Procrastination
This is me writing a post, probably about nothing, because I’ve been putting off blogging since earlier this year. I don’t know why I avoid doing things that I know will make me happy(ier). It’s a very bad habit that despite being fully aware of I still do. When I’m not actively thinking about something…

On Grief
Grief is such an odd thing. My mom died a few months ago. I’ve struggled with her death quite a bit. For the last several years I was her care giver, driver, going out buddy, etc. I would see her at least daily and sometimes multiple times a day and going from that to her…

January Complete
Going back over the goals I set in this post and I’m already behind where I’d like to be. I’m happy with the goals that I’ve been doing but I need to do more. Running has found its way back into my life more this year. A few years ago I decided I wanted to…

Consistency
I struggle with being consistent. I get really excited about something new, dive into that thing for a few days/weeks and then it falls by the wayside. I know this about myself and it frustrates me immensely but even knowing it I do that I continue to do it. How do I break that cycle?…

WordPress
I’ve used WordPress for years on my own servers. I moved this site over to wordpress.com thinking it would be easier. I can’t stand the backend and it’s always getting in the way when I want to write something. I had my settings the way I like them on my own server and I’m not…

Succession
I now understand the people who didn’t get into shows I was super into like The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood, etc. I get the significance of Succession and I’ve watched every episode, except the series finale, but I just haven’t been able to get into it. The characters feel so … predictable. I did…

What To Write Here?
I don’t know what to do with this blog. I haven’t written here in quite a while but I am writing, almost every day, in other spaces. What do I write here? Maybe I could turn this into a tech/IT-type thing? or maybe a camping/Overlanding thing? I don’t know. I do know that I don’t…

New Home, Same Lack of Posting
Today I moved all my hosted services off Linode servers. Last March Linode was bought by Akamai. I’ve been putting off moving because I was holding out hope that Linode would continue to be a standalone company but last month Akamai announce the Linode brand was being retired. Still, I held off on moving mostly…

Investing?!
For years I’ve tried to get interested in investing money, the stock market, etc but I just haven’t been able to keep my brain on track. That’s changed recently and now I get very excited at the possibilities in front of me. I met with a financial advisor this week and laid out my ideal…
Got any book recommendations?
