True Story. A part of my life when I thought social media was gay.

Corporal punishment was not used in my home, at 16 & 13, my children have done well for themselves. The justification that physical correction is needed is wrong. I am not the exception here.

"Do the hard shit first." My son is taking college classes and asked if I thought he should put the core classes at the front or back end of his program. I said, "Do the hard shit first, then it's done, and you can do whatever you want after..." This goes for everything.

I've been off this platform so long it took me a moment to find where DM's went. Then I found 'Requests' Then 'Other' Do not click on 'Other'

I caught myself trying to negotiate against myself today. I had a parent of two athletes ask me about game coverage; I almost told her I'd offer a discounted rate since she was booking two athletes, whereas most only book one at a time. I didn't. I told her my price, and she happily paid 5 min later. I almost offered a 30% discount for no other reason than I felt bad a parent was paying double what most pay. Lesson in there: Get the feelings out of the business, and charge what you're worth. Do not negotiate against yourself.

Since I wrote the tweet about not knowing what to write on here, I've been reading more and now writing more. An observation from a few days on here after a year+ off: Some of my mutuals have grown, and their topics have evolved to new areas of interest, family growth, businesses created, etc. And some are writing about the exact same thing they were writing about when I was active. I'm not saying similar or close to the same topic, but the exact same subject, angle, gripes, etc. It's interesting to see those who stayed in their spot and those who forged into new territories.

My daughter walks out of her room at least once a week looking like…not my daughter. She has always been into makeup, and we’ve always supported her passion and creativity with it. Jackie is a licensed cosmetologist; this evolution with our little lady just made sense… When she started doing SFX makeup, we rolled with it. One day she was an Avatar, another day 1/4 her face was one thing and the rest another… Then there was the day she looked like she’d been in a fight with Rocky, and that was the day I asked if I could take her photo... Now, whenever she comes out as whatever she went with that day, we grab a picture. This makeup was inspired by "The Flare Virus" from Maze Runner.

I was booked to cover a young flag-football athlete; even at the 10u level, the difference between the boys and girls is clear. What stood out was this little athlete; one of the smallest on the field, yet she never stopped chasing and getting into the mix with the boys and bigger kids. Some kids are born with an "attack" mindset, and if properly parented, they'll have an advantage in all they do their entire life.

My current 180° I started this Saturday watching the sunrise, drinking coffee, and listening to the world wake up. Weekends aren’t meant to be 48 hours of extra sleep & gluttony.

You know what’s wild? I once made my living posting online; legit running a 6 figure business 100% online… Now, I don’t even know what to say when I get in here when I do. I have a ton of insights, awareness, ideas, and thoughts but I don’t have the desire whatsoever to share a word or talk online… What is that?

Watched the Odyssey with my son and daughter, IMAX. It was a good movie, the “woke” takes are unfounded.

It's crazy to see @Cobratate & @TateTheTalisman arrested with people cheering over it, while known criminals and pedophiles hold public positions, yet people look away. Everything comes down to money and marketing.

An entire game told in two photos.

Retarded take of the day.
