(Oct.10 - Nov. 10)
I'm starting to get used to being bald. Isn't that interesting...
It's 11 days post-month one and I'm currently situated in Estro County, Florida on a job working with BD Global NCAA basketball as a contractor. I'm on what I like to call a work-cation (I'm carrying the local unfinished production jobs with me on the go to be edited in the hotel room and then during most of the day I'll be working with Prepspin to cover and stream basketball games.
Really it's nothing new, I was doing this kind of work as average as someone working their 9-5 job. The only difference being is that I have time-freedom and flexibility as well as a schedule to up-keep.
There are certain disciplines you have to set for yourself as a contractor/ independent business owner and having just recently tested the "Average" job field again - as a fear tactic to myself in regaining that passion I felt I was lacking/ lost sight of. But getting back to you is the key - remember ATTITUDE is everything and you have a choice every morning on how you're going to Choose to engage the world.
Today I'm bringing a positive - coffee filled super-me to the table. Once I get the coffee that is.
In the mean time, take a gander at my first month bald.
I'll be working on week 5-6 in the next couple days!
(October 27 - November 1)
I'm starting into my 4th week/ first month of being bald.
Surprising how I feel very much the same - yet psychologically I'm starting to feel as though I'm coming into a new presence-of-self.
It was difficult to decipher for about a week; something felt off (Between Business Changes, Moving, my First Marriage Anniversary, and Family Stuff + Issues). I didn't take much notice until I woke up one morning and looked in the mirror on November. 2nd I believe it was -
I felt a new sense-of-self and self-awareness.
My: id, ego, and super-ego (I, Me, and self - I believe is the translation).
I'm definitely transitioning into a new sense-of-self; I'm not ashamed once-so-ever to be bald, I'm not concerned to be seen. My head can't make up it's mind on rather or not I should wear a beanie (it's cold and my scalp demands covering, but then no matter how thin or think the beanie, profuse sweating ensues. This is a most daunting task to figure out).
I went and sat in a College class at the suggestion of a mentor; I did so and was pleasantly surprised how much more I retained now that there is no academic-demand that I do well, complete all the assignments on-time and put off social exercises in relationship management.
College 'is and was' a juggle of time, money and resources. I look back and realize that education is Important...But IF I had the sense of self-awareness and knowledge I possess NOW - THEN.
I'd have taken my money and started a business instead. Entrepreneurship is a much more valuable Life-Skill than learning to work for someone else for the rest of your life.
Some may desire to debate that - and to those who would bother I would say: I'm not paid to listen to opinions - talk to me about how you're going to help manage my book deal and you've got my ear friend.
Anyway, I've been re-evaluating many social principals and come to realize that I really don't need anything thats been sold to me over the course of my life. I believe between that and moving across town - I need more prestige and less shit. I grew out of hobbies - and never sold my stuff for
re-investable capitol. Don't be a pack-rat. Stuff will be a burden on you if you really want more out of life.
I plan on doing a monthly re-cap video versus a weekly vlog for the 4th week of every month. Then Once I get to my 1 year marker; I'll only have to sort through 12 Compiled Vlogs versus 52 weekly groupings.
The first month will also be when I start posting to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Digg to name a few. If you've got other ideas on where to post, shoot me a message.
