Another Workout Plan, Consistency is The Problem
From early February to now, I’ve been skating consistently since I joined Substance Skate Park. I think it’ll help, and I will improve by summer. For years, I did not skate much in winter, so how much I’ll improve is a guess. But I want to get good. On a sour note, I somehow stopped…

Skating, reading, and a Weak Attempt at Entrepreneurship #readskatelove, and Vids
Over three weeks have passed since my last post. The perception of time remains distorted compared to life before COVID. I’ll start with the shop I posted on my blog. I’ve done this before, but the process of setting up a store took me five hours. Through the hosting site Bluehost, I had to set…

Winter Thinking: How to Spend One’s Time
Metamucil is the most critical daily supplement I take in this picture, but the other two are essential as well. In June of 2022, I had a health scare that I went to the ER for, which put me on this middle-aged man regimen. It feels so long ago, even though it’s less than a…

Comedy Never Left, it Simply Adapts to the Times
“Who’s there?” “Who cares?” “I do, especially if I’m going to let you in.” “I’m your past baggage and future allure that you can do what you want with.” “So I can distort, exaggerate, and flat-out lie in my comedic journey.” “Yes, you can, and in the words of a friend, nothing matters. I’ll check…

However, the way people listen to music has changed dramatically, and now most stream from websites like Spotify, YouTube, Amazon…

This Website, The Last Few Weeks, Covid, and Other Insights
August was the last time I posted on this website. The idea of writing once a week fizzled quickly, with only five posts to my credit last summer. Last February, I had grandiose plans for this website and signed up for a three-year plan on Bluehost. You know who uses Bluehost? Companies, businesses, and other…

Nearly a Decade, and Still Learning
Sometime in 2013, I came up with my idea for a novel. It has been quite the nine years. I can’t claim to have worked non-stop on it, but I’ve done two complete rewrites and restructured it several times as well. Currently, I’m revising it again. Before I had a two-story line approach of 25…

Whine-fest of the last 5 years
I’m trying to figure out how to write this without whining or complaining. I’ve thought about it for over a week now, and maybe sitting down and typing it out might be the best way. I’m happier when I skateboard, but the last five years I’ve had challenges. I’m 45 now, so these woes coincide…
