Comic book day.

Just a couple more sleeps and we are off to a new Con.

Last night we bought tickets to the first WV Food Truck rodeo. We're looking forward to that. It's the same day we have tickets to some MMA fights in Beckley later that night so it will be a full day for us.

Yummy dinner.

Lucha!!!!

Disappointing evening.

2016 89

Another day to start.

Not in a very good frame of mind today.

Could only make it through 20 minutes of Body Combat because of my shoulder. Very disheartening with as difficult as it is for me to motivate.

Pens win in a shootout. Go Pens!!

2016 88

272.4 is the number to remember in this weeks experiment.

Monday.

Small town politics and small minded ass kissery neither interest me in the least. Unfortunately I am exposed to one or both constantly at me job. Sigh.

Dancing with the Stars. Workout was good painful but good.

2016 87

Are we weird that at 8.30 on a Sunday morning we are catching up on some MMA? We are anyway.

Caught Superman vs Batman. It was entertaining. I'll probably get the DVD.

Pens won in overtime tonite which is good with 2 weeks left in the season and a game in hand over the team ahead of them in the standings.

2016 86

Lazy morning. Watched Kingsmen.

Went out for lunch. Chef Teri got a new doo and we went for a walk down at Brush Creek Falls.

Recorded two podcasts today and on the way to posting five.

2016 85

Friday.

I am very excited to see an end to this last election cycle for the President. It has shown all the weakest character elements of our country.

Looks like the dinner place for our Greenville con trip next weekend has been selected. Good news for Chef Teri as she likes to think out and plan these things.

Strength routine went ok. I rushed through faster and in the process tweaked my back. Yay!

Finally caught up on this weeks Lucha Underground.Aztec Warfare II and the return of Dario Cueto plus a new champ.

Tried to watch the first Inside MMA with Mauro Renallo but it was on too damn late.

2016 84

Home for a satellite tech appointment. between 8 and 12 noon, no between 12 and 1 uh uh between 1 and 1.30. Arrived at like 1.28.

When he left it was working but I think we'll look at alternatives and have those options open the next time it messes up (not weather related) as it has pretty consistently for the last 8-9 months now.

I really need to get a hold of all the negativity I am carrying around because it has really started to (maybe longer) started to affect mine and Chef Teri's relationship. She most certainly deserves far better than I have been doing of late.

Finally got our first batch of comics out, this one going to Lone Star Comics in Texas for in store credit. Over 270 bucks with a real profit of around 200 after shipping to get the books to them. We also have a list on social media that there has been absolutely no movement on and gave a box free to our LCS. I think the next step is more social media and perhaps ebay listings not really sure what exactly Chef Teri wants to do as she has taken lead on getting rid of the books. I can bring them into the house with abandon so that's what I focus on.

Recorded a Bronze Age last night so I now need to get that up and out quickly.

2016 83

New comic book day.

Workout day off.

2016 82

Not really looking forward to our meeting with our personal trainer today. Just seems pointless at this point just slightly less than the encouragement call from the rep in Morgantown we had last night.

They do what they can but neither Teri nor I seem to fit into any kind of norm anyone is familiar with and so they are of no help over all.

Two months and I will seriously sit down and see how I feel about all this.

Some measures up some down, seems to be the abridged history of my current 10 month old weight lose journey. Won't know my new routine until I get it by email, looks like some leg work will be included.

Watched the first episode of the new season of Dancing with the Stars. It was ok I guess.

2016 81

Monday. 9.5 to 10 hours at work. Lift weights. Ra Ra coach call from PEIA. Satelite fuckin up this morning and my phone hosed up as well.

Lotsa potential today.

A couple of newer problems to brainstorm here at work. Busy for about an hour then the same ole.

Dancing with the Stars tonite which means a new podcast back on the schedule.

Ahh satellite dish out no TV until Thursday between 8a and 12. Guess I'll take the day off because Chef Teri has a full slate already.

Damn my wife can make some chili, yummo!!

2016 80

Finished up tidying up our comic book collection. Ugh way more work than I wanted to get into but it's done.

Watched some gymnastics and track and filed competitions today, different but cool.

Stuffed peppers and polenta for dinner. Yummo.

Pens won.

2016 79

Up way too early after a completely unfulfilling night of pseudo sleep.

Sorting comics today. We finalized our want lists.Now we have sorted and pulled books we no longer want to keep and are trying to figure out what to do with them. Three long boxes worth.

Facebook, E-bay, LCS and Lone Star Comics will all be part of our 'get something for nothing' comic dispensing strategy.

2016 78

Friday.

Payday.

Birthday!! (swag included)
    Emails - 3
    Facebook - 88
    Text - 1
     Phone call - 1


Dinner was disappointing not because the food was bad but rather because my expectations were not met. My fault not theirs. The company however was outstanding and by far the high point of the date.

New Japan Wrestling on the tube and The Legend of Wonder Woman in the eyes.

2016 77

work.

workout - ok

dinner - yummy

Pens - win

podcast - recorded successfully

2016 76

Comic book day.

Break from workouts today.

Much better day mentally for me today. I still wonder if some of the things I experience mentally are indicative or should have been as to what Mike goes through and by extension will Nick?

Lucha Underground had a better show than the past several weeks. Phenix/Mil Muertes was extreme and I certainly didn't see Pheniz winning it.

2016 75

Blah.

I really did a job today proving despite anything I may say just what kind of ass I can truly be. I'm sorry.

Did get a podcast recorded and that lifted my spirits quite a bit.

2016 74

Monday.

Starting off the day with the latest episode of Rutten and Renallo. Good positive podcast from probably my two favorite guys connected to MMA.

This election cycle is going to be a horrible example of either not voting for one candidate or voting for the lesser of many evils. No clear choice as to anyone that truly deserves to lead this country.

Gym time for the first time since last Tuesday. It was rough but I got through it well enough.

Quesadilla burgers FTW!

2016 73

Lazy restful Sunday.

UFC PPV catchup.

Spectre, James Bond movie.

Pens, win!

Prep for Monday.

2016 72

Open the day with UFC PPV 196.

I'm not sure I will be able to understand why our world has become so polarized while I personally have become more centric. So often in the public forum if you disagree it's because you are a hate monger or a bigot or both. The tendency to use labels or categorize people in my opinion is an attempt by people to simplify their worldview by being able to dismiss those labels they don't agree with. I don't like labels I try to use and speak facts.

Exclusionary verbiage is also a current sore spot with me. Marginalized people feel that by dropping in adjectives that describe their worldview they will gain the attention of those like minded. Instead they show that their thoughts are intended for those of like ilk at the exclusion of all others. I constantly see queer this, black that, girl the other and I can't help but think they don't want me looking a caucasian, christian, cis-male.

There seems to be sore lack of moderation in the world today and it turns my stomach. I find myself wanting to scream to the world to just chill the fuck out.

Bought some new hiking boots and socks and tried it all out. Three miles today and another .6 this Past Thursday.

2016 71

I believe I hit a new hi this morning. I determined I was looking forward to working out after work even less then I look forward to work. At least I know how to rank the things that take up the largest part of my waking life in terms of enjoyment. I'm sure that will come in handy at some point.

Now Bec is trying to get Levi or I to fix a bad situation she set up with some country fuck neighbor of mom and dad's, a storage building and no money. Nope not my rodeo.

Japanese, sushi and MMA to finish up the week. Now I'm in the mood and will probably watch more MMA.

2016 70

Dude my ankle is killing me today. Reminds me of the gout pain I've had. Sure hope that's not the case.

Ankle finally stopped hurting.

We went to Camp Creek State Park to hike a little bit but wound up only getting in .62 miles because they still had many of their seasonal gates locked and we ended up getting creek blocked one the one route we did try.

Not wanting to go home I decided to check for any nearby geocaches. We logged 9 with 1 FTF.

Nice dinner afterwards.

No 10.0 recording tonite only took 3 bi-weekly shows for Chris to not have time. Hopefully next week.

2016 69

Comic book day.

Quarterly Dr visit. Up 4 lbs, that's nice to hear.

Tried a blood orange today. Different but pretty good.

No workout wanted to engage in alternative exercises, unfortunately only accounted for approximately 100 calories burned.

Lucha Underground tonite and no podcasting.

2016 68

Nice bullshit runaround by the County Commission this morning.

May be spending too much time on Twitter. I seem to stay pissed off at it a lot.

I'm tired of being at work 5 days a week 9-10 hours a day. There has got to be something better to life then to spend so much of it this way. What a waste of human life this kinda shit is.

Body Combat night.

Salad and a Pens loss to finish up the evening.

2016 67

Monday.

Work was usual.

New strength routine is a damn killer.

Fish tacos were yummy.

Comic book catchup, my reading funk is over for the moment.

2016 66

Nice restful night last night.

Up like normal.

Catching some weird shows on Del Rey.

Now moving to season 2 of our X-Files watch/re-watch.

2016 65

Up early and breakfast at a cool place called Doodles.

Mom is looking good, as good as she has in a while.

Dad is ok still putting more energy into what he wants and doesn't have than anything else.

Lunch at Pete's Wok.

Tense drive back home because of weather but we got it done.

2016 64

Looks like we will be running over to Lexington tonite.

Blah day at work.

No workout which leaves me thinking good and bad. Bad because we are slacking while we still have not reached our goal and good because we can do or not do whenever we want to.

Nice easy drive to Lexington tonite.

2016 63

Near as I can tell I passed 2k pushups or 20% of my year's goal Monday. Kinda disappointed with it actually. I would think over time it would get easier and it has from when I first started but now they feel the same every day. No easier.

Body Combat was good tonite.

2016 62

Comic book day.

Things look pretty much set up for us to travel 4 hours to my sister's to visit mom and dad. After her amputation mom seems to be doing well physically. My concern will be for her and dad's mental health. Dad is already depressed about the moving thing and now with his wife in the state she is in.

Found a new, to me, comic company that had all their books free to download. Curious to see what they are like.

No workout, not feeling up to it. I think I may have finally hit the wall as far as motivation for this shit is concerned.

Lucha Underground tonite, yes!

2016 61

Work day, yay.

Body Combat for 55 minutes was needed but painful. My shoulder is really starting to concern me. Not a constant pain but certainly constant 'something ain't right' with bouts of painful exercise.

Pens lost.

Bed.
