I have learned that consistency is the most important aspect of success. It took me darn near 40 years of life to finally realize the importance of being consistent. Just showing up does so much more than anything else you can do.

completed my first ever 5K today. Now I am sitting under the fan with a wicked headache regretting every life choice I have ever made. Guess next time I should probably cancel if I wake up a little under the weather.

I’m thinking of resurrecting my gaming YouTube channel but only creating maps for TTRPGs.

My undergrad thesis was about the effects of the coal industry on our environment and the benefits seen with its slow phase out over the last thirty years. The removal of the emission limits from coal power plants is very disturbing. #climate #science #environment

I have found refuge in reading, D&D, rewatching "Elementary" for the third time, looking up immigration requirements around the world. You know perfectly normal things for people to do when they feel stuck in life. How are you all holding up?

We are at a strange crossroads. The US Military takes an oath to the constitution, they are now being asked by the head of the military to potentially go against the constitution. I do not envy those that have to make such a difficult decision and F*ck Tr*mp for putting these folks in this situation

Working on getting my daughter’s life saving surgery bumped up to this year so that we can flee the United States. Like those who fled for the new world to avoid persecution we are preparing to flee to protect our family’s right to health for a preexisting condition. My heart is broken right now.

I am a man with almost zero rhythm and almost zero hip movement, but I love to cha cha. I have never felt sultry, sexy, or intriguing but that dance style makes me feel all of those ways all at once. I just want to roll my R's and dance under the moon in the streets of Havana. Am I alone in this?

Wife had a dream of a relative on my side of the family she has never met. I went down a genealogical rabbit hole to see what he was trying to tell her. It was an interesting way to wake up this morning.

I am obsessed with Sherlock characters. I have a list of my favorite adaptations. 1. Psych 2. Elementary 3. Sherlock and Daughter 4. Sherlock 5. House MD I still have many left to watch, but this is the list as of today when I started watching the No. 3 placed show. #sherlock #fandom

Stepped way outside my comfort zone and did a Zumba class tonight. Wow I am bad, but I had fun being bad at it.

Just went to the Arthur Murray medal ball for our local studio. Got to perform a dance in front of the crowd and got our certificate of completion for part of the dance program. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to learning more in the future.

I did something scary, I drew a picture for a YouTube video, and you wanna know something? It turned out pretty good. Exploring the Joy of Drawing youtu.be/GlmixzCbuVM

Note to self, and any who care. Homemade bread lasts exactly 3.5 days in my house so I must make two loafs a week.

If you are using stats to place hate on anyone you are part of the problem. The golden rule will always apply in my life.

Baked some bread with my daughter today. I let her do all the mixing, I just handles the measuring shaping and baking. I think it turned out pretty good.

Now that Memorial weekend is here I think I am going to attempt to make YouTube viable for myself. My goal is to upload a video every week from now until the end of the year. We will see how it goes, but I have a dream of actually going somewhere with this.

My daughter has begun to sing the theme song for mister Roger’s neighborhood whenever she puts on or takes off her jacket.

I have spent more time in my garden this year than I have ever before. I have learned that even when mistakes are made in the garden, the joy I get out of working the soil and communing with the birds and bees is an amazing aspect of gardening. I cannot be mad while I am out in nature. /|\

I find myself more and more drawn to the character Sam Gamgee in LOTR. I enjoy good food, good company, and spending time in my garden. #booksky

No matter how much I try to stay out of politics on this I am scared right now. I have a two year old in need of another heart surgery and now our supplemental insurance may dry up. Anybody know how to save 50k in about three months? Our government has failed its citizens.

Gosh darn negativity bias! I had a wonderful holiday to see my nephews graduation. A single interaction at the end of the trip has stolen all joy I felt from the trip. I keep dwelling on it and it ruined everything. Please folks, just try to be kind. It really is important, especially in dark time

I still haven't watched the new #zootopia2 trailer but I am excited for this film. I absolutely loved the message of the first film and Judy Hops became one of my animated heroes after the first one. I hope the second one does it justice.

I've got this idea for a book that I would love to write, the problem is the scope is so dang big I do not know if I could do it justice. I looked up my plot to see if it had been done before and I can't find a book with my current ideas that is not a horror book. It is gonna be pretty cool.
