Dancing with the Devil, And Smashing Fallout Levels

 I'm sitting here jamming "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" by The Partridge Family. I got into those dudes back when I was working out of the home. I developed a taste for David Cassidy's swooning and crooning, and YouTube Music naturally autoplayed the Partridge Family. They've got some absolute bangers. I'd call them my only musical guilty pleasure but honestly. I'd blast this shit anywhere; I don't care.

"Du-wop, I'm on my way back home!"

Anyways, I'm following along with Atomic Habits and scrutinizing the shit outta my daily processes. And the one I have been trying to figure out how to hack away at for a little bit is my to-do list. From my minimal studying, I've come to understand that using decision-making matrixes is better than using to-do lists. I used to have the Eisenhower Decision Matrix tacked onto my wall as a freshman in college. A system like that doesn't really help if you can't get your priorities straight. You wind up asking yourself questions like "Is it really  urgent to get coffee, even though I know I won't be able to function as well without it?" And at the end of the day, you've spent more time thinking about making decisions than actually doing anything. 

But I digress. I've got a busy ass day. I've got a doctor's appointment. I've got some fundraising shit to do. I'm trying to develop my endurance and conditioning so I don't die when I go to this Muay Thai gym, on Thursday.

Yeah, I'm getting into Muay Thai.

I don't endorse anything these dudes say during this video. IT'S JUST FUCKING BADASS!

I've been wanting to take up some form of combat, but I always got strange looks saying I'd start grappling as a grown man. But honestly, at this point, I've been talking about it for half a year, and I'm going to just do it.

Anyways, it's 1:30 PM and I've only been up for like two hours since I've become addicted to playing New Vegas. And last night I discovered the console commands. And hooooo boy, was that a fun-assed time. I say that I'm addicted to it, because I'd rather be playing that game, than writing this shit, right now.

People don't talk about how damaging and addictive video games can be. A lot of young dudes repeat the same patterns with video games that the previous generation did with alcohol and other substances.

But you didn't come here to see a not-old man rave about video games being the devil.

But they are...

Peace.

Why the hell am I listening to White Christmas, right now?
