What Now? IDK

Now where was I… *checks posts* Ah yes, I kinda died.

Dang. That’s a bummer.

Anyway, I have a life to get to living. So what now?

What We’re Working With

’24 has been a stark reminder of how quickly vitality can be taken away. Even if you know when your end might come, you may be incapacitated for what’s left of life.

Plus, I have a new life expectancy. Every calculator that lacks a cardiovascular component says, “yes, you will make it to mid 80s, early 90s, no prob.” Every calculator that tracks heart-stuff: 7 to 16 years 😐 33 if we are feeling generous.

With both activity level and life expectancy on my mind, I have no time. I’m out, fam. It is time to go.

2025

Well, there is work, the day job 🤷‍♂️ Enough said about that.

There is also time to be spent overseas. I have spent quality time with my people here in the US. There is a lot of the world left to see, including many I have met who are important to me, people too I have yet to meet. When does this happen? IDK for sure, but Japan in October? Why not!

Next, get back in touch with the activities that spark joy. Writing, brainstorming, bouldering, running, friends, lazy movie nights, dancing, hiking, competitive team shooting sports, learning… These would be welcome 🙂

Regardless, I can at least start putting some life back into this life.

The Blog

Hey! First post of 2025! First post in months. Other than that, IDK.

That “I don’t know” is such a pain. I feel the blog will be different going forward, but how? Do I write monthly goals? Make them quarterly? Go long-form, or make ’em TLDR? Write less, create more?

I. Don’t. Know.

There is so much happening right now – life is not stable and is in an active shift. This time is full of reaction, full of wait-and-see, full of free time followed by hours of anxiety and rush…

What I can say is is that the blog will be of what I have meant it to be: a place for what interests me. From psychology to story to games to health to money to more, the world is an endlessly fascinating place. I am here to understand and have nifty experiences and insights to share, so share I shall. Beyond that? IDK.

Sound like a plan? Cool – see you on here as I play around with content, format, and schedules. Cheers to your new year ~
