Good Thoughts As I Head Home

Fridays are a little wak in terms of posting anything I actually want people to read.

I will just use Fridays as a link day, sending people to sweet websites, and balance it with a short, personal update. Weekends are generally lame for posts, but since I am determined to post daily, I want to have content for each day of the week.

CHICO, CALIFORNIA
Performed at Chico State last night and it went well. The best part of my stay in Chico was surely my time spent with Kyle, Heather, Lor, Sarah, and Tazuo. It was good to catch up with them.

The gig was fun. It felt like impromptu stand-up comedy. I went mostly humorous and felt the audience riding along with me.

Chico’s a cute town. I enjoyed my time here, but this is not a place I could settle in. The summers in this region of California are blazing hot and humid. Makes me feel gross.

Tazuo’s doing an invitational slam on June 10. Should bring more quality spoken word to Chico. Not sure where it’s being held, but there will probably be information at ThePoetTazuo.com

YESTERDAY’S POST ON HEALTH
Been getting tremendous response to my post on better health and developing a healthy living regimen. I really appreciate everyone who’s chimed in with advice and personal accounts.

I’d like to clarify that when I said I was developing a 7-year plan, I think some people took that as I planned to wait for 7 years to be healthy. No. Sheesh. I just meant that I should be wholly different and at peak health by the time I am 41 years old. These new habits should be normal within 7 years. This plan started yesterday. I’ve already doubled my water intake. I’ve also been sleeping a lot more, not pushing myself to stay awake. Seven hours of sleep as opposed to 4-6.

I’ve talked to a lot of people and I don’t want to worry so much about my health at 40. If I do this right and pace myself, I should be fine. I have accomplished a lot more difficult things in my life. I can do this.

I am also now convinced that a Master Cleanse is not for me, plus, I feel pretty cleansed whenever I eat right anyway.

I just have to stay set on my sights. I think if I can drop 60 pounds, I’ll feel pretty damn good.

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE POETRY SLAM FINAL
