Progress on drives and finishing. Need to work on shooting touch. Haven’t done any Tony Parker like practicing with the floater yet.
Basically don’t hold stuff in, express myself, eliminate self-consciousness and worrying what people will think about me. The world’s most important opinion belongs to me.
I’m tired of being a passive “nice guy,” letting people walk all over me and building up resentment inside because of it. This goal is about speaking up for myself and well, not letting people walk over me.
It’s about not shying away from conflict because it’s uncomfortable. I’m the one who ends up suffering when I don’t speak up for myself.
It’s time to start acting like a man and walking the walk.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Build on my construction skills and increase my confidence.
Get a pick up truck.
Get a ladder rack.
Get a chain saw.
Get some more tools.
Work a lot until I can afford to live on my own and pay off my credit card debt.
Date attractive women. Eventually find one who I love and marry her. Have some children. Take care and raise them up well.
That’s pretty much the gist of it.
Plan B)
Get out of debt. Travel the U.S. and hike and explore national parks until I’ve had enough of that. Perhaps travel to other countries.
Back toward working toward career satisfaction and financial independence! If I can find love along the way great.
I supposes I need to either get a raise at work (and get more hours in) or take on a 2nd job and possible find a new primary job, depending on how the construction industry does.
I could try to work for myself doing cleaning and odd jobs on the side for extra cash. I could apply to work at Lowe’s. I could go back into education and try to teach middle school or something, yikes.
I’m a bit frustrated with it at the moment and I seem to be pouring a good bit of time and energy into it without much to show for it. I need to focus more on my career other aspects of my life, realistically.
So basically, let’s say I’ll see if any of the women I’m currently messaging want to meet with me, and otherwise not use the site for a month or more.
I had some coffee over the weekend and a coke for lunch Friday. Otherwise I’ve been drinking some decaffeinated tea in the mornings, occasionally with a bit of honey. Overall I’d say I’m making progress.
I’ve done a few new ones:
A couscous salad thing that tasted horrible
2 new kinds of chili (mixed results)
A Mediterranean Chicken recipe that was pretty good.
Need to do this more regularly. I’m grateful I didn’t get into a wreck today—I had a very close call on the interstate.
It is still sore. I think if it’s not markedly better in one week, By December 10th, I should bite the bullet and get an X-Ray.
I might need for my ankle to heal before I do this. I’m noticing I my back getting really tired if I stand for extended periods of time after work, I think it might be ankle related because it didn’t happen to me prior to my sprain.
