And the midlife crisis continues! Barely a wink of sleep made my morning pretty rushed and frantic, so it’s no surprise that after a half-finished cup of instant coffee and the hurried packing of a bag,

An almost absurdly beautiful fall day here in this little northwest corner of the United States. As some of you may know, I’ve been sick as a frog for going on close to three weeks now. I woke up this

It was the best of the days, it was the worst of days. ‘Twas neither, really nothing more than an unfortunately uneventful day here in this individual’s insignificant life on this big ol’ globe of ours.

Purple is an underrated color. It’s so corny and so serious at the same time. I guess that’s why it’s usually associated with Halloween.. maybe? Also, bats are cool. A couple of really great days of a

Hello hi greetings! I hope wherever you are in this world, you’re not having a downright horrible time. In a perfect world, I would hope you’d be having the best day of your life, but that seems pretty

Well, spooky season has come and left; the latter only on paper. I have been in quite the mental funk over the past week, spending most of my days aimlessly wandering around the Portland area. The weather

What a weird and wonderful tie of year fall is. In between the rain spells, I find myself bouncing back and forth between being in awe of the beautiful weather I’m surrounded with and actively avoiding

About a half dozen almost-finished books lay scattered around my van. Some left unfinished because I felt like I had misremembered key plot points when reading half asleep, some due to a lack of total

Good afternoon Actifitters! Or morning, evening, noon, midnight, dawn…. wherever the hell you all are at. Today I bring you yesterday- yet another uneventful, weird season day for this guy. It’s funny

Man, I suck at doing laundry. i think this is day three of me promising myself I’d make it in time to the laundromat.. maybe even day four. There seems to be some sort of invisible force holding me back

Am I all of a sudden afraid of the dark? I mean, I’m only half joking. I’ve been finding myself cutting my nightly outings short due to feelings of general discomfort; something completely foreign to me

Well, I followed my marathon accomplishment with a rest day. Then another, then another.. I can’t lie, this week has been unproductive as all hell. A product of the unpleasant combination of mental health

Another absolutely gorgeous day here in Portland. Well, I should say “there in Portland; as I have departed. But for the sake of this post, we’ll talk about it like I’m still there. My legs were definitely

Mission accomplished! As I mentioned yesterday, my dumb ass forgot that I had to pick up a bib the day before the Portland Marathon, and as I was unable to take off work in time for the ~3 hour public

God damn, I did not handle that well. I mean, in the grand scheme of things; I guess I am doing alright; prior to sobriety my “coping” with loss was objectively much less healthy.. so theres that. I managed

Well, that was a hard, tough week emotionally. Losing my friend took a bigger toll on me than I thought, but I’ll save that for another time. I just haven’t been mentally “there” enough to keep up with

Yesterday was not so surprisingly a pretty downer day for me. I tried my best to drag myself to work.. well technically I did; but I ended up leaving early. Not really the best decision, but I was on the

What’s poppin’ Actifitters. If you missed my brief ramblings yesterday, I got news after clocking out of work that a friend back home had passed. I’m feeling a little better today; well, let’s be honest,

Bit of a downer day today. That’s probably an understatement, but it is what it is. Yesterday was a great day; nothing too special, but a normal day at work, followed by some time by the hotel fireplace

Jesus Christ, I lost 20 pounds!? I mean, I did get in probably the worst shape of my life this winter, and then the broken ribs at the beginning of summer didn’t really help, but.. 20 pounds? In like two
