If 'fried bones' were a thing and tasty I would eat them. I still wouldn't eat meat but I would consume skeletons.

I coach some kids and I look at them and I can see that they are fully aware of their surroundings. They are present. They are taking in information and processing it. Just as good as me, if not better. And then other kids are inside of what I call, 'The Noise'. And they hear maybe every other word. You can tell that all forms of communication are being filtered through The Noise first. And then other kids are in The Noise but it's funny and they somehow have enough charm to get past being in The Noise.

 every day I do my sudoku. put the numbers in their appropriate little prison cells. the digits yearn for detainment and captivity.

I love a little gag. I love a little goof. Some prop comedy

 The weather has improved my mood tremendously. And I don't mean that I was in a bad mood before. I was fine. But now I'm in the type of mood where when I'm making a smoothie to drink before coaching I'll pour the smoothie into an orange juice bottle that I finished today and I'll take some white duct tape and cover the label with it and write 'THAT JUICE' on it and then strut around the gym waving around that juice. And they key to the bit is you leave the part of the orange juice label that said 'some pulp', you leave that uncovered so when people ask you what's in THAT JUICE you point at the label and say, 'some pulp'.

Here's what I'll say about 2025. And I don't want to get ahead of myself or call anything but I can safely say that so far that at least in my neck of the woods the year has stuck to the script of how seasons are supposed to be. 

January- cold. had snow. felt like winter.

February. more cold. more snow. felt like winter but with the teeniest bits of hints of spring at the end.

March- spring time. daylight savings kicked in and it got sunny and warm.

It's like we're following the illustrations on a calendar made for a small child. These kinds of things give me a deep satisfaction that I feel is worth writing down.

I'm so happy the sun is still up

 I'm so happy the sun is still up.

I look tired because I drank a kombucha for dinner and that kept me up and I just got off work but I'm still so happy the sun is still up. 

You can't complain about the darkness and then not celebrate the sunshine. You gotta be happy when the good thing happens.

The only other important thought in my head is that my sister shared a video of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass but most of the words are replaced with 'boom' and at one point she says,

'Yes I boom. Yes I boom. Somebody please boom who the eff I boom. I am Booki Boomaj, I boom them dudes up, boom coupes up and boom the deuce up.'

I met my hangboard goal today!

I put 50% of my bodyweight on my bodyweight and hung on a little edge for 10 seconds! hooray!

and then I climbed up this ladder of 10 16mm edges with no feet! hooray!

I thought if I reached those goals someday that I would know that I had strong enough fingers to do hard climbs so now I gotta do some hard climbs!

I'm proud of myself for sticking to a goal that I set nearly 2 years ago and I feel like I learned a lot about training and myself in the process.

You gotta be kind to yourself. That's something I'm still learning and practicing. You gotta be kind to yourself.

gonna make a smoothie and do my taxes

 wish me luck!

update: I HAD TO PAY THE IRS SO MUCH MONEY :(((((((((((

update update: I'm not against the idea of taxes. I would gladly pay more in taxes if I felt like they went towards the common good.
