I can't go to Jiu Jitsu because of the Coronavirus. These are privileged problems, but it's how I manage the demons. My quarantine workouts are getting more and more ridiculous and I think one of them made my back explode.

What's Up Mic - Whats Up Mic #14 - Coronavirus Confrontation
play

04/14/20 • 22 min

Plenty of people around us are still struggling with the basic social distancing guidelines. I had two confrontations with the worst version of those people this weekend. I'm a bit of a hypocrite too though. I'm struggling with people who react with fear to the point where they lose capacity for basic adult behavior. There are definitely some positive notes shining through the assholes and weirdos though.

Freaking out because kids are home and we are cooped up and everyone is on edge.

Business looks like shit, but these loans are interesting.

Looking for shit to do. I think about my house as my world zoomed in. When I would normally drive across town for work I walk across the room. My version of “getting out” is going for a drive or going for a walk in the back yard.

I’m enjoying driving the old car again.

What's Up Mic - Whats Up Mic #4 - Good Judgement
play

03/31/20 • 21 min

Good Judgement is sometimes more rare than we'd like. In a conversation with a high school teacher friend of mine recently he mentioned that consistent good judgement is the most difficult thing to teach a teenager. The Army has a system for it that can be repurposed pretty well to build yourself a framework.

This lockdown has me going back to my roots of the weird cooped up hobbies I had on combat deployments. I talk through what a few of those were and why, and get into what the new venture is. Have you ever wanted to travel where ever you want and have it always be free? I have a plan.
