Thoughts

Stumbled across this penguin today – apparently a story about a specific penguin from a 2007 documentary called Encounters From the End of The World that has been living rent free in my head.

In the documentary, this lone penguin decided not to go to the feeding grounds with the group he’s walking with or go back to the colony, instead he decides to just walk into the distance towards the mountains some 70km – as the narrator puts, “it walks towards a certain death, but why”.

And, while the real reason for it probably sad (disorientation or injury), I think it represents something that is a great reminder for how to live your life: you dreams and curiosity should not be discounted in comparison to a meaningless life of marching on. Even if you end up worse for it, the act of acting on your beliefs is a practice of living in and of itself.

Another win this week but another messy game. I think the offense is starting to look good, but the defense is still super out of sync.

Regardless, grateful for another win!

Went to Logan’s Alley to watch the Lions/Bills game and it was horrible – Lions got absolutely steamrolled on defense and started the game down 21-0.

Something really has to change for me to get the hope back. Only optimistic point was that we were down 3 starting OL and the offense still looked pretty good.

On the bright side, our Lions parlay hit.

This is a space for everything — both to stay organized and be messy with thoughts, opinions, and everything else.

Hoping to use this to create a log for my life and that it can grow over time. Ideally, some day it can have all my favorites, inspiration, fleeting thoughts and everything in-between.

Anything before this post is back-dated to share some of my favorite things.
