dude, everything about fatherhood is terrifying. From the first time you drop them until the day you let them spread their wings; its terrifying.

I constantly tell the Mrs that the sign youāre being a good parent is constantly feeling like youāre a bad one.
I see the parents that are CLEARLY checked out. They donāt care if theyāre a bad parent or not.
If youāre not terrified, youāre not trying.

Iāve been feeling very out of place (in a bad way) among the econ maths people. Throughout the hackathon, I felt like my teammates (in particular, my friend) didnāt want to work with me, so I asked. He got back to me just now
I confess that I got really emotional over than and will be printing this out and putting it with my game theory notes
As do I. We actually cover Night Prowler in my band and I have to sing the choruses because, at half the age of our other singer, I donāt have a prohibitive amount of damage to my vocal cords yet. haha
My favorite part about AC/DC is that they even admit this - Angus Young quote: āIām sick to death of people saying weāve made 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, weāve made 12 albums that sound exactly the same .ā
Iām in a band that plays heavy southern rock and grunge. CCR and Skynyrd through Corrosion of Conformity and Kingās X. Biggest problem is that Iām a rhythm player that plays some leads (which is what Iāve done my whole musical life) and Iām also our tenor vocalist. Our lead player has been gone this whole year and weāve been practicing without him, resulting in me noodling my whole ass off all over the pentatonic scale where there should be a well-composed and well-thought-out solo. Needless to say, Iām beside myself excited for him to be back in April so we can sound like weāre good again

When my kid was teething (so like i dunno, 8 mos. old) he got hold of a coat hanger. A stupid simple coat hanger.
Then put it top ways into his mouth and pulled it through his cheek fish hook style.
In the 30 some odd seconds it took me to take a whiz.
Then draw strings on curtainsā¦
Its terrifying
Thats why my grandparents came from like 13 or 14 kids per family. They knew they were gonna lose a couple.

the proportion of boys losing fingers/lives to antics with firecrackers decreased exponentially once the one child policy was implementedā¦
Yeah, when you only have one or two theyāre more important.
My pap & siblings went to work in the mines when they were 12. They were good for getting in on that low coal.

Honestly, Iāve never been smacked or slapped as a kid.
But the reason for that is that there was an unspoken understanding between me and my parents that getting my ass kicked was very much on the table if I did something really bad. They were (still are) some very tough people and I knew that you arenāt supposed to mess with either of my parents.
And it did bring about self-correcting behavior. Donāt get me wrong, I did stupid shit as a teenager but nowhere near as much as kids with ācoolā or āmodernā parents.
Thanks to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, now I know that the fancy term for this is āstrategic ambiguityā.

Posted this in my log but it rings of confession, chucking and stupidity so i figured it might be appreciated here.
DISCLAIMER: i would have helped but said noob already had a spotter and was being a blatant equipment hog with his ego. I believed me not helping was the best form of help i could offer.

Confession:
After being told āif there was a man of the match it would be youā on Saturday - my son has been in awe of me. Yesterday I was working out and I said to him:
āDo you know why I got player of the match. Because tonight no one else if doing f**king burpees until their lungs burn. Winning is done long before the eventā.
Iām looking out at my equipment and hes doing rounds of 10 burpees, 5 pull ups, 10 press ups and 10 sit ups.
Confession - there is no part of me that is not impressed with him.

I confess that I absolutely hate refilling the hand soap dispensers to the point that I will buy a new one for my sink rather than pull out one of the 20 refill jugs my wife has stashed under the sink. I feel like itās a dollar well spent.

I confess I put some sunflower butter on some summer sausage the other night and oh my god why isnāt this a regular thing?
Itās the biggest thing I want to teach my kids and the kids I coach.
Winning is not done on the day. Not really. Itās done in the gym, or the training pitch. Away from prying eyes. Often alone. Thatās where people who are okay become good, the goods become great and the greats become legends.

Itās crazy when the book is so cheap but I donāt think many on YouTube have read the book (and itās short).

Thatās what usually triggers @T3hPwnisher. It is not just this program it is also things like 531. People read an article online or find a spreadsheet online bit wont pay $15 for a fkn ebook. Then they butcher the program, whist telling everyone they are doing it and afterwards complain about the results.
