My laptop hates me

I didn’t write anything yesterday. So, todays entry will be twice as long. I made a deal with myself, and I intend on keeping that deal. I would hate to let myself down. I know what I can be like.

The reason I skipped yesterday was equal parts laziness, equal parts time restraints and equal parts “nobody is going to tell me not to not write”. But I am writing today and that is the main thing. I am a huge fan of YouTuber Matt D’Avella. In one of his videos, he spoke about the key to his discipline. The idea he came up with was the two-day rule. For the record, I am not sure if he devised this idea entirely by himself or if it is based directly from something else. Honestly, I am too lazy to check. Hey, there goes that laziness again.

The two-day rule means that you can’t let yourself take more than two days off from a habit, work etc. Its prefect for people like us, who don’t currently have a nine to five job. That’s why I am writing this now and currently dreading how this post has to be twice as long. That’s like two blog posts in one.

I love Matt D’Avella. I want to be friends with Matt D’Avella. I found him when I was looking on YouTube to find out about minimalism. It turns out he is a minimalist and even directed two documentary films about minimalism. It is where I discovered The Minimalists; a podcast/author duo. It is where I discovered Ryan Holiday and stoicism. By the looks of it, I owe Matt a great deal. I may want to stop before I get too emotional. I don’t want to cry in front of you because I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.

I went to that wrestling show I was talking about on Friday night. I had a lovely time. It was the debut event in a new venue they are now calling home. I can see why. It is nearly perfect for that sort of event. When you think of underground wrestling or even when you see underground wrestling in film and TV, you picture some dingy, grey warehouse. That was basically what was presented. It was very cool.

I had to take the night off from work to go to the show. Id don’t just mean this work, but I also am currently working as a stagehand in an amateur drama play in my local theatre. I am having a wonderful time. The play is called Tuesdays with Morrie. It is based on a memoir of the same name. It is a lovely play. It is funny, heart-breaking, and philosophical. You know me and my philosophy.

I have to come clean right now. My laptop hates me, and I can’t write anymore without issues constantly cropping up. It’s incredibly frustrating and I hate it. I am going to cut this short, for now. I may pick it up later.

Until then, thank you for reading and thank you for your time.
