Whew! We are nearing the 50 post mark, at the time of this writing we are ~42 published posts. When I launched this blog I challenged myself to write 100 posts in the same way Mr. Beast advised new YouTubers to publish 100 videos before worrying about anything else.

Incubus once sang “Life is a roller coaster and I am not strapped in” and that’s how I’ve been feeling except that a roller coaster is at least on a track and that’s not how my life feels–I feel like I’m living in chaos and I can’t figure out how to put my life in order.

Greetings and welcome to 2025! Let’s take a look at how my blog did in December 2024.

It’s possible you might find some wisdom on this blog, but mostly I’m just an ordinary man asking questions about my life and then trying to find answers–which is hopefully helpful and relatable for others, because most of us are ordinary; not gurus, not Tony Stark, not some superhuman in the spotlight. We are just ordinary people.

I read all these blogs about all these people retiring early, and I’m not gonna lie–I’m jealous!

On my bucket list for ~15 years has been “Run A Marathon.”
