I read recently something about blogging. It said if you really want people to read what you are writing, then you need to keep it at one, maybe two paragraphs and say something personal. Something that someone reading your blog could relate to. I don't know if anyone is reading this and, honestly, I don't care. Maybe I care a little.
Anyway, I started this 'cause my therapist thought it would be a good idea. She wants me to have an outlet for my thoughts and anxiety and whatnot. Anyway, I thought I would say that if there is anyone reading this, I hope you can relate and maybe take something from it that will enhance your life. Perhaps, you can save yourself some cash by not having to go to a therapist. I tell you what, I got in the wrong business!
I am going through what everyone agrees is a Mid Life Crisis, or, my MLC. I am turning 40 in December and it's really freaking me out. I know 40 isn't old and it's not really mid-life, but it is still freaking me out. A little background.
I am happily married to my wife Jenny. We have been together for 9 years, married for 2 in August. We own our home, Culver City adjacent. We have a rental unit that pays for the property taxes. I own a race car, well drift race car, and honestly it needs about 15k of safety and horsepower upgrades. We have two other cars, one we are paying off. I bought Jenny a truck for her 40th birthday as it was the first time she got to pick out the car she wanted. She chose a 2002 Toyota Tundra V6 XCab.
We had two dogs, now we have one. Bob died on Fathers Day this year of complications from bone cancer in his back leg. We still have Pickle.
<---Pickle.
Anyway, I have been wanting to change some things. I drink a little too much. I don't get enough exercise. My brain won't stop. So I started with therapy. Then meditation and now yoga. I surf, but lately, it's been really hard for me to get up in the mornings. I play a lot of Call Of Duty 4, usually up till 1 or 2 in the morning. I work in the film industry as a driver, although that has been sucky lately due to the writers strike earlier this year, and now the actors.
So, I have a schedule for a yoga class in Santa Monica, I have a mat, I have clothes that will be comfortable to wear and what am I doing right now? I am sitting with a little drink, writing. The class is at 12:30 tomorrow and then various times the rest of the week. I'm going, no matter what. I have started to take Chantix again to help me quit smoking, again. Worked earlier this year and I hope it will work again. Hoping to change a lot of things.
I will quit smoking. I will go to yoga classes. I will meditate. I will stop self medication with alcohol. And I will get up in the morning and go surfing. And I will work again.
