You Can’t Handle the Truth

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline.

Lulz.

Let’s talk about the Quarantine.

What I’ve been doing?  Working my cubicle job from the comfort of my own home.

What I should be doing? (Aka things that can 10x your game/life)

Mental – Meditation, to give myself more overall awareness if life.

Emotional Wellbeing – I don’t think I have any nagging emotional issues or self esteem problems.

Physical Fitness – I’ve never been a “hit the gym” type of dude. I’m more about walking, roaming city streets, knocking out a 2 step, maybe some calisthenics at the crib.  That’s just not available right now.

Stacking – I went from cooking 50% of my meals to 90% at this point.  But I’m also retooling.  As I was saying on the podcast, my technical/production role is now subject to work from home analysis.  A lot of upper management is going to see that they can trim down a lot of white collar real estate and find capable people willing to work for less.

I’m wondering if I should start offering coaching calls, strategy sessions for dudes, but I’d honestly rather just finish editing what i’ve written.
