My Life As A Horseman : Day 1

Thursday 7.27.17 6:45pm I can’t decide if I want to start with the drive or the motel. I guess the motel. I feel homesick. I am in a dark box with a TV from the 80s and a microwave from the 70s. I paid $5 extra/night for this microwave. The desert drive through Arizona was …

Daily Routines

A friend asked me the other day if I could say something positive. I thought really hard and then determined I couldn’t. I can’t see how it’s my job to fix my reaction to the incompetence of the world when no one who is responsible for my anger is doing anything about it. Why am …

Why I Haven’t Written in so Long

It’s been a while since my last post. I was on a roll with the 500 Words a Day and then straight into the Whole30 blog that hit the big time with Melissa. But since then, nada. And it’s because I’m fucking tired. We have been working an ungodly amount in the last few months. …

Whole30 Day 29 : Get Ready to Say Goodbye My Friends

9:13 a.m. I pooped so hard I wanted to grab it out of the toilet and use it to start building condos. Maybe one of those Pencils of Promise projects in Ecuador or something. Breakfast was as quick as it was small. Have to get out of the house and make my follow-up meeting at …
