Sometimes I have cereal for dinner to show 5-year-old Me that dreams CAN come true.

I'm a life-long people pleaser, so I'm working with my therapist to care less about what other people think of me.
As long as that's okay with you.
If not, no worries!
UNFORTUNATE UPDATE:
Yesterday I went to the gym, ate a balanced dinner, read a book, and went to bed at a reasonable hour instead of scrolling on my phone.
Today, I feel like I have super powers.
It works.
Just saw Ballerina: From the World of John Wick:
Pretty solid use of all the classic tropes:
Chekovās gun
Chekovās grenade belt
Chekovās kitchen knives
Chekovās samurai sword
Chekovās landmine
Chekovās ice skates
Chekovās flame thrower
Chekovās Baba Yaga
Etc.
I met @patflynn.bsky.social back in 2013 at a conference - dork bloggers with a mutual admiration and love of Nerd culture.
Heās built lots of businesses, & his recent project, @deeppocketmonster.bsky.social , has EXPLODED.
Patās new book, āLean Learningā is out this week! Congrats man!
Just typed "google.com" into the search bar on google.com
Is there a better curmudgeon than Hayao Miyazaki?
Absolute legend.
Them: āWant to come to this dinner? Reservation is at 8:30PMā
Me: āSorry I canāt, just found out some distressing news.ā
The news:
Me at 20: nothing good happens after 3am
Me at 25: nothing good happens after 2am
Me at 30: nothing good happens after midnight
Me at 40: what kind of PSYCHO makes a dinner reservation for 8PM?
Marketing division of shoe company:
"Hey, this Steve guy bought a pair of shoes yesterday. How many marketing emails do you think he wants today? At least 4 right? Yeah, he'll love that."
Rewatching all the Mission Impossible movies.

Spent 20 minutes reading an argument between strangers in the comment section of another strangerās post about a topic I donāt care about.

Now THATās a movie.
Just saw Ryan Cooglerās āSinners.ā
A āhorrorā action filmā¦kinda? But so so much more, with way more depth than expected, with some jaw-dropping sequences.
Ludwig Gƶrannsonās soundtrack absolutely CRUSHES.
Go see it on a big ass screen with a big crowd & stay thru the credits!
Every geriatric Millennial will get served this by the YouTube algorithm today.
Also, this ruled so hard:

Headed to a conference I signed up for 8 months ago.
Booked my flights and hotel last night.
Panic-packed my suitcase 20 minutes before heading to the airport.

Super fun race, loved the chaos!
Devastating news to report:
I didnāt feel like going to the gym, but then told myself I could just do one exercise and go home, but then I did my one exercise and the next one and then my whole workout and I felt much better after.
It works.
Also I will learn nothing from this.
Happy Super MAR10 yāall!
Ha! I just played through Fallout 4 for the first time last year, and loved it.
āI hope this email finds you wellā:

-Mysterious

I am an ADULT.
Who had CEREAL for dinner, then watched a SUPERHERO SHOW and is going to bed at 9PM, because I didnāt get to take a NAP today.
Started Daredevil Born again.
Welp, any fears I had about it not continuing the gritty dark violence and rage from the Netflix version gets put to rest about 5 minutes in.
Iām in.
