Heroes and Ghosts

So, this week has been pretty productive! New workout plan. Working on a new diet. Work is going as usual. Good mindset so far. Looking forward to making more progess!

Moving on.

Been working on a lot of stuff lately. Making solid progress on the mixtape (Volume 3: The Walking Dead) as far as writing is concerned. Hope to start recording pretty soon, just gotta avoid what's feeling like a mild cold coming on. Also, been toying around with some potential melodies/lyrics for the ANCORA project.

But, what I'm most excited about is the progress I'm making on this story thing I've been dabbling with. I think I may write it in the form of a screenplay just because I don't have to be all literary and shit. I mentioned it in a previous blog, but I'm basing it on some of the crazy dreams I've had over the past 4 months. The hardest part so far is stringing them together in a cohesive manner. It's coming together nicely though, especially since it's my first time ever really attempting something like this. I hope it turns out well. I may post a small piece of it soon? We'll see.

And now for a more general statement...

I've been thinking about the concept of heroes and villians a lot recently. Maybe it's because of trying to write this story thing. Maybe it's something else. Who knows? Who cares? What I've come up with is that maybe it's all about perspective...to a certain extent, of course. No matter what you do, someone is going to have a negative outlook on it. Sometimes when you make the best decisions for yourself, the people who may be affected may feel some type of way about it. And everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But, it can get tough sometimes when you try to be your own hero and in turn people look at you as a villian. Then, you may have to cut off people who hate on your success or your progress to reach your goals. People become ghosts in the end but, when it's all said and done, you can only do what's best for you and whoever wants to make you the villian, fuck 'em. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With that being said, I'm really happy with all the decisions I've made and/or didn't make to end up where I am. I'm looking forward to the future and those lucky enough to be a part of it.

Also, congrats to Aubrun on winning the SEC Championship. Hoping things work out and they make it to the BCS National Championship game, give the SEC a shot at winning an 8th straight national title. Also, hoping a few team ahead of my Gamecocks get knocked out so we can get the best possible bowl! Damn, what am I gonna do when college football season is over?!

New Lights

first off, i want to start by saying congrats to my gamecocks! 5 in a row over clemson, 4th season in a row with at least 10 wins. its great to be a gamecock! forever to thee!

also, i had a blast in columbia. miss the people, the vibe surrounding usc. cant wait to get back there.

onward!

ok, so recently i havent been feeling myself. i think it may have a lot to do with a lack of self-imposed free time. sure, ive had a couple weekends to myself, and this past month came at a perfect time. but i havent had a lot of time to stop and take an actual stress-free breath since i moved back to the beach.

im going to take this last month of the year to refocus and get myself back on the path i need to be on. im still going to be busy and whatnot but im going about it with a better mindset, getting shit done on my own terms. new gym routine, working hard, making as much progress as possible, all with a positive outlook. and im going to make sure i have time to release any kind of stress when i need to. think of it as tunnel vision with a few moments to stop and take in the scenery.

im well aware that there's a possibility that i may seem a little selfish during this period of time, and frankly i dont care. i can only control my own actions and feelings. therefore, thats really all im concerned about. villianize me if you want, but i have goals and i will stop at nothing to reach them. i dont want/need any outside distractions, i can make my own if/when need be.

with that being said, im going to sleep. i have to be up at 3am to take my sister to the airport in charleston, then work, immediately followed by a really intense gym session. long day to say the least. bring on the red bull!
