Heading West...

I’m prickly.

Heading out west is the best. If you ever want to get lost in a foreign place, go to the desert in California. Or even in the coastal towns on the Pacific. As a kid, I always wanted to go out west, so my Dad took myself and my older brother out to California. Such an awesome road trip where I got crushed beneath the giant crashing waves.

A few years later, we all road-tripped as a family and hit up California again. We got to see the stars on the walk of fame in Hollywood and put our hands in the imprints of the famous people who came before us. It was all so fun and memorable.

Last year, when my wife was 6 months pregnant, we went to San Diego and then checked out the classic Hollywood feel of Palm Springs. We did a few day hikes in Joshua Tree Park, and it felt great to wander around and get lost.

Time and time again, something keeps bringing me back to the West Coast. There is so much to do out there and explore. I don’t think I will ever move out there, but to be able to get lost in such a different world is amazing. I have a fond appreciation to the chill vibes out there and the numerous National parks to keep me occupied. If you haven’t gone out west yet, definitely give it a try. If you want a travel partner, let me know. I want to go back again soon.

P.S. Wander and get lost anywhere you go. It is fun to just be someplace without an agenda.

Pay the Troll

Pay the Toll

until the troll is full.

Distraction,

Procrastination

is your final destination.

The procrastination troll is running rampant these days. Everyday, I feel like I never have enough time to get stuff done. I always feel like I wait til the last minute to get things done. Whether it is yard work, doing laundry, balancing the bank accounts, reading a new book, or learning a new recipe the list goes on and on and on. However, I always have time to scroll through social media, or watch 15 episodes of Netflix. It’s comical how we put ourselves in these positions, and complain we never have enough time.

The troll is always lurking in your mind, waiting to ask for his toll to allow us to continue working. he distracts us with so many flashy, fun things to do besides our task at hand. He makes us feel good for a split second as our mind wanders through the day.

The time is now to break his toll bridge and continue our path to greatness. Enough is enough, no more scrolling through hours of mindless streaming or social media screening. Imagine if, instead of saying we will finish it later, we actually just did it. Then we would never have the troll delaying our tasks for years on end. Imagine if, instead of scrolling through social media for 3 hours a day, we started learning a new language. I would probably be fluent in 4 languages by now. Procrastination is the worst and I am going to combat it as best I can, maybe I’ll even start by doing it, tomorrow… hahah I’m kidding.

Don’t let the troll control your life.

Stay awesome!

Do great things today.
