I've been wanting to shoot more long form disc golf videos for various motivations. I have a decent smartphone, but it just doesn't cut it anymore.
But also it's been nearly impossible to find the good balance of "budget vs. upgrade" for a decent camera, even used.

The crazy thing to me about disc golf is the fact that you have to stay loose nearly at all times until the exact moment you are trying to eject the disc from your hand in a throw. No matter how far you're trying to go.
Like Boyz II Men. Not too hard... not too soft.

Sad that I'll probably never get to own a home in Austin, the place I grew up in. I know to a certain extent, I might need to give up that dream, but damn something about that seems Sucky

I can't be such a coward anymore. I've been such an absolute wet blanket for such a long time and for my own good I've got to toughen the fuck up and stop being so damn soft.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

You know what, these days I'm extra glad I picked up activities like disc golf that don't require the internet. This shit is fucked up and it's fucking people up and it's getting worse.
Just gotta get to the next round so I can move my body throwing my pretty frisbees in nature

Okay sorry I was dramatic. I still hate living on this evil selfish fucking planet, but I can rationalize with it now.
Sometimes it all becomes too real how much time we waste serving billionaire fuck heads when everyone could be living way more comfortably without this neo-feudalism

I'm surprised I've lasted this long. My brain should have taken me out a long long time ago. I'm not really all that fit to live on this stupid fucking goddamned planet.

Got back from my Sunday disc golf league round pretty spent. It was chilly and windy which made Sprinkle Valley that much tougher.
Couldn't decide on a coffee or a nap at first and ultimately chose a coffee but... I should have taken the nap

would it be gluttonous to by some Broderic Prodigy discs after buying a Gyropalooza box? I feel like I've been a good boy this year, and this year was generally pretty shitty so I'm thinking Fuck It

I don't know why playing music has been such a block for me the past few years, I would desperately like to break free of that. Singing in the car/truck isn't doing the trick much anymore.

In the last couple weeks, some strong rumors surface about one or two people potentially leaving Discraft.
Corey Ellis has posted two reels within the last week referring to "Simon Lines" 🤔🤔🤔

If I could just figure out how to make $200 more each week for the next 16 weeks straight, I could pay off one of my loans that bills me $210 each month.
So close... And yet so far

There's a huge part of me that wants to turn off home Internet and all streaming stuff for a little while. But I know that would be pretty tough in some ways.

I was feeling kind of stomach sick this morning but I was able to work through it and still got out for it round.
Didn't play to my expectations, didn't stick to my "play for par" plan on all par4s, but overall I still feel okay about 12th/25 players.

Doing a tiny itty bitty little bit of writing again and
names of characters are so hard because I don't really want to name characters the same names of the people I know. But I've known a lot of people so it kind of has to happen?

I've been in and out of the bathroom since 4am this morning... I don't think the second round is going to happen for me.
I've never had to DNF before... 😭😑

I'm in a 9 way tie for 3rd out of 25.
The lead is -4. The next course is Roy G. Anything can happen there for MA3. I'll have some work to do to get to 1st, but my ultimate goal is top 3.
Gonna try to get up early to warm up more properly, I'm gonna need it to keep up with the distance

The tournament I'm playing today and tomorrow is a shotgun start both rounds. I don't mind that, it's a smaller tournament. Prefer starting on 1 but whatever.
Except that we have 5 players per card 😑 which frankly, feels kind of silly and unnecessary. I guess here we go.

field work objectives:
work on a shorter "run up" and standstills.
Sprinkle Valley does not have long runways for tee boxes. And a tournament I'm playing soon at Circle C is going to be a similar situation. So I gotta get dialed in on less and no steps.
