So, one day I ran across two things online: Â one was a 10,000 crunch in 30 days challenge. Â The other thing was a “total abs” workout. Â I saved ’em both, and tried the total abs thing for a bit. Â It was… OK. Â Crunches, like 30 crunches, really don’t do a whole lot. Then I looked …
There’s a checklist of things that have to happen before I kick off my new web series, “Sex With Davis” (no, it’s not about having sex with me, it’s about the science and facts of sex), and a checklist of stuff that has to happen for my business. Â One area that they overlap is web …
SO, I get older today. Â That also means I tend to get a little grumpier for a bit, as I take a look back at the last year (and my life in general), see where I’m at, and where I’ve been. Â Just for S&G’s, I thought I’d write this one down on a blog, so …
I don’t hate sequels and reboots – sometimes they work out really well! Â But, it’s a case by case thing – some of them excite me, some don’t. When Mad Max: Fury Road was announced, I was a bit dubious – did Mad Max need a sequel after Thunderdome? Â That pretty much wrapped up …

Concessions Guy, making small talk: “So, what are you here to see?” Me: Â “Pitch Perfect 2.” Concessions Guy comes to a complete stop, drink in hand, looks at me, and tilts his head a little: Â “Uh… with someone?” Me, with a grin: Â “Yes, with someone.” “Ah, OK!” (The above was the actual conversation that happened …
I’ll admit it – there should be a law against looking forward to Monday Mornings, but I am. Â I used to be one of those folks who hated Mondays, but I got over that a number of years ago. Â But, this one is a little different. Now that I’ve figured out what’s wrong with my …

So, I finally made it to the doctor today to have my shoulder looked at. Â Yep, it’s screwed. Â I haven’t had an MRI on it yet (that costs more than I have, and may not even be relevant), but range of motion, prodding, etc. confirmed what I thought – it’s most likely torn cartilage. Â While …
And now there’s a plan (Workouts, post-screwed shoulder) Read More »
Lately I’ve been doing various artsy sorts of stuff (mainly woodworking) when someone I know online said (paraphrased) “I know this is sort of odd, but, would you make me something?” Now, this wasn’t a “something specific”, this was a “something”. Â I asked, and they didn’t have anything in particular they wanted – just “something”. …

So, I’m watching Warren Robbinett’s Post-Mortem of the development of Adventure for the Atari 2600 console (because I’m a game developer, and that’s how I roll. Â Plus, I grew up playing stuff like Adventure on the 2600, so it’s fascinating to me.) Â It’s interesting to see exactly how much things have moved on in the …

It’s a shame we have to die my dear No ones getting out of here, alive This time. What a way to go, to have no fear No ones getting out of here, alive This time. — Foo Fighters, DOA Sometime after the divorce process, I started holding my breath, but I never realized it.  I …

So, for a while I was posting frequently about my progress for workouts as I trained for the Wichita Highland Games being held at the Great Plains Renaissance Festival. Â This was a really big thing for me – I had been really looking forward to doing it. Â I’ve competed once, having no idea what I …
After all this work, I won’t be doing the Highland Games Read More »
Not being particularly interested in getting into online dating sites after my most recent divorce, I decided to take a web 3.0 approach to meeting incredibly strange people and / or being rejected by those who aren’t strange. Â So, I’ve created an online form to simplify most of the process of being rejected or stalked. …

Last night I got ready to start my workout late, and suddenly was dead tired. Not a good time for a workout, so I pushed it (and my weekly progress pictures and blog) off for a day. Just another way of trying to not hurt myself (further) during this workout series. 🙂 Well, now just …
Well, I’m now at the half-way point for my Wichita Highland Games training. Â Lemmie say this – I’m still not ready for it. Â Hopefully, after the next 7 weeks, I’ll feel I’m ready for it, but I have my doubts 🙂 Workouts sucked this week. Â Tonight, for instance, on pull downs, I grabbed the bar …
Well, no pictures this time, and I’m a day late getting it posted – though, with good reason I feel. Â I dog sat for a friend last night while he was in the hospital with spleen issues. I did my workout yesterday (I lay them out so that upper body is always on Wednesday. Â I’m …
So, I’m looking at my life right now and part of my life is going pretty damned good. Â However, it’s a narrowly focused portion of my life. Â I’m achieving my physical goals (workouts, strength increases for the Highland Games, etc.) with… well, I’m not going to call it ease, but I’m going to say it’s …

Well, only 10 more weeks to go for my Wichita Highland Games training. Â But, I’ve already broke one of my personal records, which means I already have achieved one of my goals, about 5 – 7 weeks earlier than planned. Â In a way, it’s a bit of a vanity thing – my previous record …
So, I’ve got a tattoo. Â Except, it’s not that sort of tattoo – see the picture to the left, with a small dot near the center? Â That’s my tattoo. Â See, I decided to try the whole drug trial thing at Heartland Research again, which resulted in me getting a very, very small tattoo. Quite a …
Browsing 9Gag, I happened to run across a meme that seriously ticked me off. Â The person who posted it revealed he was 19 years old, and the text was: “One girl my age, with no kids, and not a slut, please.” I can see the first two parts as being sort of reasonable – I …
Some weeks are better than others 😉 Â My shoulder is still messed up (though slightly better) from last, and I didn’t get most of my leg day workouts in due to schedule. Â But, I did hit all the upper body days, so that’s something. Ended up changing a bit of form here and there in …
Well, I made it through another week. Â I’d like to say it was without incident, but that would be a lie. I took up doing HIIT running (20 seconds at full bore sprint, and 10 second walk, repeat until you’ve got nothing left. Â Which doesn’t take that long.) Â On HIIT day 6 of 10, I …
Today I had a medical appointment (I’ll talk about the “what up” with that later, but it was just a trial program for a medicine that was a good fit for me), and ended up with some news that deflated me a bit. With trials like that, they test you for a little bit of …
I don’t speak much ill about the various Ex’s in my life, ranging from some long term girlfriends, one (sort of unwanted – long story, like many things in my life) fiance, one ex-wife, and one soon to be ex-wife. Â In fact, it’s not uncommon for me to defend them in conversations. Â And, I get …
Well, another week went by, and I didn’t die or injure myself. Â So, I’m going to consider it a win from that standpoint 😉 I was going to take a week off from the 7-Minute morning workout, which is basically a HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training – workout, but a bit more focused. Â After …
Last week, I came to a realization: timing wise, I’d be able to pull of doing the Wichita Highland Games (which is happening at the Great Plains Renaissance Festival this year). Â However, from a physical standpoint, there’s no way I could pull it off if it were to be going on today – I’m strong, …
I didn’t make any traditional New Year’s resolutions (well, besides the standard “quit smoking, get in better shape” thing, partially because I don’t yet know where this year will take me. I have a feeling it’s going to be a wild ride (as if the rest of my life isn’t anyways.) But, someone had posted …
Yep, a new year, and a new attempt at getting the blog back up and running 🙂 Of course, I’m under now illusion that I’ll actually manage to do something like blog everyday, or to video blog everyday. Â But, I’m going to try and ignore both of them. Â I plan on doing a little of …
Testing….
Officials deny accusations that recent reports of scouting at NRA rallies were related to plans to test a new vaccine developed at Betacar Industries’ Blue Lotus Facility. Recently discovered internal documents from the Facility indicate that a refined air-borne virulent strain of Influenza F virus has been demonstrated to inoculate unknowing test subjects against the …
Today’s blog; back in to have a good grip on my ADHD (thanks to serious workouts), thoughts about my experience having quit smoking for 72 hours now, and local politicians trying to get my vote / social media support.
