I did a karate exam today to see if I made it to the yellow belt. Being the amazing that I am, I got my yellow belt today! Itās only the second belt, but nevertheless a big achievement.

I donāt have any tattoos and honestly I have more in common with Aron Ford Jr (though I still have all my hair). Maybe I need to take up birdwatching and just hope I donāt start to morph into Ken āThe Brickā Morgan

Came to the conclusion itās time to retire my 2005 Subaru Outback. Particularly for a plethora of reasons but at the end of the of the day it boils down to peace of mind.
Starting Friday Iāll be going through the process of saving a majority of my next ten paychecks. This in turn should mean by the time late November Rolls around I should have a sizable down payment.
I could go on about how this wasnāt an easy thing to land on, but the writing was on the wall for awhile now especially as I gear towards moving within the next year. I simply need something newer and more reliable when I factor in 30 Min commutes to work.
The old girl has been through it this year between exhaust disconnecting from its Cal Converter, and just getting hit by a drunk driver and I simply just canāt justify investing into the vehicle when I plan on getting rid of it soon anyway. Just gonna ride her out til the inspection sticker gets close to expiring and then sell it for scrap.
So Iām just gonna fast track the process to this year. Meaning for the next few months Iāll be living a very disciplined lifestyle. Only eating at home, spending less on luxuries and focusing more on long term investments for the betterment of myself, and on the gaming side tackle my backlog instead of getting the new and hot thing at a $70 premium.

Just went 24 hours without smoking or drinking for the first time in three years. Feels pretty good, I actually woke up without stumbling or having to drag myself out of bed.

Very well done 
a full 24 hours is so hard to do but it shows yourself what is possible. That you can manage without it. There will be relapses, caving to moments of temptation, but thatās okay. Itās not weakness to have some bumps along the road, when the reward for success is so great.
Itās very difficult, but very admirable, having to put short-term pleasures on hold for the long-term plan. Like smoking and drinking, itās hard to say no when you want to treat yourself, especially when youāve been working so hard. Ignore the fomo and push through, the luxuries will still be there when itās time to enjoy them. And theyāll taste all the sweeter for it, knowing youāre enjoying them from a stable place

So far so good. Iām really irritable today but I have horror films and a fresh KCD1 playthrough to keep me busy and distracted until I pass out later. 37 hours and going.
Iād be playing WOA right now but my laptop randomly disconnects from wifi constantly.

Had my Toyota 
's brakes, callipers, and some other stuff worked on. They got it done the same day, but I couldnāt get a ride up to the shop. Soā¦ I made the effort to walk up there, and did so along the train tracks. I donāt know the exact distance but it did take around 2 hours.
First off, my knees are killing me! Have to put some ice packs on 'em and use some of those pain pills I had left over from when I broke a bone in my foot last year.
And I have never, in my life, seen more dead turtles than I did in that 2-hour walk. 
I can only assume that they get in between the tracks and have no way of climbing out. So they go and go and goā¦ Probably die of thirst or hunger.

I just stood in line for 25 min so this person could save $3.32 cents on her āall fucked upā grocery bill. That was her wording, not mine. The bill was over $800 and she was sure the āfucking uneducated, lazy, fat, [racial slur] who canāt speak English cashierā was intentionally screwing her over by double ringing āeverything.ā
I felt so bad for the cashier, who could hear her, the manager who had to go over every single charge with her, everyone else in line, myself. Pretty much every person who has ever met this woman, I feel bad for them. I gotta give the manager a ton of credit though bc when it was all over he made sure the woman knew nothing was double rang it was just a sale item that didnāt calculate correctly. He then added if it was a mom and pop he would have fully refunded her and asked her to never come back and not let her take the groceries, but since itās a corporation he had to go over the bill with her, and now he can tell her never to come back so āthe police will be called if you ever come in here again.ā
Everyone clapped and I offered to buy everyone in line behind me a drink at their little tasting bar. Iām working on getting the manager and cashier to have a shot with us too.

Iām not what youād call a āhandymanā type, but after almost five years my wife finally decided to order a new garbage disposal for our sink and this afternoon I installed it entirely on my own, with the only setbacks being that I needed to go to a hardware store to get some plumberās putty partway through, and that one of the wires for the power source came undone before I tried turning it on, so I had to rewire it, about a 20 minute delay. Other than that, works just fine. Not bad for a guy who doesnāt work with his hands, and an appliance as problematic as a garbage disposal.
