Glutton for Punishment
SSS (Subconscious Self Spankings)
In the name of retaining the premise of this blog, we must keep the humor rolling to an extent and find ways to bring back the short form swag.
Still in need of some vintage niner merch so may look through the glass before upending the henny flask this sunday - happy friday. WE’RE ABOUT TO DIVE
Keep your eyes down field.
When your primary objective is scoring and winning, the field is your chapel. No matter how much swag you have, everyone else is wearing cleats and pads too. Every play is your next confession in the booth, exposing you publicly, especially when you’re a quarterback and you’re required to drop back every play. Now we could rant on the importance of the back field, receivers, and offensive line but that is not you. That is team. Quick note however, having that be one organism is crucial to scaling beyond stadiums. If you’re not the quarterback, be the best damn player you can for them and everyone else who’s playing beside you.
Snapping back, we have to get the ball out of our hands, we have to be fully capable and effective. If you see yourself operating at the highest levels of competition then every play counts. You have to be the one who has the oversight of the field, knows what play to call next, has the patience and the urgency to dish the ball off quickly into the flat or allow the play to develop and throw long once you see the coverage break.
These are fundamentals to winning, if we look at the undesired outcomes, the situations where we call the wrong play, delay the game, cause our team to foul, all the various effects that have root cause, we can see areas of improvement. This is what lets us step onto the field for the following drive with foresight and anticipation.
Preparation is key, hence the field being the confession booth and the chapel. You can act as you please in this world, that’s the reality. You may be prevented from achieving, you may have no obstacles at all, in either situation, you can act in wrong and in right, the polarities of this are extreme but for simplicity and reference, you can step into any chapel before and after your actions regardless of how you act in life.
It’s how we treat the chapel that is everything. How we are able to be conduits of grace, of divinity, while being winners. Allowing your truth to be your authenticity and your life be a reflection of all you are. It’s what we want so how do we step into chapels being what we want?
So if we want to step into the chapel of pure truth and return to life, then we have to stop giving a fuck about what anyone thinks and recognize the predicament we are in. I mean does it really affect you if you keep your ass puckered? YES. IT DOES.
When we pucker, we refrain. This is detriment at the core. It’s why the world is the way it is and it’s why our life is the way it is. The extent at which we wallow in fear and allow our minds to spank us into submission, we see the truth in the mirror.
The chapel is you, your body, your vessel. It’s no extremity that we are unfamiliar with, it is the same breath that has gotten us to this next step.
Gluttony
Now for me in my own personal life, I must admit that it is always easier to step to the podium and preach than it is to walk the line. I think that is a majority of humanity, which is evident of the lack of harmony in the marketplace but that’s another subject.
It’s funny to admit that I can preach better than I can balance the slack.
What’s funny to me about it is how easily I could turn into Anakin and side with the sith, promoting get rich propaganda and various streams of internet income from the dark side. Side Note: The internet is star wars and if we look at the Jedi’s and Sith’s, the truth is, both had light sabers. No different than modern America where our population is exceeded by weaponary (Hell Yeah).
I am a glutton for punishment, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing on a day to day basis. If I wanted to promote content and go viral, give me 30 days and it’s done. To me, I hate the internet - when it comes to media - ironically. There is good and bad, then there is disinformation and deception. All is amplified by immediate gratification. We can deplete dopamine or we can replenish our chapel. Choice is yours.
The beauty of life is that free will choice, to avoid the continuing ranting, I will reference why I am a glutton for punishment and why I believe that those SSS*’s are critical to long term success.

For me, I like hard shit. It’s what builds. Now does that mean I love hard shit? No. I just know what it is from a long term perspective. Sacrificing immediate gratification and swallowing big pills is not easy. It would be nice to see friends more often, focus on strengthening those relationships more immediately but that’s bullshit.
I love my friends, which is why I don’t engage them. I have no power. I’m focused on generating immediate results in my personal life through vehicles that have tangibility. If I have nothing to present to my friends in the present moment tangibly, then why would I waste our remaining life on drinks and unhealthy meals. Again, I’ll admit that it is important to do this for your friends, once every few months or four weeks, it’s up to you and you shouldn’t be a hermit to the world but you should be contributing to the greater good of the world.
Now for me… FUCK. I went against the short form humor I initially intended but that’s the beauty of free will, I don’t give a fuck to fix anything prior to this line nor reframe anything I’ve shared.
My life interests are simple and align with those long term friends who I love and hold dear. At present, I have limited offerings to them, but I envision the days ahead.
These people have helped shaped my interests in life, it is me who has been insistent on chasing rocks to climb and learning my lessons time and time again. It has been fun to be an understudy in various fields, but you learn quickly how much more you can yield if you step up to center, snap the ball, and keep your eyes down field.
I hope you become one of the greats. Enjoy the Show 🫡
