I accomplished something impressive and perhaps a little foolhardy last week. I fasted from food from Saturday night until Wednesday night. It wasn’t my intention to fast for so long, but I j...

---

Earlier this year, or maybe it was last year, I shared that I was going to learn how to ride a motorcycle this year. I’m not really sure why this desire overtook me. It’s one of those things I...

---

I had an awesome Saturday morning yesterday. I don’t mean as in it was a good day, or even a great one. I had an experience that healed a significant amount of pain I have been carrying around...

---

It seems that ever since I moved back to this town, I have had a money hemorrhage just about every summer. I remember one summer, an irrigation line in my front yard broke. I had a city techni...

---

I must get my April entry in. I made a resolution to type once a month, and I’m not going to abandon it. I injured my left knee a couple of weeks ago, I think. I’m not sure what I did, or e...

---

I need to make good on my New Year’s Resolution. March has blurred by. I turned 43 a couple of weeks ago. As usual, every time my biological odometer rolls over, I am compelled to take invent...

---

I gotta’ lose weight. I keep gaining and gaining and gaining, and not necessarily in a bad way, but too much is too much. A couple of years ago, I injured my right knee, which required surgery...

---

I need to write in here more, and I don’t just mean that from an if-I-have-a-journal-I-should-make-use-of-it mentality. I’ve been storing up and dwelling on lots of thoughts of resentment. My ...

---

I thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, And the day before that, too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. But all that’s left of...

---

Five weeks ago, this from this morning, my Calico walked out her pet door to pass away. The pain initially was like a busted fire hydrant, an unending, high-pressure cascade of grief. After a ...

---

It’s been a full week without my Calico kitty. I just feel so sad. There was a bit of plot twist last night, but not for the better. I spent Friday evening canvasing the rest of my neighborho...

---

I know I haven’t written in here in so long. I keep meaning to, but it so hard just to make myself do it, especially, when my life is so unchanging. However, now I’m in a crisis of sorts, and I...

---

It’s becoming an annual tradition that every summer some cataclysmic event strikes my home and cost me a boat load of money. Two years ago, water started pooling at a spot in my front lawn. I c...

---

I’m falling off the wagon big time. I previously wrote how I overindulged my spending habits last year. I bought two mountain bikes, some rifles, and a gun safe. I still saved a good bit of mo...

---

I turned 41 on Tuesday. At one time I was dumb enough to think age is just a number. That belief has been thoroughly dispelled. I’ve spent the past 6 weeks or so getting over an arm injury. I...

---

[Foreward: click the bolded words for pictures. For my life, I can’t get my Prosebox to display the pictures in the body of the entry] Christmas was sublime. That is to say, it was basically a ...

---

I’m getting stronger! The right arm still hurts, though. I’ve revised my workout routines, not slowly, but still incrementally. I currently perform a Muay Thai shadow boxing workout twice a we...

---

It’s been too long. Nothing significant has happened to me, but it feels like my insides are in a sort of turmoil. I think I’m having a mid-life crisis. Maybe to be more accurate, I’m having a...

---

I have a somewhat positive update on my brother. He’s still alive and not in any immediate danger of harming himself. I may save that topic for my next entry because I desperately need to relie...

---

I’m afraid I don’t have much if good news, if any at all. When I left off on Tuesday night, Lauren and I had a big win in that we convinced David to talk to the police and reconcile with Nate an...

---

My brother tried to commit suicide last week after falling for a crypto-rom scam that fleeced him out of over $1.5 million. Obviously, this entry will be extensive, but I want to document the ev...

---

I’m a fairly spend thrift person, partly because of my inherent personality and partly because of my experiences being unemployed. I stick to a sensible budget that includes treats like eating o...

---

I went back to my childhood home and retrieved that road cycle I ordered. Since I didn’t get a response to my emails or phone calls, I just showed up unannounced around noon that Saturday. I ba...

---

Funny how when you make decision that required much deliberation, life will sometimes pile on top of you. It’s almost like it was waiting for your choice before unleashing a whole bunch of unrel...

---

I haven’t been back to jiu jitsu since my last entry. I took several weeks off thinking my shoulder would heal with some basic R&R. When that didn’t happen, I made an appointment with my lo...
