Just some ramblings.

My thoughts after having an epiphany during a Headspace creative writing meditation.

Day one of writing my novel. Little bit free write. Little bit to do list. Little bit origin story.

They were beating me over the head on 10-11-19

It was an adventure of the mind. A first for me but I'm pretty sure not the last.

Good day

Down day

I may be over the part of myself that wanted to talk so much. I feel like I'm transitioning into a doer.

I tell a super embarrassing, but real story. It's an exercise in being fearless.

Another commute another personal story

I settle on soul searching

Yeah this one's a trainwreck haha

I think I had a little LOA breakthrough during one of my audio diary entries.

.

Talked through some shit this time

I talk about racism and our souls

Just drivin to work and talking about 9/11

Where I had a bout of negativity and talked my way through it.

A free flow of word vomit

Where I reflect on the days creative hour.

Podcast Time Stamps: 0:00 to 11:32- 1st part of creative hour, ended up being a weird recorded comentary of a youtube live video that sort of started on togetherness and getting along and ended with Tom Macdonald and Lord Jamar. Yeah, no clue. 11:33-34:21 2nd part of creative hour, I started by explaining how my experiment has evolved and then took…

Needed to give the old bruised ego a reality check.

Where I discuss the Happy Wheels game and school my son in some kah-rah-tay.

I reflect on the first day of my high writing experiment. Also I answer a reddit comment.

More conversations with myself.

Yeah, that was a strange journey

Just reflecting on a bunch of stuff while I have a bunch of time with my thoughts.

Some reflection on my earlier awakened experience.

I recently stumbled upon the Hit Record project created by Joseph Gordon Levitt and his brother. I thought it was such an amazing idea I decided to join it and contribute to the very first project I saw. This is the result of that. Link to the project I contributed to: https://hitrecord.org/challenges/3877604…

I finally found out about HitRecord.org. I think I'm going to have fun.

Realizing I'm really a dick to myself sometimes.

Be who you are shamelessly. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about who you are.

An experiment that I think worked out.

Thoughts on San Francisco changing what they call convicts because it casts a negative light.

Forgive the long pause in the beginning I was organizing my thoughts :)

I was listening to Ego Death by Quadeca and the lyrics got me thinking and reminded me of something I read on reddit the day before. Here is link to a Key and Peele Luthor sketch https://youtu.be/F3gIYgSa4qw.

Probably add more here later

Meditation. Meditation is simply practicing being in the moment. I realized I could do it anywhere. I didn't have to sit cross-legged and face east while focusing on the tip of my nose and my breathing. All I really have to do is be in the present moment as much as possible while I am doing any given thing. Lately I've been entering sort of meditat…
