Major acceleration of the speed of life. I figured it was a symptom of a midlife crisis and technology.

Cheers dudes. Any of y’all every heard about 75 hard? Almost got down and started today until I realized it wasn’t just pick 5 things to do every day for 75 days and you actually had to quit booze and workout 45 minutes a day I think twice it says. Lol yeah right. Might just make up my own version.

Never heard of it. Is it some TikTok shit?

I worked out for like 60 days straight- at least 30 mins cardio and lifted like 4-5 times week, BJJ 1-3 times

 

Then I got completely crippled by allergies this week - missed fucking work days etc.

 

Cali is having a super bloom this year because of all the 2022 El Nino vibes.

I've heard of the 75 hard but fuck all that noise.. was thinking about doing a 60 day thing tho.. I don't have any gym membership but I got a list of some home routines I could bust out every day for the full 60 at least to get the ball rolling.. just gotta actually pick a day to start but with how much I run around at work it's like fuck it there's my cardio for the day then when I get home it's just weed and chill.. 🤷🏽‍♂️

seems like a solid plan though. I might flex on a 60 day thing too. Still fuck not drinking though. 

 

@LUGR not a Tik tok thing to my knowledge. Heard it on this super bro contractor podcast I listen to called “The Contractor Fight”. Dudes like a ex marine hardcore business type guy who’s always shouting and telling people to stop being pussies and get after it. Very inspiring at least to me. I throw it on and just get jazzed up to not suck at running a business and it actually helps lol.

@nicklesndimespaint thinner and mineral spirits are basically the same thing. One is a more concentrated version. I can't remember now. The one that stanks more is the stronger version. I also don't think youre gonna have much luck on unclogging those caps. I feel like getting a can of carb cleaner and connecting the straw to the clogged cap might work with some added pressure.

Yeah! @SchnitzelJust because you're a jobless bum doesn't mean you're not an A+ dad, so turn that land down under frown upside down.

 

Seriously tho I walked away form work several years ago and never went back, just stopped giving a fuck.  Work is vastly overrated and bad for your health.  One of the more interesting points is that as soon as you don't work you start to lose worth in the eyes of others, they act like something is wrong with you, they become judgmental.  It's a fascinating and shitty phenomenon.  

 

Anyway, don't get down about this shit.  You've hopefully gained some extra time with your kids that you would have otherwise missed and can never get back again when they're older, more mature, and corrupted by the world.

Even though I am the same in having left the rat race behind I have been lucky enough to have no debts and good budgeting skills that facilitate me affording to exist on welfare, albeit I do still wish to work if only for the social aspect of it as opposed to the monetary side of things. I have done a few jobs in the past few years but in accepting lower than half of what I should be paid for based on my experience, qualifications and such leads me to realise that having to spend 2 hours a week searching for work to meet my welfare requirements with the rest free for me to spend as I choose to be an easy way to live as opposed to getting up early every day to commute to work to have someone pretend they are my boss to whom I owe the world in their little egocentric powertrip.

 

Unlike Schnitzel though, I have no dependents, and coupled with no debt or financial obligations other than my phone bill, rent and groceries, I manage quite well yet would have zero capacity to do so if I had a kid, which would see me working whatever shit scrubbing janitor position I needed to perform in order to give my kid the greatest existence possible as my happiness would be directly derived from seeing them experience the greatest life possible as opposed to worrying about whatever it was that personally bothered me.

 

Another additional benefit is I moved back in with my Mother and got to spend time with her as an adult, which even though she refused to really conversate with me, at least I was able to afford her the opportunity to really learn who her Son had become as a Man which is something that would have plagued my conscious given I ignored my relationship to her as I forged my career, travelled, got married and fulfilled my other selfish desires for a decade as I refused to be in proximity to a woman who poisoned me with cancerous cigarette smoke for the first 20 years of my life.

 

Also is One Man Banned = LENS from back in the day?

 

An additonal benefit of walking away from the rat race is it allowed me to escape the trap of materialist consumerism I had exhausted my desire to obtain finance to procure. Even though I still have a wardrobe full of designer clothes and shoes, going forward I will be content with my $8 Kmart tshirts as being my way of saying to the world how pathetic these Gucci wearing rappers you see online truly are given they have yet to mentally evolve past the point I was at a decade ago, which is doubly funny when you see them "flexing their (slave) chains" as though they are successful at anything other than being duped by the system and society.

thought I remembered correctly. Carry on.

 

In other news I have a 4 day course as a pre-job screening training/interview type of thing I have to wake up at 7-30 (about 7 hours from now) for. I have been getting up at 1pm each day as it has been too cold to get out of bed earlier. Wish me luck.

Good luck. Don't make any mention of the matrix world and you should be good.

I wish I had read this post earlier as it is too late for that hahaha.

 

I had a couple Redbulls which made me a bit hyper, but I think I made a positive impression and conveyed my ability to empathise and my experience in a similar role.

 

Either way, I am just grateful to be in a different environment for a few days around people whose situation is similar to mine as it is a reminder that I deal with life's struggles in a less stressful way than others.

Did anyone ever think what would happen if you snorted the red pill and the blue pill at the same time. I think I'm dealing with one of them right now. Hit me up at 530 in the morning asking me if the paint was on a particular job that we've already finished. Unacceptable. 

 

These people have too much access to me.

 

I recently started subcontracting work for a guy who owns his own plumbing business. I just found out he plays a few different characters for his business. He is the owner Antwon. He is the lead plumber Big Mark. And he is also some times the estimator Charles. He is playing a crazy fucking game of always being able to shift the blame of why the job is getting so expensive off on "the man" when he shows up as Big Mark. No one has direct access to him as Antwon the owner. Nobody really cares to bother Charles the office worker. The shits kind of brilliant.
