So, I came close to making things in life a bit more difficult for myself. Again. See, in my constant quest to balance my dopamine levels (something my doctor has said is a bit tougher for me than for others) I frequently band wagon onto whatever sounds good in the moment. Bored? Try archery! Buy … Continue reading

Where the hell…
I’m wondering where something went to. Perhaps it is a marker of age, and perhaps everyone reaches this point at one time or another. But I’m wondering where it went. First off, my sense of security is all sorts of lost. I have given up on finding it anytime soon, kind of like when I … Continue reading
Powering through
How do you make the noise of life a little bit quieter? Why, steal ideas form other people of course! Continue reading
Not another C-19 post…promise
Well, what to write about, what to write about… To get this out of the way- yep, life trying to avoid the Corona virus is kind of upside down for everyone, and I keep swinging from intense anxiety to feeling oh-so-slightly less anxious. So good times, really. Anyways, that’s not what I really want to … Continue reading
Stop whining, you are getting old
I recently had a(nother) birthday, and like many people my age I had a serious reflective moment and reality check. One in which I was honest with myself, and saw my future spread before me in a cascade of images, all of which pointed to the same reality… I am on the downhill slope to … Continue reading

The contrasts between living on the water (salt water, thank you very … Continue reading

I will read about it, dream about it, talk endlessly to my family about it. They really love that part. It also has some challenges. If something isn’t interesting, if … Continue reading
How To Bust Through The Choke Point Dilemma: Freak Out About Something
I have an awesome post on toxic masculinity and our current cultural and societal shift. I have been working on it for months. Whenever the last blog post was, that is how long I have been writing, mulling the topic over, rewriting, talking with friends and family, starting over, etc. And I have discovered a … Continue reading
Love and Football
I write a lot here about personal development, fatherhood, martial arts, fatherhood, Wim Hof, and sometimes fatherhood. But I am going to deviate a bit here and talk a bit about love. Love and football. I have a good friend, who since we were children has attempted valiantly and in vain to get me interested … Continue reading
Spartan Super highlights. Mud and obstacles, like getting the car out of the mud after the race…
Our first Spartan Super is finished. It is also our first step towards finishing the Spartan Trifecta, which is completing all three basic Spartan races (Sprint, Super, and Beast) in a calendar year. When the Spartan Race series began a few years ago that seemed almost impossible. Now people compete to see how many trifectas … Continue reading
