Heading out to Estes Park, CO. In the morning. I’ll be several drinks deep at my favorite mountain bar at this time tomorrow. You’d think I’d get burned out going every year for the last 19 years, but it’s nice to be somewhere familiar that you love this much.

Consistently eating healthy for a while now and it’s completely changed my perception of food. I just feel incredible. Eating to feel a certain way instead of just eating what sounds good in the moment. Eating that way because I want to, not because I have to.

I know a lot of people are going to complain about The Boys finale, but this was a show built on superhero orgies and shoving explosives up peoples asses. A dude was fucking an octopus for a large amount of time. It was about the journey.

I’ve been lifting weights 6 days a week, increasing weight every time. I’m reaching the point where exhaustion is starting to set in so I think I’ll be cutting back to 3/4 days a week for the time being. Have to remember that this isn’t a race, it’s a way of life.

Been feeling really fucking good since I’ve brought my weight down and pushing heavy weight in the gym. Now I’m cleaning up my diet and actually eating healthy. The difference it’s made cannot be overstated. Best I’ve felt since my early 20’s.

The new concert function in Apple Music is a game changer. Seeing all the upcoming shows in my area in one spot and any concerts going on today is pretty fucking awesome.

People who can’t deal with daylight savings time just don’t know how to prepare. You’ve known this was coming forever. All you have to do is start waking up 5-10 minutes earlier for a few weeks and ease into it. You don’t have to take the whole hour at once people.

Why are TV season so short now? They all last a few episodes. Feel like Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms barely got through introducing the characters and now we’re going to have to wait what, 3-5 years for the next season.

I decided I was sick of listening to subpar music and wanted to improve my experience. Looked into some DAP’s and other products but decided to start cheap. Went with the apple headphone dongle and a decent pair of over the ear headphones and damn, the improvement is insane.

How did my body forget how to walk in just a month and a half? I’m off the crutches, no pain, but can’t stop walking with this limp. It’s so crazy. My brain is telling my body to walk normal and it just won’t.

Nothing more depressing than coming to the end of a good show. Missed Mad Men the first time around and it’s kept me company the last couple of months. I don’t know that they stuck the landing, but what an amazing show. I’m really going to miss it.

Finally back on my feet and ready to drop this extra weight. I weighed in 10 lbs. lighter than I expected and that’s huge motivation from the start. Getting in summer shape is going to be light work.

Made out okay this Christmas. Got a floating Lions helmet lamp, a custom Lions Funko Pop of myself, signed Jared Goff jersey, and a disc golf basket and a couple of discs for the back yard (if I can ever walk again). Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 #OnePride

Playoff picture is getting clearer and the cream is starting to rise to the top. Next Sunday is going to be huge (Lions/Eagles, Seahawks/Rams, Bucs/Bills) Strap in #OnePride  and enjoy the ride.

GAMEDAY!! We are obviously the better team here. Points scored, points allowed, sacks, interceptions all heavily favor the Lions. Commanders have a very slight edge in rushing and TOP, but it’s almost a wash. We shouldn’t even break a sweat in this one. #OnePride

They came into our house when we were decimated with injuries and put it to us. I know this isn’t the playoffs but these assholes are going to get a taste of what that feels like this Sunday. No excuses/ NO MERCY!!!! #OnePride

Grand Hazelnut Reserve 13.5% Holy shit, this one is up there with the best releases of this year. Smooth, creamy chocolate hits HARD, then the hazelnut comes in light to give it a little tang to the finish. Pure heaven 9.5/10

The MVP Trail is by far the best disc I’ve ever thrown. Crazy ability to hold a line while also giving you insane control to hit any shot or shape you need. It even putts like it’s on a rope. Haven’t had a chance to unleash it for distance, but man am I impressed.

Cheesecake Marty 14.9% 👀 Not Prairies best offering. The ingredients list “cheesecake and natural flavors” and it shows. Tastes very artificial. Still a very good stout that I’d put up against most other breweries, just not up to Prairie’s standards. 7/10
