Action vs Analysis

Almost done with meal prepping for the week. Happy I got that done early in the day. I made 6 meals today and that took me close to two hours. Still waiting on the potatoes to boil but that’s the last part. Going to put 5 mini potatoes in each lunch. Exercised early this morning at 9 and had a nice lift. Today was my pull day so I squatted, deadlifted, and did barbell rows. Happy I did that early also. Got a lot of time to do some stuff today. I went grocery shopping yesterday but I kind of want to go back and pick up some stuff I forgot about. Thinking about walking over there to get some steps in.

I went to dinner with a couple of my friends at a bar last night. We sat right at the bar and had a couple beers while watching college football. It was a lot of fun. I hadn’t seen my one friend in a very long time and he brought up something really cringe that I did in my past and we were both cracking up about it. I actually thought about that earlier this week for the first time in a while and visibly flinched.

We were sitting in my buddy’s basement playing poker. We had been drinking and smoking a lot. This one girl was friends with someone so she came by for a little bit. We were all sitting around the poker table and I think she was looking for a ride. My buddy claims she was just asking where people they lived which makes it all the more cringe but I remember it differently. She was going around the table and eventually got to me. I responded with “I’ll give you a ride.” Not an answer to her question at all. In my inebriated stupor, that made sense to me. We all laughed it off though. Great times.

I’ve noticed that some of my blogs recently have been kind of trash. I’m wondering what I should do about that. I’m a big fan of figuring it out as you go along so getting anything done is better than over analyzing it. Eventually I’ll get to a point where I’m ready to switch up my approach but for right now I’m just going to continue blogging daily. The quality of every blog won’t be great but that’s ok. If I keep plugging away my writing will improve. This a form of practice. I will get to that point I can be more selective about the content and days that I blog but for right now it’s more important that I do something.

I’m also thinking about starting my book. My working title is “Fettuccini Alfredo”. Kind of a play on the idea that if you keep throwing spaghetti at the wall you might run into something brilliant. It’s men (and women fuckfaces) who find the correct balance between action and analysis who produce truly brilliant pieces of art. Right now I’m working on the action part and the analysis will come.
