#18 - Twilight Zone

I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to talk about a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu session that I just got done training in. It was awesome. It was intense. Everything is important when it comes to training for something, especially the jits. Focus is everything.

It seems I was able to focus well in that environment because there were no distractions and that can be crucial for a jits training environment. There are different types of focus. For some things, we need to learn how to focus while a lot of extracurriculars are happening around us.

Writing is hard. There are many distractions. I don’t want to write this, but am forcing myself to write. I know I need to do it.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you something that helps me focus through Jiu-Jitsu and that is…

A little THC. Yep, you got that right, a little weed. I hit a little weed pen, as they call it. Just twice and I enter into the twilight zone.

I suggest supplementing it into your life. Almost like you’d take a vitamin every day.

It helps to see things clearly and love people openly. It sheds us of our Earthly ego and we realize just how silly and insecure we are.

We are always judging ourselves and others. We are always comparing ourselves to others. That’s not real. We cannot compare ourselves to other people because logically it doesn’t make sense.

Others have been through extremely different journeys, but also similar as well. It’s a paradox really but it’s beautiful, and by no means because it’s similar is that a reason to compare ourselves. We are human. We fuck up. That’s what we do.

A little THC will help us accept ourselves for our fuck ups but also be optimistic and grateful for everything that we’ve been given. Most importantly, this chance at life.

Parts of this country is getting on board with the whole weed thing. And I say it’s about time. I’m not going to lie. I get a little paranoid down here in New Orleans when I am high. It’s a scary place.

There are criminals lurking the streets and cops put people in jail for having a little weed. You realize you need to get out for a little bit, but you love your family so dearly. It’s not an easy place to live. There are different forces working against each other down here. But somehow it can be beautiful.

I love you all.

All I’m saying is a little bit of weed does the heart good. And we need to start taking notice of that.

Anything can be abused, I’m aware of that, even weed. But Cindy who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, eats Wendy’s six days a week, and drinks coke her whole life shouldn’t have anything to say to Randy who likes to smoke a little weed, train some Jiu Jitsu, then hit the park for some sun, and maybe the library for some books.

Lick my nuts Cindy.

I love you all. Have a great week.
