I am proud of the life I’ve built. Before my teens were over, I had completely bypassed all thought of college, knocked up a girl, gotten married, and quit my band (the band was Plan A for my life). I had no skills and no plan and I’m sure even the people that loved us most thought that our marriage was doomed.
But it wasn’t, and those people were wrong - even if the statistics were definitely on their side.
I am proud that I have 4 awesome kids…
I am proud that my wife and I are still actively falling in love every day, 20-something years later.
Honesty, I’m proud to be loved by an amazing woman…
Though conscious of my privilege, I am proud that I found a way to build a career and provide for my family despite having no education. I make over 200k now and that’s simply way, way more than I ever thought I would be able to pull down.
It’s really hard to say it’s the best, but the most memorable bite I’ve ever had was my first bite of Japanese F1 Wagyu at Jean Georges in Las Vegas.
Now, I am not a foodie, and I don’t often dine at Vegas steak houses, so I don’t claim any kind of refined palate.
That first bite defied all expectations about what steak was or even what meat could be. I know this sounds crazy, but in many ways it had more in common with candy than with the cow it came from - but it wasn’t sweet.
Clearly I am stymied in my attempts to describe such a memorable bite, because it was so unlike anything else I can relate it to, but suffice to say it was amazing.
Unbelievably, I’m playing (and enjoying) Fallout 76 after avoiding it for so many years of following it’s travails from afar.
It’s buggy in all those Bethesda ways that are almost comfortable in their familiarity at this point, and it’s got a lot to explore. This can tide me over until Starfield is discounted and improved.
Also been playing Teardown a bit, which has a really cool look and feel. Hyper-real except a voxel universe, if that makes sense. Lots of fun to destroy the environment.
