GM #nostr Time for some early morning #bjj I AM consistently moving towards a brighter and better tomorrow. I AM seeking improvement amongst my community and those within in. I AM continuously growingband putting forth my best effort.

GM #nostr 3 I AMs this morning.. I am awake, alive and flowing with passion. I am growing out loud and relentlessly willing to face challenge and change. I am learning what I was never taught - conscious, and positively optimistic in the tasks at hand. The depth of self is not for everyone. Nose to grindstone; “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” - Michelangelo Let's “liberate the form” ⚔️

Just overheard someone say, "I don't want to get my truck dirty." They were serious too. Out of decency, I won't fully express my thoughts on the matter.

"Don't look back - something might be gaining on you" - Satchel Paige

Working in the outdoor industry is such a privilege. I met some great folks today, all willing to share their stories and also some that let me in on their own fun times - a nobody in their world. Total strangers; yet we cheers'd over beers, Americana country (literally the land we all cherish across the USA), jammed to live jazz music, sang karaoke until bar close. Conferences can be cool. Get out there. Have fun. Let passion fill your sails to carry you beyond. Stack sats and focus (deeply) on yourself, the craft or service you attend to. All to say, I am blessed beyond reason.

GM Nostr Morning walk as the sun is peaking of the mountains here. I'm on the hunt for caffeine. ⚔️ #grownostr

Still stacking. Still focusing on my craft.

Industry Day at Outdoor Retailer 2025 is kicking off. Salt Lake City is beautiful! Grateful to have the freedom to travel and adventure out beyond my daily routine. ⚔️🤙

I'm using AI to teach myself how to fish.

Blueberry pickin' today 🙏

Mentally I'm here.

Rear Window is such a great film.

Calm through the storm

This so-called "shit" is what I live for, it's why I'm alive I'll never smother this fire, forever burning inside I'm at the point where I'm sucked in By the message, I get this passion This fury is mine and it keeps me alive I can't fucking breathe until I release what's inside An unloaded gun, that will never go off A rollercoaster ride, that can't wait to stop So tell me who the fuck are you trying to fool? Tell me what the fuck have you put your heart into? Fuck the tame animal restricted to the cage With predictable actions, that define your "rage" I'm the motherfucking lion roaring in your face Tearing down those limits that keep you placed Say I care too much and I got it all wrong? I'm in this for the message, it's more than just song Blood, sweat, intensity Every broken knuckle or busted knee I'm doing my best, and I'm doing my part Don't criticize me man when there's no fire in your heart

Thoreau grew beans; you can too.

Think you could live for 2 years off of less than $2,500? Henry David Thoreau did this in 1845. $62 in total expenditure (at the time), with a portion of that ($28.12, roughly $1,000 today) going towards his handmade cabin. Sure he strolled to town, and squatted on Emerson's land - But he lived frugally. I wonder if Thoreau would be a bitcoiner in today's age... Walden is a favorite book of mine, and I'll always gift it out as I continually revisit it myself.

Busy week on my side. Gutter and fascia repair on my brother's house. Baited, trapped, and migrated a large opposum that got into one of our cellar basements. Pruning some way overgrown trees. Patching some bird holes on the house. Not all progress is pretty and worth posting. I'm trying not to make this nostr feed a journal, but in the future I'll enjoy looking at my own timeline. I've got a goal to start taking more photos to pair with notes like these. ⚔️

Live. Laugh. Unlearn.
