  • Counting Down

    I’ve got a trip to Key West this weekend and I can’t fucking wait! Friday to Monday: booze and sun. I’ll be going with two of my close friends and we’re staying at New Orleans House on Duval Street. It’s an all-male, clothing optional, gay resort. Needless to say, I expect some debauchery this Easter weekend.

    I will most definitely not be working out. I haven’t missed a day yet, and to minimize the number of skipped days, I’m going to do a morning workout Friday and attempt to work out Monday evening after getting back. I don’t see Monday happening, but I’m putting it out into the universe!

    I’m hoping to finish reading Manhunt while poolside. I’ve gotten through a little over 100 pages (1/3 of the book) and I don’t want it to end. However, I have a backlog of novels on my nightstand I want to read, and my next one, A Little Life, is a tome. I wish work gave us 30 minutes of sustained silent reading like they did in high school. All I want is to read more books!

    The Trump thing happened. Finalnd joined NATO. Brazil, China and Saudi Arabia have effectively ended the petro dollar… the beginning of the end of the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and with it, all the perks of being the world’s reserve currency… these are interesting times we are living in.

  • Work Sucks, I Know

    Day three, and so far, so good. The book is taking twists and turns and I’m enjoying it; working out is getting easier. If anything, I’d say I’ve been slacking on the tarot. But I have been reading my cards before bed every night.

    I’m mostly being dragged down mentally by work. It’s frustrating. Working. Working for other people. That’s not to say I want to go into business for myself, just that corporate work culture sucks. And corporations are greedy bastards.

    Nothing new to absolutely anyone, I know. It’s just crazy companies are out here making record profits, and what little gains workers made in wage growth during the post pandemic labor shortage has been eaten away by inflation… caused by corporate greed. We need to get organized; we need to fight.

    I think, soon, we’ll be at that tipping point.

    One can only hope…

  • Day Two

    I did it! This makes two days in a row now that I force myself to read, work out, write, and meditate on the tarot. I’d be lying if I said it was easy, but at least I fucking did it. Surprisingly, writing has been the biggest challenge, and forcing myself not to go back and edit every second is the worst, but I’m getting by.

    I dipped my toes into part two of Manhunt. The sex is… interesting. I’ve never been with a trans person or a woman, so it’s taking me to places I’ve never been, and I’m a more well-rounded person because of it. Go read the book.

    A large amount of my time went into playing Destiny 2 this weekend. I managed to finish the Beyond Light storyline and I’m gonna start The Witch Queen soon. I didn’t have any plans to buy the latest expansion, but it’s on sale right now for $35 so I just might get it if I’m in the mood to treat myself.

    Speaking of treating myself! This coming weekend I’ll be going to Kew West. I’m going with my roommate and another friend of ours. We’ve all been countless times, so it’s no big deal, but it’ll be nice to get away. I love the drive down there. It’s extremely scenic, and since I’m driving from Miami, it doesn’t take too long.
