebound because Iām gonna take the next 24 hours off of the tablets $
On a philosophical note
This will give me a chance to test the dosage, engage my tolerance $
It is now 2:09 AM and I have done my last weeks review and prepared the cuts for sorting for later $
Iāve scheduled a couple posts $
And I am preparing for second sleep after a victory hit or two $
Alex is super snuggly at the moment. Always a great note $
I think my forearm is itchy because of the cable rubbing on it at the gym and then the dry air so Iām gonna be careful not to scratch it $
I will add that if I did not have a buzz, I would not have done my editing now, and I would probably be tossing and turning in bed $
But instead, this is a perfect level of a buzz $
I mean, Iām gonna do some more side-by-side testing with this versus the full spectrum alkaloids and other extracts but I really canāt see how the other extracts can get better than this $
Cause Iām not trying to get too strong of a buzz
And Iām also not trying to wait 90 minutes for the equivalent of a Starbucks $$$
Thatās why I returne to the gas station heroin due to price and potency $$*
But if you do not respect the poison, then it will fucking kill you quick $$*
Except this poison actually wonāt kill you even if it makes you feel like dying $$*
So that is one big trade-off as why I will always speak up about this over fucking fentanyl $$*
And yes, I fully realize more people will do this now than who may never originally experiment,
but you cannot hide in a cave forever and call it growth $$$*
Eventually, youāre gonna have to come out the cave and take the drugs and go to the recovery meeting is just like the rest of us $$$*
Then youāll really understand secret societies $$$***
It is 7:05 AM and I am trying to wake up now
Oh man $
OK, it is now 8:46 AM and I am getting up. Iām gonna get ready for the gym soon. $
It is now 9:29 AM and Iāve got some mental mobility cuts done and Iāve taken probably two shots of caffeine squirt
A few different kinds
So now naturally, the dosing is all kinds of funky
But I am dragging
I think I got a little carried away yesterday with the push session
I think Iām at the point now to where Iām actually pushing so hard on the hypertrophy side that I need to be extra mindful of my recovery for the next couple weeks $
But I can easily move the movement portion to the beginning of the day as a good active warm-up
That sounds nice $
I plan on still hitting pull later
But Iām gonna have to eat more and rest more $
As of now, Iām trying to convince myself to go on this morning walk $
I would argue that learning to celebrate pain is the greatest lesson you could ever learn
Or master $$$
Pain by definition is inevitable
And there will always be brief moments of it
But before it crosses the invisible line into suffering,
We are given the opportunity to make a decision,
Whether or not to view it as a good or bad thing,
When viewed is a good thing,
then it transforms into growth,
and it is only a few moments away from becoming even pleasurable,
Even laughable
But viewed as a bad thing, we began heading down that pathway to suffering $$
Need a new segment called street sermons lol $
It is 10:37 AM and Iām gonna do some reading
I think the three capsules i took are starting to kick in
I think I took them I think about 45 minutes ago or something $
Iāve got the weight vest on for the record
And I put it on probably 20 minutes ago $
Weāre reading good energy $
First thing that jumps off the page is, did you know that 80% of medical school schools do not require a nutrition class? $$$
Oh yeah, and 95% of the academics in the USDA panel of the 2020 dietary guidelines add conflict of interest within the major food companies $$$*
You really need to look into how much sugar is added into everything if you havenāt already because childrenās food are the worst $$$
Also, friendly reminder that tapwater is not safe to drink just about anywhere, and therefore not really safe to use with food or cooking
Mostly due to arsenic and other heavy amounts of metals $$$*
Which is funny cause Iāve had to drink that magic water several times lol $
The biggest amateur move is going too heavy on the plant based shit and then blowing out your intestines just because you wanted to get some more micro nutrients $$$*
Seeds are the most notorious because of the poor bio availability
so proceed with your own risk $$$*
Most antibiotics in the US go towards animals and livestock which compound overtime $$$
Medical issues caused nearly 70% of the US bankruptcy
And type two diabetes adds up to be around $17,000 a year alone $$$
You gotta love the amateurs for putting together all the scientific info for everybody else to look at lol
but theyāre often the ones complaining and whining about everything $$$
Iām obviously all for raising awareness, which is why Iām doing all this,
but you gotta remember that it comes at the cost of your own emotional sanity
Emotional stress is always worse than physical stress I would argue ,
and the second you believe otherwise you have already magnified your physical stress so have fun with that $$$***
Trying to get an activist to worry about their vitamins is just literally going to panic them $$$*
Just tell them to eat one very nutrient dense food for three weeks and then go from there $$$*
Lol, imagine trying to get an activist to memorize all the functions of the alphabet vitaminās $$
Amateurs love citing studies and bringing up long phrases to pretend as if it makes up for their lack of actual fitness $$$*
Athletes are too busy to actually working to worry too much $$$*
Artists are too busy turning that poison into progress $$$*
And adepts are too busy making fun of the amateurs while trying to get the activists to relax $$$*
Snapshot of some of the vitamins and what they do best $$$*
Vitamin D
- Enhances insulin receptors includes transport
- Increases expression of mitochondrial genes
- Reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress
- Regulates expression of genes
- Found most mostly in fatty fish and mushrooms or eggs
Magnesium
- Facilitate ATP synthesis
- Reduces oxidative stress
- Regulates, glucose and fat metabolism
- Found mostly in nuts, spinach, and beans
Selenium
- Cofactor for oxidative enzymes
- Enhances expression and activity of insulin signaling protein
- Enhances, thyroid function
- Found mostly a nuts, tuna, chicken, and eggs
Zinc
- Participates in the ETC as a co-factor
- Increases activity of antioxidant enzymes
- Regulates, glucose and fat metabolism
- Found usually an oysters, beef beans, and dark chocolate
B vitamins - 1,2,3,5,6,9,12
- various steps of the energy metabolism and breaking down glucose and production of ATP
- And was synthesis of fatty acids, and amino acids
- Help with inflammation and oxidative stress
- Best sources are pork, rice, beans, nuts, milk, eggs, mushrooms, beef, avocado, avocados, sweet potatoes, salmon
- Some vitamins, very based off particular source
Alpha lipoic acid
- Cofactor for enzymes in the ETC
- Enhances, glucose, uptake, and insulin sensitivity
- Helps with oxidative stress
- Found in spinach, broccoli, tomatoes and most organ meats
Manganese
- House with ATP in the ETC
- Helps with antioxidant defense
- Activates enzymes involve with glucose uptake
- Nuts and beans and tea
Vitamin E
- Antioxidant
- Supports insulin signaling
- Supports immune function
- Nuts, spinach, and sweet potatoes
CoQ10
- Shuttles electrons between respiratory complex complexes during the synthesis of the ATP ETC
- Axes an antioxidant against free-radicals
- Improves glucose metabolism
- Organ meats, sardines, and beef
Taurine
- Supports mitochondria function
- Enhances insulin sensitivity
- Regulates inflammation and oxidative stress
- Meet and eggs
L carnitine
- facilitates fatty acids into the mitochondria
- Reduces oxidative stress
- Enhances insulin signaling
- Red meat and fish
Creatine
- Converts to phosphocreatine, which can be rapidly converted to ATP during high intensity training
- Enhances mitochondria enzymes
- Regulates inflammation and antioxidant genes
- Red meat, fish, poultry, and eggs
Vitamin C
- Promotes expression of mitochondria genes, especially with energy metabolism
- Antioxidant against free radicals
- Mostly citrus, fruits, broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, and kiwi
Another big category note is polyphenols
having incredible biologic effects, especially with antioxidant and feeding the micro biome
Kind of like fiber, but they also are metabolites from fiber
They help big time in protecting against the growth of new cancer cells
Basically starving the bad cells for energy,
processing can take out some of these polyphenols, however
But the foods that have the highest count or dried spices herbs, followed by cocoa, dark berries, and many different vegetables, coffee, and tea $$$*
Big Takeaway so far is that youād be surprised how many micro nutrients are in even the most common actual foods,
my point being is youād really donāt have to try that hard to get your vitamins in as long as youāre eating things that were once upon a time alive,
and you are active and listening to your body signals $$
For any activist that may be reading this,
is very important to remember that after about three weeks shit gets a lot easier if you can just stick with it,
but until then donāt even think about quitting because you will probably do it right when the opportunity presents itself because of how hard itās going to be $$$*
Lol, trying to tell somebody whoās broke as fuck and new to Fitness to focus on fermented foods is just demonstrating how out of touch you are $$$***
Not a bad suggestion, but youāre just gonna overwhelm people that way $$$
It is 1:15 PM and I am running to the store to get some carbs before the monster comes out
I probably look like and smell like shit so Iām gonna be careful to avoid everybody because I havenāt changed out of my smelly clothes yet $$
OK, this is one of those times where itās probably best I didnāt get what I wanted.
They were all out of graham crackers,
which forced me to do some looking and make another decision,
and I have landed back on the oatmeal blueberry maple syrup combo $
So I guess I need to remind myself to go to Aldiās to get that and probably electrolytes $
So we got some toilet paper
Some organic rolled oats
Some maple syrup and some cat food $
The blueberries and maple syrup is probably one of the best pre-workouts out. $
Yeah buddy new Joe Rogan podcast with Mike Benz get ready for some fuckery $
Start a strong with the Epstein bullshit $
It is 2:33 PM and we are going to the gym $
I know what it looks like when someoneās really running miles to get away from somebody
And that somebody is themselves $$**
It is 4:58 PM and I have just eaten a big gain bowl and finished some sorting two weeks ago and Iām a little behind if Iām being honest $
Todayās workout was awesome $
There was a brief moment where I had to ask some nice young teens to adjust their angles to stop putting his ass in my face, but you gotta learn somehow $
They seem real threatened when I asked him to scoot over a little bit lol $
The rest was pretty good $
There was one other guy who was probably experimenting with every single type of curl that you can think of
And taking up pretty much the entire space!$
But peak time at planet wouldnāt be the same without it $$
So weāre trying to refill for a minute
And probably do a little dashing $
After some prayer and some reflection, I donāt think I have it in me to dash $
I did a sunset walk and I was just trying to weigh all this family shit
I donāt even have the energy to go ramble on about it now
Iām just trying to think about what I would do if God himself was sitting next to me.
And I know that intention is enough $$
I was thinking about how I would like to go meet people and have fun again, but I just canāt afford the emotional energy
And not to play the blame game, but Iām realizing that itās not ADHD. Itās the fact that I have like no familyā¦$
And I spend the majority of my time just trying to be happy about it
Thatās the Godās honest truth $
And Anytime I think I can just go do this or go do that and itāll make everything OK,
Itās really just some kind of noble lie,
Within the pathetic realm of things that I can control
But itās better than doing nothing
Because itās at least allowed me to smile most the time
And that beats none of the time for sure lol $
It looks like it might be back to a relatively normal Charlotte winter night
High 30s and low 40s
And after 10 days of the teens
I gotta say Iām pretty excited for it lol $
And also for the record
I really do think this self warming technique is doing a lot more than I realize calorie expenditure wise
I actually think I lost a little bit of fat between my two workout workouts
And that would explain my headache and how I felt
I just didnāt think I was in an actual deficit
But it would make sense
I was much more vascular today
And all in all, I feel like I have a much greater reserve of energy $
I believe it may be a combination of both factors of my metabolic engine
Because itās really only been 30 days of consistent training like this
Where I can consider using working resistance
Instead of just showing up and doing the basics $
I keep forgetting, how much progress Iāve made in such a short amount of time
Not to humble brag, but itās just simply because Iām used to it
Gain and lose 30 pounds every couple years whenever I decide to
Or whenever the need dictates
So my body is actually pretty used to burning shit off or adding it back on pretty quickly
And it seems like itās getting faster each time $
It is 7:19 PM and we just smashed another gain bowl
This time just rice, butter and five eggs $
Trying to go easy on the beans
Theyāre the magical fruit for a reason lol š« $$
I should have a pretty good buzz on the way
So I think Iām gonna capitalize on that and go read $
Pretty fucking wild, huh? $
I know - Iām a party š $
It looks like my furnace is also participating $
I actually kind of hope it doesnāt for very long because I donāt wanna take off all these layers $
It is now 751 and I read two more chapters
Iām very proud of myself for reading
For pleasure
And not to prove a point $
Miracles come true all the time if you work your ass off for em lol $$$*
So itās about time for first sleep
And take a victory hit
And finish the last few minutes of Narcos
They finally killed Pablo lol $
It is 11:42 pm $
Omg voice to text is being a hoe so gotta restart phone $
It is little shit like that that really drives me nuts
And itās probably what is responsible for a lot of my crap in this incarnation $$
Whatever $
Seems like a pretty warm night at least in the outside $
I feel kind of bitchy on the inside $
It might be related to kratom if Iām being honest
Or could be the overwhelming refreshed family bullshit trauma $
I donāt know how long Iām gonna be awake honestly $
Partly because I physically need to sleep more
Partly because my emotional enthusiasm is robbed and Iām really just trying not to get angry over extra existential shit $
If you spend enough time around the wrong gods, youād become an atheist too $$*
Good morning world $
A little bit of sarcasm on that $
Nothing is wrong, but everythingās fucked lol $$$
Totally existential venting,
This is what happens whenever my happy go lucky guard drops
But oh well, thatās why I let it out in the middle of the night and try to take some notes atleast $
Those who care about power make me sick
But I think part of me probably cares about power so Iām wrestling with that lol $$
I have been judged a disappointment by just about everybody
But not in the cool way
I havenāt had some super talented and wise coach give me the āwaste of potential speechā
Itās been just a bunch of random people who donāt value their health, whether physical or mental,
who enjoy judging-just for the brief intermittent pleasure of it
So if itās not the cool kind of disappointment $
Every rep that you do honors every rep that youāve done
Even if it doesnāt feel like it $$$***
I think some blueberry oatmeal will help my mood $
In all seriousness, though, Iām letting myself feel the shit
So that way, I can recover from it
Iāve just come to some realizations about the whole family trauma connection to ADHD to connection to loneliness and how hard it is to build relationships and all of that
And the realization is,
Iām just gonna have to go back to doing it the old-fashioned way,
but with greater resistance
Basically, the equivalent of emotionally muscling everything but I donāt really have much of a choice $
But what I was saying is
When youāre a muscling things,
itās all the small stuff that matters the most
And how you handle the small stuff $$
And things like simply taking the time to boil the water to make the oatmeal is enough to make me not want to make that oatmeal $$
because my brain has been hijacked into not wanting to devote the energy,
for no other reason than to save it in case I get emotionally attacked or I have to use it to combat homelessness $$
I mean, literally when thereās a legitimate serious threat-
Such as physical harm or significant emotional or financial harm due to factors that you cannot control-
thereās going to be an invisible part of your brain that is always on the lookout to protect you $$
It will basically begin laundering your energy without you being aware of it,
Itāll take out small bits and pieces here and there at first where you donāt recognize,
but over a long periods of time youāre inability to recover adds up and causes the most significant problems $$
Healing must begin with awareness
So itās a big deal just to connect the dots that itās not my fault that my energy is all fucked sometimes $$
But it is 100% my responsibility because if I donāt do something about it, my health will be fucked $$
And we are all in this together, so if I can pull through, if that means somebody else can pull through, and that means itāll get easier for all of us to pull through $$$
Because things are fucked up right now, emotionally more than ever,
And you could argue that makes it harder than ever considering the amount of decisions that one has to make each and every day to avoid temptation, $$
But weāve come a long way from just killing each other in the woods and not thinking twice about it $$$
And I think that counts for a lot $
The higher up the mountain you climb, the scarier the potential is for the fall
Except usually 50 feet or 500 feet kill you the same, except the one is going to be a much more enjoyable way down $$*
Also, you use the same technique for the first 50 feet that you use for the remaining 450
Just with different levels of resistance $$
Most people are not bad people.
Theyāre just completely captured by their own trauma and usually have been for so long- They donāt even recognize itās going on. $$$***
No matter how smart I was, I still acted like a shit burden. I think thatās the important lesson here is ~ intellectual intelligence doesnāt mean shit without emotional intelligence,
and Iām going to teach that to the world the easy way or the hard way. $$
Kind of interesting that the organic oats need to be cooked for longer $$
Itās starting to feel like October again which is exciting because March is like the September of the spring if that makes sense $$
And I recall eating lots of blueberry oatmeal on October time $
So just a recap, since I really started publishing my notes- that the carb monster has gone through:
-PB&Jās
-Excessive amounts of saltine crackers
-Oatmeal with and without blueberries
-Record breaking amounts of graham crackers
-Concerning amounts of double stuff Oreo cookies
-Toast and several different jellies and jams
$$
You know, people say a lot that drugs canāt fix you,
And theyāre not the actual root cause of the problem,
and 99% of the time that is the truth,
but by simply having a very minor chemical buzz enhances pretty much every area of your life and it really does solve at most immediate problems $$*
Thatās dangerous philosophy to a āwanna beā alcoholic though so trust me I get it $$$*
Just thinking how oatmeal & blueberries kinda looks like rice and beans lol $$
Anyhow, Iām feeling better now that Iāve vented this out $
Adding more evidence to my theory that I mightāve been such an intelligent dick in the past life that in this life, I have to do all this shit alone
But Iām so good at it that it literally is an art form $$*
š š $$
Which leads me to a side tangent-
about how growing up, pretty much anything competitive I would do, I almost always won after I learned whatever it was,
So whoever Iād be playing against would naturally try to form an alliance with somebody else that was also a sore loser,
And soon people would be conspiring for my downfall $$*
Just ask anyone that I hung out with in the program if you can find them lol $$*
So I think a spiritual joke is, $
Part of this whole life was to rough me up a little bit emotionally
But Iām not sure if they expected me to do all of this lol $
But what do you expect when you give a magician a dragon? š $$
This blueberry oatmeal so fucking good
I think itās better than before
Itās been about three months $
It really is pretty funny. How warm I am now.
42° is a fucking joke compared to 13° $$
Iām not trying to get too cocky
Because I was totally bundled up and pretty generous alternating the space heaters after sundown,
But that was a lot easier than I thought it would be overall,
and the results are far more impactful on my physique than I expected $
I mean, it is like the perfect bulk defense who wouldāve thought that you are gonna be naturally resistant to storing fat during the winter because youāre gonna be so busy burning it $$
And there are a few things better than a synergistic midnight buzz and a good book
Preferably one written by some kind of convict lol $$*
And on that note, it is 1 AM and we are already on chapter 17 of the book āsentenceā that we started last week $
He just got done explaining all the white supremacy prison politics $
G just made a pretty funny point about how many prisoners support capital punishment as a way to justify some of their murders and because they believe certain criminals deserve death
Like pedophiles $
And now this Epstein shit,
I gotta say I was pretty impressed with the level of disclosure on the recent round
But I know this shit is so dirty and so chopped and screwed that simply the time it takes for us to sort through that many files is what Iām worried about $$$
It is now 1:32 AM and I am wrapping it up and probably about to go back to bed $
I think Iām gonna try to go to the gym first thing but thatās really gonna depend on how much energy I feel like I have from the carbs and all of that
Because if I wake up all groggy and shit again, then probably gonna wait till later $$
But I have the motivational mood to go at least if that makes sense $
Could just be the Kratom talking though $
I think itās raining now too$
I can tell Iām getting older because I donāt really care about the big battle scenes as much as I care about the political drama and the character arcs $$
It is now 4:05 AM and I am gonna get up and do some FAQs or something
Smoke a bit and then probably go back for a little nap before training $
Alex keeps accidentally locking himself in the sunroom lol $
True salesmanship is emotional verbal endurance grappling $$$***
And if you donāt know that, then youāre not even a white belt $$$***
You earn your first stripe on the first ānoā that you overcome $$$*
You donāt earn your black belt until you have a whole team of killers though $$$*
You donāt earn a salesmanship black belt until you sold something of each ticket item $$$*
Meaning, Iāve sold things that cost a couple dollars,
A dozen dollars,
A couple dozen dollars,
Couple hundred dollars,
Couple thousand dollars,
Couple dozen thousand dollars,
Couple hundred thousand dollars,
Couple million dollars, $$
That seven levels, motherfucker $$
The eighth level is gonna require selling an institution or something so Iām working on that $$
Not only have I sold those things, but I have coached others to so as well $$
Real estate is unique in the sense that you are convincing other people to do a deal,
so you get double bonus points for manipulation lol $$
And also, if you help somebody buy a house, then you help them resell that same house,
then you get to double dip
And often times your one client might know somebody, or might have a side house project They want to work on in the future, and so on and so on $$
So real estate,
itās more about marketing than sales $$
I am eating some berries with syrup
Iām not gonna lie though, I really want the graham crackers
I say that until the berries are kicks in, so weāll see $
It is 5:09 AM and I have just eaten five more eggs
And had to throw them in a little bit of rice at the end to get all the excess yolk
And man, even though itās kind of the same thing Iāve been doing, I swear itās getting better every time $$
I am testing a theory
Because I ate the high fiber berries first with the high sugar syrup,
Iām hoping thatāll spike my metabolism and the eggs and rice with the butter, which is on the higher fat side, will be a little quicker to digest as well $$
It is 8:50 AM and I am getting up
I am super groggy though $
It is now 10:57 AM
It has been a strange morning
I have gotten some good quality review work done
And Iāve done it on minimum supplementation if you know what I mean
But my motivation for lifting keeps going back-and-forth
Same with my hunger $
So on that note, Iām actually headed to the store to get more carbs for the monster $$
If comfort is the thing they value most,
then never worry about disturbing it $$$***
They are still out of graham crackers so I had to stick with the rocket fuel
The double stuffed Oreos $$
And honestly gives me another chance to test something Because as good as they are, I could be wrong about something $
Because they essentially have all the most processed ingredients or poison that there is, there is a chance that they could be disrupting the digestion process more than they are helping me refuel for my activity level $$
I thought all morning that Iād be full on the carbs, but my body keeps telling me otherwise
Cause I actually do want to train $
You can say,
I have become the exact opposite of a skinhead,
literally and figuratively speaking $$
Iāve eaten 1/3 of those cookies and I already feel a lot better energy wise lol $
The sad part is, I do think the trauma based bullshit in the background is interfering with my sleep $$
So for any that may be thinking Iām trying to promote eating poison,
Iām not
Iām saying that sometimes you can use it as a Band-Aid for fuel to reinvest your energy into activities that sustain a long-term $$
Because instead of eating the cookies,
I could just keep laying around being a tired, emotional worm šŖ± $$
Or I can enjoy the cookies and increase my leg workout exponentially $$$$$
Mostly because of the work Iāve been doing over the past few months
Keep in mind this is not my first rodeo
I have earned this $
As the great spiritual convict that I am $$
God, more and more it just feels like I had a 30 year sentence lol $
Itās 3:15 PM and we are leaving planet now
I was a pretty amazing leg workout,
Definitely on the functional side with a little bit of isolated isometricsā thrown in the mix $
I could definitely push harder with the overall resistance, but I know that will put me in another gear real quick
So Iām trying to keep it relatively light and give my legs a chance to get a low-grade pump $
Most people think if they can simply date somebody attractive that they can use the dopamine hits from looking at their other to avoid the work that it takes to improve themselves $$$***
To the point where they donāt crave to be in a relationship.. $$$
Most people donāt care about you, they just care about how you can make them feel $$$$*********
Consciously and unconsciously $$
And as with anything, this can be a good and bad thing
But whenever there are many different options available, it usually turns into a bad thing because people are always gonna want to choose the easier softer way $$
Real stress is so dangerous because it fucks up your bodyās metabolic functioning and dis regulates it to such a high degree $$
Anything that makes you say āoh shitā,
Spikes your heart rate,
Turns your blood cold,
Makes you fight off extreme waves of dread,
Is also switching your bodies nervous system from āfight or flightā from ārest and digestā $$$
So if someone pisses you off,
Your body is gonna think you just went to go work out $$*
If you stay angry, your body wonāt know when itās time to go into recovery mode $$*
overtime, this will be extremely dangerous $$$
Everyone loves to play āwhoās more traumatizedā until they start losing $$$*
And then they lose all their excuses for the future $$$*
It is 6:17 PM
Weāve just returned back from the Momās house
And this was the exact opposite of last weekās visit,
I left with a trash bag full of food,
And after a pleasant exchange and a optimistic doctor visit,
It is a relief $
Itās almost such a relief that itās easy to gaslight myself into the week of hell and background trauma that Iāve been trying to fight and Ward off $$
But I owe the truth and as best and balanced as I can record it $$
The moral of the story here is people are not their trauma
People are not their egos,
Even though they literally are lol $$$
There is a spiritual consciousness behind every ounce of pain $$
And it just takes the right opportunity for that to shine through $$
I am just happy for the moment that we are on the building side of things,
but still dream of a day to where we no longer view burning as bad $$
I hope my furnace is normal tonight. Weāll see. $
The plan now is to continue eating as much as I can, even with the new processed frozen foods $$
I guess I got to prove to the world that the emotional impact of processed poisonous food is worse than the actual physical impact $$
But good luck proving that lol $
However, I do think that the prison population is proof positive that food is not really as important as intention $$**
I mean seriously
Look at the prison population
If you were trying to poison people and get them fat sick to die early, that is the group
But ironically, The general population looks sicker
& instead, most prisoners are jacked
And the ones who are not - it is pretty obvious why
They just simply are too scared to do their physical work
Or are too busy giving away all of their candies and pastries to the lifters in the prison $$
It is 7:41 PM
And Iām honestly highly considering running to the smoke shop to buy a pack of cigarettes
Iām dead serious
Something about the nighttime nicotine
I really think it might be worth it
It was a big factor on why it went to so many meetings
At least- it sure as shit made them better and more manageable
And strangely enough,
I always managed my nicotine and cigarette smoking with ease, comparatively speaking
Meaning, I never really would smoke that much unless I was in a social setting Never really wanted to $
But there are a few things better than smoking and talking shit
And it probably would help me cut back on my cannabis $$
Oh, fuck it I think Iām gonna run to the smoke shop $
We are leaving the store now with a pack of blue American spirits and another three count of the seven hydroxy
It is time to begin the adept professional writing phase $$*
Iām officially stepping out for my first cigarette and in 8.25 years $
Excluding the one I had at a comedy show with a lying sick of shit $
Iām gonna go real easy on this, but I gotta practice so I donāt look like a fucking virgin again $
Iām dead ass pretending Iām like out to eat or something like the old days $
This is supposed to be a light cigarette $
Iām definitely not vaping, though that shits more addicting than actual regular tobacco $
I forgot how much they used to make me spit $
Nicotine is the working manās drug
second to caffeine
Ironic, that both of those are the recovery manās poison $$*
Got about two good drags now
Iām gonna pump the brake slightly make sure I donāt get a nicotine poisoning
Or the opposite $
But Iām just enjoying the nice cold air evening smoke like I used to $
I wonder how many cigarettes have actually smoked $
I technically quit in November 2017
When I had strep throat $
I had gone bits and pieces here and there,
I just never really enjoyed smoking outside of a social setting or the solitude while connecting with divinity
Like Iām doing now $
But Iāve had a lot of good moments, all puffing on the end of a smoke
Thatās how I made most of my friends $$
And I didnāt realize it at the time, but the smoking technique goes back many many many life times $$
My goal honestly and not even joking, is to get back a social evening routine
So if I need to smoke cigarettes like an actual convict, then I will $$
I see a really nice kitty
I hope itās not homeless $
Kitty, if you can hear me, just know you always have a friend here šø $
Iām a go ahead and put my cigarette out about halfway through so I donāt get carried away because I can already feel the good buzz $
The kitty just walked directly to my neighborās door though, so Iām hoping it lives there $
But trust me
The irony that I just went to buy the two most addicting substances is not lost on me $$$
This is the first time as a grown adult I can document a virgin nicotine buzz $$
Cause I gotta say- I do feel really relaxed right now
A little chatty too obviously $
Itās been too long to say with too much certainty, but I do feel like the American spirit buzz is a little bit better than the Marlborough or camel šŖ $$
So Iām going to capitalize on the vibes and get back to reading āsentenceā
Iām not gonna lie- he kinda has the one that gave me the idea $$
All the talk about convicts cherishing nicotine, he got me kind of excited $
Remembering how when I was 14 before I fell too far in love with marijuana, I used to steal a cigarette or two and sneak out of my window for the evening smoke $
I looked forward to it every night $
Bro, it is pretty remarkable How relaxed I feel right now. $
It also makes me feel a little bit better about my other substance uses because most of my Kratom buzz isnāt even this strong $$$
It is 8:40 PM and we have finished another book
Always good to be able to say that $$$
Kind of late to catching the significance of the date being 24 and all, but hey, at least we got it $$
Time to finish that cigarette $
It is 10:17 PM
And Iām headed to first sleep
The cigarette did kind of what I expected
And the second half of it made me feel pretty icky
I have zero desire for another anytime soon lol $
But again, I did it to try to socially incentivize myself
So baby steps $
Good morning world $
It is 2:18 AM $
It Is the 14 year anniversary of my release from rehab $
It Is a brief intermission the middle of the night $
Wait a moment $$
Almost gotta be here to believe it
but kind of glad that Iām alone because Iām a loner stoner lol $$
In keeping with our prisoner convict, ārecent newfound freedomā theme
Weāre gonna watch āorange is the new blackā $
I know Iām late and I know this was mostly a chicks show
But fuck it $
Whenever the show is good to watch, then the notes are usually limited ironically $$
But whenever the show is kind of lame, then Iām gonna have about 20 minutes of good content to record before I have to switch to something different $
So far as of 3:21 AM it is pretty good $
Iām nervous that itās gonna get kind of lame or lean towards the female audience
Nothing against that
Just not really my kind of humor $
Iām more of an Oz kind of guy lol $
And if you hadnāt seen that original prison show then holy shit let me tell you⦠$$$
Just thinkin bout how obv it is when people watch your set
The more sneaky they think they are, the more obvious it actually is $$
It is now 3:39 AM
We are upgrading the buzz
Probably gonna make a pork steak here in a minute
Itās a nice tribute to my childhood I suppose
For some reason when I think of the pork steaks, Iām having memories of band camp
And I keep flashing back to the rainy after- lesson runs to Aldi
I used to hate it when I was a kid because they only carried offbrand cheap shit
I also used to hate on the clarinet and all the music I was playing
But now Iām very grateful that my mom forced me to do it $$
And while I was watching the show, I just keep thinking more and more that I must be two different spirits merged together so to speak
Because on one hand, we have that super ancient old soul,
neurotic old man kind of thing,
that begrudgingly is forced to step up all too often
but as long as my biological vehicle is running smooth, is actually is very comfortable state of consciousness $$
And then thereās this other,
that I refer to as a fucking dragon at this point
because this thing just goes where it wants, does what it wants,
but what it does is absolutely breathtaking and truly $$
I mean, I was about to say indescribable, but thatās literally what Iām doing $$
But I think anybody that thatās rode the wave and gone with the flow can relate $$
And thinking more and more how the only way I can truly live is to silo off each and every moment and activity $$
To throw away the big playbook once more,
View each day as its own,
Each collection of minutes as its own
Even though youāre usually only looking at about 30 minutes at a time $$
And by mastering the small and becoming aware of every possible conceivable detail, then that is the best way to build something truly great without falling victim to micromanagement and neuroticism $$*
Anyhow,
weāre making ham and peas š«
And so a little bit more about both of these,
The ham steaks are super easy to make and usually pretty cheap
Youāre looking at maybe 3 to $ a pound and itās pretty much straight salty protein
Saves forever too, even before you cook it $$
And then frozen vegetables are almost always better than the fresh ones unless youāre immediately about to prepare them,
Cause letās keep it real,
most of the veggies that we buy are going to sit for at least a couple days
and by that point, usually start working against the dietary techniques because we start subconsciously dreading eating them $$
But frozen vegetables are almost always flash frozen so not only do they maintain their nutrients more,
but generally taste better after preparation $$
Naturally, some vegetables are gonna save and freeze better than others $$
Thatās where peas come in as a very consistent and usually very tasty veggie š„ $$
green beans are also pretty good
Broccoli can be pretty hit or miss but usually more hit $$
Peas are actually on the higher side of protein as far as veggies are concerned,
but letās not get carried away cause weāre still talking only 4 or 5gs $$
Bro,
that ham came with a little bit of glaze that Iāve never had before
And that shit is amazing.
I swear I could eat the whole pound if I wanted to, itās so good.
Iām gonna force myself to save the second half $
But on a more serious note, I am going to focus more on eating actual foods instead of just a shit load of fuel
Even though Iām probably gonna do both $$
As I eat my glass of berries and syrup $
This is partly because my metabolism is finally running fast enough to handle more meals $
And yes, Iām fully aware of this cyclic effect $
And as I jokingly say all the time when Iām eating poison,
It is still poison ā ļø $$
But I think thatās part of life
Otherwise, why would we ever have left the garden of Eden? $$$
I just think the only way to make the garden of Eden better,
is to be able to party without stupid consequence $$$***
It is 7:20 AM and I am briefly getting up
Probably gonna do another round of sleep $
It is now 856 and I am out of bed for good $
The furnace is kicking ass
Itās 31°
But I wouldāve had no idea $
My non-caffeinated thoughts are about making this a rest day and being lazy and blah blah blah
And honestly part of me does feel the need to be a lazy bear today š» $
We lost interest in orange is the new black pretty quick for the record
It was just pretty slow and boring compared to the other actual prison shows Iāve seen lol $
It is 9:30 AM and it is official
Iām declaring today a Francois holiday
As this is the 14 hour anniversary of me being released from rehab
And the fact that I accidentally & organically posted a post about it this week after the schedule timeline was kind of funky just reinforces This is divine timing. ā±ļø $$
So to celebrate today,
I will be basically doing what I used to do and laying around watching Netflix all day, eating frozen foods and taking poisons $
Iām probably gonna try to skip the gym or at least not go until later
As right now, Iām in full recovery mode $
The fact that next on the list is a cold shower is making it a little easier to chill tho lol $$
It is 10:37 AM and weāre gonna do some reading. We are going to reread. ācanāt hurt meā by David Goggins. $
What an inspiration $
It is 11:03 AM and we just made two French bread pizzas
To celebrate FranƧois day lol $
That is about 1000 cal
35 g of protein
And basically 2 g of sodium lol $
I know I keep saying Iām probably gonna take a rest day, but we both know thatās probably bullshit
And that Iām gonna be doing some kind of emotional chest hypertrophy session later $$
Although I donāt exactly want to go during peak time
And I donāt think Iāll actually want to go early in the day $
There is a chance I might actually move it till later in the evening $
Iāve given up trying to get a consistent schedule
And instead, if I just focus on listening to my intuition and my motivation and maximizing my efforts in whatever task comes up
I am finding that is much easier for an emotional manageability perspective $
Instead of trying to force this damn dragon to do shit that It donāt want to do $$
It is 11:25 AM and I am going on my morning walk
Fuck it, bro Iām gonna wear the Snuggie $
Also kind of strange how the weather is almost identical to that day that I was discharged from rehab $
That was the smallest and shortest Sunwalk of all time
Mostly because the sun wasnāt out
And I really didnāt want to see anybody, but while I was walking, I saw the same chick that I saw running the other day like a crazy person
and she came flying right by me
I wonder what she thought about my skittles Snuggie lol $
Iām gonna give myself a little bit of credit
Because now that the furnace is working
It is a major - major difference energy wise than when it does not
And itās still only 35° $
I keep forgetting that for the past two weeks is basically been in the teens or 20s at this point
and that 35 was as high as it would get in the middle of the day $
The snow and all of the ice added to the aesthetic nicely $$$
So it is now 1133 and I am getting a little antsy
So letās see if we can figure out why $
I donāt actually think it is the pizza yet,
I think it is the fact that it is about to kick in,
I have a pretty solid Kratom buzz at the moment,
That started off 1/8 of a tab, but is probably being magnified by the three capsules I took right before the pizza. $
Which is another big point of emphasis, because three capsules usually doesnāt feel like much if your tolerance is moderate $
And thereās definitely no withdrawals related $
Iāve only taken a couple hits today
About to take a couple more
But no physical need or obsession whatsoever $
In fact, I keep forgetting about cannabis and then get excited when I remember
if that makes sense $
I donāt know,
it might actually be the bread from the pizzas kicking in
Which would be a very important note to identify the difference between the carbs from bread versus other sources like crackers $
Iām trying to kill some more time but Iām leaning more and more like Iām gonna go to the gym soon lol $
And at this point, I really am just waiting for everything to digest a little further $
Iām just kind of bored and donāt really have much motivation to do anything $
I donāt want to do any social media work really mostly cause I just donāt wanna sit still $
Just had a big epiphany
I am willing to bet itās mostly the sodium and other ingredients part of the pizza that are impacting me the most right now $$
Because it is a weird kind of energetic anxiety
But if I was in the middle of a workout, then I can tell this would be a pretty drastic difference $$
Because I now really want to go train
And I havenāt had any caffeine and all my Kratom buzz is gone lol $
Luckily, that pizza was mostly bread so Iām thinking I should be all clear in about 30 minutes
And considering my metabolism is running pretty high, I think that will be a good spot $
Iām probably gonna fuck around with the dumbbells actually
This will force me to use more fats, believe it or not $$
At least thatās the theory $
So if I can use the extra sodium and micro ingredients to help turn my metabolic engine all the way up,
then I could probably go for a pretty good endurance based finisher too $$
Also, the fact that Iām only 175 and this is with a shit load of water and fully clothed..
ā¦
That is incredible $$
That means my honest weight is got to be close to 171 or 2 $$
Which means I have gained an honest 5 pounds of muscle give or take
Maybe a pound or two a fat $
But Iām just most excited by the limited fat gain $
Swerving,
It Makes more sense if you view parents as grown children $$*
Wisdom is knowing which activists will vacate the machine within 3 min vs those who will camp for 13 $$$****
It is 2:10 PM and we are arriving back home after a glorious chest and arms session
Iām actually pretty startled by how fast my upper body is growing~ hypertrophy wise
Because that means I have to pick it up on my legs so I donāt get too disproportionate $$
And the issue with my legs is - theyāre mostly the power muscles so that means some pretty brutal workouts lol $$
Just thinking about how doctors and I can get along if they would just stop ruining everybody I recommend going to them $$$***
Nothing more frustrating than teaching somebody how to change their life only for them to twist an ankle and end up throwing it all away $$$***
It is 3:13 PM
We are cracking up this newest JRE episode
We are managing our buzz so we can get to work $
Just ate the rest of that ham and some rice and beans and butter
And I feel fantastic $
Iām beginning to realize more and more just how much being in a caloric deficit impacts your mental health $$$
As Iāve been in a calorie deficit for the most part since fall of 2021, lol
That was the last time I weighed in over 200 pounds $
Weāre gonna do a little bit of reading just to let everything digest just a bit
That way if I need to do another little mini walk before I get to the social media shit then I can
But weāre reading more about the body keeps the score and weāre already on chapter 10 $
Is now 3:38 PM and time to make some tea before we do our āeveningā walk and get to building $
Iām doing my walk with the weight vest under my snuggle and I donāt care
Itās still 37° outside
Which is not much right now, but that would be a bitch a year ago $
Or even three months ago $$
Bro, there are hundreds of birds out right now
I mean, theyāre everywhere
On the ground feeding, I think
I donāt know if this is rare because i probably just have never noticed
I think theyāre all Robbins $
That was an incredibly brief walk, but thatās all that matters is that I put on the vest and I walked down the street and I picked up a piece of trash
I guess if itās easy then is my reward lol $$
Tis 5;42pm and we are movin at planet
On the treadmill this time
Been a bit that Iāve have a real tread sess $
Goal is light running muscle activation
Not really cardio $
Jesus fuck
there is a whole ass party by the DBs
Glad I did that earlier when it was dead lol $
Btw the perf walking speed is 3.1mph $$**
It is 6:52 PM
We are feeling fantastic overall
Just a emphasis on the fact that I finally really am physically recovering back to my normal self
My ānon-ADHDā self $
We are baking about 2 1/2 pounds of chicken
Weāre using the chicken in the bag method that the Madre was kind enough to donate
But it is a first so I am nervous lol
Even though all I had to do is put the chicken in a bag
Shake it
And put it in the oven for an hour $$
I just hope the bag with the micro plastics donāt ruin everything $
But AnyWho $
Possible explanations for the pyramid:
-Theyāre fake
-They were carved somehow (talking about most of the South American )
-moved stones with mind $$
Is 9:31 PM and we are going to first sleep to hopefully be up at a somewhat cool time to chill and go to the movies š„ $
Good morning world $$$
It is 1:30 AM and I am arriving at the movies now
physically and intellectually $
And emotionally for what itās worth $
Slept like a rock šŖØ $
Which rocks šŖØ $$
All seriousness,
is pretty cool to be able to go to such a deep sleep $
And I believe I fell asleep just after 9:30
Which makes for a good honest four hours $
Weāre putting on ābetter call Saulā $
*Bubbles roar $
They say only philosophers would not change their behavior if all laws were immediately abolished
Therefore, if you would do something different under different circumstances than you were not a true philosopher $$$***
A true philosopher has gone through the hell of the crucifixion process
Which is when you lose everything due to your beliefs $$*
Remember,
Socrates drank the hemlock like a gangster $$$*
We could be more like Socrates $$$
Appreciate the poison because it is probably the reason for your purpose $$
Jesus was just the king @ dealing with trolls $$
And if that can make you a demigod,
then I can think of nothing better $$
The intro to better call Saul reminds me of my manager at my last job $
I just caught myself laughing at the ridiculousness
Reminding me, , literally there is no real reason that I had to leave other than the managers were so freaking bad $$
And this is a wellness place !
They literally have hyper recovery in their name,
Which of course, is your first clue that it is a complete shit $$**
Because this manager was doing everything that he could to work as little as possible and take advantage of the amenities that they offered $
He thought he was the smartest so whenever he would leave early or make up meetings and phone calls or pretend to be working, he thought nobody noticed $
And each and every time he tried to pretend that I was a fool, made it worse and worse $
After doing this job for 60 days, I can confidently reaffirm that I could have done his job and my job better than him $
I am willing to back that challenge up, except I never wanna do another ounce of work for them again $
But there is zero areas that he was āsuperiorā in the end
And heās the one that made it a competition, not me $
He did it every time he would lie to his boss who didnāt play those games,
but also couldnāt recognize how she was building a suffocating culture $
The Type to āinnocentlyā talk you to death and overexplain things to the point of accidentally belittling you and making you feel like youāre dumb $$
Itās tough because that was not her intention,
but after doing it to everybody for seven years, she developed a culture that accepts that kind of shit $$
The kind that doesnāt allow you to sit still and has to invent some busy work just because itās the corporate thing to do $$
Maybe thatās a simple simpler way to get you to envision it $
Just envision the most generic and stereotypical,
middle aged,
middle level,
midsized corporate manager,
Who is delusional in the sense that the employees celebrate whenever they are left alone $$$$$$$
If your team celebrates your absence,
you are disqualified from being considered a āleaderā
Because that is the definition of a manager $$$***
And a poor one at that $$$
But that is such the norm,
And it is so accepted that I am probably in the minority overall for my viewpoints that I just voiced $$
But if people are being honest, nobody can say Iām being wrong $$
Or that Iām even getting out of pocket $$
Cause your boy is staying in the pocket and dropping these dimes,
you know what Iām saying $$
.*Lighter flick $$
Iām not gonna mention their names,
but they are literally the most generic vanilla suburban, middle-aged names of all time too $$
And the fact that this location happened to be across town,
In the more historic / pretentious part,
On the same street that is one of the most notorious partying streets and all of South Charlotte,
On the same street that Iāve eaten countless chicken wings,
and midnight cheeseburgers on,
The same street that I had gone on many very cringe digital dates, $$
I am so grateful I did that
pretty much starting a year ago $
I interviewed there the day my ex moved out
And then I began working there basically - immediately full-time
Which was not the plan $
When I was hired,
it was supposed to be a part-time gig,
but because my life had imploded,
I didnāt object to going full-time immediately
Which was good because my manager just scheduled me for 40+ hours without really even checking my schedule ever $
Literally my first example of āthis dude is a shit birdā š¦
$
Most days, I shouldnāt have even been on the clock because the schedule was so fucked $
And then the days in which we were actually busy naturally,
we were understaffed because this dude couldnāt even bother to admit he goofed $$
And the other staff were too scared or too sad or too tired or some other really unfortunate reason to push back or say anything or do anything $$
It was so unnecessarily toxic that it became a bigger threat to my immediate security that I couldnāt even begin to process my relationship and what had just happened $
I was in the crutches of the Adderall as well
And because I suddenly had zero financial plan whatsoever,
I was completely trapped and forced to do the full-time
and try to make it work despite being completely emotionally bankrupt $
And this was the best thing that couldāve happened for me
because I immediately had to resort to a level of discipline that was unlike anything myself or probably any of my ancestors have ever seen $$
To overnight,
begin working that many hours while maintaining a spotless household,
While maintaining my sanity,
While being continuously kicked in the nuts in every way, shape & form philosophically possible,
Forced me to check my own shit for a couple months $$
And then after about 60 days, it had gotten so bad,
And I had already gotten financially fucked twice for no reason,
I was forced to leave immediately $
Partly because the solution was to go all in and try to get any kind of digital training resource I could up and running,
But I quickly found out how far away I really was from what I really wanted to work on $
And this is before I had finalized the resistance games or even the art or even for damn spherical concepts for the game $$
I mean, this was truly starting at the bottom of the mountain shit
With nothing and nobody $
Except a shit load resistance $
I had zero energy so I couldnāt even work on my own stuff for the first month
I literally had to go back down to Boot Camp status $
My workouts were pretty much vaporized as
I couldnāt properly eat to save my life $
So right after I had learned the actual role of this new job,
Which keep in mind they had a full arsenal of legitimate recovery services to learn which was fuck ton, $
And while they were fucking around delivering these services,
their services themselves were medically sound, and required quite a bit of substantial functional knowledge to make work, $$
This position was underpaid,
of course
And I was certainly overqualified,
but it didnāt have to be that way
Thatās a side tangent for another time $$
My point is the first month took a lot of energy just learning how the hell how to perform cryotherapy and shit $
And while I ended up doing pretty much everything from day one,
The managers of course, decided that they would make every step of the process complete overkill,
And this indirectly resulted in my first financial fucking
because they kept me in training for much longer than I actually wasnāt training for $$
You know when you pretty much get thrown to the wolves
or baptized by fire immediately?
I mean, that was the case,
but because this asshole didnāt bother to sign my sheet, it resulted in me losing half my money for the first 90 days $
And because I was forced to quit before 6 months, I actually never received that second half of my pay
Meaning half the time I did, all of that I made minimum wage- $7.75 $
And when this was made clear,
my only option was just to disclose how unfair that was to our general manager
And of course, she just āhandled meā $
I mean,
I of course have the text messages and emails,
All all we were talking a swing of maybe $1500 $
Which is probably pretty good that I didnāt get it cause I wouldāve turned around and handed it to my ex $$
To pay her back for helping me get my car out of being repod
For her using some of that ābig ass saleā money that she closed the weekend she left $$
So you know,
Iām still gonna pay her just because I said I would
But I clearly got this shit end of the deal $
I guess it comes down to less than $2000 to find out what a relationship is worth $$
And it might suck in the moment if you ever find yourself losing somebody significant for an insignificant amount of money,
But consider that one of the best expenses you ever get $$$***
I know Iām swerving like hell $
Thatās the point
So if anyone is actually reading this,
then just remember that Iām not doing this to make too much sense $
So sorry, not sorry kind of thing $
And maybe Iām just saying that for my own approval and reassurance $$
But after I could finally get back to my own work,
After about 30 days,
I had to go on the greatest working montage that the suburbs Iāve ever seen $$
There was not a second I let it go to waste for the remaining 30 days I was there $
And I was trying to go at least six months,
Literally up until my final shift when I said ādude fuck this shit I canāt do it anymore. Iāve got to get out now.ā $$
So I went home early that day
And I had finally had two days off in a row
And over that break, I decided I had to leave $
Laughably, knowing there was really no way I was gonna be able to support myself barring a miracle
and finish all the creative work,
And maintain my physical health while my emotional health had deteriorated so rapidly bad that it had begun now deteriorating my physical health $$
Literally when your brain has been hijacked by cortisol and imbalanced dopamine and all
and you cannot eat because your ā medicineā has stolen your hunger,
then itās really like trying to swim while your hog tided $
You ever see that drill where the navy seals having their hands and feet tied and thrown in the water
And forced to swim $
Well, this is obviously like that
Except you pretty much go unconscious every 30 days lol but Iām getting too far off again $
So once I did finally leave, it just became devoting that 10 hours a day to my own work $
And I really havenāt stopped since $$
Lol, the end $
Thanks for letting me share $$$
OK, Iām kidding
kind of $$
I spent another two months writing 24 hours a day almost literally
Figuring out all the numbers and editing all the movements and making them fit in this and that $
While literally hiding from my parents & the world $
And once I finished the actual written work, it became clear that I had to get off the Adderall and detox $
Once I left that job, my health immediately began improving
But only because it stopped deteriorating if that makes sense $
This shit was just balanced enough to where I could make it without actually dying $
But seriously,
if stress can kill,
Which it kills everybody in someway, shape or form,
Then there was a real chance my heart wouldāve simply exploded or given out $
Especially when you consider it was running on Hope and amphetamines $$
So two months after leaving that job, I took my last Adderall $
And while my phone was cut off
And in then middle of the hottest heat wave $
I began my detox and my descent imto complete madness apparently $$
The month of July was basically like my own rehab
I mean, seriously it was equivalent to the shit that I had at the village
just minus the actual physical dangers and a little bit better on the nutrition from a poison perspective $
But My body weight got down to the high 130s $
An 80 pound swing for my highest as an adult of around 210 back in late 2020 $
I hadnāt been that low since I was 14 $
Iām not exaggerating $
To be fair though, this time I didnāt have an ounce of fat left
And I was shredded as fuck $
And I was still throwing around my body weight,
completely fasted
Completely emotionally wrecked
So thereās that $
And I have footage⦠$
Anyhow $
It took me 30 days just to be able to just kind of stabilize and get back to some kind of work $
But during this time was when the family trauma had reached its worst,
And I canāt even repeat some of the things that were said to me,
While I was shaking and detoxing and deteriorating $
And the fact that I didnāt kill myself,
When really that was my biggest threat for most of my adult life,
Is proof positive of the process that Iāve gone through over the past four years $$$
Sometime around mid August is when I began writing the notepad every day beyond just the basics $
Itās when I began doing the legitimate philosophical dumping just to see what I saw $
After a few weeks, I decided that the only way forward was to publish this because it would eliminate any type of bullshit ulterior motives that I have when it comes down to the fitness world $$
Because outside of mental health,
the fitness niche is extremely egoistic and very dishonest
And the ones that are honest, are so completely neurotic that itās almost worse $$
because youāll be feeling like such a failure whenever you canāt do their plan perfectly $$
So during this time is when I decided I had to take a different approach and fully abandon any type of traditional textbook teaching type shit $
And instead, I decided just to record everything and see what floats $$
With the hope that the good shit will eventually rise to the top $$
It didnāt take me long to realize how much fun it was $
And then once it became fun, it became easy, of course $$
And once it became easy, then I could add more to it $
And then suddenly, it would snowball into some shit like this $
When the notepad has changed my life in more ways and I can count $
On a sidenote, I think itās safe to declare Valentineās Day the official muscles and movements holiday $
Because I keep trying to chase back this whole year of craziness and hell and hazing as to when it really began $
And it had to be sometime between this day and Valentineās Day $
Last year Valentineās Day was one of the worst days of my life because it is just how empty & hollow it had become
And how much energy I had recently spent trying to make things work
At the realization that I was now completely trapped going down the wrong way
And even though I didnāt panic, I understood that this is gonna take at least 6 to 9 months to even begin feeling better
And I was 100% right on that one⦠$$
But jumping back to why the notepad starts in September $
Truth is thatās just when I finally could get it going
When I could finally turn my attention towards the fun stuff because of all the programming and science have been done behind the scenes $$
But the reason why Iām not talking too much about the actual nitty-gritty and specifics of the resistance games is because Iāve needed to give it a few months of actual testing and digesting before I start promoting it and taking money for it $
So during that time while Iām letting that cool off, the pendulum has to swing to the other more personal $$
Cause I know, I wouldnāt want to do some shit from some random on the Internet without knowing about him $$
And then thatās my whole ultimate goal is to be the clichĆ© change that I wish to see $$
Beyond that
I really just use the idea of service to try to save myself
And then every now and then some magic happens thanks to the invisible team $$
I think the expression āoverestimating 30 days and underestimating 300 daysā is appropriate $$$
Meaning, most think they can save the world in 30 days,
When they actually could in 300, but they just write themselves off just because of the additional timeline $$
Iāll probably need to clean that up later $
And Iām not even really watching the show lol $
I really didnāt expect to learn as much as Iāve learned about myself in such a little amount of time just from a awareness perspective $$
Like pretty soon,
when I would go back and do my editing,
It became clear that some lines werenāt really āmineā
Like it began to feel like I had just kind of channeled them
Or whenever I get into some rambling flow state, that the words that come out have some seasoning on them if you will $$
And while others became clear that they were all hacky and forced $$
And I have to give myself some grace because literally my entire job for the past 13 years has been some kind of professional hack
So to take all of that and to invert it, but while maintaining the same ultimate goal of serving others and serving myself,
Iāve had to simply do repetition of repetition of creative curating to try to make things a little bit more palpable $$
Ironically, Iāve had to develop a process to make things less processed $$
But I guess thatās a good story of my life moment $
This buzz is buzzing man $
My physical training is getting close to entering legitimate athletes status
Meaning, if I actually push some of my workouts, I might be fucking around with a personal best of someway shape or form $$
Aesthetic personal bests are weird,
Because you canāt really use performance, and resistance numbers or rep volume
Or the mirror is so subjective $$
And you might look better at 175
But this one shirt makes you look like a demigod at 185 with a good pump
And this and that $$
And because if youāre in the peak of aesthetic training, you are months into not giving a fuck about the actual resistance,
So you canāt just turn around and have some kind of performance based work out and properly score it,
Anything above maintenance of course $$
So all of that is really good and Iāve never looked better for 175 thatās for sure $
This is basically from doing nothing but cables and maintenance level body weight/free weight for the past three months $
And I have plenty of notes on my dietary debauchery $
And I have a big stash of the empty graham cracker boxes that Iām gonna turn into some kind of art project lol $
But because my training the past few days has been so thorough and balanced
I finally slept really deep again
And even though it was only four hours, I mean itās equivalent of having a full nights rest $
I guarantee you I could go do a complete 24 hours worth of work right now physically if I had to $
Or anything that require the same physical demand or any role Iāve already done $
But instead, Iām able to have myself a little smoke and vent session $
And the 2 AM smoke is seriously one of my favorite things ever $
It just hits different
Knowing that this is all that we need to worry about $
Itās just such a gift
Iām so grateful for these moments
Thatās why I try to pencil them in as often as I can āļø $
And that midnight mobility after a nice long day of hypertrophy
I mean, thereās just nothing like it $
So Iām probably gonna linger around for another hour or two
About to do some edits from last week I imagine $
Then weāll get some snacks Iām going
And then weāll get some strategies going for the morning movement focused mobility $
And so on and so on $
Iām feeling like I might not write much more tonight because I just went on this whole long spiel $
Weāll see $
Just had a random memory about how in middle school a lot of the dudes didnāt like me because I would beat them in soccer at PE
but I didnāt want to play on the soccer team lol $
If you really want to enhance your ego-
Nothing better than tobacco and alcohol $
⦠Now Iām thinking about that cigarette⦠$
I donāt even know if you could call American Spirit cigarettes $
These things are tobacco joints
I mean for real $
I know itās part of the branding,
all tribal Indian shit
But seriously, that was the strongest tobacco buzz Iāve had since I did a dip in high school $
Woe to those who have not discovered dip is gross as fuck unless youāre one of those strange few that like it $$
Most likely from the backwards or driving some kind of big rig š $$
No disrespect
Personally, I aināt got none against dip
Even though I donāt really like it cause I just buzz so fucking hard on it I canāt seem to get it right $
But yeah, nicotine buzz is a special one $
I just kind of donāt want to smoke cigarettes in my Snuggie lol $
I also Iām starting to think about what Iām gonna do for my next meal $
that chicken was dank but I donāt want it again $
It is 3:11 AM and we are making Texas toast $
Nice $
I donāt feel like doing edits so Iām not gonna lol
But I will in a bit probably after I wake up $
Iām probably gonna try to eat some eggs too $
I donāt know if I logged it, but I started Peaky Blinders but Iām having to bail out for now
Iām kind of feeling some kind of spicy current event documentary on some Fuckery $
Just as I said that I landed on āDahmerā
And I donāt think Iām ready for that yet lol $
Iām gonna try this one called āthe staircaseā
Iāve heard and seen good things about it
And I tried to get into it once upon a time, but couldnāt focus
So weāll see if Iāve changed $
Apparently, Homieās wife dies under suspicious circumstances involving a staircase
I can put two and two together
Specially, when it comes to the steps $$
We bailed out of the staircase and like two other things already if Iām being honest, so Iām just gonna shut up until I find something $
It might sound like a lame challenge at first, but you might have to just take my word for it
If you truly run out of shit to do then, just find some super popular but maybe kind of now obscure trilogy movie series, and force yourself to watch it
And pretend like youāre in rehab
So like something like ānight at the museumā
And just binge that shit
And eat as much box% food as you can while youāre at it
Bonus points if you have to put it in an oven or microwave lol $$*
And then I promise you the next day youāll probably be dying to run to the gym $$
That Texas toast is so fucking good though weāre already making a third slice $
We followed up that third slice with about 4 ounces of green peas š« $
I tried to warn the world that I donāt discriminate much when it comes down to food as long as it has a purpose $
So the main reason why Iām eating that toast is because itās probably the equivalent of anything Iād be eating in a restaurant,
Cheese wise that is
I need to start getting my digestive system acclimated $$
The peas just happened to be there, and I rarely have ever eaten them in isolation so my theory is the toast and the pea should digest relatively quick because bread is bread and because of the fiber in the peas
Itās humble on the protein side, maybe 25 or 30 g $
But thatās still pretty damn good for a snack $
Only those whoāve been in the game for a while remember the whole ā if it fits your macros ā phase $$
We are now watching āaloneā $
I love how Day one is all about filming and they care more about having a camera on them more than anything
āRule number one is always have a camera on youā $
My follow up is with a little bit of berries
No syrup this time though, gotta save that $
Mostly cause Iām about to do a sludge shot and I donāt want to chase my mouth š $
It is 8:32 AM and weāve been awake for about 20 minutes
Slowly meandering through the house, trying to figure out what to do $
And after bouncing a bit, we have decided to start watching the Lincoln lawyer $
Normally, I wouldnāt be watching Netflix when the sun is up
But for some reason, I feel like my routine is beginning to get flipped $
And the nighttime might be redevoted to going out and being social and all that $
And that shit is already beginning to steal my energy
Not in the worst way, but in the most considerate way $
Donāt know who needs to hear this,
but do not wear the cheetah print pants
Just donāt $$$****
Never forget how the revolution wasnāt going so well until the French showed up⦠$$
Most will never know the excitement that comes after closing a big deal without having to sell your soul in the process $$$
It is 9:34 AM. Weāre eating blueberry oatmeal as we prepare for the gym in a bit. $
I say we because the second you become aware of what Iām doing, Iām no longer doing it by myself, even if youāre not in the room with me at the moment physically
But you may be psychologically
Depending on how much of a visual reader you are $$
Remembering how one of the best days of my life came after an ordinary, 2 PM eye doctor appointment
When me & my first major ex, just laid around and watching Netflix for the rest of the day $
#sadbuttrue
Shit, you never wanna hear in sales
-āWhatās your name againā
-āthank you so much. Youāve been so helpful. Butā¦ā $$*
We just did our sun walk and I got to say that was suspiciously warm
I just totally muscled that cold if you will $
I didnāt really need any adjustment Whatsoever either.
Didnāt even have shoes on lol
Busted out the old summer flops $
So now itās time to make some tea and get this party started $
Iām hoping that Iāll be good to go to the gym in about 90 minutes or less $
There is no greater liability than an inability to control your emotions $$$*
It makes more sense to not use them if they always lead you astray $$
But if you master them, then youāll understand the whole meaning behind the word magic šŖ $$

It is 11:02 AM and we are gonna do some reading before we a pre game ritual for the gym $
It is now 1:14 PM and we just got back from planet
It was an amazing back workout $
Iām definitely noticing my hormones are improving in line with everything
I feel far more confident and just overall more masculine
Very similar to how I used to be
Which is making me realize just how impactful what I used to do was $
You start realizing a lot of shit when youāve been in a deficit for four years lol $$*
It is 2:56 PM and I have to run to the store to get some crackers or at least try to
The Cookie Monster is starting to yell $$
To be clear, I donāt have to actually do anything
I could just wait a little longer and probably slip back into recovery mode and then just chill at home all bored and what not but that just sounds lame when I can go eat crackers and then go do some cardio $$*
Yea the carb monster coming out lol $
Fuck traffic $
Weāve got a shit load of carbs now motherfuckers lol
We got two things of chocolate chip cookies
One thing of double stuffed Oreos
And one box of honey graham crackers this time cause theyāre out of the cinnamon still
Oh yeah, and a three dollar bottle of electrolytes, which is the most expensive out of all of them $
Cost less than $10
That is the beauty of poison
Time to show the world what alchemy is all about $$
Kind of lame if you canāt alchemize bad shit you know what I mean $$
And I wouldnāt consider you a very good alchemist if you couldnāt handle your poison $$*
I am fully aware that during my life review is going to be a lot of moments of me just being disappointed at people who are too afraid to take a turn at a reasonable speed $$*
This is how I know the carb monster is fully out is because I am so aggressive right now $
I really need to remember that mint Hill 5 oāclock traffic hits at about 3:15 PM
And is so fucking lame $$$$$$$*****
Goddamn, I really am so bitchy right now
In many ways, this is good because it reminds me I aināt a Jesus $$
So I had to start eating the crackers because so many people are cutting through the fucking parking lot
Literally as I speak, someone nearly hits me $
Shit so annoying
I did play myself tho because now I have to take an even worse left turn, and everybody isnāt even paying attention $
Goddamn, this is bad $
I canāt ever do this again $
AnyWho, Iāve ripped open the crackers while still waiting in the car lol $
Fast-forward to 4:32 PM
Iāve eaten one sleeve of crack
About 10 chocolate chip cookies
Completed some social media work
Completed some resistance games website
Doing some mobility now
And Iām about to go back to the gym to spend some one on one time on that rower $
I am feeling great
Iām feeling good
Just like I know I should $
Who knows what Iām gonna do afterwards,
Probably continue working because Iām starting to pick up some momentum $
It is 5:42 PM and we are leaving the gym and about to swing by the candy store on the way home $
Another glorious cardio session with the first 2/3 on the rower $
Total of 45 minutes and I really donāt know how many calories but it was super easy because of how fueled up I was
Itās note worthy because if this was about two years ago, I wouldnāt even count that as a workout because of how easy it felt $
But when scoring and adding up the numbers, it was probably better than most of my other cardio sessions
I just didnāt have to switch into the oxidative gear if you will $
Movement is the opposite of drugs
Which is why is it so important to use as a weapon in the war on drugs $$
Because the war on drugs is really a war on activity and inability to handle oneās own problems $$*
It is 7:32 PM
Weāve gotten a fair amount of social media stuff ready
And we are also helplessly lost when it comes down to watching anything lol $
Weāve eaten some more crackers
We have upgraded the buzz $
Iād ranking it a good seven out of 10 right on the edge of a sedation
But itās note worthy because I didnāt really take that much of the tablet
I took maybe the equivalent of a full quarter
And it basically feels like what a half wouldāve felt like a month ago $
I also havenāt taken any sludge shots in a long time
And the last one I did in the morning was pretty weak, and I barely felt it $
My caffeine intake is overall cut in half as well
And my first workout was the equivalent of maybe 200 mg at most and my last one mightāve been 100 mg in that last shot
Kind of hard to tell with the squirts $
But thatās pretty big deal
Especially since Iām not feeling any kind of caffeine crash per se $
Which is kind of reminding me of how I used to be
Cause when I used to be in build season
For a few years,
I never really would crash energy wise
Iām just kind of realizing that now because at the time I never really appreciated it because I hadnāt gone through burning and losing pretty much every ounce of spare energy I had on my frame lol $
But basically being starved out over the summer has given me a metabolic efficiency that is next to superhuman apparently $$
And I could not be more grateful
But I am also more and more suspicious that- that is some spiritual fuck shit $
It is a ??? PM and Iām stepping out for a couple drags on the cigarette
I feel like they should be better called tobacco sticks because it doesnāt have too much shit in it apparently $
Iām gonna try to keep it to three basic hits to make sure I donāt get too big of a nicotine buzz $
I just hate putting cigarettes out and reloading them $
That lasted about two minutes $
No complaints for the moment
Iām just trying not to get too big of a buzz like last time $
It is now 8:25 PM and I do not have any emotional energy for anything for some reason so Iām gonna try to go ahead and go to first sleep and take a nap or something $
It is now 11:10 PM and we are getting up after a nice little nap $
Good morning bitches $
It is 12:08 AM $
We are watching Vikings $
Not gonna lie I did not expect to be this engaged
Itās really more the lore than it is the storyline if Iām being honest $
I just canāt stop thinking about what I wouldāve done back then $
And how I find myself drawn to the whole warrior raider lifestyle
Certainly compared to being some monk or some shit $
Which is ironic, cause thatās kind of what this life has turned into $$
As long as it leads down the Jedi path soon $$
Thatāll be cool $
Iāll go ahead and note for the record that while my buzz is not that strong, it is consistent $
My tolerance continues to work in reverse with the 7 hydroxy ,
the more active and the more I train it seems $$
Which is really pretty amazing $
But it reinforces the pathway and how it works & all of that
Because it is a very physically dominant substance $
You really donāt need much to get a mental lift $
Iām also finding the stronger doses to be more uncomfortable in a good way $
Same with cannabis
I mean, Iām going through maybe .6 of a gram a day $
So if you want to call that crazy,
Then I would question your criteria,
and I would then ask how many parties youāve been to⦠$$$
I keep saying all the time there are cups of coffee stronger than the amount of shit that I consume in a daily basis $$$
And if you donāt believe me, then I challenge you to go to Starbucks and get a quadruple espresso
On an empty stomach
But four hours after having a shit load of carbs $$$*
Then you tell me which is more mind and mood altering $$$
I swear,
you can get more fucked up just by scrolling social media $$$*
Or texting that toxic group chat that you refuse to leave $$$*
Or replying to your ex⦠$$$*
Donāt mind me with my casual cannabis and Kratom $$
I canāt even remember offhand the last bit of alcohol i had
but I know I made a note about it lol $$
So itās on a wall on the site somewhere $$
One thing Iām actually most proud of is the fact that Iām not even taking pre-workout these days
And yet my physique is probably arguably at an all-time best $
But Iām definitely not going for a traditional bodybuilding
As if you couldnāt tell, lol $
But to build the ultimate functional machine
Capable of with standing any bullshit
And alchemizing it along the way $$
And as long as youāre under 10% body fat, youāre gonna look pretty damn good no matter what lol $$**
Thatās the real secret $$
I also am convinced that if you can maintain 10% for over three years,
Then you pretty much have it locked in for life $$*
Unless you deliberately throw it all away $$
Ironically, once youāve been a prisoner,
then you can finally be free
But youāll never really know freedom until you know imprisonment $$*
So if you havenāt been in a position to which youāve lost your leverage,
Then I suggest maybe getting a little proactive with the amends so that way itās not so shitty when it arrives $$*
Hereās a fun intellectual exercise Iāve been meaning to do,
Iām gonna do my best to retrace my steps as to what I mightāve been doing on this day for the past however many years
Until I get bored or distracted, of course $
So last year this time, I was probably sitting in the same seat watching everything that Iāve been working for pretty much implode, $
But not to be all melodramatic or a victim because I was simply making a lot of incorrect decisions $$
and was in the process of learning some pretty lifelong lessons if you know what Iām saying $
So no resentment and no harm no foul at this point $$$
But that was literally the definition of heartbreak and never have I been so alone $$
Except technically now I am more alone, but I just donāt feel like it lol $$
So two years before that in 2024,
I probably also wouldāve been in the same seat,
but it wouldāve been on the front side of the relationship with all the optimism and hope in the world $
I wouldāve been wrapping up two years of working pretty much like a mad man,
coaching all the time,
preparing to really get to work on the science and the resistance games and all of that,
Which meant writing 16 hours a day instead of hanging out in the gym $$
Also, this was beginning the process of experimenting with other therapeutic mind and mood altering substances such as my MDMA and LSD but thatās for another wall lol $$$
I hadnāt quite done it yet (either)
And I guess if Iām gonna be very specific
I still had about 45 days of full-time in person coaching left, $
In 2023 wouldāve been just coming out out of the winter cave so to speak
I wouldāve been at Anytime Fitness
And beginning more intensive BJJ training
Very much Boot Camp vibes $
2022. I wouldāve been in the middle of going through all that testing bullshit to get my personal training certification.
I wouldāve also been dealing with some major bullshit from my real estate employer
This moment wouldāve been about 45 days before being āterminated for performanceā
And this is a whole Nother thing for another wall,
but this was basically a situation in which they manipulated some variables to lean on the unreasonable side to get me off the books
Which they did me a favor,
Cuz I was probably going to resign within a couple months anyway
They just lit another fire under my ass
And a week after they terminated me, I was certified lol $
Kind of like how when they fired me from sales, that same weekend I was already beginning to get my RE license.. $
In 2021 I wouldāve been at my most lowest mental health point in my entire life
Combination of many factors,
Covid and its social side effects being the most significant & this was 11 months into having barely any formal in person meetings,
and the gym was a whole Nother story as far as where you could go, and if you had to wear a mask which basically suffocated you mid work out & this and that $
Man, thereās a whole lot of meat on that bone that I need to go into $
Who remembers working out with the face mask and that being more dangerous than the fucking pathogen in itself $$$***
I remember sitting in a random driveways wanting to die
And this wasnāt the cute kind of suicidal ideation either
This was āI am very desperately and quickly losing hope because Iāve been a good person for my entire adult life and Iāve run out of optionsā
And the last thing Iād ever do is be a victim, but this is literally the definition of being victimized by bullshit $$$*
My hormones were probably fucked because my training was so muscle focused that I wasnāt really getting outside and I was gaining more body fat more than muscle $$
I was getting so big I could barely fit into my Mercedes
And ass sure shit wasnāt comfortable lol $$
My employment was at least somewhat consistent, and I had some financial comfort
Which you could argue played into my depression because all I would do is watch Netflix and play video games and hope to meet somebody on some dating app $$**
2020 wouldāve been right before Covid actually hit
Sidenote, the last official meeting I really went to before Covid hit, I spoke at
itās street name is ācame to conceive ā $
I donāt know if it even meets anymore or if it ever revived after Covid
But just kinda ironic that right after I picked up my eight year chip and spoke there, they shut down all meetings $
Excluding the parking lot meet ups at the 10 PM uptown meeting $$
Thereās a whole Nother page as far as antics about 10 PM or late night meetings $$$
And how I spent a decade going to one daily and then was forced to start going to a different one because the first one was overrun by lunatics
But thatās recovery for you baby $$**
Back to the plot
This is technically when I was doing the in-home sales stuff
And I guess this week wouldāve been when I made my first couple sales or maybe when I was in the middle of it $
And if you want to talk about soul rotting daily pressure,
man,
That job ruined everything energy wise for me
Despite actually logging some pretty good STR workouts during the time because itās really all I could do to not blow my head off $
To help paint a more precise picture,
It was very common to walk away with five or $10,000 per sale
And it usually didnāt take longer than 2 to 4 hours to close a deal with a random customer $$
The whole job is to show up to these āprequalified leadsā and sell them roofs and windows for as much as you possibly could $$*
Then whatever the cost was after the job itself,
you would split with sales management
But of course, the sales management had it slated to be completely imbalanced $$*
But you still pocket four figures for just a couple hours of work $$
I know cause those checks cleared and I spent them lol $$
I am glad to say that i never sold a shitty job tho,
I think I only sold three or four my entire time
But thatās within 30 days and thatās being brand new to that craft $
But yes, I digress
I guess my ego was just wants the world to know that if I wanted to,
I could go to one of these sleazy places and within a Month or two max make enough money to clear my debts $$
Or I could reactivate my real estate license and probably clear everything within 6 months $$
And while those two things are true and realistic because Iāve done it,
It would come with an opportunity cost,
One I am not willing to bear š» $$$*
In 2019 wouldāve been probably peak āfuck boy phaseā
I wasnāt too terrible or anything,
I was just about as clichƩ as a 25-year-old in a polo with a new real estate license and Mercedes could be $$
I was also in this really toxic āon and off ā again relationship with a glorified slam piece $$
Not even trying to be crash,
she would probably stay worse about me lol š $$
Emphasis on the toxic $$$
But it was pretty fun
And you learn a lot about yourself with the right slam piece
Just saying $$$*
It is 12:31 AM and weāre gonna take a brief break And pick back up at 2018 $
Spoiler alert I was in the sales center, and it was kind of lame $
Just threw two French bread pizzas in the oven and ate about six cookies
Classic chocolate chip this time
And dude,
I gotta say the Food Lion generic brand are probably better than anything else
Cheaper and as far as ingredients go, they are are as clean as youāre going to get for a fucking processed rocket fuel $
Yes, they do have some high fructose corn syrup in it
but itās less than 2% $
And thatās a whole Nother debate if you really wanna come at me over the HFC,
I already admit that itās a poison ā ļø $
But Iām literally trying to give the world the playbook to handle poison $$
Remember the expression āhave your cake and eat it tooā $
Which is 100% possible if youāre willing to employee some unorthodox techniques $$
And I would say you have not lived until you have mixed cannabis, Kratom, & midnight pizza mobility,
With your Saga of choice $$
Sidebar we started the movie āhitmanā
Itās a comedy
And itās pretty funny so far $
Iāll update more later $
And then Iāll probably get back to that whole yearly check-in soon $
But eight years is pretty good for one evening lol so if I donāt then stay tuned for another day $
Iām looking at an actor who looks almost identical to me at the moment
Ponytail, body fat percentage everything $
I hope this isnāt turning into another summer situation when the walls started talking to me
Now that Iām writing everything down, itāll fully just make me seem super crazy lol $$
Giving advice and sharing wisdom are not the same thing
But an amateur wouldnāt know that would they $$$*
Mostly because they donāt have much wisdom yet
But had certainly received a ton of advice that they are happy to regurgitate $$$*
It is now 2:21 AM and I believe the pizzas are finally starting to process so that means I should be able to go to sleep here soon and go ahead and do a victory hit now after we just finished last week $
Another night, another movie simultaneously watched and ignored $
My furnace which has been killing it for the past two days is suddenly suspiciously quiet⦠$
AnyWho, itās 2:35 AM and weāre going back to second sleep $
It is 6:04 AM and we are getting up $
It is now 7:15 AM and Iām not gonna lie. Iām getting a little squirmy. $
I kind of feel like going to the gym, but I think that might just be the buzz talking $
In other news, I do think I actually probably will go soon $
It is now 7:40 AM and I just ate a bunch of cookies
I mean, I pretty much ate the rest of the chocolate chips minus like five $
So weāll see what the future holds lol $
In other news, it seems as if my furnace has gone back on vacation
I mean, bro it literally came on perfect for 2 days
Youāre gonna tell me that itās broken & that it doesnāt know what itās doing? $
But itās kind of nice because I can tell my body is heating itself nicely while the temperature begins to drop $
Iāve also begun prepping for todayās deep clean
And Iām very proud of myself for how much progress Iāve made so for $
It is 931 and Iām doing my son walk $
It was windy and about 35° and I wasnāt cold at all
Just reinforces, my body is adapting & adjusting to the cold $
I mean, this is pretty incredible. That was like a hack. $
I only had a flannel & two layers on
The last couple times I had all kinds of shit lol $
I was fully fueled and borderline restless, though with all the carbs and cookies so that was my secret $$
I love philosophy because once you boil everything down, you realize the similarities behind all things $$
It is 10:31 AM and I am finishing up the box of honey graham crackers $
All conditions are building to a glorious leg workout here in a couple hours $
Iām thinking Iām gonna try to go just after noon
Or late afternoon, depending $
I was laying around on the floor for the past hour pretty beat and tired, not wanting to do anything
Canāt call it a crash, but kind of felt like I was plunging deep into recovery mode $
I got up to go do a sludge shot and embrace the chilling for the day and maybe bumping legs to tomorrow $
And somewhere along the way between here and the kitchen, I began to feel some motivation building back up $
And now Iām starting to really want to go to the gym lol $
I think those crackers are starting to kick in $
Wisdom is knowing the weekends are the highest risk for having strangers come up to your door,
prospecting for business or soliciting $$**
After that shot and a little bit more cleaning and a little bit of squirt,
we are on the way to the gym with newfound energy and motivation
And I really think more than anything that has to do with my circadian rhythm and more ego motivation $
Iāll go into this more later, but this is the classic routine shit $
It is 2:57 PM and we have been home for about an hour
We laid on the floor for a bit and make some more cookies and now smoking some more weed before we get back to work š $$
Just thinking about how pretty much everybody that smokes weed is at least kind of cool
But everybody who smokes and actually operates normally,
is very cool š $$**
Weed people are better than wine people but most potheads have been slacking off as of late while all the alcoholics canāt stop working $$$***
Iām gonna go ahead and log another gain bowl $
Unrelated, kind of funny how I just realized yesterday who was actually playing in the Super Bowl
And what do you know,
itās the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks
I think lol I honestly canāt even say for sure $
Just had another gain bowl
This time, just rice and beef and butter though
And of course, some Texas Pete hot sauce
Always hot sauce $$
It is now 5:45 PM
Everything is good, but our motivation has vanished $
After bouncing around between a few different options on Netflix, weāre gonna go with āyouā $
I remember when it first came out and it was really good
I think I saw the first two seasons before it started to turn a little bit $
It is 6:20 PM and we have cracked open a beer
Still one of the Bud Lightās that I bought damn near a year ago
And I still have one left $
Which may or may not get drank tonight
I was thinking about drinking them tomorrow $
But Iām kind of flip flopping $
Iām thinking that the MK might complement my water retention
So the beer might be timed well $
Also considering the last two things I ate were ānutritiousā,
And the last had a fair amount of beef, which is always good before drinking anything $
Iām not gonna lie
the part in the show where Beck gets on stage to read her poetry and expose her dream and all of that was very touching $
And somehow strangely inspiring $
So far so good and I think I might be able to watch season one and two with like a refresh
Weāll see if we make it to season five⦠$
I will confess that I am craving cookies
And I still have those two completely full bag/boxes
So sidenote, what do you call those things?
Like the resealable plastic box that is also a bag
Do we just say thing?
Can I just say Cookie things? $
Is that gonna sound super weird in the future?
What if other people will tune in later and Iām just saying āCookie thingsā and they have no idea what Iām talking about and then suddenly my dreams of being a writer are never realized. $
Lol, of course Iām obviously kidding $$$
Who gives a fuck if my dreams are realized because thereās itās much fun just writing to begin with $$
And alas, we have arrived back at another secret $$
Just like weightlifting
Youāre probably gonna suck for a while, but then your technique gets pretty good and then you change your life in all of the strangest & smallest ways $
Just donāt expect anybody else thatās not familiar with the technique to understand $$$
It is now 8:31 PM $
We have enjoyed a partial cigarette
Saw some cool lights and stars
Some suspicious movements too $
We have done a lot of social media prep stuff $
We ate about 4 ounces of ground beef with four eggs and some tater tots. $
It is now 854 and weāre gonna go ahead and go to first sleep $
Yāall gonna be mad at me
I drank the full first beer,
but only maybe a quarter of the second
So Iām pouring out the rest for the Homies
And to flex on alcoholism, I guess lol $$
Cause I guess thatās better than the alternative of chugging and then being stressed out about buying more $$
My furnace is off lol $
Good morning world $
It is 12:21 AM
We are getting to the movies now $
Picking up on episode three of āyouā $
I wanna roast this bitch so bad (Beck)
But I understand sheās just playing a character $
So instead, I will give her kudos for good acting š $
Even if this isnāt one big simulation for character development, itās still better to hang out with those who think it is $$$**
The real secret is most of what you write is gonna be shit anyway $$
And most wonāt be able to determine good literature from just random words on a wall
Ask me how I know $$*
And honestly, on a more personal note, that is one of my favorite things about all of this
Wether with weightlifting or writing,
it is more fun to flex with high productivity than it is with high neuroticism $$*
So far you gotta give the writers credit for making Joe so fucking creepy
But you can kind of tell that the style of the show is gonna get old unless something drastic happens
But when the whole point of your show is to do drastic shit then be cautious about over playing your hand $
For the real resistance games,
you donāt even get credit until it falls in the category of something you genuinely donāt want to do
Doesnāt have to be something super crazy or all that intense
It just has to be something to where moments before if you were to take a full proof polygraph,
you would honestly swear off than rather proceed on
And assuming whatever it is, youāre about to do is actually ethical,
that is when you receive your extra energy points $$
Otherwise, you get standard energy points for doing whatever it is
Whether youāve gotten used to it or not $$
So that is the one downside to becoming used to doing righteous and genuine acts
Is that you can become somewhat blind to your own awesomeness $$
There really are only two types of people in the world;
Those who have met themselves and those who have spent every moment avoiding that moment $$$***
It is now 12:59 AM
I have completed my mobility $
Most dudes do not know how to actually ābeat it upā
If you know what Iām saying
If you donāt know what Iām saying,
Then just find any attractive woman and ask her to be honest about her history
And youāll find out real quick $$
But the kicker is
if you know what youāre doing in the bedroom,
You donāt actually have to go around broadcasting it or proving it
And those who have experienced it can pick up on the vibe,
Commonly referred to as ābig dick energyā $$
You can tell whoās never satisfied a significant other $$*
My sex history has literally been pretty much all over the place
Except anything actually illegal
But I have found myself on many strange dates and in many strange holes
Good, bad and ugly, but all ethical & consensual $$
Even the closest friends can have fucked up motives, half the time
And usually most friendships are developed on the back of some significant bullshit
Usually some existential circumstantial community type $$
Just thinking more about how it really wasnāt intentional, but this whole notepad strategy has become the ultimate flex on writers block $$
Cause you can say a lot of things, but you canāt say Iām suffering from that shit lol
But I made creativity, my bitch $$$&$$$
Didnāt say it was good creativity or even if it had to be $$
It is 1:39 AM and we have finished last weekās review. Weāve upgraded the buzz and we have gotten another sleeve of cookies. $
The sleeve of cookies isnāt the right thing to say,
Itās more like a column,
Cause then that weird plastic box bag thing they come in, comes divided in thirds of course $
So this is the second third of my second box bag $
And I am not even gonna try to say Iām gonna slow down $
I swear, these carbs keep going to the right place so Iām gonna keep sending them and answering the call $
Allow yourself to stay cold manually & heat yourself.
Itās better viewed as a defensive strategy because your bodyās not gonna want to store extra calories as fat when it can quickly just burn them for body heat $$
Itās kind of like how defense wins championships lol $$
*finishes 7th cookie šŖ $
Iām telling the world to stop sleeping on the Food Lion generic brand cookies cause they are so good $$$
Out of all the generic supermarket brands I have tried. Iāve got to say Food Lion is the best.
Itās as cheap as Aldi usually
And I have found the quality to be often better & the ingredients overall cleaner than even the most popular brand name
But especially with carbs
Because that is where youāre gonna find the most fuckery $$
Itās with a massive major food companies who have corporatized everything to cut nutrients for profit because they have the greatest marketing team $$$***
And that is the dirty secret that most businesses either donāt know or donāt want you to know
A top-tier marketing team and sales team is far more important for your short-term success than quality products $$$**
But eventually, youāll be dead to rights in the long run $$$
Speaking of runs
I swear I could go on a long one because of the cookies and the Kratom $
And I bet you within one to two months I actually will be going on run starting at two or 3 AM
Maybe not every day but Iāve got to get ready to do 24 hours straight
And if I want to do it without it sucking too terribly bad
Then Iām gonna need to be able to eat cookies while actively running without puking or shitting myself $$*
So you can see how far ahead my spiritual clock really is wink wink $$*
*Grinder squeak š $
Some emojis are cuter than others $$
I have conditioned myself in a positive PTSD fashion
Every time I get a buzz, I start getting chatty philosophically and writing a lot $$
āHow can I take advantage of this momentā $
Also, a friendly reminder that trauma works in reverse
You can experience something so lovingly profound that it changes your paradigm forever forward,
And if this happens to come at the end of a long line of serious traumas in that actually just belittles the original trauma in the best way
Because it proves that you can go through hell and recover and experience love and joy to such a high degree that itās better than if you never had the original trauma to begin with $
*Lighter flick $
It is 3:06 AM and we are finishing the last bit of the chewy chocolate chip cookies $
That might be a record
I think I mightāve eaten two full things of cookies in the past 24 hours
And a entire box of graham crackers $
But when I tell you that my sleeves are hugging tight
Just know, I mean it
I swear to God
If I can have 6000 cal of cookies & burned a lil fat,
Then I do not know what else to do to prove magic $$
In all seriousness, though, Iām indulging to try to get it out of my system, emotionally more than anything
But if I needed fuel, that really is the best thing from a digestion standpoint $
Yes, yes I know it is rocket fuel and I know it is borderline poison
But it is designed to process as fast as possible
And at the current moment,
my muscles are screaming at me
And if I refill them then emotionally speaking, Iām gonna be a much happier camper,
considering Iām basically camping because of the whole heat situation $$
Just to emphasize, Iām not complaining about the heater
I could fix the furnace in one afternoon if I wanted
Iām just having too much fun fucking around with this shit
And like I just said the other day,
Iām getting so good at heating myself up in the cold that I can tell Iām improving on that adaptation as well. $
But it is a risky game and when youāre living life as a sports car, you gotta be careful $$
Because the downside to the cookies is they can go to my head
And Iām already standing and swinging and thatās just from the last round $
But dare I say
I prepared for this
And I still have an entire half of the seven hydroxy tablet $
But before I ate the last batch of cookies, I took a sludge shot while my stomach was mostly empty again
So now I get to enjoy that buzz for the next 45 minutes or so while these cookies digest and then I will be in perfect position to take a quarter tab and drift off peacefully to sleep sometime around five or 6 AM ideally
And I should be able to time that tablet right when the second batch of cookies kicks in
So I can either Read or continue finishing up some social media shit $
And that my friends is modern Day alchemy $
Happy 3:13 AM
š $$
You know, I know what I was just saying about my plan and strategic timing at all
But I certainly feel kind of sleepy so I think Iām gonna go lay back down
Iām probably just gonna meditate, but I will likely fall asleep $
So who knows whatās gonna happen next? $
Either a
The cookies are still below my calorie reserve and will be stored quickly
meaning I wonāt be restless or have a random surge of energy $
Or b
theyāre gonna kick- in in about 90 minutes and Iām gonna wake back up ready to run
And I might just do it cause thatāll be around 4:20 AM $
So this is part of the fun of living life as a true philosopher as you really donāt know what the fuck is ever about to happen $$
It is 7:30 AM and I am briefly getting up. I was wrong about the cookies in a good way because I ended up just sleeping through pretty much. $
But itās kind of weird cause I wanna keep sleeping, but I also donāt
So I guess Iām going to smoke as much as I can
Wait for that shot I took to kick in
And see what happens $
But yes, the goal is to rest and be as much of a slob as I can today $
I know I say that shit and it never plays out $
Not sure how but the hardest thing for me to do is just sit still on a Sunday
I have to spend all week training for this
By exhausting myself physically,
and making sure I have gotten all of my affairs in order to counter any type of intellectual self-condemnation $
But this is a common challenge for those who are traumatized
Just trying to make it through the day without any type of emotional fuel left $$$
Everyone thinks theyāre tough until they run out of dopamine
And if you donāt know what itās like to be actually out of dopamine or serotonin, then shut the fuck up
Enough of ā just push through itā bullshit
I have at least 30,000 training hours and most of them motherfuckers were reluctant to some degree
But at a certain point youāre just logging hours in a weird perverse competition of seeing who can suffer more $$$
You gotta know what to let go too $$$
Most adults are passive aggressive children
And even though they might not throw full on temper tantrums, they usually do it silently and in the form of swearing off or making invisible covenants with their lower natures
Usually in the form of contempt prior to investigation $$$***
If you do it without any type of guidance or mentor, then you get psychic double bonus energy points $$$**
The fact that I feel this good and I crave cookies this little is evidence that my strategy is working $$
Because if I was carb dependent then at this point, I would be craving more $
It is now 10:38 AM and I am awake
And we are slowly getting ready for the day $
Feeling a little hungry
And yes, my first instinct was to rip into cookies so Iām just being honest $
It is now 11:33 AM
We did a sun walk a little over an hour ago and actually found a little rolling chair
So thatās pretty dope
I mean, it fits perfectly in the living room for my little table
And can also go to my office under my desk if needed
Talk about a gift š $
Also, just smashed a chicken gain bowl
Still moving slow from a energy perspective, but might be like caffeine related
Or just being in recovery mode, cause I can tell my body is beat to shit $
Muscle focus means youāre gonna need new clothes
Movement focus means youāre not gonna need clothes at all
If that makes sense $$$**
That should make sense
itās very simple lol $
It is 1:05 PM
We are eating pizza and watching season three of Narcos
Iām giving it another try
I like the first season when it was more of a story being told
Now itās just kind of a drama
Not bad itās just hard to keep up with when you have to read most of it even though I prefer that $
That pizza was so good that it counts as training because if I can make it through that pizza then I shouldnāt have a problem, digestion or micro biome wise if I go back out to eat $
Not to brag, but for many years, I could live off the midnight pizzas without getting too fat
I wasnāt no Shreddy Krueger though so I gotta be a little careful
But Iāll know come Wednesday morning, how these cookies and pizza are really settling $$
ātis the season though this week before Valentines week is really the ultimate bulking week
I donāt make the rules. I just begrudgingly follow them when I can. $
Oh hell, Iām gonna force myself to go do a little walk
Itās still like 36° so that counts for something
And I only have a light jacket on $
It is now 5:27 PM
Weāve been pretty much on the floor all day ārecoveringā
Try to run and grab some candy, but both stores were closed so that was a little bit bittersweet
But probably for the best $
I was gonna grab a tablet and get to work but itās probably best that Iām forced to take a day off so I donāt start spewing out extra bullshit lol $
But the sun is setting and I am feeling definitely on the restful sleepy side so as long as I donāt fight the flow, I think Iām doing the right thing
And I think tomorrow Iāll be right as rain $
It is 6:27 PM and I finished all the Oreos officially $
So, so far today, Iāve had
One chicken gain bowl
One red baron pepperoni pizza
One entire thing of double stuffed Oreo cookies
A glass of berries
Some tea with some sugar
And obviously a bunch of water $
Ton of water really $
So all in all thatās gonna be about 150 g of protein
And around 3500 cal
So really thatās not that crazy
Considering my furnace has been off pretty much all day for the most part
And Iāve been self heating and self chilling if you will $
3500 cal was my maintenance at my biggest anyway
And if Iām being honest , while I was doing a lot of hypertrophy training, I wasnāt doing it anywhere near the level of efficiency that I am now.
So my workouts now would score probably double or triple what they used to
Which means that my muscles alone are extra spongy and thatās kind of like cheating when it comes down to demands $$
Thatās where all these cookies go
As long as I eat them when my muscles tell me to
And make sure I get nutrition when they tell me to do that $$
Cause thatās another note is that there are distinctly different cravings $$
And after eating a bunch of cookies, I donāt even wanna look at them for a while until after Iāve eaten real food $$
So itās pretty crazy how that works $$
And I noticed a distinct difference in my emotions after the energy from the cookies has kicked in $$
Not like I was too bad off beforehand, but once they kicked in, you could say I didnāt need to rest any longer if I didnāt want to $$
So I can tell their accelerating my recovery time as long as Iām not getting too greedy and I spaced things out $$
I am micro dosing a lot of different movements, though
whenever the sugar rush kicks in
Such as holding the kettle bell
Holding or doing a bunch of slow Mo split squats
Or dead, hang, and dip holds $$
Nothing crazy just somewhere between 13 to 31 seconds or until I really donāt wanna hold on any longer
Or start getting a little bit of a pump
It helps signal that my nervous system just enough $$
That plus the walks to ensure that my body is keeping its internal heater on standby $$
One little secret is by bundling up, but leaving my hands face and feet exposed
It helps you avoid overheating
But it also signals your body to continue burning internally $$
And I keep coming back down to the benefits of whenever your body is burning shit off
Iām convinced that when your body is heating itself, it is almost like being in a fasted state without being fasted $$*
I mean, thereās a reason why exercise provides a whole host of benefits
Because if itās signaling to your nervous system to get rid of waste and to repair shit and to use extra energy before it goes to your emotions $$*
And once again, this is quite literally having your cake and eating it too
Because I get to eat as many cookies as I want, and Iām not even cold
And my workouts are getting better and better and better $$*
I have to brush my teeth a lot more often though lol
And thatās kind of annoying part but thatās no big deal $
I think itās time to finish this last bit of a cigarette
Shit is taking me three days lol
But thatās better than the other way around $
And this is an American spirit and these bitches always take forever $
Before I check the temperature, Iām trying to guess what itās like outside
I mean it feels like super warm maybe like fucking 50° but I think itās probably high 30s $
Well, itās mid 30s
But yeah, a couple months ago at the beginning of winter I would probably be bugging out right now
But instead, the cold feels good
Kind of like how the mobility stick feels when youāre sore
You would think more movement would be the last thing you need, but itās usually the best thing for you $$$**
If the cigarette helps the carbs from the cookies from kicking in too hard,
Then I will also have rediscovered an ancient alchemy secret from the program $$
Because every meeting you go to is stocked up with coffee, caffeine and nicotine $$
Unless youāre had a pretty lame one that has banned smoking cause that was pretty common before I left $
But I remember there were a couple of meetings that were big popular young people hotspots that would have big crowds of people smoking
often in corners or across the street $$
Probably the same groups of people that will end up coming across my shit, lol just given the nature of the audience $$
Cause back then, all we would do is stand around in circles and talk shit about whatever would pop up $
Just thinking back to how many joints and blunts Iāve smoked in the side of my house
When it used to be my grandmaās house,
It was the blind spot,
And we used to have a jeep parked back there on the side driveway
Or my friends would just turn the lights off in their car and sneak into the driveway pull up to the side
And we would just hotbox the car $$
I even discovered a little note I wrote on the siding last summer when I was doing yardwork.
It was something about a blunt from September in 2011 lol
Which is hilarious $
This really is the ultimate training house
I canāt wait till they repave the cul-de-sac and then it becomes the ultimate skateboarding spot too $
Iām gonna revive the back ravine area and itāll be the ultimate oasis $$
The house itself is already converted into a functional gym and recovery center $$
And I just see so much future potential for it
Just gotta get a little get cash lol $
But yeah, it is 646 and Iām just kind of chilling on the front steps, enjoying the night air now even though my cigarette is out $
This is kind of what Iāve been hoping for is to slowly edge back into my old evening, social routine
even if it involves nicotine $$
Iām not gonna get on social media right now
But it is my intention to revisit this tomorrow evening $
Iām gonna probably try to do the morning and the evening $
I really need to get back to engaging with the public instead of posting and ghosting
But fuck scrolling
Which kind of makes me a hypocrite, not gonna lie $
But Iād gladly go down someone elseās rabbit hole if you know what Iām saying š $
Like further evidence that my bodyās heaters are working overtime-
I am outside and it is much colder outside than inside
My feet were cold before coming outside
And now theyāre actually pretty warm even though theyāre against the cold ground
The rest of me is also very warm
So Iām convinced that the past few weeks of being in the teens without any real heat, have resulted in a very impressive adaptation
Or at least proof That if your fuel is on the inside, you can overcome cold $$
Not trying to get too carried away, obviously
Because anyone living north of Virginia, probably is laughing at me right now $$
But hey, if thatās the case, I would just challenge them to come spend the middle of August here in the woods with me
In all black
As we backpack at least 26.2 miles
Then we shall see which elements are preferred $$$$$$$****
Pretty crazy to think that the Super Bowl is going on right now
And my old favorite team is playing
And I could care less
I havenāt seen a single game all year $
Catching the highlights in the gym doesnāt count because theyāre all so chopped and screwed anyway $
It is 7:34 PM and we are going to first sleep
I could tell my body is starting back itās heater and lowering its temperature to actually sleep sleep $
More on this later, maybe $
It is 11:08 PM and we are awake $
And it looks like the Seahawks won the Super Bowl
So I guess they got their revenge
11 years later
Good for them $$
Iām only able to say that cause Iāve put some distance between myself and football $
AnyWho, I guess weāre gonna watch āBlack mirrorā and see what happens $
Finishing up some mobility now $
Getting ready for the great reset $
In three⦠$
Two⦠$
One⦠$
Happy new day $
It is now Monday $
It feels like the start of a new cycle somehow someway
Who knows honestly $
And who knows how much longer Iām gonna be awake $
I swear
I would go to the gym right now if I could $
But if I can kill another five hours, then Iāll be good $
I keep striking out on shit to watch on Netflix though $
Vikings has become more or less a background show
Peaky Blinders is starting to get a little bit more interesting again
But Iām kind of tired of that for the moment $
I am not really hungry, but I kind of want to eat $
Iām not really craving much, which is good $
I wonāt lie
This sludge shots are starting to do their job
But this is after a few days of them being pretty weak honestly $
Reinforcing my theory,
likely once and for all,
When youāre doing the shot or the tea method,
you basically need double what you would the capsule method
And you also essentially cut the time it takes to kick in by 2/3 or at least a half if not a little bit better $$
However, sometimes the dosing can be pretty hit or miss with the tea or the shot method
and you could accidentally do a heavy dose therefore jacking up your tolerance pretty quickly $
That is one advantage to the capsules it is that they take longer to really affect your tolerance $$
And youāll likely start getting constipation before you start abusing actual capsules $$
Happy 12:21 AM $
The buzz is so good. Iām considering another midnight cigarette š¬ $
I just had a bowl of berries for the fiber mostly
But Iām suspicious that if Iām awake for too much longer then Iām probably gonna want to eat a real bowl $
That is the benefit to the buzz
Iām pretty much ready to begin a full days worth of work
Compared to just previously wanting to bundle up like a larva and stay that way till the end of time $
You spend enough time feeling like that then you start realizing how time was created to begin with $$
It is now 12:49 AM and the energy that I was talking about is beginning to fade in a good way after doing last weekās edits $
So Iām hoping to have this timed out perfectly $
To get up in about four hours,
Do a little bit more social work, and then hit the gym $
AnyWho will call the shift with that
Itās a āgood night worldā for now
See you soon $
Real soon š $$
It is now 5:15 AM and I am awake
I do not want to do anything lol
But there is a part of me that does actually want to go to the gym $
There is also a legitimate part of me that is wants to go back to bed and wants to go to the gym later after sunrise $
And Iām honestly not quite sure which is a better option $
Nine times out of 10
I would just have to get up and go but
First of all, Iāve been doing that for the past four years and itās taking its toll emotionally $
Second
Because Iām supposed to keep doing that especially come spring and summer $
Actually, I just realized Iām bullying myself $$
literally the only reason why I donāt gonna get up
Is because I feel like itāll make me weak
Or that it is somehow the easy way $$
But this is the time of year to sleep in
Conserve energy for the middle of the day
To maximize growth $$
In a weird way, I want to go now to capture my carbs, which is flawed thinking $
It is 6:25 AM
We just ate a pretty big chicken gain bowl $
I will confess that I am craving cookies
And this is probably 100% psychological
So thatās bittersweet
Literally lol $
But we shall see how I feel once this chicken bowl kicks in $
Because it could just be a matter of timing
Which is usually the case when weāre talking processed foods and fuels
You only crave them because they kick in much faster
And the body loves the easy route $
Weāre gonna lay on the floor and force ourselves to try to relax and āgainā and eat as much as we can for a session around noon most likely $
And if come 8 oāclock, I still am craving some stuff then Iām busting out the blueberry oatmeal with syrup
I said it $
*Plays mainly Hal āSaint Paul, the initiate apostleā $
It is 9:20 AM and we are on the way to planet after a cold shower and a little bit of caffeine and all that $
Just thinking how
telepathy is just peak consideration and Conscientiousness $$$***
Leaving the Food Lion now
It is 11:14 AM
Had an amazing chest and shoulders and triceps workout
We got some fuel and some food $
We got a good bit of anxiety, but thatās to be expected $
We have notably, more excitement than anxiety though about the same tasks
So thatās a pretty big deal $$
We got 90 eggs
Two boxes of cookies
Two boxes of crackers
Two cans of black beans
And some cat licks for the buddy $
It is 1:06 PM
I am getting a good bit of work done
Iāve eaten 1/3 of the crackers and cookies
And it is pretty remarkable how much fuel Iām burning through $
I donāt have any heaters on or anything and I feel great
But Iām actually going through more fuel than I expected $
I know that sounds crazy $
It is 4:18 PM and we are running by the Food Lion for a second time to do a little cashback maneuver on the way to the gym to do a little Bill paying maneuver thatās a little bit of a unorthodox technique, but it should work
Weāre gonna go buy black tea $
It is 5:20 PM and we have returned home after a lovely cardio session
I did not get carried away
I almost did get carried away, though I wonāt lie
It was just a fine Shawty, that I was really trying not to look at
And I really didnāt look at
But if Iām being completely honest, I mightāve caught a glimpse of the glutes
It was one of those mostly honest looks lol $
AnyWho, we are back now with a little bit of candy ready to get back to work $
It is now 6:48 p.m. and I have finished another gain bowl
This time with beef
And I swear they keep better every time $
Whatās noteworthy though is that the last thing I actually want to eat is a cookie or a cracker $$
This is good because at this point if my insulin and blood sugar and all that were really actually getting pretty fucked up, then I would know it $$
But ever since I got back from running, Iāve been in a very nice clear headed āfastedā state
I only use that word for lack of a better one
Because my run should have essentially signaled on my digestive system to move everything to its right place
And I can tell ever since I left, my body was in burn mode $
Then I started to get pretty hungry pretty quick but again the last thing I wanted was a sugary snack
I was craving exactly what I ate
And it was a big bowl too
But I could probably keep eating if I had still had some already made $
I have plenty left over but my point is that my body is still signaling the right stuff
Even though the 2000 cal of cookies for the first half of the day has me worried sometimes lol $
But I cannot believe that Iām not gaining that
Thereās even a small chance that Iāve burned some recently
Iām going off my aesthetic
And how much bigger I look, but yet Iām not getting much actual weight on the scale $
I only did one dose of MK over the weekend as well
Again they were talking 12.5 mg for one evening $
Iāve never claimed to be natural and Iāve always been an open book about these research chemicals
But thatās about as reasonable as it gets $
I simply use it just to get an edge on my recovery day
So if it lets me an extra 5% each week, that is a big effing deal
I donāt need it every day
When it would probably be robbed by stress anyway $$
Iām beginning to swerve a bit $
If I keep feeling chatty, then thatāll be good
Maybe I can turn that into some content that I need for this site $
And I guess this is one of those silent victory days because I officially uploaded the primary workouts to the main page $
And while they may see some future adjustments or aesthetic changes or this or that- they are 100% functional $
Itās one of those moments that Iām now realizing that the ancients are probably celebrating for me even though it seems kind of lonely, lol $$
But Iām feeling good
Should have an upgraded buzz on the way here soon, so weāll turn our attention to social media $
We have a lot of preloaded jokes from yesterday so that should be fun $
Let the good times roll $
Lol I know I was just saying I didnāt want cookies but Iām eating the rest of one box now $
A Craving hit kind of hard not long ago
But thatās mostly because the bowl that I ate was higher in fat than anything else so I can tell that my digestive system started off on a different type of leg
This is the common thing where if you eat something salty then after a bit, you might crave something sweet $$
It is 7:36 PM and I think Iām gonna go ahead and try to go to first sleep
Might do some work when I get up in the middle of the night
But I want a fresh brain pallet $
It is 11:01 PM and we are up and at the movies $
We are restarting the show. āTravelersā $
Which is a pretty good show that I watched probably about 18 months ago or so $
I think Iām just now beginning to forget it $
Itās about time travelers from the future, coming back and possessing the consciousnesses of people who die $
But by going back and commandeering their bodies as vessels, then they try to work to prevent major cataclysmic events from occurring in order to say the future. $
I will also confess for the record my indigestion because apparently it really isnāt the best idea to eat a bunch of cookies after a big gain bowl š„£ $$$*
So far the show just as good as the last time $
Itās kind of funny cause this is a show that I wouldāve been hating on about five years ago
āThatās not realistic, broā $
Silly me $
I think Iām gonna bring in the new day with a little bit of a reading break $
Another one of those things to where if you told me Iād be where Iām at five years ago, I wouldāve thought you were blowing smoke šØ $$
Pun intended $$
Happy new day everyone $
This oneās kind of a funny one
This is my fatherās birthday $
Interpret that how you see fit $
Only real creatives will see alternate meanings behind that $$
Weāre bringing in the new day with some reading
Technically, though weāre still at the midnight movies $
Weāre on chapter 3 of David Goggins ācanāt hurt meā
For the second time I believe
Could be the third time Iām reading it but itās been a bit at least $
The buzz is a solid, five out of 10, which is considerable considering how little Iāve had to take to earn it $
Talking about maybe 1/8 of a seven hydroxy tablet so far $
Havenāt taken any plant sludge in a while $
I really think the jury is finally coming back on that and if Iām gonna do the shot sledge method, Iām probably gonna have to double my dose and cut my frequency in half
Which is fine these days because I no longer feel it necessary to use as much throughout the day because Iām no longer getting emotionally trolled and having to learn so much $
The one thing about ADHD is that it pretty much robs of any extra energy that you can invest in learning new things. $$$
So when I joke and they say that itās a miracle that Iām reading for fun,
The miracle is the fact that Iāve been able to find the energy for the last four years to train my brain and into enjoying it
But itās taken so many hours and so many weird techniques to recondition my mind $$
And unlike Goggins, I am a little bit more dramatic and I guess sensitive in the sense that if I donāt enjoy it, Iām not gonna keep with it $
So the whole game is about making this crazy shit enjoyable, which is why Iāve been sitting in the cold for three months
And eating record amounts of cookies and crackers and converting them into lean muscle mass $$
It is now 12:22 AM
And Iām gonna have to tear into some of these crackers in a few $
Iām thinking more and more about the cold and how that kind of is the secret to all of this madness
Cause thereās just simply no way I can store fat whenever Iām spending this much energy just trying to stay warm
But Iām very comfortable level of warmth
Until I start to feel cold and hungry
Thatās how I know $
As of 12:34 AM Iāve eaten one more thing of the honey graham crackers
Cause again the store was still out of the cinnamon
But the honey are a little different and theyāre just as easy to eat $
And that is one box of crackers, and one boxbag of cookies
+2 good size gain bowls
So weāre looking at around 4500 cal lol
Pretty low on the protein side
But thatās because yesterday was pretty high
And again today was intentionally high on the fuel to start the training week $
Is right now the plan is to go to back early-ish
But if I go back to sleep and I get to the super sleep mode again, thatās why I donāt wanna get up
Then I might end up going closer to noon
In which case Iāll need to eat again $
Just doubling back onto the cold being the real reason why Iām eating this many calories
And I think that I am both genetically gifted in this area and taking advantage of the right time and opportunity
So Iām not really trying to go around promoting everybody eating shit loads of cookies every day $$$
But when itās the season, itās the season
you know what I mean $
I feel really good about work and everything
But Just a warning to all the creatives out there - that the smallest tiniest easiest details are often the most energy draining
Especially with any administrative related tasks
Because even though they might be relatively minor from an action perspective,
They still carry the same risk of shit going wrong
And the simple opportunity cost of not being able to do what you enjoy
So give yourself some credit even for the small shit cause the small shit is really the biggest shit $$$
Doubling back once again
I have a feeling once I actually get back into sleep mode and my body dials back Itās internal heater naturally,
Iāll probably want to sleep for longer and Iāll probably be extra resistant on getting up $
But the timing might be an issue because yesterday I almost ran out of energy
Or was lower than I wouldāve liked at the gym because I burned more while I was sleeping $
Happy 1:08 AM
We have finished last weekās review
And I guess weāll be going back to sleep soon $
I think we are about to do a victory hit and go to sleep
And it is likely that we will not go to the gym first thing because weāll probably need to eat again itās crazy as that sounds $
It is now 5:07 AM and weāre doing a brief sleep intermission
Iām not hungry
Which is good $
āIf someoneās been on meth for a week, then theyāre basically fearlessā
-Fugitive show $$
Well, that is certainly one way to put it $
I think one of the most petty things you could do is avoid wishing someone a happy birthday $$$$$$$$
I may be on the verge of homelessness,
but at least my street is clean if you know what Iām saying $$
Just thinking how the actual Buddha
You know the big fat dude,
itās probably the worst aesthetic symbolism to utilize if weāre being honest $$$
Like Iām all for being happy in at peace and all of that but not when youāre morbidly obese $$$
and Iām not even trying to be funny.
I sincerely think it just caused a misrepresentation to what people think is acceptable for enlightenment $$
because I guarantee you- you cannot be that overweight and call yourself truly enlightened,
considering all the physical fruit you will be missing out on $$$$$$$$***
It is now 8:32 AM & the time to go to planet
I am not hungry and instead I am motivated and energized so weāre gonna roll with it $
Oh yeah, today is supposed to get too damn near 70°
Reminding myself that as I ice the car off $
Sometimes being early as hell feels a lot like being really late until you look at the clock $$**
Them dumbbell guardians get real territorial when you pop up unexpectedly $$**
I am leaving planet now
It was a good workout, but my theory about my fuel was overall correct
You could basically say I was at maintenance
It wouldāve been better if I couldāve eaten and gone later, but maybe only physically because emotionally speaking, I think it was the right move.
The workouts in which I can trigger my body to clean up and use whatever reserves it has on ready Standby are usually the best. $$*
So I am proud of myself for not getting carried away because it wouldāve been pretty easy to not gonna lie $
I do need to note for the record that I smashed my middle finger top knuckle on my left hand when doing single arm dumbbell Rose š¹
It got pinned and smooshed
Itās not that painful, but it is a little black and blue and swollen
So mostly noting for the record to see how long it takes to heal $
(Took less than 12 hrs before swelling disappeared, was non noticeable after 24hrs minus a small bruise) $$$
Most people hate politics
But more people hate other people who hate people because of their politics
And thatās what I hate most $$$*
It is 12:13 PM and we are on a roll when it comes down to these cuts $
Not even really trying to find them, but I keep finding good clips of my favorite people basically telling my story $
It is now 3:56 PM and we have gotten a lot of social media shit ready
Weāre gonna go do a little sun walk before finishing up part 3 $
So weird stepping outside when itās hot as shit
Itās like 70° $
It is now 6:26 PM
We have intellectually refueled
The rowing workout was very mild
But it was a pleasant surprise to realize that the resistance was on maximum, and I didnāt realize this until the very end
So I get extra points $
I am currently not very hungry
Definitely no carb cravings currently thank God $
It is now 7:53 PM and I have finished even more work
And Iām very happy with it
Which is a big deal $
Iām winding down now and thinking about to step out for a cigarette after a pretty big gain bowl $
That was the first time voice to text got gain bowl correct lol $$
Iām just nervous about how my stomach might settle so I guess itās a good time for another experiment š§Ŗ $
This is the first time Iāve smoked a cigarette after a pretty big meal in a long time
Granted, this is about as clean as a meal as you can get $
Also, sidenote, it is super warm tonight
I mean, it is warmer outside than it is inside by a good bit
Which is pretty funny $
Knock on wood I hope this helps more than it hurts $
But that postmeal cigarette is one of the greatest pleasures of life really $
Iām seriously gonna have to work on getting my tolerance up to where I could smoke a whole cigarette to just appreciate the evening aesthetic
Without getting Nic sick $
As of 8:06 PM it is so far so good
I am in fact, even testing another small variable
As to how cannabis is after smoking half a cigarette
Cause the nicotine and all that almost kind of āsobers you upā as a relates to THC buzz
I believe just about everybody would agree that if you smoke a cigarette, it almost āsobers you up moreā $
Kind of like a little bit of a reset, even though itās probably competing and blocking receptors and all that jazz $$
But I do feel really relaxed
And the tobacco buzz is complementing the kratom buzz $
I know shit can sound kind of crazy if taken out of context,
but keep in mind these are arguably the most popular herbal supplements in the entire world
They are by far the safest
at least when you consider single dosing $$
(youāre not gonna overdose on tobacco without killing yourself some other way first) $$$***
And I have to say it all the time,
but there are cups of Starbucks that are stronger than what Iām buzzing on $$
I remember back at McDonaldās we would make these espresso shots that were basically a controlled substance $$
They had the fancy coffee machine, so you could pretty much make it as concentrated as you wanted $$
How else did you expect third shift to survive all night? $$
I swear to God, I could write a bunch of horror novels,
just by recounting my work history $$
And I jokingly say all the time, but seriously- if we suddenly release the consciousness technology to re-create movies from memories without going through all this stupid filming and editing bullshit,
Then I would have the memories for one unbelievable, And dare I say, hilarious movie š„ $
But until then, we have the notepad ladies and germs š¦ $
Happy 1:11 AM $
Good morning world,
and all in it and around it and above it and below it $$
After a pretty good sleep, we are arriving at the movies now
I think I might actually try to find a movie this time $
Well, I guess I picked a documentary
kind of counts as a movie right? lol $
So weāre watching āthe investigation of Lucy Letbyā $
Which I think is about somebody doing fucked up things to newborn children in the hospital or something $
Theyāre opening with the scene of her arrest
And they did a little shot of her saying goodbye to the cat
And I swear to God, if anything bad happened to the cat,
I will fucking find out š $$$
I love that cat so much and I just saw it for 5.3 seconds $
I love all kitties $$$
Holy shit, they arrested her for murdering eight babies $
Is it bad that Iām relieved to hear that they were human humans instead of cats? $
I swear I am the youngest, strongest, most masculine, crazy cat lady that there is $$
Weāre about 20 minutes in and itās pretty crazy how itās likely this bitch did this
At least 13 babies dude $
I made a post not long ago about nurses being crazy
but nobody wanna listen or talk about it⦠$$$$$$$$$
Sheās so stonefaced and cold too
She literally kept a bunch of different trophies
Like actual documents $
This is why hell actually exist,
ladies and germs,
Or in this case, germs and gents
Cause it is the females who are responsible for the Fuckery this time $
This is the feminine extreme
The sneaky ultimate spite
Nothing more heinous than killing the most innocent and trying to cover it up $$$
The masculine extreme Is the school shooting scenario
Both of which- absolutely tragic and heartbreaking and inexcusable
yet are relatively consistent for some reason $
This is where I would go on a tangent about all kinds of trauma and mental instability and true evil versus true sickness and this in that, but I think we all get it $$
Shit is just simply fucked up $$
But if it wasnāt fucked up,
then it couldnāt be awesome
and there would be no meaning for these beautiful souls tragic passing $$
It is 1:56 AM and I can feel the carb cravings kicking in
(removed incorrect observation about indigestion
At least incorrect as of edits one week later lol) $$
Theyāve arrested this bitch like 3 times now wtf $
Iāll say this
Once youāve gone through hell, you donāt give two shits about judgment from other people
Because the only people who would judge you clearly have not gone through hell, and theyāre just emotional children
Regardless of status or power or anything
Oneās principles and integrity is all that matters $$$
All right, well I donāt wanna ruin the twist but now theyāre throwing out a whole different curveball and a whole different angle to the story
It is interesting but the documentary filmmakers are kind of shitty because the whole first half they pretty much gaslit you into believing a certain thing,
Saying that If youāre gonna make something with this kind of twist, then you need to do a good job of seeding for it because now I feel like a bad guy for arriving at the judgment they forced upon me $
And I get that that is probably the point
But they still couldāve done it smoother $
Sales taught me that if you do not seed for a bold pitch then you are fucked lol $$*
I need to think about how some of the best investigative minds were likely held back by some simple technology $
Which is what I felt like for the first three years of getting into personal training when I didnāt know how to make a reel on Instagram lol $
It is now 3 AM & time for second sleep
Before I finish a bunch of cookies šŖ $
I think Iām probably gonna bump legs until mid afternoon so I can eat and rest as much as possible $
Has anyone ever actually gone to Purdue university online? $$
It is 9:14 AM and we are getting to moving $
I canāt believe I used to beat myself up for not being my best three minutes after waking up
But when youāre surrounded by sensitive people whoās first reaction is to deflect their emotional natures onto those nearest to them,
then it makes sense that one might wake up a little defensively $$
I donāt care what anyone says
The real āyouā comes out during times of stress in trouble
Not when everything is peachy cream
So if you have not seen somebody handle adversity,
then I would highly recommend you refrain from judging and trusting until then $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*
If somebody gets upset and begins to ignore reason,
then they are upset because they want to be
And it has very little to do with you $$**
It is now 11:31 AM
Weāve eaten some rice and beans and butter
And a third of cookies, cough cough
Legs are coming up probably in the next 90 minutes or so so thatās very exciting $
I think Iām about to make a bunch of new/old cutoffs $
So thatās probably symbolic of something $
I am proud of the fact that Iāve made it this far with zero caffeine
A little extra on the sludge though, but the buzz is pretty weak $
I think Iām gonna try to save the other half of my tablet for this evening $
Iām really trying to find the right routine to balance staying up later and sleeping longer and not feeling like a guilty piece of shit for sleeping past sunrise $
Because I keep laughing at myself on how Iāve become traumatized in the workaholic since
Saying, if Iām not making every minute productive, I certainly feel so bad $
But just being aware of all of that,
pretty much stops it absolutely these days
And instead of beating myself up, itās more laughing at myself and getting back to the next right thing $
It is 12:40 PM
We have a new batch of cut offs
Weāre running to the store to get some carbs and some fuel
And then to the gym $
My neighbor has the coolest classic car collection, man
He has these two Mustangs that are my dream cars
I need it
I need it so bad.. $$$
I think the point is most people think that just because they donāt take care of themselves, that doesnāt impact those closest to them
And that could not be further from the truth $$$****
Every day you neglect to do something to feel better about yourself youāre gonna indirectly take it out on those closest to you $$$***
If you can change the temperature of the room just by walking in it,
then you can change it a lot more by contributing to it positively $$$***
We are leaving the lion now with five boxes of cinnamon graham crackers
24 pack of water
Four sticks of butter
1 pound of the 7327 ground beef
1.3 pounds of a ham steak
And 1 L of coconut water
All in all came out to be right about 36 bucks š¦
(Legendary trip) $$*
On the way out the door to the gym I finally got to make a formal introduction to Stan
Who I believe to be Alexās dad
who Is a cat to clear any confusion
But this is awesome because I havenāt seen him in months
And he just let me feed him
Even did a little nose boop before beginning to growl at me
Hope he comes around more cause he seems to actually be pretty sweet $
Let the record reflect Iām returning home at 2:44 PM in the middle of a carb crash. $
I can feel a headache coming on and my energy level is crashing quickly $
Luckily, I prepared for this by getting a bunch of graham crackers
But it just reinforces my theory that I am burning so much more than I thought I was and Iām also building a lot of muscle pretty quick $
I mean, I really might be close to half a pound a week if not closer to a pound
Thatās insane to do it naturally without gaining too much fat mass $
These cinnamon crackers are the best $$
It is now 8:15 PM and we are stepping outside for our evening smoke šØ $
We got a good bit of work done
The invisible, structural, creative, not so sexy work though
But the very, very, very important stuff
Hopefully, itāll make tomorrow a little bit easier $$
Itās bittersweet because I know once I finish this long list of the tedious stuff,
the āhardā stuff will be pretty easy $$
Dinner was a bit unorthodox so far
I ate the entire box of graham crackers after the gym,
and I clearly needed it to refuel
The warm weather is kind of thrown off my calorie math, but I still feel pretty good $
I had half a ham steak and a bunch of onion petals basically
If youāve ever been to outback and had the blooming onion, then I had itās frozen generic equivalent
But it was pretty good $
I joke that biologically speaking my body probably doesnāt know the difference between this and going out to eat $
So hopefully once I start getting more social, I wonāt biologically run out of all my energy as fast $
And Iām hoping Iāll have at least a slight advantage on eating the expensive type of processed food $
Itās bittersweet because I really am enjoying doing the tedious building work
Like with all the aesthetic edits & this and that
Because it is mindless
But it is pulling from the same energy bank that all the unconscious trauma stress is pulling from
So the quality of work is not suffering, but the amount of it is $$*
If I didnāt have all this existential shit distracting me every half hour I could probably get lost and work hours and hours $
Like the last couple years⦠Lol $
I know all of this has been part of my training
And that my rapidly deteriorating very ill family is the real weight that Iām trying to lift $$
While just trying to keep the utilities cut on for now $
And Iām really not trying to be dramatic cause I could care less
itās just in the same world of an energy drain $
And itās kind of sad how my neighbor just got home and pulled directly into the garage and closed the garage door before even getting out of the car $
And I made sure to wait, but who knows if they saw $
But one of the houses next to me is a rental
And Iāve seen the tenants come and go a couple times $
The last group was a bunch of car bros, who had really annoying loud cars,
but overall decent enough neighbors for the most part $
They had lived there for about 10 months when I finally worked up the emotional energy to make an introduction
This is back in 2021 right when I first started smoking weed again and was trying to meet normal people $
So we made some jokes, and I made an open invitation to hang out or to smoke a joint or something
And the dude said yeah āmaybe next month after I check my calendar because we have this race week thingā $
Which is one of the most bitch ass answers Iāve ever gotten
but whatever
I know it was a lie, cause I never heard from them again $$
They lived there for another two years before quietly moving out sometime last year $
And this couple moved in right before my relationship ended
And I know my ex met the lady that lives there
But I havenāt personally spoken to them yet $
I mean, I donāt blame them for keeping their distance because I look like the classic street fighter bro or something $
And Iām sure theyāve caught me boxing in my garage more than once
without a shirt on $
Considering how the guy wonāt even make eye contact with me tho
& I have a feeling he might not be all about the same life that I am⦠lol $
Who we have finished half our cigarette and we are back inside and we are winding down $
Weāre trying to relax Guilt free
Which is kind of working kind of not $
I really wanna try to get an hour or so before I go lay down to sleep for a digestion sake $
But I have zero emotional energy left to really do anything $
It is 11:56 PM over here getting up for first shift $
Good morning world $
It is 12:01 AM
On two ā 12ā26 $
I just noticed I have legitimate calluses on my knees now $
If thatās not symbolic for humility at this point,
then I donāt know what it is $$$
We are watching āthe sinnerā
Which I saw the first season of back in like 2018 during this weird hurricane
I remember cause I was basically trapped at my momās house, even though it didnāt really storm that hard $
Iām not sure who warned me about birdwatching in your 30s, but they were right $$**
I just didnāt expect to have the perfect house for the sneaky set ups for birdwatching
Just gotta get a good camera šø $
āIām just doing my jobā
āIām just doing what they pay me forā
āI donāt ask questions. ā
āI just do what they tell meā
Type of people make me sick 𤮠$$$***
(Under negative pretenses OFC/ otherwise thatās honorable lol)
If you or somebody has to ask, ādo you work outā
Then you are an amateur at best $$$
(And so is who is asking the Q) $$
Happy 1:23 AM
We have finished some midnight mobility and most of episode one of āthe sinnerā $
We are playing the helicopter game with a baby buzz
It is quite delightful $
Iām actually on the fence if I should take another 1/4 tab or not $
1/8 has been my focused dose
1/4 has been my relaxed dose
When half has been my fuck it dose $
But the last 1/8 that I took is hitting so good
That I just donāt think I need a full 1/4 $
* splits tablet $
Take that addiction $$$
In times of stress and trauma, my usage works in reverse
And I assert my 9.3 years of complete perfect sobriety during the most tempting period of my life as evidence that when I get stressed out, I usually just work hard $
Which comes with certain problems,
but those problems are a lot better than the opposite
Let me tell you $$
Cause trying to convince somebody to work more is nowhere near sexy as trying to get them to work a little bit less and relax more $$
So AnyWho
We just did a nice little bump
( not an actual bump for all you coke heads out there- basically just licking powder off my finger) $
Cause other side tangent-
The pro & the con about these seven hydroxy tablets is the dosing $
I use basically the smallest dose that I can find
from a brand that is about as consistent as you can expect when it comes down to plant based poisons $
But that also is a pro because that means I donāt have to take that many capsules and it kicks in and digests much better $
But when youāre taking a 10 mg tablet, which is about the size of your fingernail,
And youāre chopping it into eighths,
Itās gets kind of dusty and crumbly $
Just reinforcing its potency
Because you only need a couple crumbs or to lick a little bit of dust in your fingertip $$$
And the tablets are usually āchewableā
So itās always this weird kind of minty breath like texture $
Just to make it extra Great for habit forming lol $
But it is the opposite of the sludgy sludge $
And yāall know how I feel about balance and pendulum and opposites and poisons $
*Lighter flick $
Part of me wants to read
Part of me wants to keep watching TV
It is 1:31 AM
But really Iām just trying to kill a few more minutes.
See if we a few extra of molecules of dopamine want to show up to the party š $
I will visit my hunger for the record as well
Because if thereās one controlled substance Iām most worried about it,
it Is these crackers and cookies $$
As of now, I have zero cravings and have zero hunger signals
I am pretty thirsty though
Which is overall good sign
Likely because of the salty food today for dinner
Which is good to help me get back into a more balanced fat burn state $
I do not have any cookies which is intentional
But I do have four full boxes of cinnamon graham crackers on standby $$
I think Iām gonna stop kidding myself with my plan for the gym and just anticipate the motivation showing up sometime around noon $
So I guess technically I donāt need to eat before I go back to sleep, but I would need to eat a pretty big breakfast $
And in a perfect world,
During build season ,
Iām gonna try to get back to eating something in the morning
But who knows $
I will say
If you are in a peak hypertrophy/bodybuilding phase,
Meaning your muscles and your pathways are all conditioned pretty heavy,
Then there are few workouts better than a late evening or late night heavily fueled DB/cable / machine triathlons
Itās like visiting all your favorite sites and sounds in Pump city
Especially if you got some good new music
And if the vibe in the gym is that perfect level of ānot too dead, but not too busyā
With the perfect amount of quiet, moderately attractive strangers.. $
Whenever Iām basically holding myself back from chugging water, there is a good sign I got a lot of sodium on standby lol $
And considering yesterday was a leg hypertrophy day
These bitches should swell up like sponges š§½ $
I actually think my body used The 1500 cal of crackers I ate immediately after leg day fairly responsibly $
And truth be told I probably have maybe another 6 to 8 weeks of being carb dependent and it being justifiable $
Iām just so used to being fasted for most of the day
Or eating some super big meal or something like that that itās kinda hard to get back to the basics with this $
But physically speaking my body remembers a lot quicker than emotionally speaking $
It is 1:44 AM and weāre gonna try to do a little bit of reading
I donāt really feel too much motivation to do it
Itās more like Iām doing it to take a break from watching Netflix and other work stuff
So weāll see if that changes
But weāre picking up with David Goggins ācanāt hurt meā $
Also kind of funny how my furnace is working
And itās 29° so Iām not gonna talk that much shit cause I am pretty happy $
Last few days it was on Vacay $
Hearing him talk about when he passed his test to get into the Navy,
Has me thinking about how many people have gone through that silent victory $
Or had their entire future hang on a button click
Or a phone call $
I remember when I passed my real estate exam & basically having an internal celebration
And trying to contain my excitement as I walk to collect my results was very difficult to do $
Itās kind of funny how I passed a real estate exam the first try but it failed the personal training exam first try $$
There were so many technical errors when I tried to even just take that exam but that is a whole different column
But I basically spent the months of February and March in 2022 just trying to actually log into the test successfully $
I failed because they naturally gamified the whole system and asked questions designed to make you purchase their expensive tutoring program
Ironically which has nothing to do with actual training programs $
So it was only a matter of time before I would go on this Crusade on trying to revamp everything and blah blah blah $
Oh yeah, back to the silent victories $
I was pretty pissed the first time I failed the test because that was on March 14
And then I immediately went on a three day weed run to Michigan to clear my head
And then I came back and passed the test on April fools day $
just saying that out loud
wearing my skittle snuggle
in my study
just hits completely different now lol $$
What a ride $
But that day after I passed that exam,
I went to Wilmington , āFreeman Parkā
I was by myself biologically at least
I remember sitting on the beach and collecting a bunch of shells
And then on the way back, I got a steak from this beachfront restaurant,
and it was awful to be honest lol $
But at least I went
And because I had gone there a few times in my solitude soul search,
It was muscle memory when I dragged my ex
who is a phenomenal photographer
back out there
Culminating in some of the pics that you probably have seen on the site $
Including my most favorite iconic āsmoke on the beachā $
We did two photo shoots at that beach $
And the jeep only got caught for a little bit on the second time lol $
But it prompted a fight,
which overall was relatively minor,
but did spiritually trigger some strange feelings of familiarity $$
Being on the beach with a childish female, breaking down,
seemed very familiar
Very, very, very familiar⦠$$
Some things take a lot to fully kick in lol $$
Reminding myself how
I need to do a better job at weekly digital purges, and clean outs
Meaning, I need to go back through and delete and restore and re-organize on a regular basis just because of how much of a relief I feel after doing it
It is like an exercise of its own for sure $
AnyWho, it is 2:07 AM
I do feel as if Iāve made some kind of progress
Weāre going to upgrade the buzz
Probably try to kill a little bit longer maybe even eat the rest of that ham steak
I feel like that would be a perfect thing
See if we can find something interesting to watch on TV now $
The worst thing that could happen to your relationship is if your significant other suddenly tried too hard to please you every single step of the way $$*
Which is exactly what Netflix is doing with all these recommendations $
Like stop just putting ābinge worthyā on everything
Just go back to the preset categories $$$
Itās getting too annoying
They literally got rid of most features cause theyāre just relying on its recommendations
Which is pretty cocky and clearly failing
So weāre gonna go back to Amazon for a moment and see
Probably have some good summer nostalgia $
Lol, I donāt know why I feel in the mood for a good old prison show right now $
Well, we landed on some conspiracy documentary from 2015 $
You gotta give Amazon credit for having all of the fringe documentaries and shows $$
I donāt know how long my enthusiasm is gonna last, but letās do it a little smoking game
Which is just gonna be adding keif hash to each hit until I am so stoned I canāt even see my eyes open
And Iām gonna do a tiny bump every 30 minutes until I fall asleep $$
(lol Iām playing that game while doing edits organically one week later-that cycles for you)
And Iāll read at least half a chapter every hour Iām awake $
Even though I doubt Iām gonna make it even one hour from now $
Thereās hit number one at 2:18
The Kratom buzz is an honest, 6.5 š $
Iāve now realized why I was reluctant to doing all this digital house cleaning though
Only took me three seconds before I ran into a bunch of heartfelt pictures with the ex
And they stung, not gonna lie $
She actually recently texted me
To let me know that she was about to delete all of our official pictures from the place where I have downloaded them from.. $
Which is 100% totally reasonable
And Iām glad she gave me the heads up
But it just reinforces that whole moving on kind of thing
And even though she moved out a year ago minus a week or so,
Itās still stings sometimes $
I canāt even say Iām romantically beat up over it
It was such a profound and important character building learning experience
And Iām so grateful for the all of the shit because of what it taught me and how itās made me feel now
And how I can avoid making those mistakes for the rest of my life now because I got it out of my system $
So itās hard to articulate the spiritual heartbreak I still feel
Because I donāt have any desire to resume any romantic relationships
I guess in many ways, I just value her as a person and her potential to such a high degree, as well as her skill set that it really hurts to watch it seemingly be ruined by petty drama and controllable opinions, and addiction to comfort and all of that $
(Iām sure she could say many of those same things about me tho so fairs fair) $
I didnāt even make it two minutes into this documentary before I had to pause it to go on this tangent
Then I have to remember next Thursday that my edits might take a little longer $
(FUCK I KNEW IT LOL )
*Loads bowl $$
Conspiracy theory documentaries plus cannabis plus Kratom plus midnight equals one hell of a time $$$$***
*Lighter flick $$
Although I gotta say out the gate,
Iām probably not gonna make it far with this one
They are all very hit or miss
But after youāve seen so many of them, youāve heard the same old story and youāve seen the same old characters too many times $$
Thatās why I started bugging out so hard over the summer is because once you start seeing the psyops within the psyops, thatās when you start writing shit on walls lol $$***
Oh, this is dope.
They have ālocked up abroadā
If you havenāt seen this show, then you definitely should before you ever consider picking up something suspicious on a vacation $$$****
I have finished the rest of that ham steak
Adjusting for the water weight thatās an honest pound at least of salty protein pretty much
It came with some kind of sugary glaze too that I discovered last time so that was probably another couple hundred calories of sugar to really complete meal $
(Bro and then I eat ham again exactly one week later organically
Talk about unconscious routine cravings)
Iām trying to give it another 10 or 15 minutes before tearing into this graham crackers though $
I swear Iām not trying to be funny
Itās just what my stomach is telling me $
Kind of funny how this episode of locked up abroad it is about a British special secret service agent,
whos on a mission gone wrong
And heās imprisoned in India, and they donāt believe him $
⦠one of them weird nostalgia feelings⦠$
Thinking more and more that if you designed a group of people to exist in the coldest harshest climate,
They would obviously have to be able to warm themselves up,
So overtime, it would almost be like theyāre kissed by an internal fire aesthetically $
So thatās how you have gingers š« $$
And dare I say,
the attractive ones look like theyāve been kissed by fire
And the ugly ones look like theyāve been consumed by it⦠$$$*
I mean, seriously,
you could look at Ginger-itis as almost an aesthetic kiss of death
Cause nine out of 10 times the ginger gene does not compliment attractiveness well..
Just saying.. $$$*
And I know I aināt everybodyās cup of tea
But I am certainly enough $$$
( š„° š¤ š„°)
Everyoneās real tough until they canāt get what they want
Then you get to see what kind of dragon theyāre dealing with $$$
Fuck it dude it is 3:12 AM and Iām going in for more crackers $
I wish I could see the general manager when they do the stock for the graham crackers at the Food Lion
and they see such a surge last 4 weeks $$
I imagine for years nobody really bought the generic food Lion cinnamon graham crackers
and now theyāre basically disappearing the second they restock lol $
And then, if they were to check the footage, they would just see this homeless ginger with a pony tail,
strolling in at sunrise,
grabbing boxes and eggs and cat treats and waters
Damn near every day $$
Then when they start seeing the Cookie inventory too.. $
Those crackers are so good man I swear to God theyāre a secret
The ingredients really are not that bad
As long as the actual flower and oil isnāt tainted too bad
I am going to be a water buffalo though because I am chugging water š§ $
It is 3:27 AM and I failed to consider laying back down & in the digestion and all of that
Cause Iām starting to get sleepy
But on that now, I think based on just the actual shape of the stomach and how it sits
If you lay on your left side,
so with your right shoulder up,
then it is the best you get from an alignment perspective so that way things can flow if you know what I mean
So I usually start on my left side, then flipped to my right after an hour or two $
Fuck it weāre going to second sleep
Good night world š«” $
It is 7:41 AM $
We are feeling pretty good, but Iām just thinking more and more about how I feel now versus the last couple years recent $
Because Iāve been seriously forced to get up and go
And work the second my eyes open
Or deal with some bullshit the second my eyes open
I have traumatized myself into always feeling the need to be ready to perform $$*
The issue is that āperformā means many different things
I could easily stroll into the gym and start coaching right now, especially after a little caffeine
Because that does not take too much intellectual energy anymore $
But when it comes down to creating and strategizing,
thatās like the intellectual powerlifting equivalent,
so no matter how good you are, youāre going to fatigue after a few reps of honest effort $$$
And doing that first thing in the morning is not ideal
Just ask any creative lol $$$***
But last year, especially when I was under so much pressure to pay the bills from writing,
nothing was anywhere close to being ready yet.
I just put too much pressure on myself, knowing that I had to do the impossible
Knowing that I would fail $
I guess when Iām trying to say is,
I know I didnāt need as much Adderall lol $$
I think any collection of authentic failures could be considered quality art as long as youāre not a victim about it or take it too serious $$**
It is 9:46 AM and Iām going on my son walk
Weāve been riding ways of anxiety all morning, but thatās all right
Just Working on the technique $
Just ate a pretty decent size gain ball with rice beans, butter eggs
Iām feeling pretty motivated to go to the gym, but I think itās trigger fueled
Iāve been watching some of Will Tennysons videos $
I love some of the topics $
It is now 10:40 AM and we are doing some reading $
It is 1149 and weāre making some oats $
āWhat kind of God would allow all that sufferingā $
The kind of God that is far smarter than you and far more concerned with a bigger picture
and far more aware of more variables than you could ever be
Also, the kind of God that is more concerned with meaning and merit,
and if he were to eliminate that soulās suffering, he would also eliminate the amazing trophy that soul is going to receive once it is all set and done
And also this God would not be very consistent with his techniques if he intervened anytime somebody wanted to act a fool $$**
Because the hardest thing is allowing somebody else to act a fool,
even if you know the outcome in the long run $$*
So by God allowing suffering,
heās doing the hard thing to give other souls the opportunity to learn some shit $$*
People with ADHD do not gain interest in a lot of extra things,
They lose interest in things very quickly and have to keep trying new shit out which seems like theyāre interested in a lot of things, but really they probably hate what theyāre doing $$$$$$$$******
Itās actually pretty crazy how much longer and for how much hotter I have to boil these organic oats versus the traditional $$
Iām not complaining. I just think it might be suspicious.
Five minutes with the regular on a low boil usually has them pretty softened up
But the organic needs closer to 10 minutes & it seems on a high boil $$
The brief sip of caffeine that I had has begun to fade sadly
Not the biggest deal because we got some tea waiting on us $
I guess by us, Iām referring to my multiple personalities lol $
It is 4:56 PM and we are leaving planet now with a pretty glorious pop.
I will not lie and deny.
The only bad part is I am so blind, I canāt even see it live
I truly donāt know $$
It is 6:35 PM and we are doing some dashing
We just had to back out a half mile out of some driveway so that was fun $
So far
-2 sleeves of crackers
-1 small bowl of rice & beans
Post gym $
It is now 7:22 PM
We have been blessed for three smooth, dare I say flawless orders so far
knock on wood
Weāre doing a quick little smoke break and see if we can get back to work $
Just got noticed that the first order added an additional tip
Thatās so kind
Doubt theyāll ever see this, but just know that Iām grateful $$$
It is now 8:29 PM and we are calling it after a very slow evening
We got some food money so thatās a big win $
Really just focusing on getting the routine down
And jumping through one hoop at a time, lol $
Iām probably gonna have to start skipping the midnight movies and go back to having some kind of consecutive long block of sleep $
It pains me to say that,
but if I actually want to be able to enjoy the midnight movies over the summer, then Iām gonna need to do something $
(Ehh who fucking knows honestly I love the midnight too much) $
It is 9:50 PM and time for first sleep
I know I just said the whole thing about not doing the midnight movies,
but in times of stress,
I do it to have some kind of waking but solo time to digest everything and process trauma
I have found it has been more beneficial to spend two or three hours a week than asleep $$**
I was wrestling if I should I go to bed or not, but I think Iām gonna try to wait and then probably end up eating right when I get up $
Happy 113
Good morning world $
Itās here $
Friday the 13th $$
And weāve got two of them back to back when you look towards March
Thatās pretty freaking cool $$$
Anyhow, we are up somewhat reluctantly because the restlessness was beginning to sink in even though we got a little bit of decent sleep $
Hate to say it, but I will admit it
The phase in what you gotta go on a bunch of random cringe dates to find yourself is soul wrenching
but worth it $$$***
I guess thatās why Iām over~compensating with the notepad
Because after all of the pointless monologues I went on in my last relationship,
I cannot allow that to happen again. $$
It is 2:14 AM and I cannot stop laughing at my own ridiculousness
I am truly not hungry but I am about to eat another sleeve of crackers lol
Which will make one complete box since leaving the gym alone at 5 PM
And besides that all Iāve had is one bowl of rice and beans
So pretty much straight rocket fuel since I left the gym lol $
I really am gonna try to put the nutritious food to first thing in the morning
And eat as many fat calories as I can now that Iāve pretty much officially moved my hypertrophy training to the evening $
But up until recent, I havenāt even been able to think about hypertrophy training because of my diet and stress and all $
So right now I just donāt want food food, but I could probably find the place to put the extra 600 cal $
Who knows if I actually stick to the plan or not?
Iām just laughing at myself
Because besides that I really do feel pretty great $
I mean, I really do believe that if I had a magic wand,
and I suddenly removed all circumstantial bullshit,
that I would be the equivalent of being on Molly all the time
But all natural baby $
So even though physically Iām a little restless and irritable sometimes,
And certainly jittery,
Itās mostly a problem of privilege or being very sensitive to some bullshit $$
So AnyWho, weāve upgraded the buzz and weāre just waiting on it to arrive $
If weāre at a 3 now then weāre hoping to land at 7 by 3 a.m. $
Itās a pretty warm night at around 40° $
*Turns off space heater
**Furnace cuts on unexpectedly $
Sure, I might be pacing in my living room, but itās not out of anxiety,
Itās out of energy. $$*
Itās been very interesting to see that I can gain muscle mass still by netting about four or five hours of sleep each night
On top of enough emotional stress trauma that could institutionalize anybody $$
Proving once again, mind over matter $$$
I donāt even know if Iāve heard of it but weāre watching ādirty Johnā now
Itās kinda hard to describe, but itās about a super cringey relationship basically
At least so far $
Iām going to try something responsible before I turn into these crackers, however
Because I really can tell that I donāt actually even need fuel, but part of me is a little nervous because the last few times I decided to try to āfastā
I have learned real quickly, how dependent my body had become on glucose via the form of a bitching headache $
So Iām gonna do a shot of electrolytes
Instead of a shot of sludge or something $
Mostly to see if it takes whatever little hunger craving I have a way $
Thereās also a chance that my minor restlessness is a fuel related warning sign, and I could be emotionally misinterpreting the hunger because of stress
Which is why I have the crackers on standby
Because if that is the case,
And if I am truly gaining as much mass as I think I am,
Thatās always a recipe for emotional disaster if you donāt have your carbs ready $$*
Being able to eat only rocket fuel for 24 hours and run like a nice smooth vehicle is a superpower though
And once Iām able to actually run ultramarathons every day like it aināt shit, Iām gonna cite this day at 2:22 AM as one of the best ā I told you soā moments of all time $$
I will admit, though
that these crackers, rice, and beans equal some exhaust if you know what Iām saying $$
*Farts loudly $
I guess this is a good time to mention that not all farts are the same.
The loud ones are the safe and innocent ones believe it or not.
Theyāre just basically pressure and air cause they donāt really smell š $$
But the ones that stink are the ones you gotta worry about
And theyāre always silent $$
And thatās all Iām gonna say about that $
*takes knee $
This is coming from a guy whoās lived on pretty much mass gainer and processed poisoned for the past 13 years and is considered an example of āoptimal healthā $$
Physically atleast⦠$$
Because of all the crazy, actual good shit that I do outside of that
so you know, take what I say with a gram of salt $$$
Literally $$$
I keep doing the egg test on myself
Seeing if Iām ready to eat those seven eggs
Sometimes if I crave them runny or over medium instead of scrambled, that is good insight into my fuel level
Because runny & over medium are easier to eat,
but scrambled is more filling, especially without any side $$*
Well, I want to wait a bit and do runny with a bunch of rice and beans š« $
And then Iām gonna make another pound of ground beef with the gain bowls this afternoon $
I donāt wanna jinx it, but Iām guessing that because it is substantially warmer that I should have more fuel remaining compared to last month or the last few weeks
I think thatās really a big part of why my energy crashed suddenly and brought on those headaches $
It is important to note that my headaches decreased in intensity so I was able to successfully treat them better in real time both with fuel and hydration $
And being that it was my first month truly going manual mode with the heating, Iām certain that there was a lot of adjustment calibration wise $
But now that I am both efficient with the heating,
and it is now a little bit warmer,
That ma be my calorie expenditure might drop just a little bit $
Friendly reminder that every day millions of people put their shitty relationship in front of the family and friends that matter
Donāt be one of them $$$***
I think at this point itās safe to admit that the ancients got more right than wrong when it came down to dating and marriage $$$***
Imagine believing you only have one life and subjugating yourself to dead end relationships because youāre too arrogant to think that maybe thereās more to the story $$$**
So you come back as the kid to your daughterās asshole boyfriend $$$**
*Coughs 33 times $$
**Glances at crackers $
Itās 2:34 AM
And Iām just gonna say that time is on our side $$*
I wonder what itās gonna take to have the most esoteric notepad of all time $
Iām sure Iām gonna figure it out
one day at a time though $$
I think itās important to go through a phase in which you throw logic to the wind on a fantasy
Bonus points if a relationship is involved $$**
But the real test is going to see how you clean up your mess $$***
Which reminds me ~ I need to do last weekās edits $
Brb $
It is 3:23 AM and we are about halfway through last weekās edits before I needed a break $
I predict my daily writings are gonna slowly get shorter just because Iām getting tired of editing so much
but also because I feel like Iāve scratched a good bit of itches over the past few months $$
So the tangents will change in time $
Fuck it, bro
I think weāre gonna go to sleep
Or listen to a podcast until we actually fall asleep $
It is no set 18 a.m. and weāre getting up
Kind of disorder, of course $
(???)
It is 9:18 AM and we are up and moving
We even got some sunlight in the eyes already
Shaking off a little rust before the morning sun walk $
And then the goal is to have as big of a breakfast as a reasonably can $
It is 10:20 AM and we have eaten a pretty decent gain bowl $
About to hit another sun walk
Pretty crazy ik $
The small little things are starting to get pretty hard to do again
so I think Iām pretty overdue for a mushroom $
I think itās a part of my message to the world is that you can be completely sick and be stone cold sober $$
(But not stoned cold soberā¦)
(Sorry Iāll keep quit) $
When I was a teenager and I was biologically hijacked, I still did not come close to killing myself
At least intentionally
But after nine years of stone cold sobriety, and doing everything damn as perfect as you can expect some suburban shithead to do,
I was highly highly considering it $$
And it was like it was against my Will,
I didnāt want to die,
and I didnāt want to actually inflict the pain of going through the act of killing myself and I know what that would do to everybody around me,
But I just couldnāt bear the thought of continuing on the way I was for too much longer
And my ego had begun to devise situations and circumstances in which I could essentially just āno longer have to worry about itā $$$*
in days like today when my biggest problem is killing time till when I can go to the gym in the afternoon,
it is very easy to forget that even just a year ago, I was on the verge of being re-institutionalized
not even because my chemicals were that bad even though they were pretty fucked,
But simply because I had no other idea how to escape the madness that was around around me $$
I mean,
itās extra fucked up when your significant other suddenly starts to despise you just because of who you voted for when everybody was gaslit to begin with.. $$$
And kind of on the more specific note even though I voted for Trump,
I knew the whole fucking game was rigged
So whatever happens and comes out with all this Epstein shit,
I was already under the impression of damned if we do damned if we donāt $$$***
Cause I guarantee you this shit runs so deep that itās not fair for anybody on the outside to properly judge without making matters worse within their own personal affairs which is why this whole thing is so fucked up $$$***
I mean,
Iām convinced that the evil Cabal controlling everything that controls both political parties,
essentially staged everything to allow Trump to win by giving people reason enough to gaslight themselves into thinking it could be different this time even though pretty much everybody knew when they casted that ballot~ that it wasnāt gonna be that much $$$*
At least the balanced responsible adults, because those who go full Maga and start screaming at liberals and all of that~
deserve what they have coming to them just as much as the pedophiles in power $$$***
My point out is that when you have many reasonable, hard-working people just trying to make the best decision that they can for themselves & their country,
Under the full understanding that theyāre probably being played for a fool no matter what they do,
Then it makes it very shitty to judge your brother or sister based off what they feel like is best $$$*****
Regardless of affiliation and preference $$$$****
It is 10:59 AM and we have completed another sun walk
And we may have just finally closed the tab on a very sentimental webpage
My ex is getting rid of all of our photos,
Mostly the ones of me, of course
She was kind enough to let me know that sheās deleting them by the end of the week
Which is a good thing because itās time to move on on that front too
Iāve saved probably 10% for keepers
The rest, I will release to the Devine and the angels to do with as they see fit $
It is 11:52 AM and weāre gonna do some reading $
Kind of cool that Iām finding articles about the benefits of tea
Even though Iāve been drinking it daily for the past year almost
Check my notes bitch
Another win for the intuition column $$$
Few things make you feel worse than trying to share a victory with the wrong person $$$******
Skateboarding taught me the importance of how to spin something $$$*****
Most need to learn the concept of being right and wrong at the same time $$$****
It is 1:43 PM and I am at planet š $
It is 509 and I have been home for a while. I will not lie.
I got distracted by my stress and some minor admin related activities that required my attention
And apparently all my emotional energy $
But we made it through those hoops with a little room to spare
Weāre trying to fuel up and Iām gonna try to do some dashing tonight
Fuck around and see what happens
Being that is Valentineās Day weekend $
Just reminding myself,
Iād rather spend it alone in a car with somebody elseās pizza than in my recliner but in a bad relationship.. $$$****
As fucked up as it all is
and as crazy as everybody wants to go crusading over this Epstein shit,
I promise you, the pedophiles are not only in Congress $$$*****
There are countless people that you encounter each and every day that deep down,
agree with all of this Epstein shit $$$$****
if not wish they were actually a part of it⦠$$
but they will probably pretend to be offended $$
It is 6:35 PM and that was a pretty hilarious failure not gonna lie
We made it to the store and in the parking lot for a half hour doing some soul-searching & we decided to come back and focus strictly on digital work because it was so slow.
It was unlikely it was going to prevail anyway. $
I am really at the point now, Iām pretty much hoping for a miracle $
And if my gas gets cut off well,
at least I know how to cook in a microwave $$
I wonder if pedophiles in prison are now rooting for politicians
like you root for professional athletes $$
just wondering š $
It is 8:19 PM and we are stepping out for a cigarette
Technically, the second one of the night which is a recent personal best $
We did some FAQs on Reddit, which is nice $
Did some dancing before that to celebrate the glorious day and the upcoming holiday tomorrow $
Which is the official muscles and movements holiday $
Thinking back to Valentineās Day, 2012
I was in this partial hospital program
Nearly 2 weeks out of rehab
I still had a week left before I transferred to this intensive outpatient for five months
This partial hospital was like a 9 to 5 rehab
And they drug tested..
Randomlyā¦
So after a week and some change of being home, I was able to secure a dime bag through the dining room window,
And I spent that valentines evening blazing and listening to music ā¤ļø $$
And at the time it was borderline a bad thing because I was supposed to be sober and weed at the time was still Public Enemy number one it seemed $
Iād yet to go down the actual recovery rabbit hole
and work the steps and all of that of course,
so my only exposure to recovery was a 35 day camping trip basically $$
With emotionally unstable teenagers $$$
But I remember blazing that night & the next day
And it was glorious
Valentineās Day was a Tuesday
And I had two days worth of smoke
And so by the time I went to the rehab on Thursday,
I thought I was in the clear because they hadnāt tried to test me yet $
But I remember,
three hours before I went home on Thursday,
they told me that I had to take a urine screen $
So I replied to them that I did not have to pee
But I really did have to pee
But I had to hold it
And I did and I was able to sneak out when they got lost in the chaos of all the carpool shit $$
Which they were trying to get me to pee before I left,
and I knew it wouldāve been dirty $$
And if they wouldāve told my parents,
then I wouldāve been triple fucked because there was no way I couldāve gotten weed when I was on that kind of lock down
Wink wink š $$
So I had about 16 hours to figure out how to pass Friday morning drug test cause I knew that was gonna be the first thing they had me do
So guess what I did? $
If you guessed that I sold my secret RuneScape character account to a neighborhood friend for some clean piss
Then you would be correct $$
And I brought a sanitizer bottle full of my friends piss with me the next morning,
Taped between my legs,
underneath my sack to stay as warm as possible $$
The next morning, I walked in eager to take the test
& I successfully made the switcheroo $$
And I could tell Homie was suspicious because when he was holding the cup,
he was holding it to check for warmth $
And only true addicts know that if theyāre gonna do a true urine screening,
theyāre gonna do a temperature test too $$
Unless theyāre just bullshitting to scare you⦠$$
But there was also some more commotion so he couldnāt test it with the thermometer immediately $
And it was warm enough via his handhold so he didnāt raise an alarm $$
And I waited out the rest of the day as best as I could
I knew that was my last day,
And I knew the next week I was gonna begin a Dilworth $
And I never heard anything about it again lol so I passed $
And that story reminds me of the time when I had my initial assessment at Dilworth,
And I wasnāt expecting them to make me to take a urine screen upfront,
So I had to chug water to try to dilute whatever I could my system in time,
And truth be told,
I donāt know if I actually tested positive during that screen or not $$
They used to say they could tell by your levels if you would recently used,
And I think that was partially true,
But Iāve been claiming that my sobriety date was December 27,
which was the day I went into the village,
In all reality,
it was probably February 17 or something like that $$
That is up until the ritilan patch incident on March 14
Therefore prompting my original sobriety date of March 15 $$
It wasnāt until 2024 that I realized the significance of March 14
and because when I did those Ritalin patches,
I actually didnāt get fucked up,
That day (314) counts more symbolically for my surrender than anything else $$
Letās just say if you take a 3 g mushroom on a 12 year anniversary of committing your life to a lifetime of service,
shitās gonna get pretty crazy $$$
Thanks for letting me share lol $
Happy 1213 on international heart day $
I am slowly getting up
I have taken a sludge shot and arranged my blanket on my throne and all of that to hopefully be able to a bit without too much of an existential crisis $
It is both pathetic and beautiful how much I love this little motherfucker
And how much of a difference he makes each and every time he is part of my awareness
Heās gotten so smart at finding the perfect warm spot between the blanket when Iām in the chair or by my side when Iām in the bed $
I mean, this is literally the definition of a spirit animal lol
Heās so perfect too
Heās just the best $
Go ahead and score one gain bowl on the day as if 1:23-1:24 am $
Ground beef, rice, butter, beans, and hot sauce
And it somehow gets better every time itās magic $
I would consider that one on the smaller side
But seriously, that was notably better than I expected
I didnāt even have to add salt salt
I think thatās the hidden secret with the black beans is because the sodium and other micro nutrients and fiber really complete everything
And theyāre so cheap that you canāt really make excuses
And theyāre really pretty damn good every time$$
Fuck it
I might have room for a second bowl after that deliciousness $
Weāre watching āEricā
Finishing up the first episode as of 1:33 AM $
So far, pretty good
Kinda hard to describe but seems like a missing kid mystery
Unique filming style though $
Weāve got the dessert crackers on standby
Gonna hit a little mobility
And go from there $
It is 2:08 AM and weāre gonna go back to bed
Probably for a couple hours and then we might wake up and do it all over again
What a shocker $
āTryingā is only good as a humble response to receiving credit
It is never a good excuse or goal š„
$$$
It is 8:34 AM and I am getting up slowly but surely $
It is now 926 and we are getting ready for the sun walk $
Iām noticing more and more resistance and I think this is in line with classic ADHD shit
Of the past few weeks, Iāve been feeling better. Iāve been leaning more and more in the spiritual causes behind all these weird conditions.
But also, whenever I go more than four weeks without a mushroom, my brain literally starts resorting to a back to old pathways and starts cutting its energy and emotional expenditure if you will $
So small stuff gets really hard to do
Like this damn sun walk $
Walking by the houses I sold to remind myself Iām not a complete failure lol $
Have to make a note of all the resistance I had to check Reddit this morning,
And all I did was answer a few questions last night,
but of course thereās this element today that can only be described as dread,
And of course when I go to check, I get a bunch of compliments and a bunch of upvotes and everything is really nice and sweet
And that just reinforces the game
And it just reinforces the resistance I had before even checking the app $$
If Iām wearing the Snuggie, just know youāre about to taste the rainbow lol $$
I might be the only person who can turn the Snuggie into a power statement $
It seems like most donāt realize money canāt buy you happiness until theyāve already bought everything $$**
It is now 12:38 PM and we are doing a pregame before heading to the gym $
Iām now nervous about the cop sitting in front of my house.. $
There are a ton of amateurs with some great glutes donāt get me wrong,
But you only need to ask them 3 questions before you realize their true power level $$****
Everyoneās real optimistic until they feel like someoneās watching them workout $$*
It is 2:54 PM and we are at home filling up on some crackers and some podcasts $
Amateurs think theyāre really tough once theyāve tried out every machine in the gym $$**
It is 5:08 PM and time to do some winding down
Weāre gonna watch āthe end of the fucking worldā
Which is a really good British mini show kind of thing
The episode episodes are only 20 minutes long, but thereās two seasons so you can go through it kind of quick $
Iāve seen it twice and both times were fantastic and funny
I do remember quite a bit though, so I donāt know how long Iām gonna keep my interest
I mightāve seen it more than twice $
The nostalgia from the first time is whatās coming back first though because the first time I watched it was probably 2019 in my old apartment
I think I was recovering from strep throat and I was all ill and uncomfortable and all of that $
Well, sadly, weāve already had to bail out because I remembered far more than I thought which kind of ruined it
Bitter sweet
But in other news, weāre gonna watch āTropic thunderā for the first time $
So thatās very exciting $
Random but I just counted five separate times in which I was hit the face
Like legit either with a punch or with a rock or with a fucking golf club
Actually might be more than that $
List:
Dog bite
Rock throw
Slider concussion
Knuckle sandwich from Massive 4th grade chick
Football
Football fight
Asshat In 7th grade
Ex gf ex bf
Random asshat w/ golf club
same asshat when I was blackout drunk
Jumped by asshats (hat & iPod stolen)
Street from switching (it f*cking counts bro)
Kid in rehab
A bunch of accidents in bjj $
These were legit, either full strength swings
Or contacts that left me bloodied
Or sent me to the emergency room $
And on that note, Iāve been to the emergency room 5 times I think
dog bite
Panic attack
Skateboard accident
Psychiatric breakdown that started this whole bullshit
Mystery illness $
***Knock on wood I donāt wanna go back lol šŖµ $$$
In classic ADHD fashion, I have bailed out of that movie and Iām now watching ālions for lambsā $
I just not really in the mood for a slap dick comedy I guess
And this has a pretty good lineup of actors
But I really donāt even know what itās about
Something about people wanting to do something important I think
Set some time in 2007
Something about the war on terror? $
On a separate note, Iām going to try to force myself to eat more actual foods and dial back some of the crackers
Mostly because it has a lot warmer than it was the past couple weeks
And I can tell that Iām closing in dangerously on starting to store extra fat $
It is 6:59 PM and time to make some eggs $
Exercise is a game
No, really, it is a game of energy
And how we invest that
The easiest way to track that is with points $$
Most people are real resistant to realizing politics is all one big game because that means they have to take back all the emotional rambles they went on,
And they have to walk back all of their hot takes,
and all of the fights they got into with their friends and family members $$$****
So the more you keep pushing for this type of disclosure,
thatās the reality youāre gonna face,
is that pretty much everything has been a lie and how youāve acted on that lie is what is going to hurt the most $$$****
Cause then youāll realize that thereās probably people that you betrayed or hated on over something thatās completely untrue $$$***
And most people have zero practice when it comes down to making amends or owning their own shit
or apologizing for that matter,
Let alone and putting themselves back together after a full-blown identity crisis $$$****
And donāt even get me started on organizing religion⦠$$*
Good morning world $
It is 12:58 AM $
And I guess Iām gonna take a little break from sleeping after all. $
Right after you do Molly the first time youāre gonna be like āwhy canāt I feel like this all the time in a non-drug addict kind of wayā $$*
And that is the beginning of the journey of healing trauma for most casual partygoers lol $$*
Cause ironically, many party drugs are profound trauma treatments from just a simple biology perspective $$
Most people donāt realize how good it is possible to feel $$$
It is the reverse of the negative trauma $
Further evidence of reincarnation is how I feel every time I see a cave,
even though Iāve been in so few $
Other than the literary emotional one, of course $$
Weāre back to old reliable
Weāre watching āVikingsā $
Weāre at the very end of season five where itās pretty hard to stay engaged because they keep kind of repeating the same shit
Not that itās all that bad, Itās just kind of repetitive. $
At the end of the day, all you can do is make the best decision with the information you have $$$
If you can do the next right thing,
And synchronize that with doing the next thing right,
Then youāll probably believe in magic within three years $$**
I am happy to report that Alex has become quite conditioned to finding the nice warm spot on the recliner between my legs
And he curls up in the perfect little ball $
I promise you 50° to your pet is like 70° to you at least
I guarantee they like it more than they donāt $$
Iām coming to believe itās probably more and more important for cats to be on a little cold side so that way metabolically they stay in the condition of warming themselves often which Iām certain has a lot of benefits $
I seriously could not ask for more than what I have in this moment ā¤ļø $$
I think the key to growth is being able to let go in order to recover,
But you can never fully let go unless youāve can fully trust,
And you canāt fully trust something you havenāt taken the time to understand,
Therefore,
if you do not work your ass off to come to understand suffering,
and the greater good and all that,
then youāll never be able to fully recover because youāll never be able to let go of your own bullshit $$$***
Thanks for letting me share lol $
It is better to lay on the floor than it is to lay on the bed
Thatās science from the streets
Literally $$$*
I bet the notepad is gonna start to shift in tone more towards being more like itās original purpose of catching thoughts $
Mostly because the last couple months have been more the freestyle ramble,
kind of sorta
And you know what that pendulum likes to do $
And on that note, it is 2:03 AM
I can feel the hunger increasing
It is someone negotiable hunger though, and I am feeling fine with eating eggs $
I still fail the mobility challenge of getting out of the covers without waking the kitty, but itās kind of almost impossible to do $
I bet you at least 10% of the shit Iāve written has come while actively cooking eggs
I mean, thatās not a joke thatās thatās like an actual assessment lol $$
Remembering when I bought this nonstick pan a few months ago and I really didnāt quite grasp the magnitude of how great of a purchase it was
I mean, Iāve been eating pretty much nonstop eggs all summer so obviously I had a sense but I never realized how clutch it made cooking $
See this is exactly why I have to keep this notepad and shit ready because I just had a pretty big major epiphany-
Iām thinking more and more that I need to have a pretty big come to Jesus talk with my mom sometime in the next day or two about health and next steps and all that shit because her health is the real reason why I canāt get a job $
Iām not trying to blame her and shit like that,
which is why Iām writing this out to make sure I donāt come across as fucked
Or like Iām trying to display blame,
But I literally donāt feel comfortable committing to something when I know her health is ready to implode at any minute when I literally do all of the things she needs to heal $
And from the financial perspective, weāre not talking much money here,
And thereās a reason why the universe keeps trolling me with my own parents,
And I feel a hell of a lot better about myself thatās for sure
But man is a fucked $
Gonna go ahead and add another gain plate to the ledger
I mean, it was still the same eggs, rice beans, and butter, but this time on a plate š½ļø $
My toxic trait is eating and then immediately going to lay down to go to sleep
It really probably isnāt the best
But I think getting all worked up about it probably does more harm than good $
Iām also getting the feeling that Iām on the edge of the turning of another chapter because Iām finding myself getting more and more bored with watching Netflix and a lot of of the work that Iāve been doing to recently $
As the stress lessons, then it becomes easier to do more actual work so probably need to get more social again and all of that jazz $
Just thinking that the wisest thing to do in the beginning of exercise is probably limiting how much energy you spend instead of trying to have the worldās greatest calorie burn $$$*
This is because exercise is gonna cost a lot more energy than youāre gonna get back in the beginning,
So itās better just to keep your cost low because your return on the investment is gonna be crap anyway $$$*
But once you start enjoying your workouts, then itās gonna get a lot easier and youāre gonna get a lot more energy back
And thatās true progress $$$*
Itās making work easier
Not just doing more of it just to say you did
Thatās how you play yourself
And hurt yourself⦠$$$*****
It was 2:33 AM
We are now watching āaloneā
Probably for like .8 minutes until I lose interest and go lay down and violate the suggestion that I just suggested to myself $
I like how that last group of lines lined up like a pyramid lol. Just gotta take a second to look. But now I gotta chill because Iām starting to try a little much $$
Silly me, I do this so often
But could be worse
I guess lol š¤·š»āāļø $
It is 6:34 AM
Add time to blaze up before returning back to sleep $
Fuck it letās see what random show we can put on
And see what happens $
We found a somewhat decent series called āuntamedā
At least itās not so bad for now $
Also caught a little bug violating our piece agreement
Which isnāt the biggest issue because it was kind of wet outside, so I gave him a pass, but I hope there are no other bugs watching or waiting
And I hope he was not a decoy bug to distract me from other bugs that may be wanting to make a run for it,
but donāt want me to check into their files.. $$
I donāt know just a thought š $$
I would argue that the hardest thing to do is to get a brilliant man to admit when theyāre wrong,
Instead of building like a rocket or something,
Because I bet you- super smart people would rather build rockets than admit when theyāre wrong $$$****
It is 8:34 AM and just had an amazing breakfast of six eggs and three pieces of Texas toast $
That freezer donation my mom gave me 10 days ago really did come in clutch.
But Iām almost out of everything that she gave me lol
But I have eaten pretty much all of it
And thatās a big deal
Because years ago, something wouldāve gotten to waste
Or just sat in the freezer
Which is why I ended up with this in the first place is because it sat in her freezer for too long $
AnyWho, that was glorious
And must be at least 1000+ calories, considering the toast had a bunch of garlic and cheese on it
And now my house smells delightful and delicious $
*Loads bowl š„£ $
Itās about to smell even better too $$
Synchronicity is great except when unlocking car doors or when pressing play on the remote as your TV go to sleep mode $$***
I swear to God itās only a matter of time before I start wearing pelts around and shit like the old days
The really old days.. $
If you take symbolism too seriously then youāre gonna have a bad time $$$
I donāt buy into the belief that everybody is broken and we need something to fix us,
I believe it is more appropriate to say that most people are malfunctioning and we need assistance to get alignment $$$*
Most people simply have chosen the TV above their own loved ones $$$***
Sometimes when you are sad, you can listen to something sad, which makes you more sad which somehow makes you feel better $$***
It is 11:30 AM
Just got done hanging in the hammock for a bit
Weighing all these mysteries and what to do next & this and that
It is a rainy Sunday post Valentineās Day
So probably good for DoorDash lol $
Real ADHD is feeling like shit all the time, but not actually knowing it because you donāt feel like anything at all except for excitement or disappointment or extreme waves in between $$**
When I was in my 20s, I wouldnāt really trust much that wasnāt written on pub MD
Now that Iām in my 30s, I trust the tarot hippies more than I trust anything else lol $$***
It is 12:51 PM and we are making some oatmeal
We did some back-and-forth internally on the dashing situation
But as the caffeine helps clear up the morning fog, Iām beginning to see more clearly that the real priority is with my parents beginning tomorrow,
and I basically have to do an intervention with them starting with my mom $
Wisdom is knowing the second part of a date is most likely complete bullshit
And all you really need to know is the day and the month
Wink wink from the ancients on that one $$
Meaning is always in relation to risk
So No risk = no meaning
Thatās why doing something in this reality is more meaningful than doing something in a heaven based utopia $$$***
And if you do not have the risk of suffering, then you do not have the potential for pleasure $$$*
That was some good ass oatmeal
The organic you really have to boil a lot longer
and I think thatās an important note because clearly thatās a big genetic difference, compared to the traditional oats that break up in like three minutes $
Spiritual science from the streets is when you get your morning sunlight dopamine spike with your morning Neuro protective nicotine from the morning smoke $$**
While Some bio hacker is doing some NAD+ and cryotherapy for $1000,
only to spend the rest of the day in the office then go be lonely at home $$**
This is a run for the record books for sure~ weāre leaving Food Lion now with;
A 25 ounce Bud Light
and a fresh box of graham crackers lol $
And of course weāre gonna swing by and grab a couple more tablets of poison ā ļø $
And yes, I know that sounds bad but keep in mind the last beer I had- I poured out half of it
so this oneās most likely gonna be wasted
And these tablets,
I cut into 8ths and they last me usually more than 36 hours $
*Cracks beer šŗ
It is 4:32 PM and I am making some beef
And I canāt cook meat without a beer in my hand on a Sunday $$
Except I can and I often do but you get it $
I doubt Iām going to get close to finishing this 25 ounce Bud Light
But Iām gonna try $
I have not eaten any crackers today
And as of two hours ago, I could if I wanted to
So that counts for something $$$
I honestly have no idea how tomorrow is gonna go,
Iām optimistic and I actually have a good feeling about it,
but Iāve said that before and been terribly mistaken lol
at least in the short term so I remain open to all possibilities $
Also pro tip is to buy the fattyer beef and just save the fat for your gain bowls because it goes so well with beans and rice
Which I shouldāve probably bought an extra can of black beans while I was there, but canāt be perfect Can I? $
I am proud of myself for doing my extract review today and I think Iām gonna move that to once a week or once every two weeks $
*Burps loudly $
It doesnāt take much of a buzz to remind me that alcohol is probably my spiritual drug of most consumption
Iām not really bragging because yāall know my opinions about alcohol now
Which is just overall mostly lame except for the special occasion $$
But historically speaking,
especially beer & Mead & ale have flowed more than water $$
Especially for the sailor types $$
So itās important to remember that pretty much all of our ancestors were at least half buzzed all the time which is why everybody was so egotistical and an asshole or willing to line up across the field from a bunch of muskets for freedom $$
*Takes sip $
I drank a lot of beer as a teenager
Well, I guess maybe not as much as that sounds
But when you compare to the average teenager, Iām definitely in the top performers $$
I remember the first couple times I played beer pong,
Always came on some random weeknight / school night
And some sketchy party in some sneaky part of the suburbs somewhere $$
I remember this one time I just bought this 2 foot glass bong
And this bitch was nice man
And it was so big that I had to basically hide it under my massive winter jacket,
but the sleeve hole instead of putting my arm through
And I remember being 15 trying to carry this around between parties so that way I could be the shit and basically the equivalent of a hero for bringing such a magnificent piece and being able to secure it while being under age $$**
Because the Indian guy at the corner store was not selling bongs.. $$
AnyWho, I didnāt have that thing longer than a week before I got so stoned one night and passed out & that my parents discovered it when they broke down my door. šŖ $
Still donāt know why they invaded my room that night
But I lost that massive 2 foot bong $
(The bastards just threw it in the trash. One of many reasons why they are profane)
Thatās connected to the beer pong story somehow lol $
Somewhat unrelated,
but I remember
First few times we drank at the spot behind my house,
formally known as āsomewhere,
This was after a football game
And we got our drug dealer named bullet to buy us a couple 12 packs of the ice house beer
And I remember,
I drank them with my girlfriend of two weeks at the time
And we went back to a friendās house for a sleepover and I got laid
And it was awesome $
I literally havenāt thought about that weekend except maybe two or three times & that was one of best nights at the time $
That might sound lame until you realize how many dudes are virgins now against their own will $$$
And I lost my V card at 14 $
Take that incel losers $$$*
The buzz from the beer is beginning to buzz $
We got Julian Dory playing $
These dudes could totally be my friends $
If yāall see this one day~
What up lol $$$***
Not sure the arc that has taken place between the moment yāall reading this and now, but Iām sure itās a good one 1ļøā£ $$
If I dare say though
I love the content, but I donāt love the camera angles lol $$$
But credit where itās due-
I can see youāve been lifting Julian
So thatās cool š $$$
Anyhow
We are finished making the beef and now I just need to decide what to do with it $
The last meal was spinach and artichoke dip with leftover pita crackers $
Before that was six eggs with three pieces of Texas toast $
Before that was five eggs with rice and beans and butter $
Before that was graham crackers $
And before that was eggs rice, beans, butter $
And before that was beef, rice beans, butter, lol $
Oh yeah, I remember where my point was going with all that teenage drinking~ $
Iām actually really good at drinking if I want to be lol
Thatās why I did qualify for my (AA) membership $$**
And itās in a weird way,
Itās a good thing that I was an actual alcoholic in the past life because that justifies every time I got up in front of the podium and introduce myself as anāā āalcoholicā $
As I sip this Bud Light š”
This first Bud Light in like three or four weeks $
This Bud Light that I went to the store to buy instead of taking the shot shots of liquor that sit in front of my face on a daily basis $
The same bottles of liquor that have been sitting here for a year plus.. $
Above the old wine bottles,
other old liquor bottles that donāt even know what they are anymore because theyāve been there for years⦠$
*Lighter flick $
And the cannabis that I consume on a daily basis that rarely ever exceeds a gram $
And have maintained at that level for over four years $
And same with Kratom ,
which has actually gone down overall since beginning using it daily four years ago $
And both daily levels of dosing are laughable if you actually talk to real potheads $$**
considering most single joints have more than a gram in them⦠$$
I digress $
I could put it back four or five beers within an hour no problem
I have no idea what my body does with the liquid
I mean, it truly is basically magic cause I donāt even feel that waterlogged if I actually do drink $
But more often than not, the craziest it gets for me is four or five beers over the course of five or six hours
Probably while painting or some shit $
And I canāt even remember the last time I drank that much $
And I can probably count on both hands how many times I actually did get to the point of legal intoxication ever since I āleft the programā $
This is just one of many reasons why I have to sort out my shit via the Notes every day $
Because at this point,
my poison has become a medicine,
but has also become what I need to warn the world about,
but has also become the only real hope available at the tail end of all kinds of traumatic trauma $
*Kickflips $
OK, not really at the moment but you get it $
I also am testing out how the seven hydroxy interacts with alcohol šŗ $$
There is some anecdotal evidence that they can compliment and intensify each others effects
Which would be pretty sweet, honestly not gonna lie $
But will be careful
And now is the perfect time to get a notice on this thing $
Because I have drank a fair amount of beer while taking the actual capsules,
But thereās rarely been a time in which I mixed extracts and alcohol $
And friendly reminder that the amount of seven hydroxy Iām doing is less net alkaloids than even my traditional low dose of capsules $
(1/8 of a tablet equals maybe three capsules) $$**
And every time I drink on the capsules,
it did briefly intensify the buzz on the Kratom side
But because thatās kind of a work manās drug, it almost takes away some of the alcohol intoxication
Which is essentially like balancing it out $$
So I think it might intensify the good side-
The empathetic, emotional outgoing, social side,
While maybe helping me keep my feet on the ground $
I mean, if you think about it-
If youāre active every day,
And your food is like the best quality Whole Foods that there is,
And youāve got plenty of environmental exposure that you donāt even need to try to worry about,
And your family is actually your family and not on some fuck shit,
Then, yeah, itāll probably be pretty easy to be drunk 24 seven &$$***
Especially considering youād probably have at least 10 years as a child to learn all the habits and hunting skills you need to survive $$
And Iāve seen enough bad ass westerns to know that the drunk Cowboys are the hardest motherfuckers out there
So yeah šš» $$
I mean, the drunk cowboys did beat the smoky Indians⦠$
But I would argue that wasnāt a fair fight because mother nature kind of fucked the Indians on that one with the whole illness and alcoholism thing $$
And Iām not trying to condone some of the fucked up shit that our fore fathers mightāve done,
Because thereās plenty of liberals thatāll tell you about all of that,
But there is a reason why the term āsavageā exist $$
And you donāt have to read many explorersās diaries to find human sacrifice on the scale of NFL football games $$
Back to the drinking,
Iāve actually probably drank half his beer already and while I have a buzz, Itās actually already metabolizing really quickly.
And this reminds me why I donāt really drink that often,
Because my tolerance is actually really high
So sometimes itās not even worth it $
Cause now I have to drink a second half of that whole beer just to maintain my buzz and having that much liquid bread in my system is more uncomfortable than pleasurable provided from the actual alcohol $
Luckily though the beer was only $2.50 so it was worth it to get it out of my system,
but Iām probably not even gonna finish the second half
Cause itās just like drinking water $
The ironic joke is that for those with ADHD rest is always the hardest $$
I have also eaten another sleeve of crackers as of 6 PM $
I stopped drinking that beer a while ago and Iām about to pour the rest out
For you, dead Homies $
My overall mood & enthusiasm have pretty much flatlined
So Iām probably gonna try to go to sleep before long
I should be able to get a good buzz on tonight $
I think Iām gonna have to go to the movies for a bit to get my head straight for tomorrow $
Iām on the verge of eating more crackers
But I really shouldnāt lol $
I plan on having a pretty good meal whenever I wake up again $
For now weāre watching ā aloneā
Season 11 episode two $
Is 6:11 PM and weāre gonna go ahead and try to go to sleep
Kind of sad but whatever $
It is 8:53 PM and I actually was able to get a little bit of sleep
as good as any nap $
It is now 10:31 PM and weāre stepping outside for stogie
Itās been weird couple hours
A little bit of mobility,
but mostly mentally trying to digest shit
In some ways, I actually should be celebrating because this really is one of the first moments in the past couple years that I actually have had power and leverage
It of course, is in every other form other than financial regarding my family, but it is still undeniable $
(Soon, Was very painfully shown that I had zero leverage in all actuality because family doesnāt care about anything other than money at the moment)
Because all I have to do is show up and annoy them,
and they will be healthier
By the time it takes for them to start to disown me, I wouldāve been able to prove my point or secure closure that will last the rest of my lifetime
So it actually is a win-win of spiritual proportions $
Itās essentially the equivalent of putting my parents in a rehab except Iāve gotta do the rehab $
This is the last chance $
This is the intervention $
Everybody wants to say that you canāt save other people until they gathered for a reunion for your intervention $$$*
But sometimes you gotta be the only person at that intervention $$$**
And I wonāt lie to you
That is the hardest of all time
At least is certainly looking like it so far $$
I know the gods are watching
Or any consciousness worth consideration $
Weāre watching some show about the gunfight at the OK corral
Itās pretty good and well-made
But another old time example of how I canāt get over the nostalgia and the ancient ass feeling I get whenever I see some revolvers $
I stepped out right when they were doing a scene about the Civil War
And yes, it has taken quite a bit of restraint to not go into a tangent about my feelings towards that one,
And how I know that I was running around with a mustet in those times $
Fucking cannons and all that shit
I know I was a sailor too for most of the time before that
And was probably heavily involved in some weird political writing shit regarding the revolution $
Iām also fairly convinced my grandpa was in the CIA lol
Right after I first began to consider that- shit got extra strange
I mean, like really really really strange $$
Like orbs and shit $$
This is probably one of the cutest moments of all time with Alex snuggled up, which makes it tragic that I have to get up to go to bed for second sleep because Iām gonna try to nap for another three hours and get up and then chill and eat and stuff
I want a fresh brain palette šØ $
*Eats another sleeve of crackers $
I honestly donāt even give a fuck if I get a little fat
I probably need it $
It is 11:53 PM & time for second sleep for real this time $
Happy 3:36 AM $
We are up and weāre doing a classic throwback speed smoke šØ
It is a tribute to the first couple months of this madness $
If you donāt know,
A speed smoke is basically when you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom
and then you get distracted
and one thing leads to another
and you take as many hits as you can until you fall back asleep $
Itās the opposite of a pity party $$
Although if done incorrectly for too long, it could turn into a pity party $$
But Only if you are an amateur or below $$$
Otherwise, this is a phenomenal time to increase your speed & recovery velocity $$*
Because I probably wonāt be awake longer than 30 minutes, but this usually helps me increase the quality of my sleep for round three $
And I get to watch a little bit of the fugitive show and talk a little bit of shit along the way $
What more can you ask for? $
*Chews tablet $
Oh yeah, we basically just took the equivalent of six caps
Or really 1/2 of a tablet broken in half over the course of half an hour, lol $
I might be mad at myself for doing that for such a āfleeting momentā
But I would argue that thatās the entire point $$
Growing up in the suburbs with very strict teachers taught me how much fun it could be to randomly get your buzz on,
especially when your ānot supposed toā $$*
Emphasis on opposite of pity party because if a pity party can sneak up on you,
then why canāt this? $$$
It actually probably wouldnāt be that difficult to add up how many hours Iāve spent in the gym if you had access to my phone records and everything that my phone is ever seen me do $$
And Iām sure that all of my calls actually have been recorded somehow somewhere $$
And so has everybody else elseās $$**
So I predict before long,
There will be an AI that can go through an essentially recreate an accurate avatar based on everything digitally youāve ever done,
filtered through what everybody everywhere also thinks of you $$*
Now that would be pretty crazy $$$
Cause that would be pretty damn accurate and hard to argue with $$$
As of 3:42 AM I am at about four hits I think $
*Reloads bowl š„£ $
Ready ! $
Aim !! $$
Fire !!! š„ $$$
*bubbles roar $
** observe extremely brief but random ancient nostalgic war-like flashback $$
***exhales $$$
I think my eyes are about three minutes away from bleeding 𩸠$
And now I suddenly want that last bit of graham crackers $
I would honestly be shocked if this last box didnāt go straight to body fat if Iām being honest
Iām pretty sure my energy reserves were completely full prior to peeling open those precious golden sheets $
If you think about it,
Cinnamon is like red gold
And thatās pretty fucking cool
Maybe itās better if you donāt think about it $$
The tablet is starting to kick in pretty good now
Itās 3:46 AM
Gonna see if I can note when it fully āwears offā $
That is the one downside with the seven hydroxy
It is when they come on, they come on real good
And then they just kind of disappear š«„ $
Thereās no real physical crash but you can get emotionally dependent on it real quick if you donāt keep up with your busy work $$$**
Thatās another reason why I would argue the speed smoke max buzz Sesh is actually one of the most honest.
Itās kind of like Santa
Popping up in the middle of the night with all kinds of weird gifts
Rummaging for cookies and other sweet goods
Bringing up a lot of strange questions about the bigger aspects of life and country
And because Iām going right back to sleep after this, it helps eliminate the temptation and desire, and all that, to repeat the heavy dose $$$*
Therefore, ensuring I have at least several hours of recovery between any more dosing $
Because it be real easy to get in the habit of popping half a tablet before anything social
And that would work well for maybe 45 minutes on three or four occasions $
Thatās why with the seven hydroxy itās really best to microdose it or else itās gonna get out of hand really quick $$$***
But it is hard to microdose it when most of these companies want you to get addicted to the high doses $$$***
But if there was a company that made seven hydroxy Gummies with like .5 mg per gummy
That would probably be better than all the other extract Gummies that taste like ass and are really expensive anyway $$$
And I do think that for the medium to heavy level sedative products that those should be more balanced out with additional alkaloids like the traditional extracts
The clean ones that is
Or some form of plant leaf that is a little bit easier to digest or consume $$$
Because once again, the pro and the con about a heavy dose of kratom leaf is the leaf itself $$$
And Iām not gonna lie it does feel sketchy whenever I have to break out the razor blade and the space plate to do a āherbal supplementā lol $$$
But dare I say $
Iāve been trained for this š $$
Iāve got a couple days of edits to catch up on $
This whole family shit I guess is starting to settle $
Iām not saying I can force results and Iām not even thinking I can save them,
Iām just thinking that I have at least 30 days of trying, if nothing else that gives closure and silences any āwhat ifsā should things continue to deteriorate $$
Because if all this is really just about closure, then I can accept that
But I canāt accept not doing absolutely everything I can possibly think of $$
Situations like this,
sometimes the only thing you can do is imagine what you would want it to look like when looking back $$
So in letās say three years from now,
what do I want to look back on this moment and be able to say? $
Or six years or nine years or 12 years
Especially 13 years $$
Shit gets really fucked every 13 years if youāre not careful $$$***
I have this theory that pops up every time I begin to stress existentially~ that if you truly take the time to maximize the lessons each time you learn them,
Then you really donāt need to keep repeating them
So after you go through shit one time, you donāt have to return to it and you donāt have to sweat about it recurring as long as youāve honestly learned $$
Well, Iām not sure how much it means but today is technically Presidentsā Day $$
So thatās pretty funny $
I actually probably will end up going to the gym before I do any type of sitdown meeting $
Gives me an excuse to eat some more crackers
But also to help get my mind ready
And I miss the gym of course cause itās been like 36 hours $
Those crackers are so good man
And as a 4:09 AM, theyāre all gone
I have a lot of boxes now lol
It is quite a hilarious collection if I say so $
On another note, Iām gonna try to reduce the amount of layers Iām wearing daily until spring.
Iām really gonna try to let my body do most of the heating.
Iām obviously going to be a little dramatic about that for the first couple weeks,
but
I think thatāll be the best way to get rid of any excess body fat $
(Removed jumbled text)
Which is at least half of what I was wearing during the real cold
I havenāt used any heaters all night either $
And I donāt have socks on $$
And my feet were real cold when I got up, but now theyāre warm $
Embarrassing sometimes my reaction to something cold is really quite delusional or could be some ancestral spiritual trauma $$
Cause I could be warm as bitch, but the second I step on something cold,
Esp if Iām emotionally low on the totem pole at that moment,
It is more of an energetic pain than it is a local cold pain $$
Itās like my lizard brain begins to panic in a depressed way about how much energy itās gonna have to spend to combat the cold $$
Itās kind of like if I spent a lot of time freezing, then the second you unexpectedly contact something cold,
youāre gonna have the equivalent of an internal panic attack
But the throttling of energy kind
Not the vibratory anxiety that might actually be helpful for self warming lol $$
*Lighter flick $
As of now
The kratom buzz is probably a good seven
Now being 4:14 AM $
I donāt want to jinx it, but it seems like itās still gently ticking up $
I am about as baked as them crackers though $$
Just remembering another random,
I used to have this recurring dream that I actually was rehired at the same sales center I was fired from
This dream would be so realistic that there would be times in which I couldnāt determine which was real and which wasnāt after waking
Super weird $
āAppearing homeless becomes the perfect disguiseā
š„ø $$
ā it turned out to be a pretty good way to move so I decided to dress like a homeless man and act like a homeless manā š§āāļø $$**
Looks like the fugitive show has read my āadvice from a DoorDasherā Notes $$
Which I donāt actually have as a column, so donāt bother looking
⦠Yet⦠š $$
Thatās another hidden secret about AI and my sorting method,
Iām pretty sure I could just tell it to go to my website and extract everything regarding DoorDash and that would be its own book š $
Thatās a pretty sick book emoji
Red, black and white book
I like it $
Happy 4:20 AM I think it is time to do a victory hit and go back and lay down
I think weāre still climbing, which is great, but Iām also worried about spilling over which is when the sedative buzz hits the strange plateau and kind of turns into this weird,
I donāt know how to describe it,
Itās like your eyes nod out,
but you donāt really,
but you also kind of do. $
There are ass hats out there that actually Chase that type of nod,
Even though itās not like the actual opiate that you get,
Thatās why I try to avoid it
but in a weird series of events,
By having a low tolerance,
Sometimes you accidentally tick over the line just a smudge $
Well, thatās just part of the game baby $$
4:23 AM is pretty cool but not as cool as 4:32 AM
Just saying $$*
Reminding myself that there are 86,400 seconds in a day
For some reason, I keep forgetting that number
Lol, I even had to go back and delete the first number I wrote because I wrote it wrong
I originally wrote 88 600 $
Silly me $
Iām such a goof $
Time to go back to the third sleep $
Alex could not be cuter
And also more inconvenient, but thatās OK
Heās proved that if you are cute enough, you canāt be too inconvenient $$**
It is 8:18 AM and we are up briefly,
but Iām probably gonna go lay back down for a few to try to let my brain prepare for today $
More cold truth that most donāt want to accept is that it is easier to care for others than it is to care for yourself $$$***
Iām talking about in the healthy ways,
not in the ego self seeking consumption way $$
(cause healthy habits usually require hard work while helping others usually provide some kind of an emotional escape)
It is 8:58 AM & time for the sun walk
Begrudgingly $
Ironically, whenever a fboy gains a bit of muscle, it usually goes to their head first $$***
Sometimes itās easier to be a judge instead of a practitioner.. $$***
I think karma might just be the ultimate construct to help us understand the fact that youāre gonna come back as a kid in your family tree š² $$
If you fuck around and donāt have a family, then youāre gonna be in the next best thing which is usually not that good $$
(Unless itās one of those super honorable circumstances in which he sacrificed everything in which case you might not reincarnate back in this realm for the betterā¦)
It is 12:07 PM and we just smashed a big gain bowl
This time just rice and beans and butter to hopefully get it to digest quicker
With the plan of going by the momās house soon $
Dudes will do every single type of fly out there, but still be bird chested lol $$$***
It is 2:27 PM
& the meeting with my mom could not have gone worse
It went so bad that at least I finally got to say my peace..
Yep, that badā¦
At this point, I no longer care about next steps as long as I never have to speak like that to her in that way ever again $
I mean at a certain point all you can do is mock somebody
But itās highly disrespectful unless youāre 100% on point with it
And if you are, and they have no response, then you must walk away $$*
And that is the hardest movement of them all $$$$$$$******
I gave it a year
I gave it everything I had for that year
Enough is enough $
The new golden rule is never try to turn the profane into an activist
Never $$$****
(especially parents and children)
True mastery is not about elimination of mistakes,
It is about intentional management of them.
And using the mistakes to make the product better than if it was perfect $$$*
It is 5:18 PM and I am grappling with the weight of my own existence
While waiting on a couple dashes ofc $$
Today has brought up a lot of things,
And the truth behind them
And the truth is,
Iāve been dragging my feet on all this coaching at some false hope that maybe my parents would like to change
And they would become my first full-time clients for a bit at least until their health was no longer so dangerous
Cuz you know what they say about getting your own affairs and house in order, $$
I guess itās looking more and more like thatās a loss cause $
(But lost causes usually end up being priceless lessons)
It is 5:58 PM and I am doing my sunset Walk now.
Once again~ begrudgingly
I finished catching up on my edits from last week though so thatās good $
I keep telling myself that Iād rather hang out in the car for three hours a night even if I donāt get shit then have to do another awkward conversation with my parents
And that talk seems real tough until time rolls around and I have to sit and do nothing in a car š $
So that is another part of my big strategy is modifying my written work to quite literally be on the go $
And I think thatāll be the ultimate checkmate $
Is 7:21 PM and I am stepping outside for a stogie
Without the Snuggie
Itās probably mid 40s $
OK, more like low 50s but whatever lol $
The next month will be kind of fun testing my whole self heating theory $
I also popped on the scale earlier and I am as waterlogged as a Beaverdam,
but I did weigh in at 181 fully clothed with my heavy Goodwill clothes
So my true adjusted weight is probably around 176 $
Which last weight was right around 175 with a true weight of probably 174 Ish ?
All in all, I do think I probably gained at least one or 2 pounds of fat $
But itās kind of hard to tell if itās the brown fat which I know I was out of,
Or if itās just a little extra subcutaneous,
I really think itās brown fat because I noticed the water within my skin disappear disappearing during a workout & my pump growing three fold $
And also whenever I need to warm myself up instead of it taking three minutes, it now takes 30 seconds
Which is a dead giveaway of a muscle adaptation $$*
The reverse also works for efficiency
So Sometimes as you become more efficient with a movement,
it feels harder initially because youāre already defaulting to a lower gear āļø $$$
And by defaulting to a lower gear,
what youāre really feeling is the resistance being absorbed by your lower str muscle fibers,
Which is actually a good thing,
but it feels like a bad thing,
But if you just go for a little longer, youāll find out real quick how efficient that is $
The real test is three hours tho $
If youāre in true oxidative zone two,
using your type ones,
then youāre just gonna wanna stop after three hours but you could keep going if you had to $$$
But the kicker is- if you actually take about a 30 minute break, Youāll likely refill your most your energy reserves and youāll feel like you can go for the whole three hours again. $$$
Just some suggestions from an amateur backpacker $$
Just so weāre clear I claim to be an amateur in pretty much every area except with the barbell,
And dumbbells and probably every other formal piece of equipment $
So that lasted maybe about five minutes
And I did start to do what I call the ādrama shiversā
Which is when you kind of overreact to minor cold to trick your bodies internal heater to turn on the energy production processes $$
Emphasizing that your body has to go through a process of energy conservation every time you need it for whatever you need it for $$$
So you gotta give your body a little time to reload if you wanna actually feel the fun
Instead of it feeling like torture $$$
It is now 9:04 PM and I just ate another gain bowl of beef and rice.
Iām gonna go too bad after a very productive evening of a lot of written work and some Reddit questions and stuff like that. $
My furnace is working, ironically on the day that my heatās probably gonna get cut off
So thatās pretty cool $
It is 9:45 PM and sleep is honestly a fucking joke
I cannot stop ruminating
I donāt even know how many times I prayed and meditated and done all that āturning it over shitā
I canāt even begin to describe the self assurances Iām trying to give myself to get that part of my brain to turn off, but it just wonāt. $
The silver lining is that it really is exposing that the whole ADHD chemical imbalance really is mostly just trauma
The trauma is obviously what fucks up the chemicals
and then that builds overtime
But her words keep bouncing around in my head, even though I know theyāre not true $
And just a simple fact that theyāre still bouncing,
is the trauma
because every single time I have to remind myself that what she said is not true, is simply wasted energy $
It is energy that I wouldāve preferred to spend on doing something productive $
Nothing I do is normal and nothing I ever have done is normal
But just being blamed for it and yelled at for it over and over again makes me want to wish evil things $$
And being constantly put in a position to where I am judging myself for even thinking evil thoughts is what weighs the most on me $
Iām grasping at straws to try to just simply turn off that part of my brain,
but it is not wanting to shut down
I am all out of Kratom leaf powder
I have one 10 mg tablet left
I was trying to save it for the movies or tomorrow,
but Iām probably gonna have to do something with it soon
Itās just that I have zero desire to do anything
I canāt even watch TV šŗ $
Iām not gonna lie. Itās actually pretty hard to not spiral rn
If I wasnāt so convinced that Iāve got a lot of weird kind of eyes on me right now I probably would $
I know in the past, I have spiraled under easier circumstances
I just really have never felt this alone $
This is not the worst Iāve ever felt ~ to be clear
This is arguably one of the āstrongestā days of my life
And I know there are many many many people who understand,
I was answering a couple questions on Reddit not long ago about this kind of thing,
Iām just really upset that I just donāt fucking care $
The trauma beats me to positions to where I just donāt care $$
Which sucks cause I actually do care.
Itās literally physically I am out of emotions.
It was like being numb, but worse because I know I still have to do something about it $
It is nights like this that are absolute excruciating $
The other silver lining is I clearly have come a long way in such a short amount of time physically
Because if I had to hear those things I heard today,
earlier this year,
I probably wouldāve simply fallen apart
Even though I was hearing those exact same things all year..
My point is,
at this point I can literally laugh at it,
even though it is a laughter of absolute sadness $
I donāt even know what the right thing to pray is anymore $$
My heart goes out to everybody whoās found themselves in this situation $
And my words are directed at those who put others in this situation without care or concern or consideration
because that is the true evil $$$
Sure,
you can have politicians hiding as pedophiles and all of that,
But the reality is is that most people are so concerned with emotional validation and their own emotional comfort that theyāll do pretty much anything in their day-to-day to simultaneously avoid conflict and push aside those closest to them $
(Which is why you have people thinking they can just do whatever they want and get away with it)
I really am proud of myself $
I just donāt have the words to describe the level of ass that I feel like right now $$
That is probably my best try $
Iām angry that I canāt even watch a movie
Iām angry that I canāt do anything even though Iām begging God to help me $
And most people would view that lack of God solving everything immediately as evidence against divinity,
but sometimes you just gotta suffer fam $$*
Like thatās just it $$
Any sleep is now a joke
Iām sure Iāll eventually fall asleep for a few hours
And my body is so conditioned to repairing itself extremely quickly whenever about ego actually finally decides to shut up $
But this is once again,
just a joke about trying to establish some consistent routine underneath all of these crazy circumstances $$
Which is whatever honestly
because again Iāve gotten pretty good at adapting and being flexible $
And whenever magic wand gets waived & when my financial shit is solved,
then I really will be superhuman 𦸠$
So I guess thereās a method to the madness $
It just makes me so fucking sick dude $
I normally would cry,
but I literally have cried so much the past year cuz of all of this that I just donāt care anymore $
(And we have completed another successful rumination loop) ā°
And I say that about a lot of things,
all melodramatically like everybody else, but I mean that for the record,
Biologically I really think Iām at the point where Iāve come full circle trauma wise
and I just do not physically care because of the amount of times my family has put me through this song and dance with some kind of Threat or some kind of ideation $
What was once my reaction to care and try all that has just simply ran out
And I just donāt care $
So congratulations evil you won that battle $
And I guess Iāve gotta learn how to pick them $
But that doesnāt mean the war is over
Cough, cough, reincarnation cough cough š· $$*
So yeah, Iāll see you on the flipside motherfuckers $$
(Kickflips but intellectually)
Netflix is doing that weird thing to where for some reason, It literally cuts the volume in half.
Itās usually times like this when the little shit adds up to a point to where I literally lose it and snap
So I thatās why have a punching bag in the garage for God sakes
And that bitch was booming over the summer..
Cause honestly, if I didnāt have any cannabis or kratom right now, this would be the definition of hell
And also exactly like my childhood $
I just said that I was trying hard not to spiral, but I actually think thatās not true,
I donāt think I have the energy to spiral and I think Iāve been so conditioned that I just donāt have the tendency to do it anymore.. $
The next bit of energy I get it, itās just gonna go back to the notepad $
Or whatever $
I can tell when itās really bad whenever I stress smoke $$
the dopamine hits that you get from cannabis is a joke compared to Adderall $$$*
So anybody that wants to have the discussion about āself medicatingā
And wants to pretend that cannabis is anywhere close to the strength of Adderall,
Feel free to message me $$$*
Because cannabis will not hijack your bodyās natural operating system,
like Adderall will
And after a couple months on that shit, you are basically completely broken without it
& Good luck getting anyone to understand that
Especially while youāre literally bugging out over every little tiny small thing and you have zero control of your emotions $$***
So it usually starts as a trauma based but ends up to converting to some kind of biological cluster fuck
thanks to modern medicine š $$$***
The issue with modern medicine is that~ it does not want to take the time to deal with the trade-off and consequences and opportunity cost
It just wants to go forward with the most powerful next procedure and deal with whatever it is later $$$*
I also have a headache because my calories are all fucked up
Because during that meeting, I obviously couldnāt eat
And then the stress completely ruined my appetite for the rest of the day, even though Iāve eaten twice since then
But Iām saying that once you hit that āoh shit switchā
Metabolically everything changes too $
That is one of the physical manifestations of trauma $$
You can get it from a barbell or a bitch $$$*
But if it makes you say oh shit,
and if itās something that makes you want to quit and rest,
assure that it affected your body in some kind of fashion,
itās just that the emotional trauma usually causes us to react in a way that causes more damage somehow
And then we feel so bad about that damage that it blocks any healthy operating signals $$
Just need to reemphasize that if I didnāt have cannabis or kratom right now, I would be truly truly miserable
Not even in the addict sense because since climbing back out of bed after failing to go to sleep,
Iāve only taken three hits and no more than a third of a tablet
But at least donāt biologically feel suicidal $$
The last year has taught me that no matter how bad I feel physically I donāt have to want to kill myself anymore
Nothing will compare to being where I was at this point a little over five years ago $$
I will gladly take no heat and weird food and complete madness with the self-esteem that I have
Over the comfort and complacency of that trauma hell $
And more and more Iām realizing that Iāve obviously been a mamaās boy my whole life
Mostly by default
But I wouldāve quit listening to her so long ago if it wasnāt for the program
In a good and bad way
I can tell, spiritually speaking, that she has fulfilled her purpose as it relates to the community, which was to raise me and save me from insanity
Which ironically came, I guess that the cost of her own
So Iām guessing that her spirit is imprisoned her body and her ego consciousness making her absolutely unbearable,
that way I avoid becoming like her
Which is supposed to be some kind of noble self sacrifice,
Which is what Iām telling myself so I donāt have to tell myself that sheās probably so self-centered She doesnāt even notice. $
It is 5:26 AM and weāre getting up for a little bit
This is one of those moments where I feel like I actually slept in
& man Is it a big difference $
So Iām staying in a bit while I digest everything and get ready to go on this insane work-a-thon $
Itās bittersweet when your work gives you so much pleasure and purpose because it can become easy to hide behind it $$*
Some people are really just one big energy pathogen š¦ $$*
In a game of one construct versus another,
Known as life,
The real cost is just what youāre willing to pay for knowledge or wisdom $$*
You might be willing to pay a higher cost at first for the same lesson,
But after youāve seen that tape a couple times, itāll lose its motivational value $$
Apparently, today is the lunar new year holiday
It occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice
Which is a 15 day long festival, kind of thing mostly celebrated in Asia to celebrate the arrival of spring
But that is pretty freaking crazy when I think about the timing and the symbolism because this two week period (usually the second half of February) lines up perfectly of all my major life-changing course correcting shit š© $
As much as I keep trying to get my daily routine on some kind of consistent rhythm,
Thereās few words to describe the beauty of catching the sunrise after a really good workout $
The same can be said about the sunset $
The same can be said about the midday training sessions $
The same can be said about the evening super well fed training sessions $
My point is that theyāre all amazing in their own unique way
And I just love alternating too much $
So as of 6:41 AM, I think Iām gonna go lay down for a few
Just a little bit to let the crackers digest!before going to the gym and kicking off this day the right way
With some back $
Yesterday was booming so today is likely going to be dead lol
Crowd wise $
It is now 9:09 AM and I am waking up
I was able to get a little bit more sleep $
It is 12:42 PM and we have just finished a gain bowl after a glorious back workout and delivered one order $
Camped a bit in the parking lot while getting other digital work done $
Gonna try to recharge a bit before getting back to digital work $
Shit starts getting crazy when people start watching the people that are watching you $$**
Just thinking about aestheticāno manās landā body fat wise
And how once you get lean enough and you work hard enough,
your body starts storing water subcutaneously,
which causes a lot of aesthetic variance during the day,
But because you probably worked your ass off for just a little bit of aesthetic change once you see that water slush in your little flabby flab belly,
then youāre probably going to have an emotional meltdown
Until youāve pretty much gotten so lean that youāve eliminated all forms of body fat, you really will not know the extent of āno manās landā
And youāll routinely swing between thinking that you either have suddenly lost all your gains or have gotten fat $$$
Just had a pretty unnerving order,
The lady at Papa Johnās was literally screaming
And then the people who ordered what I was delivering, ordered it to a nearby house but they were working on a construction site so I had to go up to a random ladyās door to get turned away awkwardly,
Then do a phone call to the client who also didnāt speak well English,
To fumble around for like three minutes before I found the construction site & completed the order $
It sounds super minor,
but this is the kind of situation which makes most people lose their minds $
I know because I was on the edge of losing my mind,
even though it was something too small
But it was undeniably not my fault,
And I was in a pretty good spot biologically before,
So once the lady started popping off at Papa Johnās,
I could tell immediately that this was more like a psychic intuition,
I could literally feel her stress and the customers fear, and all of that $
And then I could also tell that in the past, I wouldnāt be able to determine i was intuiting their emotions and I would just blame myself for something because I already felt so shitty and traumatized to begin with lol $$
And looking back through my notes over the past couple months,
especially during November and December when I was doing a lot of dashing to take a break from all of the writing and coaching,
I logged in great detail in real time my emotional reactions,
and if they were biologically/chemically imbalanced, or some kind of psychic warfare $
Itās psychic warfare leading to the imbalance lol $$$***
But it is 2:59 PM and I have arrived back home
We should have just enough candy money to make tonight fun
But in keeping with our discipline intentions,
We will probably try to dash again at peak time to see if I can earn some food money while I get back to working on the resistance games $
It is 4:17 PM and we are running to go get some candy
Sorry, I meant poison ā ļø $$
It is 5:19 PM and weāre gonna go ahead and do our evening walk and then likely get back to work and hammer out some social media stuff
I might have to do a caffeine shot if I keep lagging $
Once you master resistance, you master friction
Once you master friction, you master acceleration
Once you master acceleration, you master pretty much all forms of energy $$
Some people are so broke all they have are material things $$$***
I just got back and my rice cooker doesnāt wanna work which is a pretty big deal if it stops working honestly
Whatever $
As I say that it, now it starts to work again, so who fucking knows
But I can almost guarantee that I just lost 2 cups of rice
Whatevs
Classic resistance and some petty fuck shit from some stupid entity Iām sure $
So for the record,
this is me praying away all the bitchassness in the neighborhood for that matter $$$
But for real,
little shit like that,
not only wouldāve ruined my entire night creatively speaking,
but wouldāve stressed me out for a couple days
Just being honest $
But I also know a lot of creatives who probably wouldāve lost their shit completely.
Whenever I would have to deal with something inconvenient,
I would never act out,
but I would simply just ārun out of energyā
Pretty quickly if Iām being honest $
And then when I would get back home or whenever Iād have some personal time, I just wanted to make sure nothing else went wrong
as sad as that sounds $$**
I havenāt seen Jeff since the snowstorm sadly (the š¦)
But in a weird way that makes me feel better because if he had been hanging out on that branch in front of my face for so long and I missed him up until now, then that makes me a pretty terrible artist $
I bet you this next batch of rice is gonna be all kinds of fucked, but who knows maybe weāll be wrong and maybe itāll work out better $
(it came out great, and the cooker has been working great so I was obviously being a diva) š§āš¤
I did do a shot of caffeine for the record
I am out of the leaf Kratom sadly
But on a happy note that does give me a bit of time to get all of the alkaloids out of my system and allow my tolerance to drop back down
Because micro dosing the seven hydroxy doesnāt appear to be impacting my overall tolerance $
It is 6:25 PM and we are getting ready to get down to it (lol what?) $
I donāt want to rush judgment, but I think my rice cooker came through $
For some,
family is their greatest asset
And for others, it is their greatest liability $$$***
For some,
being greeted by some relatives would har them thinking theyāre entering hell because thatās the last thing they want to see when they die $$$**
For others, they could withstand any and every condition imaginable as long as they were with the right people $$$**
Itās all a matter of perspective $$$
As of 6:50 PM, we are doing fantastic with step-by-step work and not losing our shit creatively speaking that is
Or swerving too hard and trying too hard and all of that $
I actually want a cigarette emotionally,
but not physically,
which is kind of weird
Like my body is saying ānot right now chiefā
But from a actual activity perspective, I want to smoke if that makes sense $
Itās hard to describe because Iām probably gonna still smoke here in a few minutes,
But it is kind of noteworthy how I have zero craving
Again, I would consider this the anti-craving because Iām having to talk myself into smoking lol $
Which is ironic cause I want to smoke so I can keep talking $$
I have not had any crackers all day except for the very last bit in the morning before I was officially up
And guess what?
No craving
The exact opposite actually
Iāve had to force-feed myself the last two bowls of rice
Once I started eating, I scarfed them down very quickly
Which Iām coming to realize more and more is a very healthy approach from an aesthetic and a lifestyle perspective because I am no longer controlled by my desire desires for food at all
And because Iāve officially Biohacked every element possible, I no longer even need protein shakes or a pre-workout or any neurotic supplement
I can just eat once or twice a day if I have to, and be just fine and happy and craving free $$
Or I can run up into Food Lion and buy as much of their processed poison as they got and take it home and then take it to the house
If you know what Iām saying $$
And as I havenāt eaten quite as many carbs today,
And nowhere near as many as last week,
Cause judging by last weekās edits, I was eating Hella cookies lol
So Iām starting to drop a little bit of the excess water to get some actual insight into my subcutaneous body fat
And for the most part, I mustāve gained at least a little bit of fat
But I donāt think it could be more than 3 pounds $
Keep in mind that at some point early July I was in the 130s
And this week I am officially clocking in in the 180s
albiet with clothes and Hella water and literally trying to be fat. $
So I mean weāre talking almost 50 pounds in less than a year
Thatās true naked and afraid numbers
I mean seriously $
I mustāve been under 3% body fat
I was certainly wasting all the way muscle wise but I could still easily throw around my body weight on a barbell
I know Iāve gone on that tangent a couple times,
Please forgive my ego,
But it is things like that, that I overlook
Because for years and years of just training for fun, that conditioned the core of my body and my frame to be an absolute machine
Because when I was basically starved, and at my lowest, that workout was still very easy, RPE wise lol $
It is 8:21 PM
I have finished six eggs and a can of hash
It was pretty filling
I am digesting that as well as some intellectual nonsense as always $
Kind of funny how somebody reported one of my posts thinking that I was in trouble or something ?
Suicide wise
Which was kind? although unnecessary
I guess I could see how they could misconstrue a post I made,
But thatās what happens when you take shit out of context and you donāt read the rest of my stuff lol $
(I think theyāve done it two more times and I think someoneās just trolling me at this point lol)
Anyhow, I am feeling phenomenal all things considered $$$
I was thinking earlier,
I think the human stomach was designed to digest the best with you laying on your left side,
For some reason after I eat a big meal and I want to go to sleep, my instinct is to go sleep on my left side
At least for an hour or two, and then I turn over
And if you look at the basic anatomy and shape of the digestive track,
that fits perfectly in mind with my theory $$
Cause it looks shaped kind of like a kidney bean,
And with that being said,
I think that it is more natural and instinctual to eat a big dinner and then basically go to sleep $$
Which conflicts with a lot of these new age Bros who say not to eat before bed
Hell, even I recently was saying I need to stop that
But when I paused and I started trusting my intuition,
and then I look at the actual shape of the stomach,
And why the fact that Iāve been eating right before bed my entire adult life and Iām actually in the fit category and everything has been OK,
Just got me thinking š $
*lighter flick $
You know thereās one thing I havenāt tried,
The mid smoke cigarette $
*Lights Stogie š¬ $
You know I hear in England,
They have a dirty word for cigarette that starts with an F and ends with a G with an A in between.
But thatās just what I heard $
In a weird way, Iām happy to report. My nicotine tolerance is improving
Without the cravings as well,
which is good
Back in the day I used to average probably half a pack a day,
but that was also going to two or three meetings & working in a sales center
So you know the highest pressure smoking environments $$
I basically just was smoking enough not to look like a loser lol $$
It is 8:47 PM and we are gonna go lay down and see if we end up going to sleep
Might have better luck than yesterday I hope $
Then that way I might actually be able to get up and enjoy a movie or something $
It is 11:40 PM and weāre doing a little toke toke lol $
Imagine being afraid of the drug that started your entire religion lol $$$***
My sleep schedule seems fucked up until you Remember that comfort kills more than anything wink š $$
Good morning world $
It is 12:20 AM $
I am weighing some dietary decisions
This is actually somehow a little bit later than I expected $
Also have had quite a few epiphanies while weāre at it
Naturally, about consciousness and luck and odds and probability & all of that,
And how everything is just one giant computation,
And that there must be some kind of hierarchy which determines how things actually develop and play out,
And if you trace that far enough back,
you can get to some kind of spiritual manifestation of good luck and this & that š $
Iām thinking about some oatmeal
Iām not quite sure how much longer I want to stay awake $
Looks like 2 1/2 hours is a sweet spot to where I can basically complete a full round of deep sleep
And because just about everybody wakes up every 90 minutes - 3 hours at least for a moment or two, the game is really how fast can you fall back asleep $$
I donāt really want to stay up for much longer
I was actually gonna go right back to sleep, but I felt so energized
And Iām just not that sleepy even though Iām just not that engaged $
I know before I went to bed I was talking about going to the movies
But Iāve think Iām gonna try to go sleep a little bit more and then come back for more like āsuper weird time of the night/morning moviesā $
It is 12:43 AM and just like I thought that, shit did not last long so I guess weāre going to make some oatmeal and upgrade the buzz and go on from there but Iām leaning towards doing legs pretty early so I can get back to work because I can tell my energy is restoring faster $
Also, Iāve only had 2 1/2 hours of sleep, but I am as rested as a couple āfull night sleepā compared to on days in which the trauma bullshit was at itās maximum
So at the time I did not realize how terrible my rest really was,
And probably still is,
Because of how well my body is at compensating and repairing itself fast enough $
I can get almost a full 8 hours of sleep, physically recovery wise,
in about three hours now
At least compared to how much I used to recover $
Thatās magic motherfuckers $
But yeah, Iām gonna go ahead and make oatmeal
And apparently spend 20 minutes boiling the shit lol $
I meant to note it earlier,
but the fugitive show is back around to the first couple episodes of doing itās big rerun, which is kind of nice
so Iāve been letting that play in the background instead of dealing with Netflix and all that bullshit $
I also ran out of dishwasher soap $
It is 1:08 AM and that shit was so good
It hasnāt even fully kicked in yet but emotionally im feeling a little better from a restlessness perspective. $
I think itās because my body was recognizing Its glycogen levels were starting to drop,
which is why I get all antsy and shit sometimes. $$
Not really so much like a blood sugar thing, but more like a internal panic
This is because Iāve taken careful observation between the types and timings of different meals and intervals of activity $
Because if my body did not recognize that legs were coming up in a couple hours,
And if I wasnāt 24 hours removed from crackers,
Then I probably wouldnāt have had those cravings $
Because if I just pushed through the cravings like I always do then my body will just start metabolizing whatever fuel resources it has
Again, another bittersweet thing about being so lean
I got good at burning fat out of pure stress
And then once I get into that mode, then I do feel at least mostly stable except I have no additional energy to invest in things like bodybuilding or relationship building lol $
So on muscle days
usually a twice a day
With some kind of muscle focused morning session followed by a movement focus evening session $
Movement days usually are when we compile everything into one session $
This is so weird,
my space heater has hijacked my remote
But only whenever I hit the mute button $
So whenever I hit the mute button on my remote, it cuts on the timer on the space heater
This shit started happening a couple months ago
I basically have to unplug it after it does that cause I no longer get control of my remote back unless itās off
So weird $
More evidence that Iām overdue for a mushroom trip is the fact that I have zero desire to do any external reading
The buzz is probably half of what it was last week though so that is pretty note worthy $
I have not had any leaf in over 24 hours
And I havenāt really thought about it
Iāve gone through the equivalent of probably one full tablet in the past 24 hours now
Which is once again, pretty good $
Because at peak tolerance level,
One tablet would probably last me one night as I would split it in half over the course of three or four hours $
So just from a strict net consumption perspective,
My total herbal supplement use is down by at least 50%
And obviously any true pharmaceuticals are nonexistent
But in that category,
I would include processed and prepared food such as from eating out like I used to all the time or even choosing the super convenient but not so healthy options from the store
And no real supplements either $
Caffeine squirt and basic creatine does really not count
From like the true neurotic comfort perspective $
Because any true fitness enthusiast is probably addicted to all kinds of high-level expensive prissy supplements just to help make it through the neurotic day $$*
If you peep a bodybuilders supplement cabinet,
youāll see what Iām saying šļø $$
Just about every dude youāll ever see ever has looked at some pretty fucked up shit online,
but nobody wants to talk about that $$*
Sorry if that was unexpected but thatās what youāre gonna get when watching the fugitive show $
See previous month notes for more on the fugitive show if youāre just turning in somehow $
One thing I really do like about the seven Hydro
Which again is basically the real reason why I choose it half the time
Is it doesnāt seem to be too dependent on the contents of your stomach $
Meaning seems like you can take it on a full stomach, and it still kicks in relatively quickly
Although I will admit that there are sometimes where it seems to take closer to 45 minutes $
But usually, itās within 10 to 20
And again last for maybe 45 minutes
Equivalent to a cup of coffee without the come down
And obviously feels a little bit better $
I really donāt think anyone whoās experienced the two would argue that $
I am on a personal mission to safely and ethically introduce the world to more substances that are not moldy or come from Colombian drug cartels $$$**
I could plug the cut that I made about how most coffee has mold in it $
BRB, youāre gonna go ahead and do last week edit while I have a little dopamine $
It is 1:39 AM and we did it
Itās easy when I do it before sunrise
But it gets hard harder and harder to complete as the day drags on Iām noticing $
The days in which I ramble a lot, though are kind of hard not gonna lie $
Because some days I include content from other walls on the daily wall
One because sometimes it needs to be read twice,
Two because it makes it easier to sort and edit later,
But it also makes it longer to edit sometimes so some days take me a bit $
But whatever itās pretty fun
I just have to take a few days off every week or two so I donāt get too neurotic
And God help me if Iāve decided to ramble a lot on those days that I have to play catch-up but thatās why weāre doing this
If I annoy myself, then I probably annoy most people around me $$
I say all that,
and then my following thought is go ahead and smoke the rest of that cigarette and talk some shit
Then come back in and finish smoking the rest of the quarter gram and talk more shit $
And by talk shit, usually it is some kind of borderline depressing existential autopsy lolš© $$
*Screen door squeak $
Yo, it feels fucking amazing out here tonight $
But I had to re-edit that last line twice because it originally said
āI found a noteā $
And Iāve said this before,
but every now and then,
voice to text records some shit that is not really that close to what I said
Like some poltergeist shit $
Sometimes itāll do it in a weird cut out fashion with whatever is playing on the TV
So if I finish a rant,
then voice to text might pick up on a couple following words that might be playing in the background and usually the arrangement of those words is highly suspicious $$
And also, I can tell part of the texting programming uses my historical text history to try to predict some kind of text or speech
Which is good and mostly correct,
Iāve even caught it adjusting in real time,
But one of the cutest things that it does is use some words that Iāve used with old friends in old text message threads š§µ $
So half the time when I say carbs, it says Careb
See it just did it
It usually actually defaults to Careb,
which was my nickname for my late best friend $$
But it also does that same trick with a crazy ex-girlfriend slam piece from 8 years ago⦠Lol $
Every time I want to say āset and settingā lol
I canāt give it away because that would be too close to talking shit and I really have no passive aggressive pettiness towards her $
Last I saw her was, I think a week or two after Covid began
And some weird sexual stalemate standoff in her apartment in South Charlotte $
Which I did not penetrate
I had stayed out of that hole for a while, physically and philosophically $$
You know,
I just realized all of this shit comes kind of natural because I spent literal years doing the same thing
With flocks of random people
Not saying I was a shepherd,
I was more like the copperhead snake hiding in the edge of the field half the time $
But when it comes down to late night, cigarette smoke & shit talk,
Boy have I earned my stripes $$
I was a fucking third-degree black belt before I began the school of the mysteries r years ago $
It just did it again
This time by inserting the name of an old best friend
Who had the strength to walk away from me as I joined the school of the mysteries basically
And I mean that, sincerely
Because we had turned a failed romantic relationship into some weird friendship that was basically cock blocking us romantically
And I just did not have the emotional energy to do anything different or make any other friends
I was able to meet back up with her and catch up briefly about 18 months ago, which was nice, $
AnyWho $
Iām pretty suspicious that nicotine helps with digestion $$
I will confess
is moments like this in which I wanna take a half tablet and say fuck it
But thereās a chance Iād be falling asleep by the time it actually kicks in $
And I try to be real careful whenever I take half a tablet to do some kind of rebound otherwise it becomes real tempting to take more $
I am actively talking myself into it lol I will confess that now
But on the real note, it would be better to take it now
When I have all this unnecessary energy and itās ideal timing
Because I can pretty much go to the gym first thing
And itās legs
And I just ate a bunch of oatmeal
So you know, thatās kind of mandatory
That street science for you $
But Iām actually not gonna take a full half. Iām probably gonna take like a third. $
So yeah, I just took probably
30% of a tablet at most
Not trying to be cute, just trying to be precise $
It is 2:12 AM and we have started the series āDahmerā
And if you donāt know, then consider yourself privileged
I saw it a while ago, but this was before I could appreciate the very subtleties of good acting and storytelling to this degree of course $
Hereās my recent theory
In line with both political parties being captured and controlled by one secret global elite,
I think Trump and pretty much most of the current political puppets are a part of everything
and I think the last election was deliberately rigged to make it seem like it was both stolen and won on a righteous rebound
And I think the 2016 election was also rigged, but not the way most think
This is all to manipulate both sides of the fence,
And I think all this Epstein shit is actually exposing not only the demonic sexual brutality, but also the fact that thereās undeniable strings being pulled by the same group $$$****
It is 9:05 AM
Iāve been floundering around for a bit
Iām extending my rest window as long as I can
Probably gonna go to the gym sometime around one or 2 PM but honestly who knows
Might even try to make it a little longer $
Iām about to be begrudgingly go on my son walk
Iām waiting until my neighbor goes back inside
The super sweet, nice wholesome older couple that live at the end of my cul-de-sacā¦
Who are really nice and pleasant alwaysā¦ā¦
Iām just that low on the dopamine scale that I really donāt wanna say anything to anyone $
Pain is a price
Not a punishment
Even though it usually feels like it
The distinction is after you pay the price, you can let the shit go and move on $$
So after you feel pain,
youāre supposed to listen to the signal and adjust to it accordingly
Not accept it as your fate and wine throw a pity party š $$****
Ironically, most people will not know what it feels like to be able to hit the boosters when you need to
These the same types of people who are probably still getting other types of boosters if you know what I mean $$**
Iām trying to do my son walk part two but Alex keeps looking super cute every time I wanna go leave
So I tried to play with him for a few more minutes
Until he lose his interest $
For the record, heās been eating a lot more in the past couple weeks
Heās getting a little chunky again
Heās dropped some of the most impressive poops Iāve ever seen as well lol $
It is a pretty gloomy day
This is about as overcast as it gets without raining
Talk about Grey
But itās about 60° and just a little windy so you know, my kind of climate
Just hope no strangers are around āthe horse š ā$
I said, āof courseā, but I couldnāt change it lol
that one was too funny $
The rice and eggs seem to be digesting nicely $
I did what Iām gonna call a āfinger lickā
Which is just a little bit of the seven hydroxy dust
Because itās damn impossible to chop those bitches into clean quarters and 8ths
So usually you end up with one or two clean quarters and a couple flakes and dust that you can compile accordingly $$
And I still think that my tolerance is slowly dropping $
Finishing up some FUN legs
Amazingly- Iām in the oxidative gear
So likely my body is reacting to the fats I ate more than the carbs
But now Iām suspicious as to what happened to that midnight oatmeal.. $
I think thereās a bit of it floating around my liver
And Iād probably find out real quick if I pushed it some more
But I did what needed to be done āļø $
Just realized it looks like Iām flexing when I lift my arms to put my hair up
So thatās a new rule- $
Youāre not allowed to have a ponytail unless youāre jacked $$$**
Kinda similar but more controversial,
If I have to check under your undies to verify your gender- Iām jus going to go with what you tell me
If you fool me- then good for you $$$***
But do not even think about trying to police pronouns around me unless itās an obvious situation and someone has it coming $$$
Otherwise- gender donāt matter as much as conduct $$$****
People neglect the respiratory side of cardio
But Iām telling you- if your shit with your oxy-conversion,
then you are going to have a very difficult life $$*
My point is, it is better
3:1 ratio wise,
To focus on the breathing aspect of cardio training,
Which directly relates to effort $$
You have a heart
but you actually are the breath energy that flows thru it $$*
I will note for the record that todayās workout was probably the first I remember distinctly favoring that energy pathway recently,
And afterwards, I feel equivalent to a runners high,
Point being that I think the runners high is usually only accessible when you actually cut on both your cardio and respiratory systems instead of just running on glycolysis or Phosphagen $$*
And as of 1:26 PM we have arrived back home $
Also, just remembering that before the oatmeal, I did have a very high fat meal with eggs and canned hash so that also adds to todayās fuel selection I guess $
I am kind of nervous about my post workout carbs because I have zero crackers on standby
And Iām kind of tired of rice $
But if I am correct,
and if my body did cut on its metabolic engine
and if I do have a good bit of fats and sodium and all that on standby,
then I actually should begin to feel better in the next 30 minutes or so
and more energized as my body gets back on that side of the fence $
(One week later, and this seems to be continuing and improving, almost exponentially energy wise)
Or Iām gonna crash and burn and be miserable until I get crackers $
And that is the game, ladies and germs
And what a game it is $$
I will say this,
even though it might not look so good considering how much Iām bouncing all over the place topic wise,
But now that Iām back home,
my motivation mood and Drive are at least double what they were once I woke up
Again, Iām contributing this to actually turning the engine on and the type of workout that I did
It was all the cables and all functional stuff,
A couple movements that I probably am not gonna continue much longer,
but it was fun to experiment with going a little heavier on some new stuff
And so just getting back into that kind of flow really made a big difference
and is why I promote training in the morning as often as you can cause usually when shit gets carried away, itās to the good $
It is 2:57 PM and we are doing another sun walk
And I am trying to digest both a big bowl of oatmeal and philosophically my next move $
It is 323 and after a brief little recharge, weāre gonna get to reading and then get back to work
Feeling that I need to catch back up on trauma and all of its tendencies in light of recent events
I cannot recommend this book $
āThe body keeps the scoreā
By Bessel van der Kolk $$$
I am shocked that voice to text got that name right and first try lol $
It is 5:11 PM and we are gonna do some website review work and try to deliver a couple pizzas or something lol $
What is 7:46 PM and we are making some canned ham lol
So thatās cool $
Dashing was super slow
But Iām getting a lot of work done to the point where I can start marketing more programs soon $
Finished up some aesthetic edits and finalizing some very important elements of the resistance games $
It is 8:51 PM
And I think that canned ham was super salty and started to upset my stomach a bit, but the sodium is helping my brain just not my motivation lol $
I did also eat a big bowl of rice and butter with it so we should be on the higher fat side but then again, who knows $
Probably gonna end up heading to first sleep soon $
Was also able to schedule a few personal posts
Thursday morning
Friday morning
Saturday afternoon $
And a Monday morning draft mostly $
Happy 12:25 AM $
It is now a Thursday $
Never underestimate a Thursday $$
We are on a sleep intermission $
Bro Alex is eating like crazy again $
āMcCurry lands at the county Jail with the key to escape hidden in his mouthā š $$
I donāt think Iām gonna be awake for long $
I actually slept pretty good before rebounding like a motherfucker and now I feel like I can go run $
Poop š© $
Lol, that last line was organic written by voice to text myself $
Classic poltergeist shit
Whenever I leave voice to text running and I stop talking, sometimes it picks up on random words
That are always usually pretty funny $
I think itās the ghost boyz $
It is 1:56 AM and we just completed last weekās review $
It was on the longer side, but I did a better job of not getting too carried away for getting carried away sake $
I just love carries. What can I say? $
I am craving some crackers pretty hard
But after reading last week, I think these are emotional cravings because it seems like Iāve been eating pork and crackers on Thursdays lol $
Actually, if Iām being technical
Iām on like a six day rolling routine it seems
If I ate a bunch of ham last Thursday
But I ate a bunch of ham this Wednesday just in time to do Thursdayās edits then that is very interesting because I repeated a lot of that behavior organically $
And I do think I am getting to the point to where if Iām not careful calorie wise, I will start gaining fat
Especially when It gets suddenly warm as hell like it is today
And I donāt even need a heater
Thatās gotta be 1000 cal swing compared to being 13° at least $
Fuck it Iām gonna force myself to make some eggs
But even as I say that out loud and Iām begin to walk to the kitchen, Iām losing interest lol
Weāre gonna press on
we can do this
Probably gonna keep it on the reasonable side though
Think five eggs plus a little rice and butter
That was an amazing bowl as usual
Very grateful for it
After some brief debate, I have decided to go out for another evening smoke
Pretty crazy right now
I am now down to my last five cigarettes
I could take it or leave it from a nicotine perspective
I just Iām trying to enjoy the night more than I am the smoke if that makes sense $
And I am all out of Kratom so thatās a bummer but I should be able to go to sleep after this
This being 2:28 AM
And then maybe gym first thing?
Itās weird how the worst part of the day, I am the most reluctant to take any substances
Being in the morning $
But as I said that I am kind of correcting myself because the night is absolutely soul wrenching if I donāt have something to do
And just thinking more and more how I relate more to the moon than the sun
As if my paleness didnāt emphasize that $
I mean 8 1/2 years is a long time without a fucking cigarette
Thatās a long time without a late night evening smokes
And yeah, sure I was vaping there on an offer for a couple years,
But I even quit that on accident right after the first real mushroom trip around the moon $
And I say all the time that vaping is far more addicting than smoking cigarettes
Because from a lifestyle behavior perspective, you have no real defense
You can just whip that adult pacifier out every two seconds if you want
As somebody who never smoked in the mornings,
And rarely ever smoked more than half a pack a day around the worldās greatest chainsmokers,
I found myself vaping pretty much from sunrise the sunset
And I began to relate to what those addics were talking about as far as the first hit of the day $
But as I stand out here on my front porch in the middle of suburbia
Enjoying the amazing 63° weather
Moderately clear sky
With my snuggie
My full stomach of mostly fats
And a warmth in my heart that made even the most historic snowstorm suburbia has ever seen~ laughable $
Knock on wood šŖµ $$
But honestly, if it were to suddenly get cold again, I think Iād be OK with it as long as I got the crackers on standby
But also, I will need to confess that I think Iām coming to an end as far as newbie Gaines are concerned with the cables $
For the past two months really Iāve been pretty much exclusively using cables at least for upper body,
With single limb isolation work for leg machines and some body weight stuff $
mostly to really focus on the isolation of the isolation
Both inside and outside the gym, I guess lol $
But it really has been incredible for Blindspot hypertrophy
and just basic kind of conditioning because when youāre doing one limb at a time, youāre going back-and-forth the whole workout
So there really is no rest,
But you donāt really need rest,
which is the best part if you train in the right gear āļø $$
But I promise you, once you reach failure, your face is gonna be contouring to all kinds of weird and funny $
My problem is that I enjoy smoking more than I enjoy whatever it is Iām usually smoking
So circling back to the vape shit thatās kind of what got me in $
Although I never really got out of hand with it $
I maintained with a gas station juul just fine
And the lowest pod you could get $
It is 2:38 AM now and weāre gonna go ahead and head back to second sleep
Likely starting off the podcast $
For the record whenever I go to listen to a podcast, I try to lay down on my back as if Iām meditating and I usually end up falling asleep but first I slip into this kind of deep idle for about an hour $
It is 8:19 AM and I am awake
I am not hungry and I am not motivated to do much but thatās OK
I did sleep pretty good $
I predict that probably in the next hour or so the natural energy should arrive and Iāll be on my way to the gym $
Until then.. $
*Lighter flick $
Choosing how you want to die is choosing how you want to live $$$***
But if you never address death, youāll never realize true life $$$
It is 8:30 AM and Iām going to my son walk and then Iām probably gonna start a pre-training ritual on the sooner side because even though Iām groggy, my body wants to move $
It is 9:17 AM and Iām watching Matt Rife out at the āworldās most dangerous gymā on YouTube
Same one that Will Tennyson was working out at and getting bullied at yesterday
And I will give them credit that it is one of the most brutal dog, insane, weightlifting, muscular endurance workouts you could probably ever come up with
So credit to them for the discipline and the willpower element, but the exercise science is silly $
But AnyWho, weāre watching this and then weāre gonna go to planet lol š $
It is 11:21 AM and we are finishing up a nice little push workout and weāre gonna go by the library for the first time in a while which Iām a little nervous because they might just arrest me on the spot after how late I was on the last round of books $
I mean, I think I was probably two months late in returning them bitches lol $
But we got an order right when we opened the door lol so I guess weāll be back later $
The fact that I came to the library when I genuinely thought the world was ending, when I was borderline in psychosis over the summer just speaks to my character,
Cause for about three weeks of that absolute most insanity, all I did was pretty much read all day long
I reread a bunch of books that I had and then a whole stack of religious literature from the library
And I got a couple books on the apocalypse lol
Letās just say shit made a lot of sense $
Thinking out loud that musicians and dancers are the most detailed sensitive next to painters $
We got two solid dashes and am hitting the lion in uptown mint hill
Gotta spread out the graham cracker damage $
So we got two boxes of cinnamon graham crackers
One pack of generic Food Lion dishwasher detergent
One pack of cat treats
And one can of black beans $
I just realized that this is the one year anniversary when I got my car repossessed lol
I might be a day or two late but
That was hell week for sure $
It is 1:25 PM
I am trying to recharge and get back to work
Iāve eaten most of 1/3 of a box of crackers, but Iām actually anti-hungry
Itās note worthy because this is the exact opposite of how Iāve been recently
But is the exact same as how I usually am in a good way overall
I can tell Iām running on fats
But Iām nervous about my hydration cause it probably on my electrolytes $
Most peopleās relationship is the equivalent of eating when theyāre not hungry
Which is why they donāt feel shit $$$***
It is 2:34 PM and we are going on a sun walk
And it is around 72° and partly cloudy
But completely beautiful $
But itās kind of funny how much colder the cave is
I can tell my body is being very sensitive with temperature
Which is kind of weird honestly because I should have plenty of fuel and it is quite delightful $
I also remembered earlier
Sometime this week back in 2020 was when I interviewed at Redfin, which was my big real estate firm
And last year was the same week we interviewed at Restore and academy sports
And I ranted about academy sports before, but oh my God was at the worst most cringe hellish interview of all time $
And way back in 2015 this wouldāve been the time I applied for redventures and had my first couple interviews over the phone
I do remember the first in person interview was on my three-year anniversary
So pretty significant and symbolic $
It just seems like February & March are when the major cycles began for me, employment wise $
It would seem middle of the summer between the solstice and the seventh are equally as significant because I have made major transitions during the same couple weeks as well $
Last summer was extra strange tho and kind of redefined the term high strangeness $$
Iām actually glad I wasnāt writing that much then because it would sound so insane $
It is 5:05pm and we are at planet on the tready
Lesss gooo $
It is 6:04 PM
We did about a half hour very late cardio
Muscle focus running
Just to activate some shit
Not aggravate $
Sat in the parking lot for a half hour trying to dash but got no real luck
Did lots of soul-searching and meditating and praying and guiding this and that of course
And the motivation to do the hard stuff which is working on āthe resistance gamesā has arrived, so Iām gonna go with it and trust $
It is 7:33 PM and we are stepping outside to finish a little short
did a lot of work on the resistance games, which is really good
Itās about time to start publishing this shit soon $
This is the hard part of the process in which itās basically trial testing and burning off all of the excess bullshit and waste and making the final decisions as far as the aesthetics and operational features $
And itās coming out better than I ever thought
More inclusive
Simpler and yet more dynamic and complex
The details are insane $
But thatās been the hard part about it all $
But I wouldnāt change it for the world š $
Iām just saying that if somebodyās super high up and sits in the super classified spiritual alien projects that needs a good trainer,
Then I understand you a lot more than you might think lol $$*
Same applies to mentally disabled artists $$*
Funny how those two go hand-in-hand so often š§āšØ $$*
We got an amazing podcast thanks to Chris Bledsoe and AJ and the whyFiles basement podcast $
I think voice to text did another upgrade when I wasnāt looking⦠$
And I am not complaining $
Go ahead and add another gain bowl to todayās tally
This time, rice beans, butter, and six eggs
Iāve also eaten one box of crackers on the day
And I had some rice and eggs at the midnight movies I believe $
I do think Iāve gained a little bit of fat lol
I know Iāve been back-and-forth, but itās confirmed. Iāve gained at least probably 3 pounds.
But it might be closer to six or seven lol
Cause itās starting to go to my glutes
But once again, thatās a good thing as long as it doesnāt get out of hand
Cause I wasnāt hungry at all today
And as long as I kick my engine on early, I should be pretty good through the whole day $
Is 8:47 PM & time for a cigarette $
It is 914 & time for first sleep $
Now it is 1118 and we had a brief bit of sleep but gonna get out for a few for digestion
š $
Good morning world $
It is 1:54 AM
It is another sleep intermission $
So far so good for the most part $
I am still traumatized physically in the sense that when I do wake up, I wake up literally ready to run for work or the equivalent $
Is a weird adaptation,
but an ancient one I am sure $
Weāre just gonna leave on the fugitive show
Fuck it $
*Licks finger $
If you know, you know $
*Lighter flick $
He he $
*clears bowl š„£ $
Times like this remind me of the blueberry oatmeal $
I do not have any blueberries unfortunately but itās no big deal $
This episode of the show has this one bald motherfucker, who killed his girlfriend and his girlfriendās kids
But no real reason other than they got annoying
And then he goes on the run of course $
But before he goes in the run, he reports them missing,
even though theyāre dead down the hall
What a piece of shit $
I will note for the record that I have upgraded the buzz at 2:12 AM $
I mean, weāre really going for at this point
And I believe life is really about the spontaneous 2 AM smoke off $
Itās the perfect time
Between 2 to 4 AM
You capitalize on all the natural creative brain waves
You avoid all the negative Nancyās
& You are connected directly to the Devine $$
It really is the best
It is what the government doesnāt want you to know about
Is why they want you to keep you on a 9 to 5 $$*
I wonder how many mobility points Iāve earned after midnight alone $
There are a few different types of way to earn mobility points after after midnight if you know what Iām saying $$
But if you find yourself alone, then all you need is a nice long firm stick $$
*TV cuts off $
HAHAHAH bro, thatās wild
Literally right when I finished that last line $
I think I made the spirits giggle $
š $
That one fugitive that we were watching ended up becoming pimped out by some gay dude before landing in prison for 15 years
But hasnāt even gotten caught for the murder yet
Just being a piece of shit in other areas $
I think itās time to step outside for that second half of the cigarette š¬ $
Further evidence of both reincarnation and divine planning and the fact that things happen in reverse is the fact that I didnāt understand I wanted to be a writer or any of the sort until I was 31 years old
But, this is after a perfect career of content preparation
Because the last 18 years of my life have included some of the most bizarre and strange and hilarious and heinous Fuckery of all time(s) $
I mean, I am in a perfect position in all areas
Physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and even financially $
Cause no oneās gonna do this shit unless theyāre broke as a joke lol $$$
I have no real complaints
just a bunch of concerns about the health of others
And I think thatās a valid complaint for the angels and ancients and aliens lol $$
If theyāre capable of concern, that is what they are concerned about
No doubt $$
Man, is it a beautiful 2:33 AM
I wish the world would appreciate these hours more instead of doing everything they can to avoid them $$$
Itās already open, Itās just me and the spirits for now mostly
But my gym will never close
And in fact, will prioritize the third shift
It will become a true church
Because thereās no reason why you have big ass auditoriums and all those empty rooms and all these big ass buildings on every corner and you got all these people starving in the streets $$$
When we got all of this economical environmental bullshit
and everybody is so overweight because they keep eating instead of needing to go hunt their food $$$
And if you look at most hunters, theyāre still fat
so my point is that itās not that physically demanding
But itās very spiritually rewarding
If done with good balance $$*
Bro, this is the first time the nicotine hit with almost half a tablet and man is the buzz A1 $$
These words are flowing free $
These are the light blue cigarettes so Iām hoping that means theyāre the light ones
Cause this moment is addicting, Iāll tell you that
But I feel like Iāve actually never been more sober $
Because I joke, but the buzz that I carry right now is probably equal to some grande bullshit from Starbucks $
And Iām gonna come up with a better analogy soon š $
But I canāt even use a beer to compare it to because itās not even that strong
Intoxication wise $
Alcohol creates distance $$$
But apparently nicotine and seven hydroxy make you very present $$$
And the nervous Nancy side of me is nudging me to make another note about the seven hydroxy just in case thereās any activist tuning in, $$&
You gotta be very careful with it,
I donāt recommend taking it unless youāre taking inventory more often than the tablets
Seriously
Cause even though you canāt really OD on the seven hydroxy,
you can certainly get to a point where you feel like it
Or you can become dependent on it because itās so effective with less crash and come down then caffeine $$$***
But otherwise,
I recommend sticking to the plant powder capsules
Until you pass the fire safety course, of course $$$
It is 3:29 AM and we have finished our film review
Call it Fridayās favorites
Where I just go through it and I review footage from this month over the last few years and favorite the standouts $
Iām in a weird spot because I actually feel really good work wise and Iām kind of on a creative roll $
The buzz from the last bit was good, but didnāt get as strong as I anticipated
In a good way
So you already know my thinking⦠$
Cause Iām not sleepy at all
And I feel like I still have a good bit of creative energy
Iām thinking Iām gonna refresh the buzz
Probably smoke another stog
And keep it rolling $
So far,
Iāve been awake for 90 minutes
Usually, I have a solid three hours of energy before I get sleepy
Which would put us for around 5 AM
And then I can easily get whatever amount of sleep I need left
I think Iāve already got four quality hours
Or two good complete cycles
So I probably only need maybe another two hours
But weāll see how I feel $
I think Iām gonna smoke before I upgrade the buzz
This is an accountability
Because as delightful as a seven hydroxy can be in small doses
It really is still more for body sensation and less for mind or intellectual stimulation
So when you take a higher dose,
Thatās gonna last longer in the background than the emotional buzz,
Again, emphasizing the difference and dosing with this substance because itās so different
light versus heavy $
I gotta be honest
Iām usually up around 3 AM, but Iām never outside
Unless it was an old job or something
Or some kind of adventure
There were a few times as a kid in which me and my friends would sneak out in the middle of the night for no good reason
Other than to say we did it
And we did it all right lol $
I remember this one time in November
I mustāve been 12
My close friend and I had a habit of getting into some fuck shit on Friday nights whenever he would come to the neighborhood to visit,
This is the same friend that basically introduced me to everything and the ways of the streets,
And he was the one that would pressure me into sneaking out,
Looking back now,
I could see how much a ānervous Nancyā i was all the time
Total old grandpa shit is a young kid,
I just thought it was āanxiety disorderā,
And to be fair,
that has to be part of it when you look at the biology from my dad side of the family,
Cause Iām sure thereās some spiritual shit there but there is overwhelming evidence of what I would be like if I did not treat my biology with something $
Cough, cough, buzz cough cough
Cause Iām swerving, but I wouldnāt be out here talking if it wasnāt for these substances and the bits of poison ā ļø $
Digressing $
It was cold as fuck that November night, and we snuck out for no real reason,
I think it was after a big football game uptown,
And the big plan was to come back home and sneak out and go to the shopping center near the house $
Why? $
Once again, the world may never know $
I think this wouldāve been the beginning of all of the graffiti on the back wall of the Dollar General $
Realizing more and more the symbolism & the synchronicity of that day a year later, in the same spot & in the same month when I was 13 $
Because when we got back from that football game and we snuck out to the shopping center, guess what happened? $
Thatās right $
we got caught $
And the cops took us back home $
And honestly, I donāt even remember what happened after that
I guess the consequences werenāt too bad because it mustāve been one of the first times $
Iāve gotten in trouble for other petty shit, of course $
Like this one time when I was probably around 10 or 11 years old and we were the neighborhood big shots
Football wise, of course $
And we would just demolish the arrogant eight-year-olds who would come over and stay at their grandparents house during the week after school $
I mean, it wasnāt even a competition
I would take on five of them fuckers at one time with smear the queer $
I gotta be careful with word that these days in light of all this pronoun shit $
So to be painfully clear, Iām talking about tackle the man with a football lol $
But I will not disrespect the streets or the truth
That game is called āsmear the queerā $
And if you want to assign sexual orientation and make it all political thatās on you
We were just having fun with a football $
(It was around before the LGBTQETC movement)
But we got in trouble for throwing mud at this other eight-year-oldās house one time lol $
Why?
Cause thatās what kids in the suburbs do with nothing better to do $
They sneak aroundthe shopping centers and buy absurd energy drinks
The They drink them on playgrounds to practice for the day that that the energy drink turns to alcohol $$***
Little did my 16-year-old self know that the energy drinks and alcohol would become⦠$
Thatās right, ladies and germs š¦ $
Four Lokos $
Basically, an urban legend at this point
But it is what you get when you take a liter of liquid,
And you make it an alcoholic pre-workout
Especially for all your repressed resentments $$**
So jumping to 16 yrs old,
And the playground at the elementary that I once trained at,
Became the party place $
And there were a couple times where we got so shitty on the playground that the cops would show up and weād have to takeoff running through the woods $
Shit gets crazy around October- November these parts lol $$
But yeah
That night at 12 years old when we snuck out and got caught was basically like the Super Bowl of sneaking out $
Cause weāve been sneaking out pretty much every weekend for a couple months at that point $
Iām concerned about the statute of limitations but fuck it⦠$
Part of what we would do is shoot cars at the airsoft guns lol $$
And yes, I recognize that thatās probably part of my DoorDash karma
And Iām cool with it $$
Just doing what I can to not get my paint job fucked $$
And to be fair, even though I definitely do not condone that now,
That is pretty minor in the realm of hood Rat shit $$
As we were using pretty weak guns šŖš» $
But this also leads to a good Segway to the arsenal that I developed by the time I was 13,
And Iām telling you, if I did not get into narcotics & street spirituality,
100% would ended up in some kind of special forces $$
dude even at 13, I was the neighborhood Navy sealš¦ $
I got a feeling this is gonna be a really good year
You hear about the pendulum? $$
You usually have to suck before you score
Most people are just too sore from the suck though $$*
I love how itās probably 10° colder in my house now lol $
And that is North Carolina for you, baby $
But yeah, it is 3:49 AM and I think it is a no-brainer $
*razor slice $
Isnāt it gonna be pretty funny in a couple years when we verify that the nicotine neuroprotective benefits outweigh all of the cancer bullshit as long as you do it in moderation? $$$***
And the fact that you have to go outside to smoke,
So a cigarette provides just enough environmental exposure to provide some base metabolic benefits $$$***
Remember, how smokers didnāt really get Covid? $$**
Or had much more mild experience.. $$
(Trust- I spent all spare time around champion chain smokers )
Moderation is everything $$$
(Says the recovered āalcoholicā)
If lifting up heavy stones is the key to eternal life,
Than a little bit of poison is the key to potent philosophy $$$*
Just trying to make the good people feel good about the good shit they do $$$*
Random thought (or message?)
Ive worn enough collard shirts and tucked them in,
to never have to worry about it again $$$
It is 10:02 AM and weāre going on the sun walk
The beautiful 60°
Weāve been up for a bit, but slowly getting warmed up this time
Trying not to succumb to the traumatic bullshit first thing cause Iām getting text messages from the profane $
It is now 10:30 AM and it looks like weāve got a random storm rolling in
quite windy This one is. $
Karma strikes again
The spots of the gym are full because of the card collection store next-door is having some kind of release and thereās a line down the street basically,
Iām not kidding. This is some bullshit.
Iām fucking searching and I canāt find shit lol
OK, Iām being dramatic but I now have to walk halfway across the parking lot lol
And it was just storming
Fucking nerds $
Reminds me of when I used to camp out for Jordanās for money so I guess I canāt talk too much shit $$
Squatting on the smith bout as foolish as it gets in light of the alternatives $$$****
Just kind of realized that a pony tail is like having a permanent backwards hat š§¢ hahah $$
Ima bring back the colonial ponytail
Wearing it low instead of too high $$*
It is 2:42 PM and I have been doing a lot of other work so kind of been distracted
And also last weekās edits were long
Which is looking like this week will be too $
I had a very passive aggressive interaction with the mom,
You may recall a couple weeks ago when the major āhistoric snowstormā hit Charlotte, that I stashed my two snake plants at her house to survive the cold snap š«° $
Even dropping them off then was some petty bullshit,
But these are snake plants and literally didnāt even have to water them $
And allegedly they even purify the air so you can guess another reason why I wanted to put them over there⦠$
So of course today I get a very passive aggressive text
āWhen are you going to pick up your plantsā $
So even going to unlock the door was extremely traumatic
and I probably got some zone five cardio just by picking them plants up $
Luckily, it was a quick dash
And Iāve been perfecting that technique you could say⦠$
Other than that, I feel fantastic physically and metabolically speaking $
I had a pretty decent bowl of rice and beans and butter
I am not hungry whatsoever
And I have not seen the real carb monster in at least a week $
Now seems like as good as time as any for another sun walk $$$
RuneScape taught me that the worst thing that could ever happen to you was if you go into the wild was to run into a high-level magician
Cause you were fucked $$$****
They would just freeze you in place and then throw rock balls at you lol
Or they would sync you into stone and throw ice rocks at you $$
They were very creative lol $$
It is 5:34 PM and weāre going on a sun walk
And doing some soul search
as to be expected $
Just thinking about how calorie math gets real fucked up when you actually trigger a muscle and signal it properly,
Letās say you hit legs and you actually trigger some hypertrophy for the first time in a while,
Instead of just working your strength fibers and all of that isā¦
Well, the rest of the day your legs are going to be far more Carb sensitive
And on paper,
you might think you need 300 cal, but your legs might think you need double that $$
And even though you donāt really burn much during your workout,
you end up consuming and utilizing more after you finish training,
Therefore, completely growing off the calories versus calories out calculation š§® $$*
Also, if you follow calories in versus calorie out too closely,
youāre just gonna end up force-feeding or under fueling at some point $$$****
Now I will say that calories in vs calorie out is a decent approach for a long-term endurance tracking,
But is a terrible approach when considering anything new $$$
It is 6:30 PM
And the power has suddenly gone out,
Heard a loud bang and then it disconnected,
Then a couple surges and a couple other strange sounds,
And then it cut off for good $
Bittersweet
Cause itās dark lol
And now the TV is off and all of that jazz
So we are legitimately camping šļø $
Just makes it a better time to dash but Iām not getting Jack shit on that side of things at the moment
Oh well $
Was starting to worry for a moment there about dinner and cooking,
But thatās the beauty of a gas stove I guess $
And I do have a few candles so now is as good as time as any to set them bitches up $
Iām getting suspicious that maybe a tree fell considering how windy itās been $
We got the candles lit
We got the mobile hotspot on
We got a text from the power company, saying theyāre aware,
Got the laptop fully charged and playing where we left off on the podcast,
We have a positive attitude that is aggressive and competitive somehow,
We have zero DoorDash orders though so maybe they got hit with the same power outage,
We got enough eggs to satisfy even the strangest hunger signals,
We got a couple cigs left,
We got 7/8 of a tablet,
Weāve got two bottles of liquor that I really am not interested in, but I figured yall should know $$
It is 7:19 PM
We have stepped out for a nice evening smoke
It is a delightful 70° and I think the wind has calmed down
The power is still off at least in the traditional sense
Can already see some people rummaging around with a flashlight
Like myself, lol $
We ate seven eggs extra runny,
They were pretty good,
I wish I couldāve put some rice in them,
but I actually did not want any carbs so thatās actually a win of itself $
We are ready to ready to rock $
The line above this one got out of order at some point so Iām not sure exactly when I said that, but I think it was right when this power went out lol $$
Iām feeling pretty good energy wise, $
You learn about muscle memory real quick once the power goes out and you go to turn on the light switches that wonāt work $$$*
And you do it back to back after laughing at yourself every 30 seconds
Thatās ego for you $$$
The unconscious $$
I guess weāre gonna do some work on the resistance games because thereās really no better way to celebrate the power being out $
It is 8:37 PM and we are going to first sleep
And I love how one of the ads for ābreaking points podcastā was a Redfin real estate ad,
They were talking about how the Redfin agents closed twice as good as regular agents
And theyāre not wrong⦠$
Annddd the power is back on!
Shout out to union power $
Just so grateful to be this grateful š„¹
No sarcasm lol $$$
As of 9:33 PM I am having no luck sleeping $
I have no real buzz to note,
So Iām gonna go ahead and change that he he $
I guess weāll see if thereās anything worth watching $
Not sure whatās making me Want to write this down at 10:08 PM but,
The whole Epstein and disclosure shit and evil Cabal shit,
Iām pretty sure itās gonna come down to some kind of proof that reincarnation exists and that there are actual scientific laws to it,
but the fucked up part is that the government and everybody in power has known this for pretty much ever,
and has used their money and resources to trick people into basically remaining enslaved,
either literally or philosophically $$$*********
There is also a higher force of good that knows this,
and that has worked to manipulate this global cabal to ensure that they donāt eventually win
but you cannot teach a lesson until after the mistake $$$****
This is why itās always referred to as paradigm shifting,
or how most cannot wrap their heads around it,
Because operationally speaking,
all you had to do was go to church and actually practice some decent shit to avoid a collapsing consciousness upon revelation
(the specific religion, and denomination not really even that important)
Because the tenants and principles in just about every major religion compliment the proper patterns to transcend
karmically speaking $$
This also fits with all the occult shit
And with all art and strange psy phenomenon $$
And also explains why once people actually begin understanding it, it is evil on a scale of next to impossible to comprehend $$
Happy 10:13 PM
Iām eating crackers $
I donāt really care what the body fat percentage is,
You donāt know energy management until you try to create some shit
Artistically speaking $$$
It is 10:44 PM and weāre gonna try this again and had to first sleep
Wish me luck š š“ $
Happy 1:43 AM $
Iām kind of lying because itās now 2:11 AM $
Iām in just kind of marinating in low level, anxiety and restlessness
Nothing crazy
and honestly, itās even halfway enjoyable $
Iām watching the fugitive show like old times $
I have no real K buzz
And I think Iām sleepy enough to skip it tonight $
Iām surprisingly pretty hungry $
Fuck it $
YOLO $
Do people still say that? $
Iām not sure why, but something told me to put on Peaky Blinders
So I put on Peaky Blinders $
But I think itās related to the cigarette craving that I have
Now to be clear, Iām actually physically anti-craving,
Biologically i actually donāt really want the cigarette,
Biologically I probably want to be asleep even though I just did some mobility and it was amazing,
Iām craving the midnight peace
and air $
And Iām actually going to ā forceā myself to finish the final eighth of the tablet
And see what happens $
( š )
Todayās gonna be somewhat of a lean day on that front I can feel it,
Which is fine, considering my training and biology are better than they have been,
And its legs,
And I already got a lot of good ideas on how I can maximize the movement portion for today so that way I donāt rely on any herbs $
I really can feel Iām in the final stages of publishing the TRG
This is gonna sound weird considering how much Iāve been actually writing, but because that training deck is so mathematical and analytical and logical structural and all of that, I didnāt really view it as a āwriting a bookā $$
But once it started turning into the aesthetic and to the game elements,
and how to stack this in that ,
and how to brand this in that,
Thatās when the creative resistance went to a whole new level $$
And of course took everything I had and thought I loved $$*
With a smile š $$
And I want to make this very clear, $
I would 100% do it again in a heartbeat,
The last four years,
I was about to say āwords cannot describeā but then why else would we be here lol $
Iām saying the meaning outweighs the madness $$
But only after this last year of soul searching to a whole new level of fuckedupness $$
But Iām gaining momentum,
Iām no longer spending my days learning
Beyond the esoteric āalways learningā kind of thing $$
Iām no longer having all of my energies sapped over small meaningless tasks $$
That has always been the case,
but whenever youāre working for other people places or things,
I guarantee you that it is nine times easier than doing it by yourself $$*****
And doing it by yourself is 13 times easier than when you have active resistance from everyone around you
Including country $$*
And as of 2:43 AM that is the first half of our cigarette š¬
Delightful $
Itās a small victory, but I actually probably had more like a solid third of a tablet
So thatās pretty sweet $
Might give me enough mental motivation to do last weekās edits so I donāt end up with a pile of shit on Monday $
Becoming a writer & a comedian is a lot like becoming sick with vampirism,
Starts off slow,
But Suddenly, you start becoming nocturnal,
Then Becomes very difficult to be around certain people,
Then You Have a sudden thirst for blood ,(philosophically, speaking of of course)
But can only get inside those who invite you in (philosophically speaking of course) $$****
I donāt even mean that last block as some kind of broken premise,
even though it is one
Thatās just a fleeting thought lol $
Other similarities include;
-Everything gets super esoteric,
-being broke as fuck and forced to reside in strange caves,
-Becoming somewhat smelly,
-Discovering accidental methods of extending life forever,
-Rejected by society, you bounce around strange cults $$$*****
Thatās how you know itās a good premise when that much comes out that fast $$*
And I also hear that thereās no cure
So thereās that $$*
The fact that I am so pale, just adds to the evidence $$
Iām just thinking more and more that my natural cycles align more with the moon than with the sun $
Well, itās 2:59 AM now and we finished last weekās review because it was a short one $
Went kind of hard at the end there on Valentineās Day lol $
The beauty of doing this long enough is realizing the reality of each and every day that I might get a couple good nuggets and the rest is mostly fluff $$
But the less I try and the more patient that I am, the better these nuggets get on their own natural accord $$$*
But it is a skill trying to capture the thoughts as they come by because it is like trying to catch an arrow $$
I have just been standing & kind of twisting though for a bit which is indicative of those dessert crackers being unnecessary $$
And I think itās fair to go ahead and officially claim for the record that Iām looking at at least 3 to 5 pound fat gain $$
Itās just hard to tell because water weight can fluctuate and blur those last couple pounds $$
Especially once you gain a little bit of fat and you suddenly jack up your sodium and you suddenly start wearing four layers of clothes at a time and therefore donāt even look at your physique for three months $$
But this is actually really good because 3 to 5 pounds of fat fluctuation within three weeks or so is a very healthy thing $$
(Provided itās intentional and calculated)
Just think of you had to go on a really big trip,
You would want to be able to store that much quickly,
But more importantly,
youād want to be able to burn that off pretty much just as fast $$
Because on a fully active day in the right hydrated conditions, you can easily burn a pound of fat $$
Emphasis on active
and this is assuming youāre actually doing work of some kind,
Not chilling in an office $$$
But for example,
even a light day on the trail & youāre looking at atleast 3500 cal spend,
And with the right technique & tempo, you can emphasize the fats and the oxygen and all of that $$$
So youāll be comfortable while you burn fat $$
Three days on a trail during an overnight fun weekend and youāll come back at least a couple pounds lighter,
And youāll still be able to eat as much as you want as long as you can carry it out there $$*
What better incentive?
What better way to honor our ancestors?
What better way to use our tools and technology than to neutralize the bullshit and compound the great shit? $$
Yes, thatās right. Iām talking about it again. $
Partying in the woods $$$
I donāt remember if I actually wrote it on a wall by now or not,
But this reminds me of the time when I was 16 $
This wouldāve been mid October time when the sun began to set right around 7 PM
(That becomes important soon š ) $
My friends and I have been working hard all week long somewhat near the creek creating a brand new party spot $
This was no ordinary party spot,
This was after our last two party spots have been busted by the cops,
So we had learned from our mistakes and we had come up with a perfect solution,
Because the last couple times we got caught, it was due to the bonfires and beer pong lol $$
I am not exaggerating $
But when all the leaves fall,
and when you have two lines of neighbors homes half a mile on either side,
youāre basically in the middle of a suburban shootout $$*
A suburban shootout is when two nervous neighbors see something suspicious at the same time and call the cops $$
Then the perpetrators get to run from the cops thru the mixed course of different elements, including creeks and small steep hills and all types of different fences and random SUVs coming out of nowhere when you pop out the bushes on the sides of the streets and shit $$
Digressing,
Our answer to this visibility vulnerability was a course to build a big ass wall to block the view $$
On one side at least,
because we have strategically angled our spot by the creek to block the other side of the street view,
Just highlighting the fact that this was all going down on the edge of a creek,
One that required crossing..
The other entry trail was directly through other peopleās yards, so less than ideal lol $$
This was no ordinary stick wall, however
This bitch wouldāve made the ancients proud
And this was constructed by a bunch of potheads and emotionally unstable teens just look into party $$
Itās true dimensions mustāve been about 30 feet long and at least seven or 8 feet high
No exaggeration $$
Behind this wall,
Beyond the sight of these nervous neighbors,
Were our amenities for our new party spot $$
We had a very old and sketchy mattress that I donāt even remember where it came from or what our intentions were with it⦠$
(sounds bad, but it wasnāt meant for something like that, I think we just needed another chair lol)
we also were able to salvage a couple of our white patio chairs from our second spot, formally known as āwhite chair chairsā $
This is the spot that was too close to one side of the road,
which caused it to get busted after a couple years run,
It originally was a back up spot until it became the primary,
It was basically around this sinkhole that a couple of my friends and I discovered when we were young boys and used to build fires and camp inside, $
Random,
One time while we were smoking, we saw a pretty big rattlesnake
But other than that, we never really saw any snakes, surprisingly
But yeah, it was really just a 9 x 12 x 6ā hole
š³ļø $
We had also salvaged our fire oil drum /barrel š¢ļø $
We had our makeshift beer pong table
Which I believe was a door turned horizontal placed over something naturally $
And I believe we also had a couple other of random recliners and makeshift corner tables that we had collected eclectically $
To celebrate this new spot, we were going to throw a party on Friday night $
Now itās important to remember the context in which this site was constructed,
Its success was very important,
Because the week prior,
our party at the neighborhood elementary playground was busted by the cops and formally ruining our most fun drinking spot $
And when we got busted that week,
we ended up getting lost in the nearby woods for nearly an hour before a random friend just happened to find us $
So it was crucial that we have some safe place that the cops couldnāt reach $$
Anywho,
The time had finally come & Friday night had finally arrived $
The only bad part was it arrived a little too literally and earlier than we expected,
because we failed to plan for the fact that once it gets pitch black dark, it gets hard to direct a large group of teenagers half a mile along the creek into the suburban woods.. $
We also failed to take into account the mosquito situation,
and the fact that we were still in the backwards of North Carolina,
and the fact that summerās here die hard
And every insect along with it $
We also failed to consider the alcohol factor, and the fact that four lokos were still under their original formula $
All I need to say is āFour Lokoās ā and Those who have been there and gone through it will understand immediately $$$*
So about 30 minutes after our party kicked off, it gets so dark that we are forced to vacate,
The problem is that we had nowhere to go $
So with no better options,
we literally start walking the neighborhood streets at one point,
like some kind of protest or parade, $
It mustāve been nearly 20 of us all under 18 and everybody equipped with some kind of alcoholic beverage $
We eventually were forced to come to a stop at the safest spot that we could find.. $
Directly in front of my house š
In a three-way intersection,
Literally memory lane that I walk down on my sun walk every day
And of course, I giggle most often $
And once our mob of madness came to a stop,
Again, directly in front of my house
The drinking really took off $
At least at least for everybody else,
Because of course you know your boy had a good buzz going, but I was so sketched out and so concerned with everything that there was no way of focusing on the party $
Because I knew those sharks were gonna show up at any moment
& I had my eyes peeled $
The reason why this spot was most strategic is because you could see both entrances and you had a third escape route,
Albeit, the escape route was a cul-de-sac so if you got cornered, youāre kind of fucked $
But at least it would provide enough time to duck behind everybodyās fences and hide in some bushes $
And guess what? $
If you guessed that the cop would show up after about 33 minutes then you are 100% correct $$
This is where things take a bittersweet turn $
Because a couple of people in our group were a little bit more developed with their alcoholic degrees (If you know what Iām saying) $
And a couple of them,
especially one in particular,
were pretty much incapacitated or acting so foolish that they were essentially fodder for the cops $
They had positioned themselves too close to the entrance of the street and they were too intoxicated to realize the incoming Threat $
But for those that were gathered around me, and on the other side of me, I was able to warn them and begin to lead them away $
I must note for the record that I was sitting in this very heavy iron patio chair that I had moved from my front porch about 100 yards down into the middle of the street $
I remember distinctly watching those lights come around the corner and seeing all the shadows from all of the Four Loko cans in the streets $
And when the lights are down low like that, they look like long bars
And a 6 inch cans shadow can look 6 feet long
Especially under the nice lime light of a cops search light $$
But I knew Once he turned that corner,
and he saw everything,
that he was gonna be forced to take it slow
And of course he had no way to ID anyone and unless we let him catch us $
So casually, I got up and I turned, and I began to walk away $
I can still remember seeing my shadow amongst these can lights,
And I remember hearing him open his car door, $
And I remember there were about three people right next to me and the others had begun just sprinting $
And we casually walked about 15 feet or so just fat enough to clear the neighbors fence
Before taking off like Jack rabbits $
We would come to learn later that the first thing the cop would see would be our blacked out friend,
who kind of somewhat took the fall,
Because he provided the distraction that we needed to hide in the front yards down the street $
We were prone like snipers when we watched it all go down
Praying that no strangers would see us
Or that we would cut on a motion, sensing porch light $
My girlfriend at the time was also MIA
Without shoes
Again $
Thatās a plug to the previous week and when I had to carry her through the thorn bushes without shoes,
Which scuffed up my generic Jordans, but who cares because that was so funny $
But then all of a sudden, my phone begins to ring
And itās her
And sheās safe
In a bush
By my parents house lol $
I am probably about 200 yards away in our neighbors front yard,
Under a tree,
With a friend or two I think $
I was able to do some deductive reasoning and locate the exact bush She was hiding in.
And I was able to formulate a plan on how to run into the bush,
Extract her,
And evact to the safety of my bedroom
Wink, wink š $
I had to time this perfect,
& I waited for the right moment, $
And once I thought I had it, I took off $
The route I had to run, however, was right in front of the cops
And it was down the cul-de-sac that I now live $
And of course,
right when I began running, another cop came around the corner
And the ones down the street noticed me,
Partly because it was unavoidable when all of a sudden thereās another teen sprinting under a street light,
And partly because it was intentional and I needed to draw their attention away $
Because this was my home field turf,
and I knew all of the secrets $
So they began following me down the street,
And I was essentially able to double back through a shortcut thru another neighbors yard and dive into the bush that she was hiding in. $
After confirming this was the right woman,
(If youāve ever drank four lokos with teenagers in the dark, you know what Iām sayingā¦)
We snuck around two more fences and around the house back in to the bedroom $
And began our celebration
He heš $
Happy 3:31 AM $
It is 8:30 AM and I am slowly getting up
I wonāt lie
The depression is real
At least for the moment
Itās very gray and rainy
And Iām not quite sure what it is
And then the fact that this is the anniversary of the hardest week of my life
And Iām out of Kratom
And I donāt have more than five dollars to the name at the moment⦠$
So I just kind of want groceries
I need hot sauce and butter, too $
It is 9:03 AM and we just did a delivery from Burger King to Some trailer in the back corners of mint hill
Just running down a gravel road in the rain
Couldnāt ask for better challenge $

The secret that most people have yet to realize is that you unconsciously burn more energy during the recovery process then you do the burning process $$*
It is 11:27 AM and we have had a pretty successful morning so far
Pretty amazing how good I feel physically
I can tell Iām in my normal metabolic functioning and running on fats
And because I have so much extra fat on standby for the first time in forever that I feel more energized than I have in a long time,
Clearheaded and confident and all of those things as well,
Very much how I used to feel minus all of the bullshit and bio hacking $
Too many people in recovery know what itās like to lose everything slowly and get it back due to their own actions,
but there are few people will organically get to experience being genuinely crucified by other others while your street is as reasonably spotless as can be $$*
And even fewer people will go through this process without becoming bitter or angry or let alone full on defeated $$**
It is now 11:50 AM and I just ate a glorious game bowl
Rice, beans, butter, and five eggs š³ $
Itās better every time $$

Any sensation that is not scary has likely been experienced before whether in this life or previous $$
Any brand new experience is likely going to be borderline overwhelmingly terrifying at least at first
Whether it be in this life or the previous $$
It is 1:25 PM
Just thinking out loud-
I really do believe Iām turning a corner physically and biologically speaking,
I feel as if Iām recovering and Iām also getting back to the level of energy allowance that isnāt so restricted,
I havenāt taken any kind of Kratom all day,
Caffeine has been lower than normal,
I have not eaten any crackersā¦,
And yet I feel better than I do most days adjusting for the very light headache from the caffeine withdrawal $
Which we are about to fix $
*Sips tea āļø $
Scientist are a lot more likely to do some crazy shit
Artists are much more likely to do some comfortable shit $$**
We are leaving Aldiās now
And the candy store if Iām being honest lol
We have three tablet,
24 Pack of bottle of water,
Four sticks of butter, Salted of course,
And a new pack of electrolytes and a bottle of hot sauce $
Got a note for the record that I had some not so fun poop because of the eggs that I ate last night mightāve been a little undercooked $
Be very careful mixing Metallica with the stair master $$**
Hi my name is Jarrett and Iām a failure specialist $$$*
That 20m on the stairs was a lil too easyā¦
Muscles be taking over
But gotta get movement focused soon $
Jogging also easy af muscle wise $
Iām very excited to get back to the regularly scheduled programming $
If itās 4:54 PM and we are back home recharging and getting ready to get to making some kind of art $
Pretty big realization just now,
Especially considering tomorrow,
But on 2ā22, In 2012, I went to my first AA meeting,
& Last year that was arguably the worst day of my life or at least the beginning of hell week,
(more like hell year but you get it by now) $
That morning, I am pretty sure, it was when my furnace went out, which was the icebreaker moment
I canāt even remember that moment too clearly,
I just remember my parents showing up at the worst possible time,
And I pretty much broke down,
I donāt really even remember the breakdown because it was so spontaneous and so forced,
I didnāt expect them to be so cool with the initial financial support,
But that day, they did make the move out process seamless for my ex by offering me a little bit of financial Grace $
But even though it took her a couple days to move out, Iām pretty sure that was the first night I was fully alone again $
She mustāve moved out on the 24th
I keep forgetting the exact day $
Kind of funny how 222 would be so significant $
Also, hereās a weird moment
Thereās a small chance that I have confused my original sobriety date this entire time,
For 13 years,
The story is because my last āuseā was so laughable it barely even counts other than the fact that I still technically used,
I just didnāt get very intoxicated,
I was so delusional at the time that I didnāt even notice the date,
I remember a couple of the things I did on that Wednesday,
But I cannot remember the actual date itself,
I wasnāt intending to be sober for very long, which is why I didnāt care,
But sitting in that meeting,
I did concede to myself that I was gonna give everything a try,
An honest & true shot,
And that was on March 14, 2012,
At least I thought it was up until realizing that I mightāve been at a family funeral that week⦠,
Moving the date to March 21, 2012,
Which almost makes it even cooler
Cause 321 lol $
Now in 2024, I had two extremely profound psychedelic experiences on back-to-back weeks,
The first on 314 which I wouldāve considered more profound because it was first and because the ice that it broke, changed everything downstream of it,
But the trip on 321 was far crazier and far more logically revealing $
One was basically a spiritual baptism while the other one was essentially like some kind of crazy download,
I even have it written in my journal,
I had some kind of 12 steps given to me
Or some other esoteric, spiritual shit
Naturally, I was pretty excited to share the news with the girlfriend at the time and Iām sure she just thought I was crazy $
But Iām really not all that attached to the specific date,
Because during those couple weeks, the most I consumed biologically was a just ritilian patch $
And if thereās one thing Iāve learned by keeping a regular notepad, it is that it is more about the block of time than it is the day $
I was trying to find some motivation as to what to do next and I started thinking about this day way back when,
And then thatās when I realized that that was also the day I walked into my first AA meeting $
And of course, I was in such a haze,
and in such a āpeople pleasingā flog that I had no idea what was going on,
I did pick up a white chip that night,
And even though I really didnāt know what it meant, I did mean it honestly that I was willing to do what people told me to do and work on some shit $
I just wasnāt ready to be like āoh I can never use and drink againā $
Lol, what an arc $
Because when I left the program back in 2021 I thought it was because I truly wasnāt an alcoholic,
but maybe I just had a mental health disorder and use substances as a teenager to escape,
And for two years into the wilderness, that made very much sense
And then March 2024 happen⦠$
And then this magical book showed up,
And then everything exploded and fell apart exactly as it was supposed to $$
And then I realized that thereās a almost certainly positive chance that I am essentially my maternal grandfather reincarnated lol
And trust me, Iāve got the evidence $$
But he was an alcoholic
Which makes me a spiritual alcoholic $
Even saying that, does feel like the truth $
Cause I was real fucked up in the head after I left the program and was in the depths of a full-blown existential identity crisis,
But ironically, I wasnāt an alcoholic anymore $
Iām not gonna claim that I cured myself but one way or another, I found it possible to use mind and mood altering substances again to a far different degree. $
And to any recovering addict or alcoholic, that is quite literally the holy Grail $$
That is the forbidden dream,
Or the forbidden fruit $$
Your significant other may hate me for saying it but..
you really should add beans to as much as you can
Mostly for the micro nutrient boost and cover any blind spots $$
That was an incredible gain bowl
This time a little bit heavier on the rice and only four eggs
Alex is probably gonna hate me in about six hours lol $
Poor kitty, I accidentally Dutch oven him sometimes
Sometimes heāll find the perfect cozy warm spot.
The only downside of this is that it is in the danger zone
If you know what Iām saying lol $
I do have a minor tablet buzz going on
The equivalent of a quarter tablet split over about an hour $
Overall, the buzz is equivalent to about a good honest three capsules $
But because my tolerance is as close to zero as you can reasonably get,
it is quite delightful for at least a moment $
It is 5:47 PM. I think it is a good time to do the sunset walk
The fact that Iām not that upset about un pinning my snuggle is positive progress $
I will confess on myself, though cause I just caught myself not wanting to go on a walk so I could āmaximize the buzzā š $
Because the buzz I have right now is so mild, Itās almost hard to even feel physically when youāre walking.
But obviously, the emotional benefit remains slightly
So one behavior that I am proud of myself for pruning is the daily sedative doses before bed
I like to tick the buzz up just a little bit more, but I have not really been getting anywhere close to what I used to at the end of a long hard day
So Iām used to taking a medium level dose in the evening and just trying to soak up every dopamine molecule that I can from it in preparation for the next days marathon,
Emotionally speaking mostly but sometimes physically speaking⦠$
So right now the mind & body and spirit benefit of doing my 10 minute sundown walk is far more important than the level three buzz that I have $
I guess part of me is anxious that itāll wear off or that I will walk part of it off,
Which is partially true,
But once again, this is a good example of a case of confused priorities,
Skipping the sundown walk once is not the big deal but it just makes it that much easier to skip the second time,
And then soon you skipped it three times and now itās hard to restart and then youāre gonna wanna end up taking more tablets
And then you can see how the game has gone the other direction $
The one honest objection I have to doing the walk is how cute Alex is right at this moment,
Even though I will argue that is pretty good reason to hang back, I think he would want me to go walk $
It might be because itās my last one, but I am craving a cigarette a little bit lol
I still think itās more for the quiet contemplative / meditative aspect $
It is 7:14 PM and we are going to step out for half of our final cigarette of the first pack of smokes,
Judging by my notes, I got them 2 1/2 weeks ago,
Thatās pretty wild,
Thatās barely a cigarette a day $
Iām just starting to process the last 14 years
I also have on my Santa hat
So if anyone sees me, itāll be pretty funny $
13 years ago I wouldāve been at McDonaldās
On that note,
I remembered the other day,
When I first started working there in that winter,
I was also starting to see this one chick that was in the program,
She was sweet, but emotionally and romantically completely crazy and I was both codependent and inexperienced,
And of course, freshly sober,
for about nine months,
But she actually had over a year, so a little bit more time than me $
Somehow someway we ended up going on a date or two
And I need to remind myself to take the time to revisit these memories because they were super wholesome,
But one date went so well we ended up back at her apartment,
Making out and all this and that,
But I had to go to work that night,
I remember the Patriots were playing the Falcons in the playoffs so it was on that Sunday,
Probably my third or fourth week so I was too afraid to call out of work,
Or to honorable cause I chose a McDonaldās 3rd shift over a pretty much guaranteed BJ $
Her words not mine lol $
But I showed up and I went to work
And my codependent self texted her a bunch and she pretty much went back to her other dude quick $
But that wasnāt the end of the story,
Cuz Of course that didnāt work out between her and original fuck boy number 1,
Who, & this is going to sound crazy,
I actually sold his apartment and helped him by a house with his fiancƩ six years ago, right when Covid started,
I mean, literally this week wouldāve been the time he had been signing the papers too lol $
I didnāt know him back then,
Thought he was a douche bag,
But Got to know Iām a couple years later and got to be decent friends with him for a while
And overall stand-up guy,
But the story isnāt about him,
even though thereās some other unexpected synchronistic connection $
God, my life is so fucking weird $$
But AnyWho,
after things didnāt work out between her and homeboy number one, she came crawling back,
and we continued our toxic on again off again,
talking without touch touching because her sponsor wouldnāt let us be in a relationship for a few more months $
And in case you were wonderingā¦
I did eventually get a BJ $
But I was thinking about it earlier today on how much emotional bullshit I had to learn about myself because I was every single thing you do not want to be as a boyfriend $$
To be fair, I was still 18,
Fresh out of a rehab,
Just made my first honor roll at community college,
Finally made all my amends,
And had gainful employment at the McDonaldās at the most pretentious part of town,
(Third shift remember) $
So you know, I was working some shit out
I was also driving a Prius $
I mean, bro
I know these fucking angels and ancients and all that weāre fucking trolling me all my life $
And good to them man cause they did a fucking great job $
Noting before I forget other major events that have happened during this block of time;
(two week window, but I think really might even be down to the day in some cases)
Red adventures original interviews,
Performance Management promotion,
2019 I wouldāve been closing my first couple homes,
2020 I wouldāve been interviewing at Redfin even though there was a three month delay due to Covid before starting,
2021 wouldāve been the worst emotional bottom of my entire life,
2022 wouldāve been personal training transition,
2023 wouldāve been a more subtle work transition,
Same with 2024,
And then, obviously last year was the end of the biggest relationship and the conclusion of a major chapter $
It is 8:10 PM and weāre stepping out to finish the cigarette $
It is 9:25 PM and weāre gonna make some scrambled eggs
I had to talk myself out of going to the store to get a box of crackers
I remembered I got a couple bucks cash from one delivery lol $
Iām eating at the table for the first time in a while. I donāt know why I feel the need to know this, but Iāve been eating in the living room most often recently. $
Iām also eating some cauliflower and broccoli with the eggs and they taste good but itās kind of pitiful looking $
I just noticed the house across the street still has their Christmas lights on
I mean, this house is flashing red and green still lol $
I wonāt lie, I can feel the carb monster coming back š¹ $
Today was legs and I did some cardio though so thatās to be expected $
I have about 60 minutes to decide if these crackers are worth the run to Food Lion or not $
Iām not taking the MK this week just to drop some more water to get some true insight into this body fat bullshit $
I am a bit disappointed in that last quarter tablet though
Because it hit like half that $
And as of 9:46 PM, I am not sleepy
And I am getting the not so fun kind of restless discontented boredom $
Iām just getting to the point where Iām getting truly bored with everything,
Iām surprised I made it this far,
This is still not so bad and nowhere near compared to the summer and Iām sure it will pass once I have a little bit of a break $
But I can tell I havenāt been able to process shit in the past year like I normally would
And itās been a combination of factors that have forced me to keep going at the rate that Iām going, so I have to have a little bit of grace $
Well, weāre gonna go ahead and try to go to first sleep anyway as of 957
Wish me luck š $
Yeah, buddy $
Happy 1:13 AM $
Itās a magical day $
It is not every day
It is once a year
This seemingly symbolic day has marked the worst day of my life (or close to it) many times $
Bro, thatās so fucked up
just as I was loading the bong,
literally the keif part just fucking fell and I lost probably the most amount of keif that Iāve ever had
Itās all over the fucking carpet now, dude $
Bro, thatās fucked man
that shit really kinda hurt
It was right on queue $
Itās so fucked up because now that itās all on the carpet it doesnāt look like anything $
dammit man come on $
Iām more upset about the principle of it and how I was literally just fucking saying⦠$
Whatever $
This is me letting go $
Fucking lame $
Fuck this
Iām going back to bed $
Goodbye negative bs
āš» $
It is now 2:22 AM and when I say the roof just rattled because of the thunder, I am not exaggerating $
Well, this thunder was pretty symbolic
Itās some kind of message thatās for sure $
Well, weāre watching āthe iron clawā now
And doing a little mobility $
Might need some oatmeal in a bit $
It is 3:26 AM and I just gotta say that Iām seriously overdue for a mushroom š $
I was thinking about the oatmeal, but considering I wonāt be training later, itāll very likely go to my head,
And I end up in the same bullshit cycle that Iāve been fighting for the past few months $
But now that Iāve got some body fat itās time to start using it,
And because I have a little extra,
I should be able to get good insight into how I can run with just it $
Of course Iām just now hungry and Iām kind of craving a cigarette lol $
This movie isnāt bad but I just donāt really care about it $
Iām finding it hard to care about much really
Iām just so beat down dude
Sometimes it feels like itās never gonna end $
I changed my mind about the oatmeal
Mostly for emotional reasons,
I figured that if Iām being honest,
my body is likely not going to be that excited to cut on burning too quickly $
And again aesthetic is so far secondary right now,
I donāt really give two shits if this goes straight to my hips. $
Spoken like a nervous Nancy
But whatever $
But if my body is gonna be resistant to burning fat,
then that means itāll likely prefer to have some kind of metabolic crash before it gets back to a high efficiency and the high fiber, but high sugar oats $
Iām realizing more and more that a good pre-workout is worth a lot,
Iām making pretty good progress with my little caffeine squirt and all but the more I realize the value of each and every molecule of hydration,
the more I realize how much I was doing right all of these years but just struggle to give myself credit for $$
It is 9:12 AM and we are getting up
Decent sleep the second half
No complaints $
It is now 11:51 am
Iāve done a little bit of work and some cleaning and stuff like that $
Had a gain bowl with five eggs and rice and butter $
It is now 12:51 PM and we did a little bit more reading and a little bit more cleaning
Pretty big deal
Itās finally starting to get cold again $
For the past week, I havenāt cared if the furnace is on or off because it didnāt really matter
Looks like it should be high 20s to low 40s the next two days,
My only concern is my newly returned snake plants,
They were really cutting it close before I had to move them over for a bit $
the only thing you could really do is go forward with an open mind $$$*
Best advice I got for the world:
Pray before you guess $$$*
I caught myself giving pity to the person who is panhandling until I realized that sheās probably made more money than I have in the past hour⦠$
The truth is,
is that Iāve given out more money to panhandlers than I have attention
And I think thatās backwards $$
Most fail to enlarge their spiritual life so they just take everyone thatās close to them emotionally hostage instead $$**
It is 2:41 PM
Not sure the connection between these two lines but there we go $
I have weighed in at 171 this morning
With a little bit of clothes on
Which completely is shattering my physique paradigm, and I will get back to this in a moment $
But we are also watching another Navy seal documentary,
And I have only seen probably a handful so far in my whole life,
And Iāve had plenty of army buddies,
But watching these things is awakening something in me,
It is triggering on a level that I really donāt know how to describe $
I do not understand how some people cannot drink regular water and are forced to constantly flavor their water $$$*
Talking about water though Iām literally watching myself get bigger before my own eyes while I get smaller $
Iām coming around more and more to thinking that I mightāve been walking around nearly 10 pounds of water weight $
When taking 15-ish grams of creatine a day and on a very high carb diet though that is pretty normal $
If youāre wondering why I started painting weights,
it is because maybe if I made them prettier more people would like to lift them
Or keep them around
Or at least not be so fucking scared of them $$******
Theyāre not supposed to be works of art, but they will certainly turn you into one $$$*
Gonna try a new test to when every time I start getting anxious, Iām just gonna do a single pull up.
And a dip
And a pair of split squats $
I realized yesterday that my right leg is mostly type three muscle on my left leg is mostly type two $
Iām currently trying to kill the boredom until I can get one more dash and then I can run and grab some cat food and some poison and really get to work $
Well, in a classic turn of events,
We did not get anything else otherwise,
and the smoke shop was closed because theyre bitches & they close early on Sundays
Kidding, kindaā¦
Idk man, I donāt know what I was thinking, but I thought I could just get the smokes from Food Lion and everything would be OK even though Iām pretty disappointed about not getting any more leaf powder,
But Iām not sure what I was thinking either cause Food Lion doesnāt sell tobacco anymore,
But I still went and I still got a whole new thing of cat food,
And I still have a whole tablet left so I guess I canāt be that upset,
I was just kind of hoping to get a decent buzz on but I also have some cat treats left for the buddy so thatās really nice $
But of course,
I was getting a little butt hurt when I was leaving Food Lion because my plans have been dashed
Instead of me ironically $
But then, right when I got home, I remembered that it is one of the windiest days Iāve seen all year and also getting pretty cold like I mentioned earlier,
So thatās pretty good to not smoke tonight $
I did also get a new box of graham crackers and a can of black beans so from a fueling perspective that actually plugs up tomorrowās holes
Wink wink š³ļø $
I am also down to the last couple grams of cannabis
It is time that I dial it back a bit, so Iām not really that upset
And itās also time to learn exactly how much my ego behind the scenes is really recovering $
Because Iām not really craving much these days other than the actual enjoyment of the experience
But if I can get all my other activities in order,
And trauma proof them apparently,
Then I know I wonāt even care because when Iām busy, I donāt even think about smoking $
Once again, part of the reason for the madness behind all of this-
Trying to sort out whatās what $
I only crave it if Iāve been smoking too much out of stress and been too inactive physically $$
Itās just that every time I try to come up with some schedule or routine, some shit completely hijacks it $$
And of course, I blamed myself and my ADHD and all this shit forever and ever,
So I either muscle or something and sit on my hands or try to drug myself into submission $$
And then I would try to give the spiritual intuition and creativity Itās fair shake and not drug myself,
but listening to those intuitionās typically works out better,
but at the cost of being crucified by family and friends for not being ānormalā.. $$
And being too āāunpredictableā⦠$$
Donāt think I havenāt forgotten about that bullshit that happened with my keif earlier,
And now that it is all over the carpet,
Itās fucking bullshit.
Iāve had this grinder for four years and Iāve never dropped shit.
I am extra cautious to avoid that exact incident,
And I know when I picked up my grinder and I moved it this morning, I had my finger on the bottom lid
and that shit was not loose,
And suddenly, it just slides right on out
I hadnāt even unscrewed it recently $
Iām not fucking crazy.
Iām just really beginning to get tired of feeling like I am & the entire world is so fucked.
And I canāt even vent without sounding like a fucking victim $
That is the definition of gaslighting $$
*Grinder squeak $
Kind of crazy how these crackers have taken away my nicotine craving $
It is 8:43 PM
And we just did a shot of whiskey š„ $
To celebrate the fact that right around this time 14 years ago,
I wouldāve been picking up my white chip $
Let me go look at that motherfucker real quick $
Oh yeah, and I only picked up one š $
And yes, I realize how totally fucked up those last couple lines are if youāre just now tuning in
or if you have no idea what Iām up to $$$***
The short recap is when I was 17 3/4. I ended up getting sober and staying that way for 9.3 years,
But my mental health was getting more and more desperate despite doing āeverything by the bookā
So I resigned and began exploring alternative chemical solutions to assist with the spiritual lifestyle $
But my dad is also legit disabled due to his ADHD,
and itās the legit full-blown nasty kind to where heās so bad off - he canāt even stick to any treatment, (been that way forever)
but serves as a perfect example of where I was headed if left to my own biological devices,
So when I left the program almost 5 years ago now,
And found that I could actually drink and smoke and do drugs āsuccessfullyā because I didnāt even want to do them anymore lol
(Excluding the Gram of cannabis a day and equivalent to 15 g Kratom
Which is nowhere near addict level numbers) $
I thought it was because I was just mentally ill with the whole ADHD shit,
Wasnāt until the last couple years of super high strangeness and esoteric revelations (and super strong mushrooms ),
that it kind of clicked that perhaps maybe I was a legitimate alcoholic and cured myself, because I worked the steps and practiced the principles like a motherfucker $
Iām not kidding when I say I averaged at least a meeting a day for almost 9 years
Adjusting for the unofficial meetings and group hangouts that are just as essential to recovery as anything else but also not all that fun sometimes,
On top of that,
I was doing coaching and salesmanship work during the day, which is all psychological manipulation
So Ive learned a thing or two about emotional intelligence and ego management $$
*Licks finger
(thatās new code for the seven hydroxy) $$
True fans have seen the evolution of my slang,
From 70H,
To seven hydroxy,
Now to āfinger, licking poison ā ļø ā $
Cause that should be its slogan $$
Cause for responsible, mature adults who are not emotionally compromised,
Then nine out of 10 times this tablet and small doses is a way better alcohol replacement $$
It does most of what alcohol promises you without the super fucked up side effects $$
Also for the record, it is 8:54 PM and that shot is already beginning to wear off
I swear I metabolize alcohol as fast as any alcoholic $
But itās kind of weird because I feel it like a lightweight. It just doesnāt last long.
Probably because again I never drink lol $
Most have more alcohol points from going to church and taking mass or some shit than I have in my lifetime for sure,
But Iāve guarantee you Iāve spent more time in church auditoriums and basements $$*
Because I still get credit for the four years of private Christian school,
That counts for 12 years of casual generic Sunday attendance,
Cause I bet you, I was forced to pay attention and study more about the āfactsā than most casual goers $$
Just adding to my rƩsumƩ of all kinds of weird philosophical religious medical bullshit $$*
I also forget that I technically have a college degree too~
& guess what $
It is also AA degree lol $$*
I swear I couldnāt write this shit if I tried š $
Goddamnit, I didnāt mean it like that lol $
Cause the irony is,
I use voice to text
And even if I actually do manually text my point is that it flows like Iām conversing $$
And not ātrying to writeā āļø $
I am surprisingly somewhat hungry again,
And I am leaning more towards a gain bowl $
Fuck it Iām gonna go ahead and do it before I talk myself out of it
Once again, literally but accidentally $
OK, it is 9:19 PM and Iāll be honest,
That shot actually somehow kicked into a different gear and Iām borderline .08 if you know what I mean,
Not to be dramatic or embellish too much
But I kind of forgot how that 111 proof backwoods Chattanooga, Tennessee whiskey creeps up on you $
It gets Itās muddy little fingers on you
And holds on for a while $$
Remembering that one October night, when I did like three shots and ended up doing some strange mac & cheese experiments with all the old emergency food that I had in the summer $
Someone explain which alien, angel, or ancient motherfucker gave the idea to my dad to get me a bunch of emergency food for Christmas,
Which is basically like backpacking food with low protein and extra storage bullshit $$
But did have some pretty decent stuff in these big giant tubs,
And literally over the summer when I had less than three dollars to my name, and once again worried about them repossessing my car for a second time,
I did at least have a bunch of processed carbs.
The joke is this is literally the most processed of processed food.
It had a shelf life of like 50 years
I mean, I still have half of it,
And it can make somewhat decent backpacking food,
I have tested just about everything that was in it,
So that counts for something,
But itās just hilarious,
And not even joking,
if I didnāt have that, that wouldāve influenced my decision-making throughout that whole ordeal,
But it really did make it like backpacking with a very slow, less than vertical route lol $$
Also kind of funny how the ābad water ultraā marathon through death Valley was on July 7,
And the joke is that I was hoping to run it,
maybe not that specific one but to be on the road by then $
Silly me $$
Instead, I was flaking on my TeleMed psych psychiatrist appointment,
Because I was supposed to meet with her to renew my Adderall script $
I donāt think Iāve even mentioned for the walls,
I was on 2- 30 mg a day instant release $$
The āgood shitā $$
So if you can see how it fucked me up pretty quick $
I never even abused it $$)
But as any true ADHD head would know these days,
that the manufacturer for the most generic brand of Adderall was on some fuck shit,
and the supply was so hit or miss so often that there were many days I would have to go up to 90 mg on paper because that would equal 60 mg in practicality from the previous day. $
Which meant that I was now going to be a few pills short for the month supply $
Which meant I had to do some tough math for certain days of the week $
And of course that happened multiple times, so I knew ahead of time that I was going to be under dosed and would always have to carry an extra pill or two in my little pocket thing $
And so the days that I knew I could get away without it if I absolutely had to,
I would schedule them as my ārecovery daysā
but as pretty much everyone can guess,
there was nothing healing about those days $
Because itās not like I could just sit and watch a movie without the medication ironically,
I would be crawling out of my skin and my appetite would be once again all kinds of fucked up,
This was even assuming that I had the luxury of not having to do anything on an off day, because I was still working basically seven days a week in some regard $
And most of that time was literally 50 hours a week across town $
At,
And hereās the best part for those who donāt know,
A ārecovery wellness centerā
Technically, a āhyper wellnessā
What a fucking joke,
Cause if you havenāt heard that story,
it ended up with me having to leave after 60 days because the management and the company culture was so toxic. $
It was even worse than the Adderall prescription.
Iām not exaggerating $
Swerving back into my lane,
So going from that kind of work environment
Back to a freshly empty home cause homegirl moved out pretty much exactly a year ago at this point,
To receiving constant phone calls from my parents of the most heartbreaking and disappointing variety,
(If not full on in person verbal assaults)
Actually, those happened more often,
The phone calls just sucked because they were so unexpected and they caught me with my guard down, which is why I quite literally have to prepare for āwhat if I get a callā¦ā $
I gave myself 30 days after she moved out before getting back to work on the resistance games $
I did secure quite a good bit of psychedelics and I pretty much had a complete arsenal āmedsā which is the only thing that kept me balanced if Iām being honest $
I had a little bit of ketamine, LSD, Adderall, obviously, and the Kratom and cannabis supply wasnāt a real issue cause I had a little bit of cash,
But I couldnāt even think about the big guns,
You know,
psilocybin and MDMA
Because I was not about to shoot the moon at that state with that much chemical bullshit and environmental stressors cause I had no safe set or setting,
and I was not about to do Molly alone because I knew I wouldāve ended up on the phone spewing my guts out to somebody who I shouldnāt be talking to $$
And the worst part about this whole time was,
I couldnāt even really work out beyond the activist level maintenance,
And of course, maintenance was a joke because I was slowly withering away
Because when I quit unexpectedly,
I had to justify it that I could probably get training programs done in time to make some cash so I could survive knowing damn well in the background that itāll probably take at least another six or nine months $
So it just forced me to work,
literally around the clock š°ļø
The work being elimination of all errors
Actually, thatās not true.
I had to learn all the artistic basics too,
And I had to start from scratch with all the design stuff,
I did have the thousands of different movements and scaled them appropriately to work out the programming and all of that by this point though because I remember when she moved out,
I finally knew the scale of the project that I was working on
and was going to take at least another one or two years,
but there was no way for her to possibly understand that,
Thereās no way for my parents to understand that,
let alone the world $$
Which is why Iāve been basically in hiding,
Because the resistance games is basically complete,
And it looks like a basic deck of cards,
but it will function in limitless ways and is as versatile as a playing deck of cards
The movement science, however, is what I am most proud of
And the tested and curated techniques $$
AnyWho, it is 9:35 PM and we were gonna go to first sleep
Or at least try to $
Good morning world
It is 2:01 AM and we are arriving at the midnight movies $
And just thinking about how it is both a good and bad thing that meth heads do not really lift $$*
āWe were up 21 days just smoking and cookingā $
Just imagine what they would do if they discovered how good of a pre-workout meth probably is $$
I do not know from experience lol
But I can extrapolate based off methsā younger cousin,
Adderall $
Not sure who who needs to hear this,
but just a friendly reminder that Socrates drank them the Hemlock
So remember that if youāre in a philosophical pickle š„ $$$***
His poison made him a legend $$
Also, just a reminder,
The Joker and the fool often looked the same to the untrained eye šļø $$
Also
Psychedelics can either blow your mind or expand your mind
Depends on your level of philosophy $$
Because once it kicks in,
youāre either gonna realize you know nothing or everything is gonna make perfect sense after all $$**
Actually, that usually happens at the same time somehow $$$***
When youāre going through the first couple phases when youāre writing anything youāre gonna discover that there are literally not enough seconds in the day to think enough thoughts to vent out all the bullshit that you need to fast enough to monetize to meet whatever bullshit goal you have to get to in order just to keep writing, $$
I woke up a little excited to eat some crackers, but my craving has vanished once the buzz began
This is a very classic mild cannabis plus quarter seven hydroxy buzz
I slept pretty good overall honestly,
Probably about 4 1/2 hours which is not bad for the first round,
And puts me in easy napping range for the second half $
Happy 2:34 AM
When youāre learning, you are mentally building
Which means youāre gonna need high intensity intake with high recovery
& itās gonna burn a lot $$
Once youāve learned it,
then you can begin burning, which is an expression for really just doing,
Which is when you can begin building on the outside
If that makes sense $$
So there are two sides to the two sides of everything $$*
It is 4:05 AM and we have completed last weekās review and as well some social media shit
Feeling good and doing good $
Especially considering last week was pretty much hell,
And definitely in the top 10 worst days of my life, even though I was pretty much numb for it $
Most would rather forget about their failures instead of overcoming them $$**
Itās still so funny to me how few people have realized the most effective approach with exercise training is to always do the bare minimum necessary $$$**
They just donāt realize what ānecessaryā means because they canāt see the big picture $$
Thatās why I gotta draw everything in circles $$
Most peopleās drug choice is routine
Which is usually complacency in practice $$*
Happy 4:32 AM
We are going to head to second sleep after another round of crackers
The seven buzz for the most part has worn off, but I think itās still a little bit running in the background so weāre gonna go ahead and lay down $
see, when you lay down is when it could be magnified and make sleep delightful $
Also, I think itās good to know that it is 29° on the outside
And itās gotta be low 50s on the inside
Which isnāt that extreme but that adds up to at least another seven or 800 cal over the course of 24 hours,
And if youāre not careful that will fuck up your entire metabolic rhythm,
Especially when itās been 70° for the past week $
So it is good that my body is actually responding pretty quickly and I do not feel that cold
But as I say that, my attention is drawn towards my feet and them bitches are starting to get kind of cold lol $
But because our training is going to shift back to a more traditional balance, functional focus,
I should be able to trigger more body fat burn to compensate for any dipping calories,
I just canāt believe that I might actually still be under 170 $
It is 8:29 AM and we are awake $
Weāre gonna go ahead and hit the sun walk and then cold shower and then likely get going to the gym $
As I walk into the gym at 8:57 PM Iāve got the note for the record that I donāt even feel like the same person
IN all of the best ways $
Imagine lifting heavy and still looking like shit⦠$$$
Swear I feel unlimited energy wise,
Deff getting close to where I left off but this time with a whole new bag of tricks and TQs $
12:56 PM
I have not had any cannabis all day pretty much
Excluding the midnight movies, of course
But usually by now, I would at least be thinking about it or it would sound nice
Or if I was in the shit, it would be almost a necessity just to not blow my head off and as motivation to keep pushing a little bit more $
But Iām trying to go back to my old self where I would just raw dog work ethic for months and years on end $$
Without wanting to actually die at the end of the day though $$
So that is the game of energy management $$
Even swung by the library and we checked out the book āthe hidden school: return of the peaceful warriorā by Dan Millman $
Out The gate itās already super mystical and esoteric and all of that $
āBetter to do what you need to do then to not do it but with a good reasonā
Socrates, allegedly $$$*
Itās easy to tell when Iām having a busy productive high dopamine day because the notepad is usually a little shorter,
but thatās all right. Weāve been killing it today. $
It is 3:40 PM and we are delivering Subway order to the same due to kind of made it a little weird yesterday, but it wasnāt totally his fault if Iām being honest
And I am grateful to have another order in my own neighborhood $
What is most noteworthy about today though as I can finally feel like Iām beginning to juggle easily,
Iām going from one to ask to the other,
One mindless and one mindful,
And up until recent, the mindless would just keep fucking around with the energy from the mindful so where I couldnāt do both $
But the fact that Iāve made it this far this day with this little and also with next to zero caffeine after the gym is pretty remarkable and is all the evidence that I need to reinforce my whole theory $
I feel so good that itās easy to feel guilty for not feeling this good before
Thatās a common case with ADHD. Iāll say that. $$
It is 5:24 PM and we have had a pretty successful day and I am very proud of myself the work Iāve done and I feel like the spirits are too because every time I try to keep pushing I get a consciousness rebound that tells me itās all good
So it is officially time to run to the store and get to the real work $
Lol on the way back from the smoke shop, I even finished another dash
Iām sure Iāll monologue on about it in a bit, but today was a major win $
I have consumed no more than a couple hundred milligrams of caffeine all day long
The pre-workout drink, (caffeine squirt), plus my normal tea that I still have not finished,
The point is Iām finally biologically back to where I donāt need any supplements motivation wise as long as thereās not a lot of random bullshit so thatās a good win $
Although if I was still trying to learn and figure a bunch of shit out today, then I probably wouldāve been stressed and had to smoke some $$
I guess putting in another way, the fact that I have had zero cannabis cravings, and zero Kratom cravings is highly significant $$
And reinforces my entire theory that if youāre gonna do something daily, those are the safest substances to do
just be advised that youāre going to see diminishing returns eventually if you donāt take tolerance breaks $$
But if you properly manage your tolerance and your activity level, and dosing, obviously then you really donāt need to worry much about physical withdrawals $
Emotional withdrawals are different though because if youāre dependent on something to get thru work, then itās gonna be difficult no matter what when you go without it $$$*
It is pretty crazy how faster my brain runs sober
So watch out world $
Thatās the only way I couldāve justified working in sales and going to underground meetings where all you do is talk $$
lol $
But it is officially 614 and the sun just finally set so you know what that means.. $
Weāre gonna go back to trying to stay to one of our rules of smoking during sundown only for a bit and see how that affects everything $
There goes the first hit of the day
Gonna be very interesting to see how my tolerance is $
But going 12 hours a day without smoking is actually my normal
And usually during work mode, I only consume supplements to help me work more and be more present
Or be less bitchy lol $$
I could care less about being actually intoxicated pretty much anytime except maybe once or twice a year $
I am honestly kind of astonished at what is happening with my aesthetic,
I have never seen my definition change so quickly for the positive $
Iāve obviously been honest and saying that I thought I was gaining fat
Even though part of me was like, āmaybe itās waterā
But seeing how fast my body weight and aesthetic have changed in line with how good I feel energy wise and how little I have eaten, can only mean one of two things.. $
That I am somehow hyper burning fat,
Or that I was somehow hoarding a shit load of water thanks to the creatine and steady carbs $
It is also important to reiterate that last week was the turning of a big cycle with the whole lunar new moon and end of winter and all of that shit $
And as we speak, my hands are beginning to burn because theyāre warming themselves up
I am inside the house lol
I had put on all my winter layers because it looks like itās gonna be in the 20s again tonight, & the wind is not helping indirectly $
It was probably either high 40s or low 50s
Iāve got my space heater pointed directly at my snake plants and Iām pretty much gonna have to alternate heaters for the next couple days if I wanna give them an actual fighting chance lol $
Well, this is actually kind of note worthy.
It looks like my egg video has technically gone viral.
I donāt give a fuck,
Iām counting anything with five figure views as technically viral because that seems to be the threshold of if your video actually means anything or not $$
You donāt need hundreds or thousands or millions, but the 5 figure mark seems to be pretty solid indicator that people are actually watching it $
I also am buzzing like a schoolgirl off that one hit $
Man, this is really pretty awesome if I can actually finally close the door to all of this subconscious, bullshit and recover $
If I was to grade my percent of recovery compared to how I was biologically, I would put myself maybe at 80% at best $
Obviously, this version of me is playing life on master level while the last version was not even in the strato-sphere $
But the better I feel in a weird shitty way it actually reminds me that thatās how I used to feel,
Just without his advanced philosophical technique of dealing with shit $
But I mean, I literally am doing laps around my former self in every single area while by being biologically wrecked,
comparatively speaking with zero significant supplemental comforts and also to reiterate zero social support too $
And just in case!some people start strolling in because of these videos that are finally getting some views,
Allow me to provide some insight as to why I have been such a loner for the past year $
Because itās the only way to sort some shit out $$$***
The end $$
Lol, thanks for letting me share $
But for real, if you want to learn more about that, then go check the other entries $
I wish they had a rule that that you had to tip extra if you ordered breadsticks, cause they smell like shit in the car š $$
Bro, I have not had this energy and felt this good and so long I donāt even know how to describe it
Iāve taken like two hits and one baby shot of sludge
I really think itās being in a fat burning state or at least smooth metabolic gear
That has to be a major part of it $
Or I mean, honestly, a spiritual curse has just been liftedā¦
Cause literally one year ago tomorrow is when she left and Iām certain thatās when all this hellish shit began $
lol food lion does sell tobacco after all š $
Just discovered the frozen garlic bread loaf for less than 2$!! $$
Another full circle moment is when I just used The same $10 that I got as cash back last night from the same register to pay lol $
Be right back as I fill up for the third time $
Just three dollars at a time though donāt wanna get carried away $$
I even got me a new Aldiās quarter $
This garlic bread is either going to be another major hack or backfire tremendously $$
But I think this is going to be a game changer
I mean, thatās one of the best nutrition labels Iāve ever seen for just pure fuel ā½ļø $
I know I was just saying it,
but I have so much energy
Everything Iām doing now Iām noticing a contrast so I imagine the notepadās gonna be a little lengthy $
But as of now it is 7:27 PM and we just finished another double dash for some random dude & his Pizza Hut
and myself
We spent less than nine dollars at the store and have over 5000 cal lol $
You cannot tell me I have not mastered this shit $$$
Also, you can use the same technique for splitting open a tube of beef that you can for splitting open a Cigarrilloā¦
that is if you know it of course lol $$
I feel like I need to emphasize for the record how little hunger I have and how hard it was to even eat one sleeve of crackers today $
The rice and beans after the gym basically vaporized, though I did have low-ish energy throughout the afternoon
But itās started spiking right when the sunset
Like what the fuck $
But right now I just finished making some ground beef and Iām just not hungry
This is how I used to be though so itās just so nice to be finally getting back in that $
I do think, though my efficiency is probably next to superhuman, considering the fact that I was literally starved down 40 pounds $
Because thatās legit survival mode,
and you will never be comfortable being that lean unless your body feels comfortable that it could survive at that level $$
And at the risk of drumming on about my own ego, even when I was at that point, I was still trainingā¦
just heavily modified so to speak $
There definitely has not been a day that has gone by that I have not done mobility at least $
Back to the sludge,
I havenāt had any leaf powder in at least 10 days or probably two weeks,
Iāll find out next round of edits Iām sure
And Iāve been doing the microdose of the seven hydroxy $
(Yep bout right on the money tbh lol)
I didnāt even feel the first shot of sludge really and I just took the second one $
But just to emphasize that to confirm my theories from last fall,
especially Something about the way the plant leaf breaks down really influences the effect $$
So the tablet is very consistent in the sense that you either lick your finger or chew it and 15 minutes later youāre getting what you bargained for $$*
The leaf powder is like,
Drink this spiritual sewage and wait and see what happens
Maybe itāll be great
maybe it wonāt $$*
Well, fuck me, ladies and germs.
I just realized it was another major anniversary,
It was buried underneath the cluster fuck of shit,
Today is the one year anniversary of when we painted the heart on the wall $
It is 8:18 PM and Iām standing in the driveway
staring at it
while smoking a cigarette lol $
And Iām not gonna lie this is a very heavy moment $
I feel like if something is nudging me to say this, but.. $
The secret to all these painted plates⦠$
I painted most of them⦠$
while on Molly lol $$
I said the movement was the art
not the actual painting lol $$$**
I was just fucking around $
But I do have some plates that are just fucking gorgeous
In my opinion, of course $$$
Tried to sell them,
Back when I thought maybe there was a hustle there $
Holy hell, do not underestimate the physical relaxation capabilities of tobacco $$
My body is Lucy goosy bro
Perfect time for some mobility $
It is now 8:38 PM and my energy is disappearing, but not in a super awful way but maybe in a sleepy way,
Because this would be my normal bedtime,
So weāre gonna go ahead and try to go to first sleep and see $
It is 11:29 PM and that was half laying down meditating and half a nap
Iām just not that sleepy or I donāt need much sleep
So you know what that means lol⦠$
*Pins snuggie $
Itās officially this thingās birthday too. I forgot $$
*Grinder squeak š $
I have to keep the scissors nearby just in case Alex decides he wants to get cute and I can end up grooming him a little bit $
The secret is that good art makes itself,
but it is your job to check all of the potential mistakes and play devils advocate $$*
AnyWho, it is 1159 & bout time for the great reset $
See you on the other side $
š«” $
We did it $
We made it through another great reset $$
Who wouldāve thought? $
AnyWho, it is another magical day $
This one has a lot of historical seasoning on it for sure $
Itāll be very interesting to see how it unfolds $
Considering last year marked the removal of everything Iāve really loved,
Iām hoping today is the exact opposite lol $
Cause you know, pendulums, and all of that $
& āYou reap what you sowā shit
and all of that $$
And Iāve been reaping & sewing like a mad man all year long $
If only there were some kind of evidence⦠$
Something to truly mark the symbolic change⦠$
There is simply just a level of gratitude that cannot be experienced or understood until you have lost everything that matters the least $$$****
Or at least everything that you can reasonably afford to lose,
and still complete the mission $$$***
Because Iām just so grateful each and every second of every day for my actual health and my movement ability and my many other gifts, of course, that could be removed any moment $
But if,
And a big knock on wood on this one,
If something were too seriously physically fucked me up beyond what I just went through,
then I literally would not be able to complete my ādestinyā $
But each and every single unnecessary ounce of anything had to be removed $$
And I feel like at this point at 12:03 on this super symbolic day that I have to accept that everything I have now, has survived another test of time $$
Even just writing that last group of lines hits different in light of the overwhelming amount of hours Iāve spent writing and editing and curing and analyzing $
And I now realize that I enter different states of consciousness quite often,
Some quite profound,
some the opposite lol,
But itās a form of intellectual philosophical verbal flow,
Only available when the conditions are just right,
But when they are, then the words cannot stop $$
Iāve always kind of known and thought this
But until you can go back and actually watch the footage or read the script,
it does not hit the same $$
The first couple of spiritual awakenings are nice and cute, but then you really have to get to the nitty-gritty for the good shit $$***
And I donāt care who you are,
you will not fully realize your potential until you teach others $$
Or until you are responsible for others
And their performance and well-being $$
You donāt have to know everything and you donāt have to be a prophetic sage, but until youāve repackaged what you know and given it to somebody else,
you will never get past being an artist $$**
And most truly talented artists are also captured by their own ego $$*
And they take actual crazy to a whole different degree $$
As once you get to the truly talented phase, youāre either gonna tear yourself apart or youāre gonna find a way through it all $$**
Whatever process this last four years has been, I just feel Iāve done it several times before lol $$
Which is why I never quit $$$
When I say that, Iām talking about the really big and important stuff,
Because when I quit McDonaldās, I wrote āI quitā on a clipboard and walked out that motherfucker $$$*
And I basically had to do the same recently with that one super wellness place
It was just a little nicer.. $
I love how my video of eggs is now at 19.3k views $
Thatās pretty funny $
You already know weāre starting this work off party right $
*Oven beeps $
Time to check out this garlic bread š„ $
This is very exciting because I was not hungry all day,
Except for just the basics,
And Iām not really that hungry right now, except I can feel it returning upon request if that makes sense,
For someone who has struggled to eat, that is a big deal $
I feel like a funeral is really just so you can see your immediate impact
Because I know damn well your consciousness is going to be watching it $
Weāre watching Vikings and weāre finishing the episode where lagetha finally dies
Not trying to be a dick, but I never really liked her character that much
Mostly because her accent was so bad
Not to be mean, but it most of her shit was forced as hell $
Dude, the house is about to smell better than anything ever
And gonna ward off fuck loads of evil spirits $
Garlic is really good for you too apparently $$
So some notes on digestion and how I believe it actually works
At least from a philosophical operational paradigm perspective; $
So you have three places where you store fuel,
Either in your muscle,
Your liver,
Or your skin (or organs),
(and yes, Iām aware that there are a couple other technical places like visceral fat, but Iām saying to keep it simple for now) $$$*
And basically your body just juggles between those three places $$$*
Because whenever you eat something in a perfect world, it goes to your muscle $$$
If that is full or not needed, then it goes to your liver, and then finally is stored as fat somewhere $$$
Starting with replacing brown fat, then within your skin, then within your organs $$$
Most of the time if youāre eating a lot of calories, and youāre spending most of your time in a surplus,
then youāre rarely ever gonna pull fuel from your fat $$$**
But letās just pretend that there were no emotional discomfort with a calorie deficit for a moment $$$
If you were to dip into a deficit,
Then the cycle works in reverse,
The fuel goes from your fat to your liver to your muscle,
It does not go directly from fat to muscle,
It must go through some kind of conversion process $$$*
And the amount of fat that your body decides to withdraw from its energy bank is 100% modifiable and can become its own skill $$$****
Because you really donāt pull from body fat every single second through throughout the day,
Your body sends a signal that it needs energy,
Then your body converts a bunch of energy at that point in time for however long it thinks itās gonna need it for,
And that right there is what you can fuck with $$*
Thatās basically like manipulating the money order,
Most people only authorize their body to spend a little bit of fat because theyāre usually so stressed out that they subconsciously think theyāre gonna need it and never need it $$
But if you improve your bodyās comfort level and stress level to where it authorizes the breakdown of more fat each time it gets the signal, then you can accelerate and manage your fueling far better $$
Hereās a real world example;
Letās say youāre on the trail and you just run out of all your morning carbs,
And letās say after about three hours, itās time to take your first break,
And your body has decided to dip into a deficit,
Thereās likely going to be about a 30 minute window in which energetically, you kind of feel like shit and youāre gonna wanna quit and rest,
and that is your bodyās way of saying that it needs a few minutes to really reload the chamber by switching gears,
Because again it takes a few minutes to begin converting fat, but once it a lot converts, you can get a surge of energy just like from sugar $$
So letās say you take a 30 minute break and you donāt eat anything but you just kind of chill and breathe,
Then you will still feel your energy return and it wonāt be because you just ate $$
Now, if you repeat this for a few weeks or a few months, then you will become very efficient,
And whenever you take that 30 minute break even if youāre not on the trail, your body basically does a fat breakdown meal,
Then you can pull at least 1000 or 2 cal $$
Itās the exact opposite of binge eating $$
Speaking of binge eating,
this garlic bread may be one of the best decisions of all time $$
I donāt want to jinx it tho
I canāt really say the same about the Kratom leaf powder. Iām trying not to be disappointed, but it also validates my recent seven hydroxy.
So bitter sweet $
That was absolutely incredible
I even added five eggs and ate them with the other half of the other half of the loaf š $
Dude, that thing was like $1.75 and is 1500 cal and is the cleanest garlic bread youāre gonna find
Especially considering the restaurant garlic bread & how hit or miss it it is when you make it yourself $
Iāve already got some amazing sandwich ideas
Because that would be such a good sub $
I mean, any other fresh loaf is gonna be about 3 to 4 dollars,
And if they freeze the bread, just like they freeze veggies, then itās probably healthier for you from a bacteria perspective as well $$
Thatās another side plug,
Those fruits and veggies that everybody loves to tote as the healthy shit, is often the most risky from an immunity and bacteria perspective
Not to mention food allergies, but thatās different $$
So the frozen fruit especially is incredible just because itās closer to skittles than anything
But frozen veggies typically retain some of their freshness and micro nutrient quality $$
At least thatās the word on the streets $
I am stepping out at 1:04 AM for a couple drags on this short
Truthfully, have been out here for a couple minutes, but hey $
I also have pretty much max layers on and itās not really necessary, but it is pretty remarkable How warm I am out here. $
And Iām actually really glad the wind has calmed down finally $
Maybe I should be the worldās worst neighbor & roll my garbage cans down to the street in the middle of the night and let the thunder scare everyone $
Lol, obviously not $
I donāt know how my ancestors managed to not get their capes so dirty tho $
Oh yeah dude itās already 29° and with these kind of layers on itās more comfortable out here than a summer day for sure $
Oh hell, why not?
Iām gonna try it again
āOuter Banksā $
The first time I watched, it was pretty good
Even though it was a really cringe situation with this old make out buddy
One of those friends with perks
Canāt even say benefits, lol $
This was right after I left the program back in 2021,
I remember she had a vape and I was more interested in using that lol
This is within my first month and I had nobody $
No offense to her if she somehow finds this cause she was a great friend
I was just truly lost $
It is now 1:33 AM and we just finished last weekās review $
Iām starting to get a little sleepy
And the sludge is kicking in a little harder than I would like $
Iām really thinking more and more, Iām probably gonna stick with micro dosing the seven tablet. $
It really is just a better buzz $
I think I might have had an insulin spike from that bread because I got kind of groggy and the brain fog kicked in pretty quick
So gotta be honest with that
Thatās some classic bread shit
But it might not be the bread qualitiesās fault,
It might be my bodyās metabolic reaction
Which might not be the worst thing considering I actually do need a little bit of glycolysis for the morning $
So weāre gonna try another street science experiment $
And at 1:49 AM we are going to step out for another cigarette lol $
This really isnāt even about the nicotine,
I just wanna be outside enjoying the night air
And I feel like a few minutes in the cold will help kick on the right metabolic heating pathways so that way I can go ahead and burn up some of this extra bread š„ $
I think once your body sends the separate signal to store fat, thatās when you get extra sleepy and feel extra groggy
Because thatās natureās way of telling you to stop doing what youāre doing and rest $$
I donāt really know how to describe the feeling or state of mind beyond what I just mentioned though $
Itās this weirdā¦
Motivated?,
but not real certain next move kind of thing
Or itās like I wanna do some work now,
but I also feel like Iām being told to pause for a moment $
Maybe reflect on the Fuckery of the last year? $$
Itās kind of hard when your phone might be cut off at any moment
But on that note, I think I have at least two more days knock on wood šŖµ $
And of how I felt yesterday,
If just pushing it a bit in a good way is any indication of the next loop, then I am very excited $
Iām just tired of having to do so much thinking and planning lol $
I was right about the house smelling amazing lol $
It is time to go idle in bed and let the gods decide what happens next $
It is 5:37 AM and a brief intermission $
It is 8:30 AM and we are up $
It is now 12:28 PM and we have been killing it again all day today $
Leg workout was pretty good,
but pretty simple some hypertrophy stuff with some functional seasoning,
which felt better than it ever has $
Pretty much from the moment I woke up, I started dashing and got a couple orders which is really good and very clutch and a positive sign that maybe I can hustle up enough to pay the phone bill.
I just hope it doesnāt get cut off for randomly. $
Knock on wood šŖµ $
We are making a gain bowl,
We have not had any mind or mood altering substances,
other than the caffeine squirt,
which was pretty mild if I do say
We also have zero cravings $
Mood and motivation are excellent and equivalent to Adderall levels almost
But naturally, there is still some fluctuation and some minor energy dips, which I think are fueling related $
Itās a weird personal best, but I just did a dash while eating a gain bowl
Multitasking on a whole new level $
I gotta say,
AI can certainly do the job of a real estate agent,
And pretty much every single sales agent, Ive coached
But it canāt coach them lol $$$**
the easiest way to get a creative to stop creating instantly is annoy them a lil $$**
Kind of crazy how the best fathers usually didnāt have one $$**
It is 3:23 PM
I will confess that I have taken two hits and one sludge shot
But Iām only using two bags of black tea instead of three
So thatās notable $
I will also be more honest and say that now that my tolerance is really dropping fast, and my overall metabolic machine is running better that I am noticing just how beneficial those herbs are $
But this is kind of what I say often is if you have zero tolerance, itās almost worse, unless youāre the kind that likes to use it very rarely
But for the normal people who are tired of alcohol poisoning them,
If you just suddenly go smoke,
even one hit of anything these days is gonna make you super paranoid $$*
But with the right balance & the right small tolerance, then it becomes ideal for daily or consistent use $
I swear once we get most of this corruption out of our pharmaceutical studies and universities and all of that shit,
and we can actually fully realize and study the benefits,
I bet you itāll come out that the benefits from consistent cannabis use outweigh any of the downside $$**
But once again,
youāre gonna need some scientist that actually understands the full cycle because Iām not saying that you smoke a joint and it suddenly heals your brain directly,,
Iām saying it does have some Neuro benefits,
but itās mostly a lifestyle thing
Because once you start sleeping better and stressing less and having more fun and less existential crisis, etc⦠$$
And also,
itāll make you significantly funnier just out the gate
& Iām telling you thatās better for your health than a little bit of a carcinogen smoke $$*
In a weird badge of honor,
I also think itās better to be able to take a big hit like a G,
instead of some stupid shot without a chaser $$$****
There are some extra rebellious points for becoming proficient with proper smoking technique, especially since itās been illegal for so long $$
Cause any ass hat can become good at drinking,
And if you donāt believe me,
then I just invite you to any AA meeting anywhere $$$*
And you can hear all the stories about how people were self admitted alcoholics after their first drink $$$
Tis now 5:47 pm and we are at mint hill bbq waiting on a dash
I gotta type like a caveman cuz Iām inside lol $
Had a great jogging session
30 min jog/ 20 min walk at alternative intervals $
Productive day
Baby steps but theyāre big too $
It is 7:58 PM and we are stepping outside for the first cigarette of the day
Just a little Shorty though $
Itās been a very productive day
Energy has been even better than yesterday $
I keep theorizing as to exactly how and why,
And it must be the synchronicity of three factors,
One the closure of family trauma, and of letting go and letting God deal with them, however he decides to,
Which was extra hard because itās basically likeā¦
well Iām not even gonna say it $
Two,
it is the rebuilding of my body and itās metabolic operating systems-
I have finally recovered from most of the biological damage and have replaced most of the tissue that I lost,
Itās a little different and I now need to get back to the barbell,
But that was our foundation before we left off anyway so not too worried about that $
And third, is certainly timing,
It is full circle & the completion of the hardest year of my life by I canāt even express how much $
Complete solitude $
One year ago at this time I was on the phone with my parents and it was one of the worst conversations Iāve ever had $
I probably would take back most of the things that I said,
even though it wasnāt inaccurate⦠$
And it was certainly called for $
Pun not intended $
The next couple days were getting my car out of the repo,
And dealing with the most cringe job interview of all time,
Right after the second most cringe interview of all time lol $
I didnāt realize I was being trolled,
Actually, I did,
but I didnāt actually see it like I do now,
The patterns and the timing and the techniques employed to get me to lose my shit and to fold,
Cause I know it was a test to see if I would sell out $$
But nope $$$
Better than ever
just with less money lol $$*
It is 9:15 PM and weāre stepping out for a cigarette $
I gotta say,
Iām actually leaning back more towards the seven hydroxy as maybe the daily go to,
The sludge without a tolerance is just to hit or miss and too inconsistent $
I mean, it takes too long to kick in sometimes,
Or it kicks in too strong and then I get irritable and that weird uncomfortable nod like,
& Without even a good buzz to go with it
And also the sludge taste like shit, of course $
Price wise itās not even that advantageous $
If I buy the bulk tablets, then itāll probably be about the same
But that does come with additional risk if Iām being honest $
That is a big reason why Iāll go in the store by three at a time every two days $$
Because in times of stress, it gets real easy to split a tablet
And also, because it kicks in quickly and fades out quickly, it becomes pretty easy to justify another round $
Iāve got plenty of notes on that lol $
But especially now that I actually donāt feel the need for it during the day just to complete work and not blow my head off emotionally speaking,
Then itāll be delegated to more pleasurable midnight buzz š $
And I think if I keep the sludge during the day and the tablets at night, then thatāll probably balance itself out and provide a nice little treat $
Kind of shitty that my video about eggs got 20,000 views while my video with the Bible and the UFO only got 1000 $
But hey, better toknow your audience than not $
I also think it is better to be the Dasher than the dashee
As a point about avoiding comfort and complacency, and all of that $
I always kind of liked it when a team was winning and they just kept running up the score. Sometimes it seemed unnecessary, but I felt like that was the whole point of training is to be able to send it and rack up a bunch of points.
And I take that approach with active service whenever I can or small acts of kindness $
It is actually really good thing seeing more highschoolers getting into lifting and more young people getting into it $$$
Everybodyās gonna be insufferable for their first three years, no matter what so itās really up to those who have been in the game for a while to be inviting and welcoming and all that jazz $$$*
And not shit on the activists and amateurs too hard $$
It is 10:31 PM and weāre stepping out for the rest of the cigarette $
Just thinking to myself-
Is it seems like my routine is naturally beginning to drift back to what it used to be for most of my 20s
Which was basically 8 AM to 2 AM
With a single sleep shift if you will
Back then, I was working nonstop
And literally pretty much would leave the house within 30 minutes of waking up only to spend 30 minutes before going to sleep when getting home
I would never be home is my point
I had no pets
Every house or apartment I had was barely furnished at all with zero art
I had zero emotional energy to do anything outside of work and lift and hang out with friends
And I was actually very healthy lol
I was just in my own lane and zone and going from one accomplishment to the next
Freestyle stroke instead of treading water if you will
But then eventually, the wins started becoming less meaningful and then after you get played a few times, you start having to get creative
And then you start asking the tough questions
Like, why am I emotionally dead inside? $$*
So I credited the mushroom for resetting my biology and giving me hope & a second chance
And then I can give the rest to the āschool of the mysteriesā for amazing trolling $$
I mean, teaching $$
Voice to text am I right? $
But ever since I went to personal training and then I had to go to the crazy hours,
Thatās when shit got real crazy $
But funny enough,
I was obviously sober so I was not doing midnight movie smoke offs
But when I was a teenager,
that was one of my favorite things to do because I could escape from the hell that was my daily existence $$
And I could watch lockup or some forensic files or something like that
and all was right in the world $
So when I started smoking again, the opportunity came up and I would take it $
But I left the program in July 2021 and I did not fully have my ticket punched by a mushroom (around the moon) until New Yearās Eve evening of that year six months later $
When I first left the program, I ended up wasting a lot of money just because I didnāt know Jack shit about cannabis
Or Kratom
And I was doing weed runs to Michigan, because it was a legal state and they had cheap shit and no buy limits $$
This was also before THCA flower and all of that
And the fact that the candy store down the street, pretty sure sells the real shit, wink wink
But my usage was actually double what it is now
Mostly because of the symptomatic classic ADHD
A lot like this past year biologically speaking
But I wasnāt really in a deficit yet and I was still rocking 200 pounds Ish
I was the strongest Iāve ever been $
I was when I was repping 300+ on flat bench, but Iāll stick to the point lol $
Right after that mushroom reset me mentally, I can tell it sent me physically too because once spring rolled around, thatās when I just became Shreddy Krueger $
That summer I did do a milligram of LGD here and there
I mean, literally 1 mg instead of the usual 10 mg dose
So not exactly that crazy, but just keeping it real $
Now that summer, I definitely began burning and thatās when I got exposure to jujitsu for real and all the sleds and that weight vest
And the trail $
To clarify the timeline-
I begin the cut and endurance training in 2022
One year after leaving the program $
In 2023 is when shit got really adventurous
But and I mean this, as humble as I can,
I pretty much maxed out all reasonable endurance performance adaptations pretty quickly,
And when I did a 55 mile hike, I literally gained weight
And on the last day, and the most brutal day, was the easiest day because I finally dialed in my sodium and all the front loaded carbs that I consumed were really kicking in, and I was nearly sprinting up and down the hills
I kept leaving the group behind a little bit and I had to slow down $
But right when I got back from that trip is when the real writing began
And from pretty much 2024 was nonstop numbers and basic shit and the real boring tedious stuff that is pretty much instant panic attack to anyone with a classic case of ADHD $
But I didnāt have too much other pressure & the relationship at the time was seemingly synchronistic spiritually,
and looked like it was going to be a real family $
So the support from her and her family meant the world and Iāll say this every single time I can that if it wasnāt for their support, I would not be anywhere close to what I am today
even though itās still flat broke $
But whatever comes out out of it and however, it helps the world,
They deserve some credit and some cash and I really hope I can pay them before long even if itās in a secret Santa way lol $
Because during that time, I was essentially training her and her family and all my other clients and seniors and gen pop in the martial arts gym $
And surely after 2024 began I was pretty much by the computer if I wasnāt with clients $
And thatās when the midnight sessions were really just work sessions. I just hadnāt realized it yet. $
And then of course, 2025. This time was when everything fell apart.
I wonāt go into detail, but things rapidly deteriorated the six months leading up to her leaving,
And I wonāt character assassinate because God knows I have all my shit,
but there was nothing I could do to communicate with her & to get beyond her trauma
or to even have a shot in hell of getting her to understand even a quarter of the stuff I was working on behind the scenes $
Because every time I was up early, she slept in late
Every time we went to the gym, something went wrong
There was always something coming up random
I Could never say anything right,
We couldnāt even have any real conversation about anything borderline controversial without her becoming too emotional because of her attachment to her own beliefs $
And anyone thatās ever read a quarter of my shit should know that Iām as middle road as it gets,
And the fact that everything politically is a puppet show anyway $$$
so if you want to invest in that emotionally at the expense of your loved ones, thatās on you $$$*
Or I guess in this case that was on me because shit just got pretty petty ever since she left $
But yeah, for the past year, itās been mostly focused on my families immediate health $
I just donāt like to bring that up as the reason why because it feels like an excuse, but it also is undeniably the reason why I havenāt been able to recover because Iāve been so focused on trying to āsave themā indirectly $
Or by somehow saving the world, I can save them because itās related and theyāre the reason why Iām on this Crusade and all that jazz $
But the truth is that it looks more and more that the past couple years were about closure because if something doesnāt change with their health, itās not gonna be very long before something does changeā¦
And Iād knock on wood all day and night, but I donāt even know if thatās the right thing anymore $
But I do know that I have closure and that I have literally turned over every single stone I can in an attempt to eliminate any āwhat ifā $
And then I started painting those stones cause I thought maybe that would be a technique to trick the into lifting $$
And at one point, my mom did actually pick up a weight because she painted it $$
So I did accomplish that goal and she is the real reason why Iām painting all these weights $
Cause itās really fun
But was another failed attempt to get somebody to lift with me lol $
But since last week and since that last hell meeting,
I refuse to ever engage like that again,
I have no idea what I might need to do to avoid it,
But ever since I forgave myself for not being able to save her,
I can tell Iām beginning to recover $$*
Fuck it it is 10:49 PM and weāre gonna go do a little bit of reading
Weāre going back through the āsecret teachingsā for I donāt even know how many times now $
Part of me is suspicious that these eggs might be messing up my gut biome if you know what Iām saying
I really donāt know, but I canāt really credit anything else as to why the bathroom was a little iffy yesterday $
But then again, I did eat a bunch of eggs, extra runny on accident $
Fuck it
Itās 11:20 PM and weāre gonna go ahead and try to go to first sleep
And what I was saying earlier may or may not hold up,
Because if I get a good first round, then I can still be up around three or 4 AM and that would make a lovely blaze off lol
I also forgot that back in the day I needed closer to nine hours of sleep just to function
And now I could probably get by on at least six, but maybe less $
Good morning world $
It is 5:33 AM
Thatās pretty crazy as I nearly just slept for six hours $
At a somewhat normal time to $
So weāre gonna get up for a little bit see what happens $
It feels an awful lot like the many different times Iāve had to wake myself up for work for somebody else or something else i didnāt want to do $
As of 5:41 AM even my morning grog is now lifted and it may not seem like very much, but for most of my life the first 30 minutes of waking up were literally hell $
I remember as a young kid,
VH1 music videos were about the only thing that carried me through getting up and dressing up for private school $$
I would be so groggy in the morning that I would fall asleep in the bathroom floor sometimes when I was supposed to be getting in the shower $
I had zero techniques at the time lol
other than just getting angry at the world $
That as a teenager, I discovered cannabis and I no longer want to kill myself while waiting on the bus in the morning $$
But then I would fall asleep in math class
And taking math first thing in the morning while stoned the first semester resulted in having to repeat that class lol $
At least that was 10th grade,
Because ninth grade was still the private Christian school and was carpooling every day $
But I got kicked out a week into of my junior year at independence for a pocket knife in about 3 g of the green $
Thatās not a joke
But it sure seemed like one
Everyone around me was very excited though to take part in trying to destroy anything of value that I had left $$
Cause after I got kicked out of school,
I got my license taken away,
My girlfriend immediately cheated on me, and I couldnāt even go to prom lol $$
Back then, the fact that I get kicked out of regular school and was at home all day doing private online classes didnāt matter that much because all of my neighborhood friends had begun dropping out anyway so I didnāt even have to wait for them to get out of school to hang out $$
I have many highlights of walking to my friends house at 10:30 AM in the throes of some kind of panic attack of some sorts $
Halfway through high school, most of my friends were drug dealers
So whenever I would show up someoneās house, it was basically a trap house
You never know what would happen $$
Unfortunately, a couple of the main men that I used to run around with during my final days have recently passed away $$$
Three of them Within the last 18 months..
& the last two of them, I think within four months
Most of my other friends are so estranged or probably homeless or incarcerated that I really donāt know what theyāre doing $
Maybe theyāre reading this right now $
Is that you? $
Dear reader? $
Are you one of my old friends whoās sneaking a check up on me? $
Or are you a random from the Internet? $
Or maybe a stranger from the streets? $
Cause after what we went through a couple months ago, thereās no way Dear reader.. $
thereās just no way⦠$
Unless⦠$
The prophecy is true? $
Is that really you? $
Deer reader? š¦ $
With your antlers and your sleek hooves? $
*Lighter flick $$
(God help me š)
No, no way ..
weāve already been through this $$
and that jokes been played out $
Friendly reminder that all you can do is make the best decision with the information you have $$*
Just donāt be so afraid of getting it wrong and youāll get a lot more right than you expect $$*
If you were to create a psy op,
All you need to do is take an extreme position ,
One half (the stupidier) will buy in immediately no matter what it is as long as you seem confident and secure $$***
The other half will take the opposing position (naturally) $$***
Sometimes the hardest thing is simply to be where you are
But thatās always the right thing $$*
God help you if you make eye contact too many times on accident with the wrong person $$**
Anyone whoās ever walked into the gym on their own accord is a friend of mine $$$***
Or anyone whoās tried some push ups
Or a jog $$$****
Idc about lifetime energy score $$$****
It is 12:10 PM and we just completed a new personal best as far as single orders go
Over 22 items from the Mexican place next to the gym to the doctors office that I used to go to for my primary care lol $
The commute was easy, but I had to make like five different trips to and from the door and within a bunch of extra boxes from the restaurant $
I am low-key starting to worry, though, because the order was so massive if I accidentally started grabbing a bunch of other peopleās food.. $
So I hope and pray that I didnāt do that $
The manager or owner helped me to the car and to box it all up though so if I did fuck up, then he is complicit $$
In other news, I think we mightāve just finally broken our phone bill threshold, which is phenomenal
But the biggest win is being back in the routine and rhythm š„ $
Iām gonna try to get a little more and then Iāll allow myself a treat and to celebrate $
I can live with failure
But I cannot live with the knowledge that I didnāt try $$*
It is 2:11 PM and I am recharging on the floor
Itās been an amazing day so far and super productive
And a couple personal bests with dashing like I mentioned
Even though Iāve only done a couple orders, theyve been pretty damn big
And I am very grateful
And I feel like Iām in the zone, both mindful and mindless $
That is the challenge as far as balancing both because of course I still have my desires and fears & all of that shit but I think more and more the game is about trauma management $$
Because ever since I allowed all that bullshit to let go a week ago, I can finally feel myself healing
And I have a shit load of notes on the small intricacies about dopamine and motivation regulation under pretty much every different circumstance so far $$
I do think seasonality and just a simple fact that weāre getting close to spring is helping a lot too
Synchronicity and all of that of course
But again this game has been scripted for a long time
There have been plenty of times in which I dialed back my āusageā and I can guarantee you that the impact was not this profound biologically $$
A few times in which I found myself recovering this quickly were directly after psychedelic trips
Reinforcing my theory about about closing those unconscious loops ā° $$
And based on the conversations and phone calls that I had a year ago this time I can now see that Iāve been living in that uncontrolled unclosed loop for the entire year pretty much and it really has not been āmy faultā but more of āa testā $$
But again, if I did not have such an extensive history of being basically a workaholic, then I would not be recovering this quickly either
Because at this point, the creative stuff is now fun and becoming unconscious and no longer ruining me emotionally
And I keep finding new techniques to make it with a side hustle for at least a bit longer, so I donāt have to mix monetary motives with the art and the training and all of that $$
Because delivering a couple pizzas is a joke compared to all the shit that Iāve had to do
Hell, even my first adult job at McDonaldās working overnight wouldāve been a nine out of 10 on the bullshit scale $
And of course thereās a few things more soul draining than working third shift at McDonaldās in the winter while freshly sober⦠$$$**
I guarantee if you had to give somebody the dopamine that Iāve had to run off of for the past year, they would probably be institutionalized $$$*
Because the Adderall destroyed my biological ability for at least six months,
And the family destroyed any sense of peace or stability and kept me in fight or flight all year long $$*
It is 4:32 PM and we did it
We successfully paid the phone bill and got a little bit of candy supplements to get ready for the epic work campaign this evening
At least thatās the current plan cause once again who the fuck knows lol $
It is 7:08 PM and we are doing a dash for ourselves
Something is telling me to take the night off from dashing for others so I can be fresh and also I need a break after hustling and coming through on a big win
So thatās nice lol $
I may fuck up 1 billion times but I will never quit $$*
And if I fuck up more than everybody ever has then that is A-OK $$*
It is now 7:31 PM and we have returned home from the Lion
We got 1 pound of the 7327 beef
30 eggs
Another thing of garlic bread {he he}
And a fresh box of graham crackers, and a can of black beans
Nice $
You can tell how much dopamine i have based on the cleanliness in my kitchen $$***
Thatās about the only way to really put it $
All right, as of 7:58 PM weāre gonna go finish the cigarette
And the lovely 60° slightly windy but clear weather $
Nice to see the tree is starting to bloom a little bit already
I mean these fuckers really do follow the moon donāt they? $$
Kind of crazy how all types of trees and plants and animals and all that act pretty much the same except they donāt āhave a way to communicateā.. $$
I just ate probably about a third of that garlic bread
And I put a little ground beef on it and oh my God was it amazing
I mean, I could probably house a good bit, but Iāma slow my roll $
The last time I ate it, I wouldnāt say I got a stomach ache, but I did feel kind of groggy immediately after $
It is 8:54 PM and so far so good reasonably so
But Iām actually pretty upset because when I was playing with Alex, everything was going really great and I was even grooming him and then suddenly he attacked my hand in a way that Iāve never seen him do before,
Iāve never seen him actually try to inflict pain and then after I yelled because it was so sudden he gave me this look that Iāve never seen,
I mean, Iām actually pretty disturbed right now
I genuinely hope everythingās OK with him, but like he legit owes me an apology somehow $
Iām sure he can fucking hear me too
I mean, he just walked off and I havenāt seen him since $
Well, I tried to have a talk with him, but who knows if it actually did anything,
He just kept looking around as if there was some kind of fucking pixie flying around the room or some shit
Iāve already prayed I donāt know how many times so moving on $
It is 9:16 PM and we are outside for a cigarette
Less for the nicotine and more for theā¦
I donāt know,
something somewhat melodramatic that rhymes with nicotine shrug š¤·š»āāļø $
I just took another fifth of a tablet
I guess Not quite a quarter
So weāll see what happens, but I gave myself permission to rest for the night
Iāve been watching Peaky Blinders, which is like waves of engagement $
I mostly get pulled back into the whole aesthetic of the 19 teens
And also, what do you think I got the idea for smoking from?
recently that it is.. $
Gonna go ahead and note for the record so I donāt forget,
This week for push day, I threw in some Smith machine compound movements,
And I did some today for pull,
I did some stuff on the Bosu for legs,
And Some basic cable and machine isometrics,
My chest and shoulders are pretty sore and I think my back will be tomorrow,
But when I woke up, my chest was so shot today that I was worried about my recovery timeline for tomorrow $
But itās feeling pretty good by now $
Also, I know Iāve dropped a lot of water weight, but I really do think Iāve shredded most of the fat that Iāve already put on
Which mightāve been 5 pounds at most
So it is very realistic that I could drop a pound a week,
And considering even when I was eating absurd amounts of cookies that was actually going to brown fat mostly because of how warm I could get and how quickly $
But says the moon, spring is here
kind of š $
I guess intellectual spring $
So I guess my next steps are to go back and sort through recent notes and continue compiling for social media,
Finish review from December,
Go back through and schedule out the cuts
Starting with the manly,
Prepare for the resistance games launch on Friday the 13th,
Along with the season for strength school
So I gotta write the schedule and program and all that
Thatāll be fun $
The cards are essentially complete as far as the design aesthetic
They are very functional and I am very happy with them $
I will also note for the record that I swear the seven hydroxy from the candy store is a weaker batch than the one from the smoke shop
I donāt know what it is, but they are distinctly different $
Fuck it Iām gonna go read $
Good morning world $
It is 1:27 AM
I am at the movies tonight
Iāve been saying that most nights
And while it is true,
Most nights I end up doing some kind of work or something
But tonight my focus is on enjoying something $
(lol like I donāt say that everytime too)
Maybe actually watching something $
Probably not though lol weāll see $
Itās not looking good considering how long it took me just to pick on something I had technically already seen before⦠$
Honestly,
And I really do mean this sincerely because it might sound sarcastic as fuck,
I really do enjoy some elements of dashing,
Whenever Iām not being petty or anxious over some small minor details blown out of proportion $$
There have been many times in which I really appreciated the smile that most people have when I hand them their food š± $$
But Of course, most of the time Iām dropping it off at the door and running away as fast as subhumanly possible $$
But even that has gotten pretty fun because at this point, Iām trying to touch up all the final small details and there is no better real world mobility challenge than delivering food.
I can promise you that much. $$
And as dramatic as I am,
I will admit that I logged the negative moments much more often than the positive because the positive are far more frequent $$
Four out of five times things are usually very smooth or with a very minor hoop to jump through $$
And at this point now that I have the secret insight into all of the nearby restaurants,
Iām far more accurate with picking the ones with the nice employees,
There are some places and even some days of the week that I know who is gonna be where at this point,
And Iāve even gotten the flow down as far as with other competing Dashers,
So whenever I accept or deny an order, I have a very good sense of what is coming or going $
And also because I have earned my stripes and done so many bullshit orders Iām now pretty good at staying very close to home and not ending up in some ass crack part of town $$
The buzz is starting to kick in pretty good so buckle up
And sorry if youāve heard parts of this before $
I remember just under four years ago when I first started working as a trainer,
I started working at the LA fitness I once lived next-door and trained at daily,
which was now 30 minutes across town at time of employment $
And I did not know it until I was already there, but when you first started as a trainer, youāre gonna have a lot of downtime between your sessions
So that is when I first tried DoorDashing $
And it was so brutal that it backfired more often than it helped
Because Id end up getting some order way across town
And because I was so far away from my home turf,
It was gonna be very difficult $
Also, if youāre familiar with the area,
Mint Hill is far more manageable from a fine technique detail perspective, than Ballantyne,
Especially around 4 to 6 PM,
But pretty much any point of the day was fucked up over there lol $$
I will admit I really did love that apartment $
Hereās a little bit of a swerve, but I guess some extra color to your boy here,
I first moved out of the house at 21,
I moved into a 770 square-foot apartment in between South Park and Ballantyne,
I was pretty much the poster child for recovery,
I had a good job,
Great social circle,
Pretty much every single box on paper was checked respectfully $$
The future was bright & I was just entering the athlete phase so I had minor gains,
but really had just made most of the mistakes already without realizing it $$
And of course, within a month of moving out, I enter a relationship
First major relationship of my adult life, which lasted about 18 months $
It ended horrifically,
but the relationship itself was actually probably the most stable, most balanced, and most peaceful you would really ever find $
It ended because I was an emotional shell and between work and the fact that we just werenāt the right romantic fit, it became suffocating $$*
But that first year moved out was really nice although about a month into the relationship, I really wanted to be single lol $$
As a classic young rockstar,
I couldnāt even make it to 23-years-old without getting a bigger house and buying a Mercedes lol $
So after about a year into the relationship, we decided to move in together and rent a house in South Ballentyne $
And of course, about three months into that, I end the relationship because I just couldnāt do it emotionally anymore $
There were several factors of this,
And Iāve spent a lot of time blaming ADHD if Iām being honest,
Because even though I was coming down with a bad case of āfuck-boy-itisā,
And work was beginning to lose its meaning thanks to corporate greed,
There was some additional underlying biological bullshit that left me emotionally bankrupt $$
This was really when I began the second part of the athlete phase in which youāre just grinding all the time and youāre on your way to becoming a workaholic $$*
Mostly because I was surviving on the dopamine wins,
and I had no other emotional north star if you will $$*
I was very creative professionally, but I couldnāt carry that energy to personal affairs or anything artistic,
So any free time I have was delegated to binge watching,
Binge eating,
Binge swiping,
Or course binge training $$
And naturally spending absurd amount of hours at coffee shops and church basements $$
Pausing on that because thatās an excellent book name-
Gonna come back to it $
āCoffee shops & church basementsā
If you know, then you know $$*
But because I was buried under false priorities,
And due to the natural tendencies of young people growing up,
Letās just say I needed a lot of time to sort some shit out $
So right after she moves out,
Iām stuck alone in a 2500 square-foot four bedroom, half brown picket fence house for another nine months $
That was a very lonely chapter, even though I was moving nonstop
Again, thatās when I really learned I could use work to cope emotionally at least for a while and get paid.
And get pu$$y $$
Thatās another point,
I believe nearly half of all relationships start in the workplace $$*
If not greaterā¦
But more accurately
I would say 4 to 5 of all slam pieces involve some kind of shared work environment $$**
Because most people do not do well with digital dating $$*
But do find it easy and reasonable to live out their fantasy of getting it on in a storage closet $$*
I think the greatest flex of all time would be to be an incredible artist without being neurotic
Or taking yourself too seriously $$$
Getting back to the plot and the point of the story,
Was after the nine months that the lease in that big house was up & then I moved down the street to the apartment next to the LA fitness
And that apartment was definitely the clichƩ solo bachelor pad $
And yes, I openly talk about my hoe phase often because it was laid to rest four years ago
But that was the ideal set and setting to work all that bullshit out.. $
Kind of funny my apartment number was 309 $
Also, my real estate license was 306900
I mean, how bad ass is that? $
& My MLS number was 67133
I mean, dude.. $$
Itās funny, cause I could never appreciate those numbers when I was āin the fieldā $
I never wouldāve realized that selling houses during the greatest global pandemic/gaslighting would be the the front lines against the fight of evil Fuckery, but I guess thatās how things evolve $$*
I moved out of that apartment the summer of 2020
And came back to this wonderful training house
That was once occupied by my maternal grandmother $$
You know my grandfatherās wife.. cough cough š· $
When I moved in, I had to renovate pretty much everything myself,
And while the big stress items werenāt really an issue like finances, and all of that,
The simple mundane āchoresā were some of the most emotionally draining days of my life, especially after I moved in $
I mean, I couldnāt even finish painting the cabinets in my kitchen for a few months
And of course, I did not have any furnishings for my previous apartment,
So itās not exactly like they magically appeared once I moved into a larger house $
I would spend another 18 months like that
slowly, emotionally withering away $
But I did get super fucking strong
Cause thatās really when I began training two or three times a day
But that was mostly hypertrophy, so I literally became a brick $
That made for some very interesting stretching sessions beginning in the end of 2021
Because I remember distinctly not being able to touch my toes even back then,
and the end of that year was also the first time I would do a weed run and jeep camp šļø $
And I was probably about 190 pounds and letās just say sleeping in a jeep at that point was very uncomfortable $
Pausing just to update the record that Iām debating on what kind of thing to eat
Itās either a ground beef gain bowl
Or graham crackers
And Iām leaning towards the crackers, not gonna lie he he $
But back to the story,
That was when I was starting to fruit some of my first homegrown mushrooms
Which were laughably pathetic but legitimate
at first, I think I ended up with maybe a total of 7 g dried from the first batch or two
But that was enough
Oh boy, was that enough lol $
I would get pretty good at it $
And I remember nine months later
In September 2022,
At the end of that same summer in which I started training,
And the day that I started at the North Charlotte location
I harvested an incredible amount
And there were some beefers in that batch that were bigger than my hand $$
I had them pretty much on standby for a while
Just thinking out loud,
I grew up fuck load of mushrooms, lol
Cause I remember having even a good bit all summer long
And I never really ran out until I entered that relationship
Thatās just simply when I stop growing them
Hmmm š¤ $
I need to get back to it obviously & that is high up on the priority list
And I will teach the world how easy it is to grow them $
But another one of those things that you forget you overlook $
OK, I think I need to eat now
And then Iāll probably smoke and be back with another tangent $
For now weāre gonna start with a small gain bowl for the extra sodium and stuff with some crackers for the extra fuel $
Maturing is realizing that beans breakdown faster than beef and are much cheaper,
and actually if I dare say, sometimes easier to eat $$
Not quite as healthy for you, but definitely worth using more of
And I really think thatās chipotle secret,
I swear my bowls are better than theirs if you adjust for lack of spices
Which could be viewed as a positive $
OK, I need to shut up for a bit
It is 2:12am $
I guess the resistance games is kind of like if you wanted to play skate but with weights $
I think thatās the itch Iām trying to scratch creativity wise. $
That bowl was amazing $
It is now 2:42 AM
Do you know what time it really is? $
If you guessed time for half a cigarette after one of the best mobility sessions ever,
you would be correct $
Looks like it is a light drizzle out here as
Everythingās wet $
Hereās another secret for whatever itās worth,
This is the Godās honest truth,
Every nice picture I have on the website was taken when just āfucking aroundā $$
āDid you bring the camera?ā
Instead of
ā weāre gonna do this at this day at this time this wayā¦ā $$
There was one āshootā that was a random afternoon when I was doing yardwork in my sweatpants
And homegirl was just taking pictures
And then it suddenly rained
And thatās when I have some of them most aesthetic shots Iāve ever taken
Iām not saying I am one, but I definitely was not trying to be a model $$
Well, I guess in some ways thatās bullshit, but Iām talking about in the traditional $
Noting for the record that I have taken 1/8 of a tablet and one shot of sludge
But that was once I woke up
And now the sludge is beginning to kick in after a little bit after eating
Reinforcing my theory about it being so variable due to metabolism
And why the tablet is surprisingly showing to be more consistent $
*Start Vikings season six episode eight
**33 seconds laterā¦
***Pauses to go read $
Itās gotta be like 63° inside, but Iām still wearing the Snuggie $
It is now 306 am and I think weāre gonna go ahead and head back $
I have zero desire for crackers or Kratom lol $
Good morning world part two
It is 8 AM sharp
And I am rising
Kinda like old times $
I will also note for the record that I have discovered this week just how effective a towel and some warm water can be on your armpits
Works better than a store-bought wet wipe $$*
If you wanna live like a worm, then you better have fun in the dirt $$$*
It is 8:39 AM and we are on the way to planet
It is a rainy day $
Just met a cool dude name j****
Talking about restore and how he knows K*** $
Always a lil weird when the seat is still warm lol $$*
One way to get over your fear of being wrong is to assume the most pessimistic position possible
Then just give it a little bit of time,
& When youāre proven wrong, it will be such a relief, You will recondition your brain $$
Sometimes the next right thing to do is technically wrong,
but thereās no other way to learn
Thatās called training $$$*
You donāt need to sit and brainstorm intently for very long until you start realizing that many of those thoughts that just pop up probably aināt your thoughts lol $$$*
Friendly reminder just about all of history has been rewritten and fucked with
And if you donāt wanna consider that at all times then we will not make for good friends $$$*
Well well, nearly got to witness a fight at the McDonaldās
What a thrill
I can feel my biological guard switch on $$
Iām cool but I can feel my fight or flight engage
Crazy cuz it didnāt have anything to do with me
But I clearly felt their emotions
Which is highly noteworthy as it is distinct evidence of some kind of psy telepathy/ connection $$
Shit is falling apart at the McDonaldās rn
Boy am I grateful beyond measure š $$
Most people donāt actually care about what theyāre pretending to care about
They just care about it enough so you care about them $$$***
Pretty much as long as you give a timid person a little bit of reassurance, theyāll likely like you forever $$***
Now that I have completed that dash successfully,
The fight in McDonaldās was the most pathetic pointless shit ever $$$
There was one fairly overweight, long hair type of you know who,
The other was the exact opposite but also with long hair,
Ironically, both the clichĆ© ācrazy wokeā types,
And you could not distinguish either oneās gender..,
The skinny one was picking up a DoorDash that had been ready the entire time and all they needed to do was grab and go, but they waited for the managerās permission which was completely unnecessary and a waste of time and a distraction for the other larger wokey
& the large wokey took that as an offense because they felt as if they were waiting longer $
(sorry in advance if the pronoun shit gets fucked up, but Iām legit trying to get it right )
And the other one wanted to make it clear that they felt that they were there first, $
And as they picked up the dash to leave the other, they began routinely yelling to everyone but the skinny wokey that the skinny one was about to get fucked up $
And how the skinny they needed to get a real job.. $
The manager had to step in in real time $
But what was kind of funny is that she was not phased at all
and you could tell that she had been used to doing that shit every day $
It was honestly very comical, but very sad $
Considering the podcast I was just listening to was about what happens when this kind of shit goes off the deep end $
I think weāre gonna celebrate surviving that dash
And 5:06 PM
with a short of the cigarette š¬ $
Is it bad that afterwards Iām grateful for experiences like that because it really does affirm how far Iāve come? $$
Cause truth be told I was gonna end up being somewhat like them
at least behaviorally $$
I donāt think I wouldāve been trying to be a girl though..
Or something in betweenā¦. $
Being a man is way too fun,
but I never wouldāve made it this far if it wasnāt for the secret program $$
The one benefit though at this point considering Iāve been dashing somewhat consistently for about three months,
Is that every restaurant that has been late before now recognizes me for being the ānice patient Dasherā that always thanks them $$
Wayback burgers even knows my first name somehow
They picked it up real quick, before Christmas even,
And shout out to them because even though theyāre always late, theyāre always nice and friendly and clean and the food. Iām sure it is great. $
The last time I ate there that I can recall,
was with my ex and we got into a fight over some bullshit,
And then I came home and had to film a bunch of demonstrations so that was fun $
Treating all drugs like theyāre created equal is about one of the most foolish things you could ever do $$$***
Well, that was pretty fucking weird
Just ran into one of my closest old neighborhood friends while picking up an order
And he seemed very, very fucked up
And of course first thing we talk about is how another friend pretty much got killed recently so whenever I used to joke about the streets of the hill, people always used to think I was kidding,
but nope $$*
It was good to see him,
And of course he was nice,
He recognized me very quickly,
but Iām only surprised because he seemed like he was basically either drunk or so stoned it was in discernible $
Friendly reminder that anything thatās ever come from a screen or a piece of paper is propaganda of some fashion
Not always negative though $$$**
If you need a example as to whatās going on with the super evil cobal thatās running the world,
Just envision what you do with grand theft auto⦠$$
Thatās pretty much how theyāre treating everything $$
If you moved a stone for every pound & every rep that youāve ever done,
How many pyramids would you have built? $$$*
I guarantee you even a consistent activist will build at least a couple $$*
But the profane will probably never build a single one $$*
But just imagine how many somebody could build if they trained every day for their entire life basically.. $$*
It is 9:10 PM and we just finished off that box of crackers
We gave the kitty a little treat
I swear that little motherfucker makes my heart explode
I am over yesterdayās incident, but that still was pretty fucked up $
So we should have part two of the tablet buzz kicking in
So weāre gonna go step out for an evening smoke $
My cannabis tolerance is already back down to activist level
I say it all the time,
That is one of the best parts about it is the tolerance,
and because it can come and go so quickly $$
and very reasonably as long as you are active $$
But I swear when you are sedentary, that is a whole different ball game $$
That is another reason why I am convinced that plant is not only ancient but magical as fuck $$
itās probably like 63° or something $
Almost had the opportunity to interact with the neighbor just now,
I donāt wanna talk shit, but he threw some stuff in the trash quickly and hopped in his car
I tried to wave. I hope he saw. $
Iām sure theyāve seen my Wi-Fi nameā¦
Which is muscles and movements lol $$
And Iām sure theyāve seen the giant ass heart on the wall
And me and the barbell $
Today was pretty solid overall,
Iām now starting to see the next year clearly
And Iām getting a really good schedule routine outlined
Itās kind of sad, but I am feeling so much better this week than previous that Iām rethinking some things
Because my work ethic and energy levels are returning
And itās not completely family trauma related
There is a good bit of the creative stress thatās lifted because now Iām not really making anything new, Iām just fine-tuning everything I built.
And itās getting better than anything I expected,
And easier,
And by better, I mean just in the sense that it is authentic and fun and seems to scratch the spiritual itch,
Itās not really about what other people think,
But it is,
Just not in the self-centered way,
More like using myself as a prop kind of way,
And I think a lot of people would feel better if they accepted that thatās really what they are,
At least thatās what their body is $$
Instead of some precious trophy that they need to keep perfect at all fucking times $$*
Iām learning more each day that the more and more you choose resistance and the more and more you try to fail, the easier it is to learn $$*
Think about it,
If the first goal is to learn as many mistakes as possible,
Youāre gonna be prepared upfront safety wise and expectation wise youāll have a lot more fun $$
And hereās the kicker-
Youāll learn more than the alternative approach $$
Because immediately once you feel what is wrong, you will become aware of what it is right $$
And that feels super shitty but for like one night,
And then you wake up the next day and youāve recovered and youāve grown and youāre ready to go to the next mistake $$
And youāll find quickly that youāre out of mistakes at least at their current level,
And then you begin climbing the skill hierarchy
& once you actually start climbing, it becomes a game $$
I know my trophy case in heaven has got addiction and ADHD in it
Along with depression for shits and gigs $$*
Good morning, world $
It is 2:08 AM $
Iām pretty disappointed
Without getting too lost in the weeds in details, itās about politics and how a lot of the people that were giving people hope this round have turned out to be hacks $$
Just on the other side of the fence $$
It really breaks my heart every time somebody unnecessarily goes out of their way for greed $$$
Every single lie matters $$$
Lying is different than concealing though $$
Iāll probably go on a tangent about that later when I actually feel like it $
As of 2:21 AM, weāre watching Peaky Blinders
Weāre on season three episode one
And itās pretty good
I canāt remember how much I watched the first time a few years ago, but Iāve seen most of the entire series
But I think I fell off around season four $
But I gotta say..
Iāve never seen so many cigarettes being smoked in such a short amount of time $
Assuming itās historical accuracy then you got to really give our ancestors a little credit $
But then again, whatever they lacked in nourishment from their diet,
they made up for with alcohol and nicotine and resentment $$
Thatās why I love older shows because not only is there an added artistic element to it
But it really does help provide some context and a reminder how far weāve come $
And remember reincarnation leapfrog whenever you talk ancestors..
Otherwise, youāre gonna be real confused most of the time $$*
I do have a delightful buzz going on now
Thanks too about three hits and 1 piece of a tab $
This is one of those times where I get to celebrate having a reduced tolerance $
I also need to note for the record that - that might be the first time I did not confuse the āIā and the āeā when writing piece $
One thing I honestly really never talk about because I feel like most people low-key are kind of this way-
Is dyslexia $
I have certainly got a mild case of it and Iāve had it forever
But itās weird, it rarely ever crops up these days unless Iām thinking too hard $
And now that Iāve been writing this much and that it has become the equivalent of intellectual exercise,
I can tell when I get in certain states of mind
Itās almost like living life with a conscious magnifying lens on $
Whenever youāre on a certain part of the creative process,
Especially with anything analytical,
You have to use your ego to sort out the details,
Or at least you have to use the same tool as your ego uses, which requires you to manage that state of mind $
Remember though, when the dark side of the ego is active is whenever youāre the most emotional
And that is when anger and resentment come out to play if you were not careful $$
So when going through this part, you have to use different intellectual pathways
Which consume energy at a much higher rate $$
This is the equivalent of mental hypertrophy,
Because youāll be able to do quite a lot quickly with high attention to small details
But once you run out of juice, then if you keep pushing youāre probably gonna do more harm than good $
I think itās also helpful to view cognitive processing power almost like gears on a bicycle
And I find about seven gears seems to be the best paradigm
And I think the ancients would agree $$
But I view it more like that than anything,
The big gear or the low gear does all the heavy lifting and has a lot of torque $
But the small tiny gear spins quickly and help to maintain speed and energy efficiency
Itās just about using the right one at the right time if you want to go the distance $
So the big gear would be ego in this case
And the tiny gear would be more of a spiritual flow state consciousness $
So you can ride 30 miles either way
But if you employ the right technique, it might not even feel like work
Might feel like fun $$
Suddenly, I am now thinking about garlic bread
scrambled eggs and garlic bread sounds really good $
Finishing that up right around 3:21 AM
Five eggs and I would say about 40% of the loaf š $
Stepping outside to finish off a cigarette $
It is misty and foggy as hell out here
The definition of humidity
And of course, I have on my Snuggie
It must be about 63° $
Actually, itās 54°
I donāt have on many layers, but I thought it was gonna be warmer than that
Probably cause I just ate and because itās humid
And when itās humid that heat is way different $$
Come hang out in the south backwoods if you donāt believe me $
I would honestly be willing to bet that the humidity heat is worse than what you might get on the open sea $$
Because everybody loves to glorify cruises as a vacation, but nobody wants to go to the muggy woods and call it time off unless youāre my kind of crazy $&
So the last bit of garlic bread I had seemed to settle decent
I think it was due to the quantity
Frozen bread when reheated is a little doughy though
But it seems like good quality bread $
I do think though that the carb coma thatās kicking in afterwards is probably due to the carbs and less about the ingredients $
I wouldnāt surprise me if my late best friend is responsible for voice to text saying his old nickname every time I wanna say the word Carb $
(Voice to text says āCarebā bout every time)
His name was Caleb for those who donāt know
Or Seabiscuit
He had a bunch of different names
But he really only had one face
And he never really wore a mask
Which is why we got along so well
He was quiet more than anything
One of the most angry scary, looking motherfuckers you might meet tho
I give him credit for my descent into weightlifting
Because he lifted in high school
And was pretty strong and had respectable numbers for a teen right out of rehab
Oh, I remember his maxes..
Because they were my goals for the first two years, I was training lol
235 bench
405 dead lift
And I think it was 455 squat
OK, maybe I donāt remember as much as I thought because it was a long time ago and I put the petty competition to bed
Because unfortunately, I could not really convince him to lift with me
Thatās all right,
He was great at lifting spirits
Even if it was just by cracking jokes or being the best listener Iāve ever met $
you know what fuck it,
Iām gonna try to find some World War II shit $
Iām gonna finish the documentary āBritain and the blitzā
Because my grandfather taught flying and Iām pretty sure it was involved in all that shit.. $
Like the whole getting in some machine and going to fight and being almost certain you aināt coming back just seems so familiar..
So desirableā¦
I donāt know why I want itā¦. $
This documentary is pretty good, but itās just reminding me how,
And this is gonna sound a little mean but,
Most women seemed ugly as fuck back then $$
Iām sorry, but itās not just a style or cultural thing either
Itās like this weird, generic borderline, masculine looking feminine
I donāt know..
In some ways, it would explain the attraction pendulum in my life This lifetime and why I valued aesthetic so highly for so long $
I mean, Iām certain I was no looker back than either $$
Everybody seems so content just to slowly wither away after doing some heroic shit $$
I mean, I understand back then comfort being a good goal when the default was pretty brutal
And I can understand how making your way to a position to where you donāt have to work and you can retire on a beach, Sounds like a good idea šš» $
Cuz my ass was very happy to chill on the beach and drink a little too much in the last life $
It is 12 AM and Iām getting up after a decent second sleep $
I would really question your motives and your training program if youāre spending a lot of time buying new clothes for the gym.. $$$*
It is always those who throw on something classic and comfortable that score the most energy points $$*
Cause a couple details Iām still working out are energy expenses for those neurotic assholes out there,
Because if youāre going in and youāre having a three hour marathon HYPy workout,
But youāre on 18 different supplements and youāre gonna go to a hyper wellness place right after to get an IV so-and-so,
then thatās gonna detract from your natural energy score $
Remember kids, the whole goal here is to naturally make dealing with bullshit in ālife on lifeās termsā a little bit easier
Not becoming a science experiment and reliant on weird pharmaceuticals.. $$*
Cause thatās another thing-
big pharma doesnāt really give a fuck what youāre buying
As long as youāre buying $$$*
So now theyāre trying to capture all the fitness freaks
Thatās part of the why I was getting upset last night when I was hearing all this shit about Casey Means $
When I was reading her book āgood energyā I had no idea she was trying to be the surgeon general
Which originally sounded like a great thing
And Iām still not completely opposed to the idea, but then it came out that she lied about some super petty shit
And also is falling in line with some principles that seem pretty fucked up, especially with this whole glyphosate bullshit $
(Did more digging and as of 3-9 she still seems like one of the good ones) $
I remember the first time I thought I could get away with regular shoes in a kitchen
I slipped and busted my ass so quickly lol $$
Non slip shoes are worth their weight in gold to the right server $$*
Tears of gratitude while delivering McDonaldās in the rain on a Friday morning at the end of winter
At the end of Hell year
Beat that $$
Bro

It is 1:47 PM
Iām mid dash from Papa Johnās and I got to say this because I am triggered
Oh boy, that woman working there is evil
(Or very sick)
Iām not really sure how else to explain it
This was an incredibly minor incident,
I literally just walked in and said the name and she said it wasnāt ready yet even though it was..
But I could tell immediately that she deliberately knew that
And the other guy who was working was the one who actually ended up grabbing it from the rack and handing it to me because it had been ready the whole time
I could care less about waiting the three or four minutes,
But I have done many dashes with this woman, and I know she recognizes me and I know sheās been nice before & Iāve even given her a compliment,
But I have seen her filled with hatred more times than I can count $
Iām telling you if thereās one thing that DoorDash has taught me it is that at least half the people that handle our food are actually evil $$*
I mean, like legit
they rejoice at your suffering
So what do you think theyāre doing when youāre not paying attention.. $$*
But to clean it up a bit
The young woman working at the Papa Johnās near the Teeter is one of the most shrill and aggressive souls I have seen in a while.
There has not been a single time I walked in there and felt comfortable.
Half the time sheās actually yelling or being so passive aggressive that it makes your skin crawl,.
And today was just sad because I had been nice to her every time I go in there,
And I can tell she was happy to make me wait..
Even for just a couple of minutes $
It is now 2:30 PM
Weāre having a phenomenal day
Iām feeling more and more like my old self
My really old self if you know what I mean
Just been flying around the town
Doing some reading and some writing $
I can finally tell that my body is getting close to being healed from the last year
I mean, I think for all functional purposes Iām technically recovered. I just have not yet been starting to really physically push it.
But if I was to compare my energy scores from last year versus this year, I would be way higher this year just because of the amount of movements & the amount of reps that Iāve been doing
I havenāt gone heavy in a whileā¦
But I havenāt needed to..
Cause come the next two weeks, strength school is back in session
And I am very excited for that shit $
I truly wonder how many cigarettes Iāve given out in my life
This life $
I always had a rule to never say no unless it was the kind of people that would literally take advantage
And trust me, Iām not judging the struggle because the struggle requires all different kinds of techniques $$
But picking up shorts in a parking lot is a whole different level of desperation $$$*
Remembering the cruises me and my friend went on when we were 14 for some reason
It wouldāve been I believe early May,
And at one point on the trip, we were stealing peoples leftover drinks on the top deck by the golf course lol $
Some dude offered us a joint, but we didnāt hit it cause it was kind of sketchy $
And I donāt think we actually got any ganja on that trip, but we did bring back a couple bowls that we picked up in Nassau $
So technically speaking, that was the first time I smuggled anything internationally,
Even though it was just a glass bowl and Rastafarian pipe $
Friendly reminder that Froot Loops were top of the food pyramid..
And soda makes up nearly 20% of all snap benefits $$$*
Food stamps people $
people are buying soda with food stamps mostly $
It is 3:09 PM and weāre gonna go do a walk
Even though there aināt that much sun, lol $
Iām from North Carolina where we have some of the most fucked up pick up trucks youāll ever see
And some of the coolest $$*
lol new challenge
Deliver 4 filet of fishes without vomiting 𤮠$
It is now 7:38 PM
We just finished another gain bowl after another lucky dash $
I believe the next two weeks are really gonna be about taking a break from everything and letting the dust settle and just doing the bare minimum naturally to see what happens
With the plan of really kicking things off 3ā13 $
Eerily quiet..
But not in a creepy way..
You can still hear the slow roar of the suburban main vein
And everybody going to and fro there favorite restaurants
Itās a lovely 7:44 PM $
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my second interview at my last brick-and-mortar job $
It is now 8:14 PM and my motivation and energy level have crashed
Iām guessing the caffeine is finally worn off
Itās either make more tea and keep doing what Iām doing or go to sleep
Part of me wants a caffeinate and keep at it
Thatās what I wouldāve used to do
The other part of me is saying, just go to sleep $
It is now 11:37 PM and we have our answer
We got a nice three hour nap in
Weāre gonna try to go to the movies
It is time to go ahead and initiate the buzz $
*Pours shot $
Maybe I shouldnāt clarify much tonight just to freak out the activists who donāt know anything else about me ⦠$
So when they start hearing me cut tablets and poor shots and take hits, theyāre probably gonna bug out $$
Kind of random but
One way to look at it is any chemical or medication that is some kind of receptor modulator,
is gonna fuck you up for a lot longer than something that just simply gives your body some extra materials to work with $$$**
This is the biggest difference between man-made pharmaceuticals versus natural, herbal supplements
Most man-made shit is going to change how your body operates or trick your body into signaling things differently,
which comes with far more side effects than the more natural alternatives, which give your body more respective molecules to use $
And most natural supplements contain multiple ingredients that usually work together $$
Good morning world $
It is 12:05 AM $
We were reporting from the throne
We are watching Peaky Blinders
And we have the worldās best kitty in the lap $
Heās all extra soft and puffy because itās so humid and rainy lol $
I still donāt really quite understand how that works, but Iām learning $
Moments like this can make even the most difficult skeptic a believer in magic $$
Remembering that
Believe it was March 3, 2021 the first time I benched 315
Technically, it was a rack press
Which again, if you want to get extra technical is harder than a regular bench press $$
And it was an accident
I remember I actually wasnāt even feeling all that motivated that day
But I was feeling strong as shit $
It is 12:55 AM and time for half a cigarette $
It is so nice and so quiet
I gotta remember that sometimes sounds echo down the street based off the logistics on where my house sits $
Itās so funny because this is literally the exact house some old retired Air Force vet wouldāve chosen..
Because it backs up to the woods,
Only one way in but a short and easy way out,
The neighborhood has two access points,
And is even shaped like a little bit of a spiral lol $
Itās also pretty crazy how one of the neighbors at the top of the street is a retired Air Force vet and he has both the American flag and the Air Force flag flying.. $
I mean, seriously you canāt make this shit up
When I say the secret was staring me in the face my entire life..
Like I donāt think you could take it to any further extreme than this lol $
Itās very obvious that the āangelsā were pretty much constructing every single move..
They knewā¦
They knew once I learned how to ride this fucking dragon what was gonna happen $$
Especially if they watched what I did with a plane in the past life
But what I most proud of, is apparently that I was a teacher $$
And my message for the world is you need to teach something to someone somehow ASAP $$$
That is the key to immortality in so many ways it is hard to describe $$
But for now, Iām really talking about how much you learn about yourself when you teach others
You notice very distinct patterns,
and dare I say ancient pathways.. $$
And it doesnāt take long before you start realizing thereās only one reason why this shit feels so familiar..
And then you start doing the mathā¦
And thatās when your head really starts to spin $$
But my mom always said all the time pretty much that there were angels and all that guiding everything
And of course, that is part of the inspiration behind my first tattoo
Which I got conveniently on my one year sobriety date
So I guess the 13 year anniversary is coming up he hee hee $$
Lol I almost forgot how I recently discovered that my āoriginal sobriety dateā is probably a week early therefore been a lie kinda
But again times are so fucked up back then it doesnāt really matter that much
Cause if weāre gonna start splitting those hairs, then I donāt think you can call my last āuseā, āa useā
Which would make the true beginning of my recovery with my hiatus from my love of Mary Jane
February 17 or something like that $
Just popped the last piece of the air freshener in the oven $
Sorry, I mean garlic bread $$
I donāt wanna ruin the TV show but karma just came for Tommy Shelby in the form of taking what he loves most $
Time to do a little mobility before this last piece of celebration bread if you know what Iām saying $
That shit was so good
Last nightās big piece seemed to digest fairly well
There is still kind of this weird fog that I think is do mostly with carbs, but could be because the bread itself, but thatās gonna be very difficult to confirm
So the piece I just ate is probably the equivalent of what you would eat as a side at a restaurant
Nothing too crazy
But if it makes me feel a little weird, then thatās a much better sign that it is due to the ingredients & less about the actual macros or calories $$
Weāve put on the series/show about the open jail experiment $
I canāt believe they still get away with shows like this
They just told all the inmates that itās just a documentary series about life behind bars
Which I guess is true, but how do they not get suspicious that itās for entertainment? $
How come every sheriff in the show got a big ass cowboy hat on
I mean, I know theyāre in Arizona, but theyāre literally inside
And theyāre doing the whole spiel for the TV show.
I can tell this is not actually doing it as legitimate business meeting. $
It is 1:50 AM and time technically for second sleep $
It is 5:47 AM and weāre taking a brief intermission $
*Lighter flick $
It is now 8:12am $
Training done right is a lot like getting high on yourself. Thatās just the truth.
But itās a good thing as long as youāre aware of it,
but if youāre not aware of it, then youāre creating a problem to be dealt with the same as any other $$*
Skit idea
āTraining to get a real job ā š $
Just met another super cool dude
Named A*****
Complimented my intentionality
Very kind and made me smile $
Tis 11:53 and just completing another glorious back workout
Oh boy idek what all I did
Bunch of SNG arm iso shit with a cable with moderate weight lol
Deff hyp focus with str seasoning $
Need to do skit on questions doctors canāt answer $$$***
You cannot call yourself a physician if you do not understand diet and nutrition and exercise
Hard stop $$$****
I donāt give a fuck what your degree says $$$***********
Tis 5pm and we are dashing a bit after making a bunch of 8020 beef and a lovely gain bowl $
The ancients are coming thru clutch so farš¤š» $
It is 8:49 PM
It has been a pretty productive day
Easy in some ways and hard in others
It has been most difficult, taking a break from all the creative stuff
But in other ways that has been easier than it has been this whole year,
I do feel like it is pretty much complete as far as strategy and all of that and I feel it is better than I ever expected $
Recently successful dashing, but hard to keep it up if I want to pay the bills without having to start compromising the creative stuff
So the hard part is staying patient and basically like resting $
So Iām not quite sure what Iām about to do next. I guess Iām gonna upgrade the buzz which is at like a solid two right now.
It is Saturday night after all $
The fact that I feel like a girl every time I adjust my hair when itās down is evidence that I was a girl at some point in the previous life
Cause it just feels super feminine every time $
I donāt really feel lonely, and I havenāt really suffered much loneliness, emotionally speaking over the past year,
even though the silence has been deafening sometimes
But occasionally, I do feel this weird sense of guilt as if Iām somehow fucking up and then that is some kind of shitty Segway into the loneliness
Because I think the real reason why I donāt feel lonely is that the work Iām doing seems noble and honorable
And Iām sure some therapist will say that I invented it all just to cope and that Iām delusional..
But they havenāt seen the mathā¦
So I know deep down Iām doing the right thing
And all life is just one series of decisions based off the previous series of decisions
And all we can do is make the best decision with the information that we have at the moment $$
Iām not even consuming much caffeine,
but now that it is wearing off so is my Will to live lol $$
Social media and the commercial gym have a lot of things in common
-Both involve showing your ass to the world
-Usually looking foolish doing something you probably donāt need to be doing
-And is a sess pool of insecurities and people trying too hard $$*
It is 9:25 PM and we are making another gain bowl this time just rice and beef after having another little side of beef to top off the protein and the fats $
This kind of base gain bowl is what I ate a lot of last year, but for some reason, it taste a lot better this year $
It is 9:39 PM. Weāre stepping out for a cigarette. $
I almost feel guilty that Iām feeling better and Iām not having to take as many notes every single fucking hour
Donāt want to be like false advertising or some shit $
Kidding, kind of $
Sounds like a damn airport out here again $
Not really sure what the next move is gonna be
I swear actually doing nothing is the hardest part
So hard thatās why Iāve been clinically diagnosed with all kinds of shit $$*
Cause,
And just hear me out on this,
What if spiritually speaking I was some kind of soldier/scout/sailor/pilot/librarian/operative,
And Iāve been doing back-to-back loops to get this country going,
And Iāve become addicted to āhigh speedsā if you will,
And so for the last incarnation and a half,
About 64 to 72 years Ish for being precise,
Has been a lot like prison of the nicest most transformative kind. $$
Oh, this is so sweet and sad.
Alex is pawing at the window cause Iām outside smoking.
I swear seeing his cute little face every time I pull up or at least most of the time makes me so happy
It makes me sad when he puts up on the window though and longingly watches me leave
I just love little guy so much $
He is seemingly normal for the most part since that incident when he tried to kill me the other night
Which was kind of weird, but I am also impressed with his strength
so you know, thatās cool $
I have so much shit that I need to either fix or replace or renovate at the house
Itās not as bad as it sounds I guess but pretty much just about everything could use an upgrade
Specially, the kitchen appliances,
but I want to do all that shit myself eventually
That way, I can complete the loop from when I moved in,
and I wanted to die every time I had to lay some vinyl plank $
That was peak Covid
I was living in Ballentine next to the LA fitness,
And then moved to mint Hill,
But the only gym that would open was the golds gym in rock Hill, South Carolina about 45 minutes away without traffic,
Which was no reason to miss the gym
And I was glad to drive that,
Sometimes twice a day when you count in real estate activities,
And then Id go uptown at night to hang out in the parking lot lol $
If I wasnāt doing those things, then I was probably at a park $
There is some kind of big party festival thing going on somewhat nearby
Very loud music
I think itās some kind of shit at the shopping center again,
All kinds of weird businesses keep coming and going in that strip mall $
You know the one with the Dollar General and my mini antics buried under the many layers of paint behind on the back brick wall.. $$
And it sounds like Spanish music
So that fits with the culture on that side of Wilgrove Road $$
