Went out for a walk after being cooped up all week. The weather is beautiful today. Birds are chirping and flowers are blooming. So much beauty to take in today.
I was excited and ready to binge some Disney+ today only to be upset that it wasn’t working. Then I realized that today is the 23rd and it’s not officially available until tomorrow. 🤦♂️🙄
As someone that grew up without HD video, it’s hard for me to consider the decision by Apple, Netflix, and YouTube to only provide standard definition video as bad news. If providing only standard definition video helps with potential bandwidth issues then it’s a good thing. Would you like to have some video or no video at all?
I’m really excited that Disney+ is finally coming to Germany tomorrow. We’re already signed up and preordered and ready to start watching. I’m curious how much nostalgia will hit me once I start going through some of the classics. 😃
I have worked remote before and have the opportunity to, occasionally, work from home at my current job. However, being forced to work from home is something entirely new. After one week I already feel the isolation seeing in. Even with my family here it’s a weird feeling.
I want to give a big thank you to @manton and the rest of the micro.blog team for helping me the past couple of days to get my account configured. I managed to misconfigure something on the DNS side for my domain, but they helped me through it and everything is now running smoothly. 😃
Now that everything is properly configured on micro.blog there’s no excuse to start posting more. It’s really nice to own my own domain again and control my content. 🙂
I’m a bit excited that I finally talked myself into setting up a micro.blog site. I have been wanting to do this since January but keep putting it off. Since setting it up, I have been tying to think of something clever to have as my first post. However, I am not that clever so here are some lame words to fill the empty space for my first post. 😃
Day by Day
I sat down to write this on Father’s Day but obviously that didn’t happen. It felt like an appropriate time but I let myself become overwhelmed and afraid to put words down. Then July 2 came and went. That day is special to me as it marked 5 years since Shannon told me that we were having a baby.
I sometimes feel that it’s not ok for me to talk about certain things, such as emotions, because I am a guy. That’s just the environment I grew up in and have always accepted. My dad has tried to get me to open up before but it still felt awkward. However, I feel that it’s time to share some of the emotions that I go through in hopes that it can help others that may be dealing with the same things that I am.
Getting Started (Again)
What is it about a blank page that is so intimidating? That little blinking cursor so taunting?
For as long as I can remember I have had this desire to write. I’ve never been good with words or grammar, but for some reason I have this urge to write them down and put my thoughts on paper, or digital canvas. However, whenever I think of writing, my stomach turns into knots and I feel some slight anxiety building up and I shy away from it.
