Hello everyone, welcome to another Daily Gym. Today is the episode for Thursday, March 28th, 2024. And today I want the title to be, Time for Bed? Oh shoot.
What I mean by that is very straightforward and simple. I was getting very excited to go to bed. I went out to a concert with my dad and one of our friends today, fantastic, called Classic Rock Show. Just a lot of rock covers from, I think, the 70s, maybe a little 80s. And I had a great time, then went out and watched my college, my alma mater is what they say, win a basketball game in the NCAA tournament, and was very happy for that. And came home, was doing some research on how my computer is too old and too slow, and that's why it's very hard to record videos on it. Trying to experiment with video podcasting. I don't know how far that will go. There are a lot of logistics with it. Lighting, video, backdrop, clothing, and that's just on my side. I have to coordinate the other side as well. And, uh, also computer. Apparently the video in the episode the other day, not only did my call stop because the wifi stopped on my computer, because I think the computer got too hot. Uh, and then, uh, when the call did start again, something got screwed up with the resolution. And the company said that it's because the, uh, they recommend computers, have eight cores to run their software. I'm thinking eight cores. Mine does not have eight cores. I looked it up. I was like, two, two. Mine only has two. Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. So I was looking all that stuff up and I was just, you know, that before bed exhale, I'm ready to go to sleep. And I said, wait a second. I don't think I did an episode.
I probably said oh shoot I might have said oh shit I said what oh no, it was there was some realization and you know I think this happens very often, how many times have you felt so ready to go to sleep and then remembered something that you really thought you were supposed to do and not only something that you were supposed to do for yourself, but something you were supposed to do for others. And not only others, but maybe a lot of others. I mean, right now, maybe it's a few others. I don't know. This podcasting business is confusing, to say the least.
But yeah, I think there's a lot of times that our body finally starts to relax, whether it's going to sleep or whether it's we have finished something, we feel that sense of relief, and then we get reminded of the thing that we were supposed to do. So I would like to take this time to reflect on, man, how it's only three and a half minutes. Oh man, I still got some time to go.
Oh goodness.
To go short, to go long. Yeah, just Just reflecting on how.
It's a decision. Life is full of conflicts. People who tell me, oh, I just want peace. I'm like, dude, what are you talking about? There's conflict in everything that I do. Should I drink water now because I'm going to sleep because I'm dehydrated? Or should I not drink water? Because if I drink too much water, then maybe I have to wake up in the middle of the night. If I don't drink water, maybe I wake up parched. Ah, okay. Should I drink? So should I go to bed now? Or should I do the the podcast if i do the podcast should i do it five minutes should i do it three minutes, um what should i talk about like there's so many conflicts so many decisions so many things pulling us in different directions and uh so i kind of roll my eyes or laugh when people are like oh i have no conflict in my life uh-huh sure okay you're just not paying attention because it is there are you hungry or you're not hungry oh i'm not sure okay good you have both you have that it. I'm sure there's some metaphor. Is it like the donkey on the inside that, you know, it's got food on the left and food on the right and it rips itself in half trying to figure out where to eat or stays in the middle, man. I don't ask me to do these metaphors. I think metaphors for me and idioms get so screwed up because I talk to so many people from so many cultures and. And so many metaphors don't make sense anymore. I laugh. I was talking to my friend from Macedonia the other day, and he said something, and I was like, I have never heard that expression before. And I was almost certain it was a direct translation from Macedonian. If I remember, I'll tell you all. But, yeah. So on that note, I think I've reached five minutes, and I have reached the point of wanting to go to sleep. So I will talk to you all next week. Hope you have a good weekend. And yeah, that's how it goes. Good night.
