- Hard to find the
words, really. Decided to pay an homage to 2000 with
the new entry bar design and it's just kind of
overwhelming. I didn't plan all the craziness like
I did for #1000 so I haven't really processed all
this and it's frankly a bit emotional. I'm still at
it. And, in fact, that's the subject of the entry and
video. Why and what the hell this is...
-
-
- Wow. I mean
it really is breathtaking. It almost seems like
someone else, you know? I mean, my kids think I'm
a race car driver because of Fastest Delorean and
that's like one of a dozen things - half of which I
didn't even touch on in that video. I really
stayed focused on 4tvs since it's really at the
foundation of everything. But what a crazy 5 minutes
that is and yeah, I'll say it: I'm proud of myself.
Very. This is hard. Even for a guy who likes taking on
hard things? Doing this 2000 times for 20 years is
HARD. And the crazy thing is? I don't feel like I
sacrificed anything - in fact I think it ADDED to
the quality of my life. I don't have hobbies like
normal people, THIS is the hobby and it accentuates my
life and allows me to get past remarkably difficult
shit. People think I'm so strong but I feel like
it's a big rouse: I have The Journey. That's why I'm
strong.
-
- But as I said
in the video, I will try and focus these entries to
complete newcomers to The Journey and also try to get
some press on being over 20 years. It's more than time
to take a victory lap and try to cement myself more
into the community although what I do is so
drastically different than other vloggers. We'll
see.
-
- All I know is
today I have been smiling ear to ear. Called Jess and
we laughed about the time that has passed.
I think what's so wonderful is that my true
friends are all still in touch. Hell Burgundie (first
wife) just made the move to Montana after a life in
Columbus and I called her yesterday to congratulate
her on making it happen. And the reason we all still
love and care about each other? We didn't lie. We said
the truth even when it hurt and as we got older we
realized that was rare and we held onto each other.
I love that. I love that I get to share that
with my wife and kids and be an example for them. Hell
I'm glad that Talya and I went through such an intense
experience in July together and she was able to see me
get through it by repeatedly telling the truth to
everyone who would listen and although it took awhile?
It worked out. Hell even I wasn't so sure on that one.
LOL.
-
- So I look forward
to sharing my life with some new people and continuing
to create new shit as much as possible.
-
- Happy, Freaking,
New Year.
