Hey there!
This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

2017-10-09 Multitasking to the Tune of Change
It’s Monday morning. Fall is in the air and it feels like change is quickly approaching my life. I’m back at the gym this morning writing from the elliptical machine. I’m somehow really digging this dynamic… feeling productive in two areas at once AND writing makes an hour of cardio go by super fast. I’m…

2017-10-08 Five Guys Burgers and Fries.. 2.5
How many guys does it take to make an above average cheeseburger? More than Five Guys apparently. 😛 Of all the burger joints in all the world, how did THIS one become a national chain? For starters, the atmosphere is “meh” at best, very fast-food-ish which I guess might be what they were going for…

2017-10-07 Do What You Want, Do What You Like
Today feels like Saturday. That is probably because it is Saturday. Ha! But seriously, more and more everyday feels like Saturday and I like it. Today we are finally getting a break from the Fall rain and the sunshine is amazing. From my desk in by bay window I am getting a nice breeze of…

2017-10-06 Funky Monkey Friday Cryday
I’m not terribly inspired today. I got my morning workout in and have been working on swapping out my spring and summer clothes for fall and winter. That’s only fun for a quick minute and then it’s just not. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons. Winter would probably be third with fall being last,…

2017-10-05 Why Not Both?
This morning I met with one of my former managers and we had a good conversation about career, things I should look to be doing, and just generally catching up with our respective lives. There was a lot packed into that hour and while I didn’t necessarily come away with a concrete yes on potentially…

2017-10-04 Oh the Tragedy of Reality
I woke up this morning feeling sadness. I’ve been riding on such a high the past week or so I guess it was bound to end eventually. I mean, emotions are situational and fleeting and the reality is that there’s not a whole lot of permanence in this life. Relationships are temporary. Events that we…

2017-10-02 Looking Back and Looking Forward – Part Two
For the second night in a row last night I was trying to type while literally falling asleep. It’s not as if I have not been getting good sleep, but the days just have me so worn out, my body and mind are past ready when 10:30 approaches. That’s a good thing I think. It…

2017-10-01 Looking Back and Looking Forward
I didn’t realize until just now when I typed out the date that it was October first. Well, I knew, I guess, but I had not really thought about it. Until now. That means I have officially been unemployed for three months. In month #1, July, I dedicated my time to adjusting to my new…

2017-09-30 Another Satisfying Saturday
Today I had a little bit of anxiety when I woke up. Most of that was surrounding attending the wedding of my good friend Amy. I was mostly nervous about getting there on time and being with a bunch of total strangers. I suspected I would not know anyone there except the bride and the…

2017-09-29 Let the Matchbox Immersion Begin
T-minus 7 days until Matchbox 20 comes to sing all their songs for me. I know most are thinking that they are coming to play a concert for a bunch of people, which there is some truth to but the real motivation behind their visit is to get an audience with me. You see, they…

2017-09-28 Complications and Obstacles
A few days ago I left off on a very high note and the excitement I was feeling was literally coursing through me like electricity. I’d made a decision to pursue something that I’d considered and dismissed in the past.. higher education with a targeted focus on writing which is something I have had a…

2017-09-27 Answers From Within
I was left to my own devices for most of the day yesterday. I was left alone to choose what I wanted to do without any influence from the outside world. It was a day of following my internal compass and I followed in that direction both physically and mentally. As I sit here now,…
