#33 - Boom Boom Boom

What’s up people,

It’s Thursday and I’m feeling decent. I really want to grow my hair out long. I’ve always struggled in the patience aspect of it. I’d have it by now if I was not so crazy. Anyway, I think it’s cool to try out new looks regarding our hair, beard, mustache, etc.

For example, last year I shaved my head bald. It was awesome honestly and I’d definitely do it again. My head is sort of shaved at the moment, but I enjoy it that way as well. I’ve never had my hair really long so I’m interested to see if I can push past my own patience level.

Nothing crazy is happening in my life at the moment; I am trying to keep it low key. I tried to make some music yesterday with my friend Spencer and honestly it was hard. I had nothing prepared so technically we were free-styling, and it was fun, but I can see how it can be stressful. It definitely was not pretty on my end, but my Spencer Bean actually made a song.

At the end of the day, it’s fun to kick it with your friends and make music. Writing has been taking up a small chunk of my time at the moment and I’m cool with it. Sometimes I can put too much pressure on myself to do these things, writing, music, guitar, etc but that is what makes me do them. It can be a blessing and a curse. I definitely do want to overload because then I’ll struggle with all of them. Priorities definitely need to be in order as far as the arts go.

For example, me making music yesterday, I put so much pressure on myself to make a hit song that it seemed to hinder me from being open and fluid. Now, it’s hard to find that rhythm, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve experienced that flow state before in Jiu-Jitsu, so I know it exists.

Anyway, it’s cool and I’m looking forward to doing it again. Something else going forward is I’m looking to change up my physical training.

I’ve been training like a bodybuilder recently, and I love lifting weights, but I feel I need to change my approach to more athletic training. I’m not trying to be jacked, but I’m thinking I’ll lift heavy maybe once or twice a week then do more functional training the rest of the days.

Nutrition has been huge for me lately, I feel pretty good overall, I eat like crap here and there but for the most part I’m doing decent.

I do miss Colorado and looking forward to traveling more in the future. Like I’ve said before, I have some things I need to take care of, but, in due time.

I have shut my iPhone off and put it away in a drawer. I’m going to see how long I can go without it. I also put my headphones in the same drawer to experiment and hopefully push past my limits as far as the technology goes. I am looking to get a laptop which can cover all my basics including email, bank stuff, etc.

That’s enough from me today. I appreciate you all for reading. Take care and have a great weekend.
