-
- Man, I haven't sat
on the toilet and ugly cried in what, 8 years? And
thankfully, it was about shit from 8 years ago! And 15
years ago! And, whew...
-
- So less than an
hour ago I got this email:
-
- Hi
Adam.
-
- Hope you and
the family are enjoying the holidays. Anyway, I was
doing some digital housekeeping and ran into my
VLOG THIS! files from 2 years ago. And since our
distributor wasn't able to sell VLOG THIS! to the
networks, I decided to upload them all on YouTube.
-
- If you're
interested in seeing your episode, here's the link
and I hope like it.
-
- Warm
Regards,
- Ana

- Suffice to say,
I was interested. That interview was over 3 years
old and one of the many things that have come and gone
on this long Journey. I knew that instead of a
documentary, she ended up turning it into a TV show
and I was the first episode she was pitching to the
networks. That's honestly all I knew or have known for
years. So to wake up (after a night of insomnia
sitting in my living room staring off into space) and
see this, was out-of-body. Because suddenly - I'm back
to that other dude. Remember him? That guy I keep
hinting to people about when they think I'm the
Delorean Minigolf guy? The guy I'm finally focusing on
in 2016 now that we made enough money and Hats &
Minigolf is a good idea? Well here he is and oh yeah,
it's overwhelmingly emotional and crammed into a
half-hour TV show.
-
- Gulp.
-
-
- Whew.
I called her immediately and she's at the pier so
reception is all goofy, but I guess that allows
me to write here.
-
- First off, can't
even begin to tell you how strange it is to see your
life through someone else's eyes. It's beautiful
actually. What they find important is always a little
different and I cannot believe how enveloped in the
site she had to be to pull that off. She picked some
videos I haven't seen since I shot them...
that's the eeeeeeeeriest feeling. It still is how I
describe it in that piece: this visceral "being
there" moment because my ancillary memories are
kind of gone... I only remember the videos. So yeah,
that piece... 2x4 to the head... but the timing!
JESUS. I'm shooting the video with Don today.
Yearender... putting the final nail button on this
chapter and focusing on "THAT ADAM" again.
To get this email, to see that video... what a
reminder. What... an inspiration actually.
-
- And jesus, this is
going to be the diet/workout regime of the century.
I'm actually heavier (by 1 pount) than I've ever been
almost by design: I like having to focus on
health for a couple months and work for it.
I like getting to the end of the year and letting
go... and enjoying THAT. I like the ebb and flow.
I certainly would like my fluctuation to be 10-20
pounds and not FIFTY, but that's how this year ended
up. October kicked my ASS. So much free food and
alcohol and being treated like a celebrity at these
events... and then being so busy you can barely sleep
let alone eat right... but honestly? I've enjoyed the
FUCK out of it. I'm glad I didn't try and limit
myself. It was fun! Now it isn't. And now I need to
get serious so I can even attempt to pitch in
March/April. I sure as fuck can't now...
-
- "Who's this
homeless fat santa fucker?" HA.
-
- Alright, gotta go
set-up for Don at GolfKon. Ready to crack open that
PEPSI PERFECT. ;-)
-
- THANK YOU ANA!
