I have so many cool outfits…but I can’t fit into any of them rn and I’m depressy about it

Wife is sick again, ugh this is insanity. This house is always running with illness I’m soooo tired of it

Thinking of doing a tech sabbath, like no tech except for listening to physical music (cds/vinyls/cassettes), and prioritizing being present for a full 24 hours. It just sucks because it can’t be a weekday where I work, unless I take the day off. Might do that honestly 🤷

Medical OCD is no joke….ugh

Here's a thoughtful and generous reveiw of the Gum Parker record from Start Track's own @newtfangs.bsky.social Thanks a ton NF! start-track.com/album-gum-pa...

I got something good coming in the mail boys 😈 will show once it arrives

Our digest from blog is up: open.substack.com/pub/starttra... This time it is brought to you by our dear writer @newtfangs.bsky.social

Tendonitis is so fun!! I love only being able to use one hand!! It totally doesn’t make my job as a writer more difficult in ANY way!! 😃

New playlist name created by @newtfangs.bsky.social open.spotify.com/playlist/7cQ... Same music, just more curators contributing to it. It will be a playlist for more advanced listeners :)

Day 6 of 75 Soft and I feel GREAT (minus the shoulder pain from going 0 -> 100 doing this challenge) But overall, I’m loving engaging with my body more and feeling a tad stronger everyday. Starting to look forward to workouts

9 more days of the March Music Writing Challenge 🤙 Blog is on substack and beehivv

Made a list of all of the artists in my music library that I need to give my full attention….i think it’s like 50+ so that’s fun 😅

12 more days of this writing challenge…I am tired tbh LOL it doesn’t help that I’ve been sick and work has been busier than ever. At work I’m probably writing 7K-10K words per day, so it can be hard to want to write for myself after that. I know I can do it though, then April will be for rest

Hey so my wife and I have been sick (either one or both of us) since December 🙃🙃🙃 So this is a PSA to take vitamin c, wash your hands, and for the love of God….MASK UP!!

Next week goal: Keeping my boundaries intact when it comes to work/work-related tasks. I work 9-5, not a second earlier or later. Just because I stick to my time doesn’t mean I’m not a team player, it really means I respect my time and others time as well. I am a valued team member regardless

This weekend is reserved for writing things I enjoy, Skyrim, outdoor rest, and cooking with my wife. Everyone and anything else is getting ignored

Ate the best cinnamon bun of my life just now

This week was exhausting, I’m 5 seconds from taking a nap

Stuck in a cycle of constant motion then crashing out and feeling guilty for not continuing to do things even though I know I need rest. Even my “rest” is spent making lists of things to do when I’m not resting. I feel like sleep is my only reprieve

Cut off one of my old friends and 6 months later she’s a bible-thumping, skirt-wearing phony that no longer swears or takes interest in her past obsessions. What the hell happened bro PS: No problem with people who are religious btw, just hate fake people who use it to hide and manipulate

First on the agenda… Immediately scrolling my phone the second my eyes open and later wondering why I feel so disconnected from my reality

Bought a carpet cleaner and super pumped to clean the soul out of these old ass carpets

Hoping for a chill day at work tomorrow so you know what that means…it probably won’t be 😁

I hate sports but you’re crazy if you think I won’t be making (too much) food today and making an excuse to chill tf out!!!! Also go birds because i despise TS and her bf

Happy Friday! We got prepared for today on Bandcamp: starttrack.bandcamp.com/merch

These stacked days have me feeling completely obliterated by 7pm. My screen time has been out of this world, need to take a bit of a break sometime tomorrow and go outside

Copping MODI vinyl tomorrow during Bandcamp Friday….its all coming together 😈
