Hello everybody I hope you having a great week and I hope that all your biggest dreams will come true sooner than later. My dream would be to leave everything behind and go to one of the pacific islands or somewhere in the Philippines and just be a bartender at like a tiki hut. For some reason that sounds like a good time to me and I would also day trade during this adventure if they have Wi-Fi. Maybe one day, if I need to run away for some reason.
Well last night I played 5v5 basketball for the first time in two to three years, and let me tell you I don’t have it anymore. Three times up the court I was out of breath and sweating like a fat guy that has not done any physical activity in two years. On the positive side I did shoot one three and it felt great and rimmed out, heard that before. Other than that my body is destroyed today and my right ankle is swollen like a benign tumor is growing in it and my hips hurt like I just I gave birth after 69 hours in labor.
The first game I guarded a guy that was about the same size, skill, and was willing to put out the same effort as me. It was great and my team ended up winning the game. Next game I got to guard a guy that I have never met but I assume he should be playing in the NBA G League. The first shot of the game he hit a step back three in my face and I knew it was going to be a long one. He went on to score about half his teams points and they won the game. I went and sat down, told everyone I was done, finished my Natural Light and left the gym.
Phase two in Memphis was put on hold for a while due to the fact that Covid cases are on the rise again. I don’t enjoy saying this but this is good for me because this has pushed back the date that I will have to go into the giant corporate office filled with people I don’t want to see. So the latest things I have heard from people that know things is that it might be another month or so until I get back. Honestly if the cases continue to rise like this I might never have to go back, and that’s fine with me.
Speaking of work I did a meeting yesterday with two coworkers that I have never talked to in my life. Full disclosure I have not dressed up for work since I have been out of the office. I wear shorts, t shirt, and my Master’s hat and I was worried about these two other people would be dressed nice or at least presentable. THEY WERENT! They were wearing t-shirts and none of us wearing makeup. Really helped me relax. But I crushed the meeting and gave them vague answers to every question to get them off my back.
I have started to watch Avatar the Last Airbender on Netflix dot com to go to sleep at night and it is better than a melatonin. The show is absolutely wonderful and episodes are 20 ish minutes long and it will knock you out. I’m not going to lie I have had a crush on Katara ever since I first saw this show when I was a young tot. Also it would be sick to have a flying bison.
I am traveling to Florida this weekend, Tampa in August, and San Diego in September or November (I can’t remember which one). It does feel like the best thing to do traveling around the country while people are dying in a pandemic. I feel I’m not doing my part but I have been sequestered in my house for three months without much contact with the outside world. I feel like Desmond Hume in Lost living in that hatch, and me typing these every day is like him resetting that clock thing. Yall Remember that? But on the trip I promise I will stay away from people, if possible.
I have been looking into a trip I want to take. It would be a trip to Scotland where you can take a 3-7 day tour around the country visiting the amazing Scottish Whiskey distilleries. That seems like the perfect trip to go on, drinking whiskey and looking at the beautiful Scottish countryside while having a buzz. Gosh and playing some golf courses their omg sign me up buddy.
