Stoked!

Last big skate of the summer/reunion with friends living aboard ending in a Chinese resteraunt. Uber home and my wife has ordered a posh curry.
Two in one night and filmed a trick

Kinda stoked in that for the first time ever I had overidden all the things that stopped me in the past to start a portrait painting. Drawn many but never tried painting a portrait, I always thought that if I didn’t have an interesting angle or the right idea then there’s no point even starting. I’m learning alot of about myself and finding ways to just do stuff and stop the many adhd related procrastinating excuses that always stopped me, so just getting on and trying is a BIG step.

I had an idea to use something a bit different and while it’s awkward It’s going ok, not as good as I hoped but it’s not put me off doing more, I can only get better at honing this technique.

Had to present some project concepts to about ten people yesterday at work. Didn’t have a panic attack. Got a couple of laughs. Actually sort of enjoyed it?

I’ve avoided public speaking as much as possible the last 6 or 7 years and it’s been a huge hindrance professionally, so this felt like quite a big step forward. It sort of broke the seal in my brain that it doesn’t need to be this huge thing, it’s literally just talking in front of people :person_shrugging:t3:

Where are you going?

Off to the Dolomites, northern Italy, went in 2023 and it was great minus a colleague breaking his collarbone on the last run of the first day.

Saw jeru way back and he just moaned that no one wanted to hear his new shit and just wanted to hear stuff from Sun Rises and Wrath :rofl:

Hopefully he’s given up the battle by now. As long as he does Come Clean I’m happy.

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t….Pretty sure he ended the night on it and everyone went fucking nuts. Big fella too. But I’m only 5’7 on a tall day. He was decent from what I remember which isn’t a lot!

Spent a couple of hours tonight sorting out work shit on my task board (Monday) - have a 121 tomorrow and I know they want to see this.

Like a priority list to work through.

Feel less anxious. So that’s good.

Just coming into busy season and getting a lot of shit thrown at me.

Constant fucking problems to fix on teams all day ery day

Nice one Ned. Working in evenings is balls but feels good when you’re getting a head start on tomorrow.

Just seen that one of my all time favourite bands, the namesake of my username, Bear vs Shark, are playing 4 UK dates next year for the first time ever.

My absolute bucket list band who I never thought I’d get a chance to see. Stoked is an understatement
