Still fumbling towards a routine that works for the writing and trying to get up to speed towards building the body back better. I didn’t realize the damage I’ve done across the last 10 months. It’s genuinely bad. +15 pounds at least and a ton of negative mental energy. That sort of thing is harder to get rid of later in life; especially when you’re wondering about how many good years you have left. So, I am here to get good and get to a place where I can maintain that good. I haven’t touched a weight or a workout plan yet, but it has only been a few days since we touched down here on Rebirth Island. I haven’t even settled in. I will though. Once we figure it all out, I will have a long time to get after it and make myself into the person I want to be moving forward.
Always forward.
I spend too much energy looking back at who I was and missing that idea of me. I gotta become who I can become now. It is a hard thing to do, but it is a thing I am capable of doing.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Abdul Carter calls out Jaxson Dart for introducing Trump at rally: ‘What we doing?’” What are we doing indeed? I mean I want to love this Giants team but I’m on the edge already. Don’t mess this up.
- Skattebo might already have by promising more than he can deliver along with bad math. All signs point to him and Nabers not being available early season.
- Since we are talking football, I want to go on record as saying the AZ press done messed up. You shaded my kid. He’s coming to prove you wrong. So, I guess a thanks is in order because by putting mediocre talent ahead of him (he hasn’t even made the list of 150 yet despite back to back all conference mentions) you’re getting the chance to fire him up. Thing of it is, he doesn’t need posterboard material. He doesn’t feed off that. He’s above it. I like that. Doesn’t change the fact that I’m gonna get to say I told you so.
- Yep, I’m that dad. I will, however, keep it to a brief mention in some thoughts. Four words… when it happens, four words. Wait for it.
- Random realization about having step kids. I’ve been in their lives for a while now. The Lady Talis and I have been in each others kids lives for half those kids lives at minimum. Most in some cases. What that tells me is that though we haven’t been there from the start or for the initial formative years, we’ve been a family for long enough that we ought to be a family long after we, the parents, are gone.
