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.  One area that they overlap is web …
SO, I get older today.  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.  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!  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?  That pretty much wrapped up …

Concessions Guy, making small talk: “So, what are you here to see?” Me:  “Pitch Perfect 2.” Concessions Guy comes to a complete stop, drink in hand, looks at me, and tilts his head a little:  “Uh… with someone?” Me, with a grin:  “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.  I used to be one of those folks who hated Mondays, but I got over that a number of years ago.  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.  Yep, it’s screwed.  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.  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”.  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.  Plus, I grew up playing stuff like Adventure on the 2600, so it’s fascinating to me.)  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.  This was a really big thing for me – I had been really looking forward to doing it.  I’ve competed once, having no idea what I …

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.  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.  Lemmie say this – I’m still not ready for it.  Hopefully, after the next 7 weeks, I’ll feel I’m ready for it, but I have my doubts 🙂 Workouts sucked this week.  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.  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.  I’m …
So, I’m looking at my life right now and part of my life is going pretty damned good.  However, it’s a narrowly focused portion of my life.  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 …
Financial Success -vs- Workout Success (Finding the common threads?) Read More »
Well, only 10 more weeks to go for my Wichita Highland Games training.  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.  In a way, it’s a bit of a vanity thing – my previous record …
So, I’ve got a tattoo.  Except, it’s not that sort of tattoo – see the picture to the left, with a small dot near the center?  That’s my tattoo.  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.  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 😉  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.  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.  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.  Which doesn’t take that long.)  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.  In fact, it’s not uncommon for me to defend them in conversations.  And, I get …
Well, another week went by, and I didn’t die or injure myself.  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.  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).  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.  But, I’m going to try and ignore both of them.  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. Also, has a cool new hyper-lapse video I show, though the music for both the intro …
