It’s me, your friend Barstool Nate.
I don’t think anyone used their real name besides Mo.
Boom, boss loves me and my fake name, great first day at the job.
Ok so that paragraph has nothing to do with why I’m writing this blog.
Shout out to my single homies out there, we good!).
So anyway, that first paragraph is setting the stage wonderfully for what this blog is about- personal growth.
Fuck yes, that’s what I said.
I’ve been doing this job for a LONG time.
Sometimes I feel I’ve written everything there is to be written.
Sometimes I love it, other times I’m like “damn I miss those days”.
Depends on how lonely/depressed I am at the time.
You either understandexactlywhat I mean by that, or you haven’t hit your 30s yet.
That’s right, 35.
But anyway, I wanted to get back to what blogging really is at its core- story telling.
I feel Barstool has sorta gotten away from that.
But I still feel blogging at its core is the best way to tell a story.
So ok god damn I keep getting off track- what is this blog about?
Oh right, personal growth.
As I mentioned, I’m 35 years old now.
In between I’ve mixed in some relationships (none have worked out, sad!
Now, I will say, being bald is beautiful.
Ain’t nothing wrong with being bald.
And I think most balds would prefer to have hair.
While some people reading this would not consider 35 to be old, I sort of do?
A lot of awesome things have happened to me and I do not take them for granted.
It’s that “real life” stuff that keeps me up at night.
Questioning myself, doubting myself, wondering why I am the way I am.
But when I see myself, I am not happy with what I see.
The truth is I barely, if ever, work out.
Before that I got in decent-ish shape in 2017 or so, but that’s it.
The fact of the matter is I hate working out.
It’s half laziness, half indifference.
Also since I broke my foot in May, I have haven’t been able to do much.
So with all that being said, I’ve reached an impasse.
I gotta change things.
I’m not unhappy.
I live a good life.
But I gotta change what I can change before it’s too late.
I need to prioritize…what was that phrase I used earlier?
Oh right, personal growth.
To look better, to feel better, and for overall health.
Plus our muscles are like, disintegrating or something?
And I know a lot of people reading this can relate.
To me it’s just a matter of doing it.
Nothing drastic even happened to make me write this blog.
I’ve worked out 5 times with a trainer, and last night I joined a gym.
I woke up to go to the gym this morning but stayed in bed.
But I woke up for it!
- If I’m working out I’m eating healthy, those will always go hand-in-hand for me.
But weekends I won’t limit myself.
- I’m trying to eat more Omakase.
If you don’t know what Omakase is, it’s fancy sushi.
It can be expensive, but no more expensive than a standard night out at the bar.
I’m trying to go once a week to a new spot.
- I have completely stopped reading.
I used to read all the time, now I read 0% of the time.
This will be the year I read a book.
), it’s not a given I complete this one.
I will try though!
- I’m still not a millionaire and that is embarrassing.
Honestly I’m brave for admitting it.
If you’re old, bald, and fat, you have to be a millionaire.
I’ll let you guys know if I become a millionaire this year.
Professionally I want to be better at work, as I think most people do.
There’s little things I can be better at, including doing more blogs like this.
I’m now 2,000 words into this blog so I’ll let you go.
Thank you and gosh bless,
Eric/E/Nate/The DAWG
PS: I made a TikTok.
I have been planning on copying Jack Mac who has 800,000+ followers.
It’s averybackhanded way of saying anyone can get big on TikTok if they put effort into it.
Jack is the GOAT and deserves all the credit in the world.
I should hop on the Tok too.
New year, new me.
