Posting Less

I’ve been reading/thinking/journaling more and trying to post here less (temporarily). This has been good. I started a private Instagram to vlog my daily actions, video some guitar practice/technique, and will eventually add my fitness form/running videos there. This IG is 100% for me only to show progress to myself in a simple way.

Dating

I’m not actively dating anymore and am still off the apps completely. I do have 2 dates this week from old leads…

One yesterday was more of a BF/GF kinda thing. We watched stupid TV and cuddled the whole time. TBH, I’d been craving more of this than just sex or ONS type of shit. It was nice to laugh and take the pressure off of being “the man” or leader all the time. I would do it again, but I want to talk to her first and be upfront that this isn’t going anywhere. Nice to be in that position of not caring about the outcome and being open/upfront/honest (which I already told her I was just looking for sex and cuddles).

Other date today… will be interesting. She’s from Mexico and a traveling guitarist in a rock band. I’ve handled this one in all Spanish to include sending her voice notes. All the Mexican chicks love my accents in English and Spanish HA. She invited me to her place, so this will be my first time going to a chick’s house. She wants to drink beer, play guitar, and listen to music… LOL sounds like she’s lonely and/or wants to fuck. It’ll be good experience either way, and she’s only in town for summer before she returns to Mexico… again, I don’t care about the outcome.

My focus right now is 100% me

Next Car: Tesla Model 3

I rented a Tesla Model 3 for the weekend. I’m going to test drive this car before completely committing to buying one. I’m also gonna get out and go to some big nature parks to take a break from things (maybe camp? maybe not? taking it as it comes instead of totally planning it out). I thought about inviting some friends, but fuck that. I’m going on a hot date with my camera and guitar instead I plan to get my new car post-divorce, quit bartending, and roadtrip over the US. I have some more goals, but I’ll keep those private… basically see more of the world and maybe scope out a new place to live

Work

Working yesterday and today for computer job. Bartending Sunday and Monday. -> Making that $$$ for my next stage in life

Fitness

Gymnastics-wise, I’ve been taking time to practice technique more instead of reps. I started videoing my routine to improve my form, which it has been needing. I’m getting better at doing muscle ups with less momentum and working to be nicer on my joints, especially my shoulders and elbows. Running-wise, I ran 2 miles in under 15 mins (7:27min/mi pace) on Tues… not bad in the heat here. Legs very sore, so of course I ran 2.5 miles yesterday also (but at a slow speed) in the hot heat. Exercise always has been and hopefully will be my drug of choice. I always feel better
