Only proper way to start Friday is by loading up 225 on the bench (no spotter) and seeing what you can do. The rest of the weekend just has a way of falling into place after that
Outstanding weekend in Vegas with the fellas. Striping drives and letting the good times roll. Really learn to treasure quality time with friends and family more as you go through life. Cherry on top is spending a weekend sober in Vegas makes you feel like you can do anything
Warms my heart to know my future wife is sitting somewhere at complete peace today knowing subconsciously she’ll be eating well when I’m cooking on Mother’s Day. Pancakes, waffles, or eggs with fruit for breakfast after her morning Pilates class. Steak or Salmon for dinner (her choice of course, but I will sway her towards steak.) She’ll also be able to enjoy her book at the beach all afternoon in a blissful state, knowing her husband is the most shredded dad at the little league field (and it’s not really close, either)
Manchester by the sea has to be one of the most painful but unique films to watch. Honest portrayal of how things impact us all differently and we can put on a facade in day to day life, but at the end of the day you’re the one who has to look in the mirror and move forward
After roughly 3/4 of a year, I have a love/ hate relationship with California. Some days you really can’t beat the feeling of the consistent 70 degree sunshine and I can’t imagine why anyone would be unhappy here. Other days, this place seems so played out, past its prime, and lonely despite there being so many damn people everywhere. Plenty of positives to come out of it, and some regrets too. What’s undeniable though is the lessons I’ve learned over the time and how they’ve changed me. I don’t take anything for granted anymore and holistically have a much healthier approach to life
Been ripping ZZZquil the past two nights to recover from sickness. Noticed an odd side effect where I wake up with Big Poppa by Notorious BIG stuck in my head and have an overwhelming urge to cut up a rug like this kid. Kind of a great vibe to start the day. Interesting play by Vicks. Gotta respect it in this economy
Being sober for an extended period of time feels like a hack. Mood is way less susceptible to fluctuate with the day of the week, or wake up feeling like shit from a social event. More dependent on what’s on tap for the day and how I need to prepare for that. In a perpetual groove. Much easier to stay in the zone than have to get in it at different times
That Valentine’s Day Venmo from your mom just hits different (will be used partially for a large ice cream cone with the boys tonight.) Reminds me maybe I am doing the right thing by holding out for a girl whose favorite song is also 3AM by Matchbox Twenty
Friday. Making the DMV feel my wrath first thing this morning, they’ve never seen a man approach an appointment so confidently and assured that all paperwork is in order. If you gon piss like a puppy, stay off the porch. Let the big dogs eat
@BaseballUnited Called my shot on this one. Hit my line for more action that puts asses in seats with entertainment on and off the field. Can also coach with the best of them. Think Johnny Football meets Deion Sanders. Sneak peek promo could be the first person to run a marathon and play a pro ball game in the same day? That’s all I can say for free, we’ll talk further soon.
