What's up guys? And welcome back to the Unhinged Ginge. took a nice long break there, but yeah, I needed it. I needed it. I was trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go with this and what I was doing and I've been doing a lot of inner work and stuff and I was just like, yeah, I don't know man. I've just been, um, been figuring my shit out, which has been really solid. And I needed that break. I've done so much inner work in the last eight weeks. It's really incredible and there's some really big shit on the horizon. I don't know if any of you can feel it or not, but something's changing. Like there's a shift happening. I can feel it. Some of my other friends can feel it. we're about to step into something. I think a lot of us millennials and shit, I think we've kind of just hit this like enough is enough place in our lives and are understanding that we've been on the fucking hamster wheel too long and are stepping into our power and are just, I think overall just ready to take our lives back. There's a lot of us feel like that. I know for fucking sure I do. And there's all, handful of people around me that have been speaking the same thing. So, it's good. It's good. It's really good. been listening to a lot of new music with a ton of positive affirmations and just like the proper hrtz, getting my frequency on the right level, doing all sorts of shit. I've been putting in a lot of work on this side of things with my mental health and. Healing for a long time now, but something, this last year, something in 2025. 2025 was a lot. I got fired. I broke my shoulder. I lost some people, that there's some tragedies, some good stuff, some bad stuff. You know, it's just, I mean, it was a fucking year. It was a fucking year, but it did, Like light a fire under my ass in a way just to start focusing on what's important and just get my shit together. but it's good. It's good. Something big's happening. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I just feel it. I feel like my nervous system feels it. Everything feels it, and it's, it's fucking good. And I hope that it comes out there to all of you too, because I fucking know it. If you're open to receive it, you absolutely will. It's crazy. This year's gonna be fucking wild. I'm not one of those people who's like, oh, new year, new me, blah, blah, blah. Like, I'm gonna do this. I usually, when it comes to resolutions and shit and like blah, blah, blah, I usually mark that shit on my birthday, which is in April, and I'm like, okay, this is my new year. What am I gonna do with this year of my life? Not like, oh, it's January 1st, let's fucking get it going. But for whatever reason during this break that I took from recording, I just kind of. Felt like an importance of documenting this year in such a way of like writing everything down, seeing what progress is getting made, making a list of things that I wanna accomplish as opposed to just having a New Year's resolution. I wanna have several things that happen that just are, just change the game a little bit and invest so much more time in myself. So much less time in fucking doom scrolling, and, and just, and binging. TV and shit. I'm just, I've been so detached from things because I just don't wanna deal with shit. And I think that's how a lot of us are. So new stuff with the pod, that we're gonna be doing this year. I'm gonna have some guests on, we're gonna be telling stories. I am, you are going to get the New Orleans chapter of things. I'm not gonna just like drop off the life, like ending up in New Orleans and then not telling you what happened because a lot of crazy shit happened there. But I was there for 10 years. It was my longest chapter as an adult anywhere that I've ever lived. So a lot of, and also once I got divorced, I told you guys like everything just kind of just like, it's just like a sea of shit. Things just got crazier and crazier and New Orleans has so many fucking stories, that are just absolutely absurd. It's hard for me to put them in any type of chronological order or order of importance or anything, any type of structure. Because my life there wasn't structured. So why would I try to structure my podcast around something that, that's not real. That's not what happened. So I'm gonna have some guests on, we're gonna talk about life and shit and whatever, and that's where you're gonna be getting more of these stories and more of the in depth, like nonsense that happened is just gonna be like they normally do. When I'm at the bar, when I'm talking to my guests, it's just. Conversation and they organically come out and it just feels so much. Better than me just doing this with you guys right now because like, I mean, you gotta be honest with yourself at some point, and I'm great at talking to people. I am not great at talking to a fucking camera. I might get great at it. No one's saying that I won't. And if I keep working at it, I'm sure that I will. But as of right now. I am willing to admit to myself that I would enjoy this more, and I think you guys would enjoy this more if, I was bouncing some shit off somebody So that's what's gonna be going on this year. Oh no man, it's just really good to be alive. I'm just really happy and for no reason, like just because I'm alive. I guess that is the reason. There is a reason, not for no reason. There's plenty of reasons. That's the thing. I've been practicing a lot of gratitude and oh, buddy Daniel that I told you guys about, the guy who got me the, the skateboard and then I met when I moved to Virginia, the fucking love bug. He is doing so good. He's also going through a journey right now that is really incredible and he's just trying to change his life and make everybody's life around him better. And it's so cool to watch. And my girl Ema up here, she got promotion all like on January 1st, and she's doing something that is so much more aligned with who she is. And my girl, Meg, she just, she's in a band. They're doing her photo shoots like her. Everything is aligning with who she is and what she wants. That's exactly what's happening over here too. I just went on a tangent. I completely forgot what got me there, I want this to be organic and I want it to be what I am, what I know I'm good at while I'm learning how to get better at the other stuff, and me in conversation is better than me trying to talk to a wall and pretend like I can see all of you guys. I really respect the people that are good at that. I, however, just, I'm learning whatever. So yeah, I cannot wait to find out how this year's gonna turn out and you guys get to come with me'cause I'm documenting all of it. Not all, not all of it. It, I'm gonna pay more attention. We got some big trips coming up. going to New Orleans for, uh, Easter and which coincides with my 40th birthday and I'm really excited. I'm really excited. I'm so grateful. That's what it was. That's what I was talking about. I saw a comedian recently that said if she can find her way back to where she's like, what the fucking point was then she doesn't have to take her meds. Come through ADHD. You don't own me. So it's gratitude. That's what I was talking about. That's why everything's great. My buddy Daniel has been doing his gratitudes and, I've been doing mine a lot recently too. So it's all, there's all these wonderful people. We've all just been, I'm just so fucking grateful for everything. I'm grateful that I got to wake up in a bed this morning. I'm grateful that I have heat in my house, food in my fridge. A person that loves me. Multiple people that fucking love me. A job, a dog that loves, I don't know. I mean, everything, like if I'm finally getting to the point where I can't help but notice all of the blessings that are just everywhere, all of that. So. If you're gonna tune in this year, it's gonna be real positive. if you wanna join me in leveling up and sharing with each other, what we're doing is awesome, that's what we're gonna do here. We're just gonna be awesome. I don't know if I'm gonna be, releasing these on Tuesday anymore. I know I'll do them weekly. Eventually I'll settle into more of a system, So there will be an episode a week that will release somewhere between Tuesday and Friday, and I will record every week. But I'm not gonna put the stress on myself right now to be putting it out on the same day every week. It, that kind of was taking a toll on me as well because I was trying to set up this, interviews and shit before I took the break. And that's kind of what made me want to take the break was because it was getting so frustrating.'cause I was putting so much pressure on myself. And this is supposed to be fun, like it's a job, but it's also like, this is, this is supposed to be fun. And it was getting not fun. So it's, we're back in the fun town. So I'm gonna get off here. I'm gonna watch my dolphins and, happy New Year babies. And I will see you cunts later. Should I leave that? Well, it's to see you next Tuesday. Joke, I thought it was funny. You get what you get.
