Play Games

I enjoy games like Elden Ring, currently I’ve been playing a lot of Absolum. Love a good RPG game here and there, definitely needs to be a bit difficult. Shooters are fun, but I mostly prefer Marvel Rivals, or Overwatch these days.

Being Amongst People I care About

Family, friends, co-workers, but only the ones I enjoy. I love chatting about mundane and funny things about life, love, work and culture. It’s fun to get many different perspectives, they help me develop my own, which I hope to be well rounded.

The conversations I have, I remember them all. I enjoy them, sometimes people think I don’t because I love to debate, but how can you better understand anything without understanding another person’s point of view.

Running

I used to despise it, but what I found that I love, and like about it is that I get to tour the city from my own 2 feet. It’s a means to stay in shape, get outside, and burn some calories.

Being able to see people, and how the city slowly changes. Watching how encampments move and operate around the city in order to stay compliant with parking enforcement.

I saw the city change as the pandemic eventually hit, but how it also ultimately changed the lives of so many, so quickly. I couldn’t tell you how many RV’s were in the city when I first started running, around 2018, but that number seemed like it had a massive jump after 2020.

It was also very interesting seeing people sleeping in really nice cars, not knowing if they would ever rebound and end up back in a home.

I watched a close friend wonder if his businesses would be around after the Pandemic.

Writing

I’ve always loved it. I gave it up for sports, love and career. I find that I am gravitating back towards it. Similarly to talking, I get to express my feelings and thoughts.

I found I like to share my experience’s with people in order to help them with the limited time we have on this blue marble. I wish I spent more time with it when I was younger as my teachers thought I had a knack, but things have a way of working itself out.

Watching Comedy TV/Movies

I think a lot of what has driven me lately is my enjoyment of watching a comedy show or movie. It’s great to laugh, but also, it gives me ideas of how to bring enjoyment to the people I love being around.

I like to entertain, I love seeing people laugh, can’t think of anything better. It’s nice to have things to laugh about, especially when there’s so many things to be sad about.

I love when others also provide that same energy. How could you not have a good time when everyone is smiling and laughing?
