Tried to figure out the Why. The Wednesday Project (Batman by 50) is a challenge to Me. Just how much can I improve myself in three years The health stuff is simple enough; Eat well and go to the gym. That is supposed to get my body in shape.

Accountability. It helped get you off of alcohol. Maybe it can help you get better control of Project Wednesday. Going to the gym is getting easier, even when I don’t want to or am a little sick. I just go. 20 minutes there and back and you spend maybe 50-60 minutes training. Easy.

One thing that I need to make clear, not only to you out there reading this but to myself, is why I’ve been unable to move forward at pace with my study plan. There is no plan…

Here we go again. Again… This seems to be a recurring theme here but I need this to work so I’ll keep going until it does, making small changes until everything falls into place. Or when enough falls into place that it doesn’t derail. I NEED this to work.

And here we are. Again.

A few weeks ago I tried to change things up—most notably my sleep. You see I wanted less, sleep, as much as I love getting it is a bit of a waste of time, right. Okay, sure we need a good amount of it to function, but we could get so much more done every day if we could get less.

Building Will Power. Having willpower isn’t a catch-all situation, once you attain it for one thing, it doesn’t mean you have it for everything else. I can wake up at 5 am and feel good. I can step into a cold shower and barely react, pick up a book and read for hours. The willpower to do all those has been developed. Each one, in turn.

Life is a constant evolution, a dance with change that shapes who we are and where we’re headed. This site is transforming once more. I don’t yet know where this journey will lead, but that’s the beauty of it—each shift brings us closer to where we’re meant to be.

So, no pearls of wisdom from Greene, Pressfield, Deida or Holiday today. It's just me and my brain trying to figure out what to post. Then it hit me like a 1.8kg slab of beef. Or rather; One Beef Flat Rib weighing in at .578kg One Prime Rib weighing in at 1.262kg I’ve been meaning to visit my local butcher for a while now…

If you’re not pushing yourself forward, you’ll achieve nothing, but if you push forward too fast you could derail and still achieve nothing. But by leaning forward, just enough to make the situation uncomfortable, into the unknown, so you have to learn new skills to progress, we have

This, frankly, has been one of the hardest Stoic ideologies to stick to. Sometimes, while working the whisky bar I can’t help but interject and correct someone on a piece of knowledge. It’s a dumb-fuckery thing to do I know but sometimes I can’t help myself. I am working on it.

This morning I read chapter four of ‘The Way of the Superior Man’ by David Deida. HERE It starts; “Know your real edge. It is honourable for a man to admit his fears, resistance, and edge of practice.“ “But it is dishonourable for him to lie to himself or others about his real place. He should pretend he is more enlightened than he is—

If you’re on ‘business X,’ you’ll be familiar with all the young up-start, 10k/month crowd. Those who say working every waking moment, seven days a week, is how to succeed because success isn’t enough. You have to crush your competition, and the only way to do that is to; WORK HARDER, LONGER, LOUDER…

Here’s my take on Men and expressing Joy. Frankly, if you want to see joy in a Real Man, obscure 80’s - 90’s movie references, power tools, cars, and being lazy on a Sunday morning with his woman. Men typically don’t express themselves the same way women do. While women express their feelings and emotions on their sleeves, Men don’t. Why?

Men today are being told they aren’t emotional enough or they should show more of their feminine side, frankly that sounds like an oxymoron. More women are displaying a more masculine side (the girl boss), which is fine and progressive. Yet when Men behave per their nature it is considered toxic. Why?

Let’s try on an MAJOR direction change. Let’s see what happens when I talk (and make videos) about what it is to be a man. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of crap on what it is or means to be a real man, from leftist, DEI, fourth-wave feminist and Right-wing red pill morons out to make a buck on your insecurities.
