Two Weeks Pretending To Be Dick…Tracy

I never expected to need or want an Apple watch and when asked said I had no interest in purchasing one.

There didn’t seem to be a need for one and though I like gadgets there wasn’t anything I could use as an excuse to purchase one.

Which is to say since I didn’t have a burning desire to own one or see any value in it I ignored them and that is how it went for a long while.

Watched friends, family and colleagues pick them up and their stories didn’t move the interest needle

And then I got irritated by my reflection and frustrated that I wasn’t getting the results I wanted out of my workouts.

Some of that came from my diet and my refusal to make certain adjustments. My funky digestive system sometimes makes eating a pain so I decided if I had to deal with that I was going to enjoy myself.

But I also realized I am decades past 25 and the only way I was going to see improvement was based upon my work.

So I picked up the watch to establish benchmarks for how much exercise I was truly getting figuring once I knew that I could adjust my caloric intake.

Two weeks of pretending to be Dick Tracy seem be working and I am happy with the direction things are going in.

It reminded me of someone who said once I pulled my head out of my ass I would realize I she could take good care of me. Eventually I said the same thing to her and offered to help pull.

Actually I said something about two hands and a few other loving and descriptive words as well.

Writers Need To Write

I have been picking apart old posts and pulling out bits and pieces of material that I see as being useful for some new content I have been working upon.

It is tied into whether I keep some of the other blogs going. Some exist for sentimental reasons and I am not sure if those make sense any more, especially since they aren’t being read.

There is only so much time in the say and space inside the object that rests upon my shoulder.

I went back the place where it all began and spent a chunk of time cleaning up spam that had slipped through and made a note to check on some of the others.

But none of that is tied into writing the way that I want to so I made a point to not let it distract me from parsing through the pieces to begin to identify what needs to go and what can stay.

Writers need to write, can’t get lost in the extraneous.
