Basic2Badass Transformation
Приєднався 1 сер 2020
The basic person and the badass represent end points on a scale that indicates progression towards the uncommon. Being uncommon is definitively badass while being “common” is definitely basic. It is OKAY to be basic, and it is OKAY to be badass.
Transitioning from basic to badass requires a thoughtful approach, attention to detail, research, and more than anything, positive action. A New York Times bestselling author IS A SINGULAR BADASS. For our purposes, being a singular badass requires being in the top 1% of humans in any endeavor. A certified badass, on the there hand, requires being in the top 1% of humans who actively participate in a given category. Running a marathon makes you a singular badass. Being in the top 1% of marathon runners makes you a certifiable badass.
The idea is “adventure” and “challenge completion,” to celebrate your accomplishments, not to make you feel worthless. ANY progression towards ANY goal, ANY movement towards the uncommon, should be lauded.

Day 12: Nanowrimo 2020 #nanowrimo
Переглядів 133 роки тому
It’s been a few days of busyness. I stopped writing pad got back to it. I just Kristen 16,000 words and hope to get another day caught back up tonight. The story seems to be coming along all right but I’m sure even in this early stage I have incongruities that I need to work out. In the future I know I’m gonna have to find a way to keep track of the plaza a little better.

I did not get to my word goal yesterday, day 5, But I’m hoping to be on track as of today. Looks like one out of two of my Nana Remo riding buddies are on track. I might have to encourage them.

This is day three of Nana remote and I am feeling fairly confident. I am at about 4000 words and still have a couple hours left in the night. I’m taking the day off from work up until this point but who knows do a little tonight. 1000 more which would be great. Today’s election day so there are tons of distractions.

There are many options for publishing short fiction. Befo...
Bada$$ Keto French Toast
Переглядів 414 роки тому
I’m the worst at reminding people to subscribe. Subscribe! Warning, I am not a health expert, I do not know if this is a healthy recipe. I’m inclined to think it is hyper processed keto junk. Stick with whole foods. However! If you have a hankering for some French toast that is just as quick and easy as actual French toast, this is a decent recipe. Also, I am not a chef so I won’t promise good ...

I delayed this video for about a month. Now that I’m in Facebook jail, I can finally release it and try to recruit people to do this challenge with me. Not on Facebook though. I suppose I’ll be going to full in on Twitter.
October 2020 Monon Trail Thru Hike success! (Attempt 2) #hiking #thruhike #Indiana
Переглядів 174 роки тому
2nd time is a charm! Look, I’ve hiked long distances on the Appalachian Trail. The pain I felt after both of these attempts is definitely comparable to the pain I felt after my longest hike on the Appalachian Trail... which is to say, brutal. Ezra came along with me as well as his boyfriend Ray. Ezra on both attempts. Yeah his time, Ezra is the one who was emotional at the end (I was last time)...
How to Fail a Challenge

We failed. Also, bad audio. That’s something I’ll have to work on. Failing a challenge doesn’t mean you have to permanently resign from trying. Failure is a huge part of success. Visit www.basic2badass.com

Crazy things happen when you challenge someone like Abby Crawford to run a mile. She might just make you run a mile per day for 30 straight days! Challenge accepted. The second part of the challenge is a hydration challenge. Abby is steeped in the culture of athletics and high school wrestling. Staying hydrated is important. Hydration challenge accepted. Abby was featured on my vlog here: ua-ca...

Challenge 2: film and edit a UA-cam video. Www.basic2badass.com While this is an open challenge for all comers, this challenge is for you, Michael. Time to learn basic video ~George’s note: It’s been a rough couple weeks. Like... I want to give up on everything. The problem is, I’ve done that before and it leads nowhere. The only thing to do is KEEP MOVING FORWARD. On the other hand, my life is...
Jesus Christ that was a bad day. Fucking got worse.
Another slow-mo dog run! 😂 I've yet to read any steampunk, but have always thought steampunk art looks so cool.
Slow mo Saint Bernards are the best
So cool way of thinking reflecting on what is enjoyment. I wonder if I may be similar. Cute kid and awesome dog (loved the sound(effect?) When slo-mo dog. Anyways, I have only read Jim Butcher's steam punk. His boat descriptions were awesome ! Will be fun to follow you on this journey!
I have a bunch of Jim Butcher books I haven’t gotten to. I should read them.
That slow-mo dog run, gave me the biggest smile I've had today 😁. Good luck with the novel, man.
It's 21:19 Norwegian time and I have not yet written 1 word. I think the people you compare with are not norm. Also, Patrick Rothfuss is my god. He wrote and revised his debut nobel for 13 years before deeming it finished. I think that there are Brandons, kings, rothfuss and butchers of the world each with their own style. You do you and I'll cheer ya on.
I love Patrick Rothfuss. Got my daughter that book too. Hopefully she reads it.
Good luck from a random stranger from Norway
Thank you!
Good luck on the writing, hopefully you make it through this time! Thats a cute doge!
Thank you!

Kind of fudged the reading a bit because I read from a picture of the publication rather than the original
Ive been really into politics and elections since 2012 when i voted for the first time. I hadnt looked into the governors race too much this year because of what the margins are expected to be. I just took a detailed quiz on ISideWith to see who i had the most similar views with and it was really interesting my results! Thats cool you go in those two papers!
I’m ostentatiously libertarian. I’ll always bias on the side of individual liberty and cooperation through markets and not state force
Yes, the bread shows it has 0 net carbs and zero added sugar but the bread should be avoided on keto because the ingredients contain modified food starch, wheat gluten, oat fiber wheat which is not on Keto... According to Virtalhealth... "for most people to remain in nutritional ketosis, they need to avoid almost all food that contains wheat, barley, or rye. Gluten is a gastro-intestinal irritant that in the most prominent cases presents as celiac disease." and yuck I cannot stand sugar-free syrup.
I may be convinced this isn’t keto but not from this argument. Also, celiacs disease presents as celiacs, I don’t see how this could present as celiacs without having celiacs.
I don’t think I’ll buy more. I prefer Whole Foods anyways
Amazing video!
No talking at the end huh
Fudge, bad edit
0:54 the combination of the AT footage with that music made me want to hitchhike to Georgia and lie in the rain
Good Job guys! I have no clue if I could run a mile... I remember I used to run in NY when I was trying to get ready for the Army.
30 days from today you can.
