March 2021 – Tao and Zen

Wednesday, March 10th 2021…got my lens today…

Ive taken a first step towards my future business, but I have to keep up with my current business. Lots of stuff to do tomorrow. My FOID card is expiring soon, ugh. The website is very simple but odd. Doesn’t anyone change their cell phone? This is the second time that I am having difficulties with a changed cell phone that is linked to my email address and 2 factor authentication. What a pain in the ass. I will have to suppress Legal Zoom tomorrow morning also. I never should have done that but whats done is done. Now i have to follow thru with getting rid of it.

I started meditation with Sam Harris and HOF breathing as a daily practice, in addition to exercise and finishing up with a cold shower. Now if can just incorporate the Star Spangled Banner in 😉 We shall see. I am going to have to get up earlier so i can get all my stuff in.

Sunday, March 7th 2021…I’m still trying to figure it all out…

I have a camera that I’m trying to figure out. It’s complex and is not what I thought. I don’t know… maybe i have to watch a YouTube video or two. I’ve bought a couple of books and I’m no technical slouch, but wtf? You’d think it would be fairly simple. Maybe I’ll join a board and leverage someone else’s experience. It’s a beast for sure. I took a couple of pictures of tonight’s sunset. Very pretty. It really makes me appreciate the iPhone, it’s engineering and simplicity.

It won’t be long now, today was a high of 51. Come on spring. We are talking about starting to ride the trail this year. Below is my new, redesigned logo.

Monday, March 1st 2021… it came in like a lamb…

Today I started my metamorphosis at 5am. I started with my breath training, riding the octane with my mouth closed. I am trying to lower my resting heart rate by not exceeding my aerobic/anerobic threshold (it was a total pain in the ass trying to keep my heart rate at 121 bpm) during exercise and its especially difficult because I am motivated by my “MyZone” heart rate monitor. I finished up my pre-work morning with Oatmeal and a shower, ending with cold water for 30s (it really sucked). Oh, and I wasn’t so hot with my diet on my way into work – thank you very much… (I’m still human). I will admit I did have a boatload of energy. I went in to work today to send a tape to our VAR, I designed my logo for my new Photography business and even created a tag line for it. I’ll put it below. I have my camera ready, I’m downloading firmware updates for it, my everyday lens will be in soon. I still think I need another subject lens. I have to get my light setup ready too.

This is what I had envisioned for my business logo. We shall see where it goes. I worked till noon, drove home, stopped for 5$ Sushi Monday at a fav store of mine, ate lunch, and worked again till 5:30pm. My Day.
