Just realized that I can clock sex on my watch as a HIIT workout and it will track the time, my HR, calories burned and even estimate the sweat loss. my wife doesn’t think this is as funny as I do
it’s been so long since I had a alcohol that I don’t really remember what sleep was like before, but I do remember the sleep improvements being one of the most immediate and dramatic improvements. As well as sense of taste, and mental clarity — it felt like I got out of a fog. I’m at the point now where everything is so easy that even if I could go back to alcohol, I wouldn’t want to. I see people hungover and I’m like “wtf? You just wasted an entire day.” I also feel like I have a lot more fun now, because I still do the same stupid shit, I can just do it a bit more safely and 100% more legal. If I blow shit up and hurt myself, at least I’m not too drunk to drive myself to the hospital. that being said, being sober is easy for me, and amongst people who are sober that’s not really something I’m allowed to say out loud. It’s supposed to be a struggle (it is for most people). Sobriety is supposed to be a “one day at a time” thing that you fight for. For me, it’s just like… I’m right handed. Some people are gay. I don’t fucking drink. Who gives a shit? For anyone who is curious about how it feels, I’m completely in favor of everyone trying a month without alcohol so you can get it out of your system and see if you enjoy that way of living better. But I am also vehemently against people saying that not drinking is the way to go and alcohol is the devil, just as I am against people ostracizing those who don’t drink. Just get along. Shit, we can barely figure out each other’s pronouns anymore. Let’s start with that I guess.
Parker and Stone could be the next Rogers and Hammerstein if they felt like it. The South Park movie and this musical prove they've got chops like a motherfucker. Book of Mormon is *shockingly* good.
Good to hear. My wife and I are spending this weekend in NYC, and I was debating getting Book of Mormon tickets.
Next time just tell your wife that when Usain Bolt bolt finishes in under 10 seconds, everybody cheers, so you're just trying to emulate him.
I've been hearing this all of my adult life, and I never feel any better when I stop drinking. "You know, Bandit, you don't sleep well because you drink too much." You know what happens when I stop drinking? I get insomnia . I can't remember waking up and feeling energized and refreshed. I never want to get out of bed. It almost feels like some kind of huge scam/ prank being played on me. "Oh yeah, Bandit, you will TOTALLY feel refreshed if you stop drinking/ start working out/ stop eating ______/ go to bed at 9PM/ etc. for the next few months! You'll never want to go back!" A few months later: "LOL! You fell for that AGAIN! What a dumbass!" That's how it feels to me.
Seriously. I’m currently weening back on caffeine. I’ve gotten down to a cup and a half before and I was staying asleep better and had more energy to an extent but still useless by 3-4 o’clock for the most part. At my heights if I went cold turkey I’d have horrendous vision blurring migraines. I’d go back to my original amounts of caffeine just to stop them. Caffeine ain’t nothing to fuck with.
After a few months?! I started sleeping better by the 3rd night and I'd be surprised if Dixie was drinking more than me. A lot of it could just be genetics. My younger brother isn't a drinker at all and just plain sleeps like shit. He's been to all kinds of sleep therapists but they can't figure it out. Close friend of mine is a pretty heavy drinker and gets a solid 8 hours like clockwork even during "Dry January"
I was similar before I found out I had sleep apnea. I’d go to bed at 2am and get up around 6 have no restful sleep in between. I fucking hated sleep. Then I met my wife, who refused to stay with me because I snored like a freight train. Got checked out. Found out I was almost dying in my sleep nightly. I sleep with a cpap now and it changed my life for the better. I wake up feeling amazing. Even if it makes me look like a fucking dufus when I’m bed.
Yep... I'm in the middle of that right now. My recent cardiac condition was 100% attributed to undiagnosed sleep apnea.
In Oakland they’re kee-you-pons. In Philly and Baltimore they’re Coupowns. In Bompton they’re Boupons.
