Andy - Four Letters

01/01/2020 Gonna try micro blogging my days so I can relive a little bit as I glance through it. Started the new year back in Vallejo after driving up on New Years Eve. Tiff had the week off before her next rotation in Visalia so she wanted to rest a bit before she headed back. As a good husband would, she needed a place to study so I decided to let her go to WeWork to work in one of the conference rooms. Surprisingly, it wasn't as empty as I thought it to be with a handful of people there.  Sharon and her mom came to put up a few potted plants as part of the decoration committee. Nino also stopped by dropping off his locker room stuff before heading to the local YMCA to work out. I didn't really do anything as I had nothing to work on but did some exercises on Elixir. There wasn't many restaurants open but I got some vermicelli from Le Pho, the Vietnamese restaurant across the street from us which happen to be open. We went home and had ribs which was delicious. :)

Well with my first official blog post out of the way, let discuss my New Year’s resolutions for 2016. #1. Keep a Journal One of the things that annoy me the most about my old journals or blogs is that every single post or entry was dripping with trigger words that only I completely understood yet vague to the point where anyone else reading wouldn’t. This arrangement suited me because at the time, I may have been suffering from an internal conflict and wanted to express myself through an outlet without anyone really understanding or knowing. That would worked I told myself. But sometimes, I just want to be direct and concise. I want to work on expressing my ideas, in written form, and not care what others may think about me. I wanted to finally just be myself. So my plans is to write an open journal. A blog with no frills, no posts that attempt to tip toe around the subject. Just posts that show how I actually felt. And maybe the occasionally random rant. It’s funny because ...

Introspection I have tried numerous times to log my everyday life throughout these journal-like blogs. But to me, it was always difficult to type out what I really want to say, for fear of offending an individual or showing my own vulnerabilities. Not only that, but I would lose interest in it and it would fall into disrepair. But in light of the theme of my new year’s resolutions, of exploring the limits of my comfort zone, I will attempt to maintain a blog of my internal introspection, an inner monologue on my well-being and life in general. No filters. No sugar coating. No bullshit. Just raw emotions Okay, maybe I’m not too sure if it’ll be that raw but I intend for this to be a place for me to speak my mind and rant a little.  A place to keep my thoughts organized and updated. See ya
