Fuck you, that’s why.

I began my previous blog in a different headspace I wasn’t exactly sure where I was headed or who my allies truly were. I have learned and grown a lot since I’d made my final submission. I wasn’t intending to walk away from it but I had to, it was no longer bringing me any sort of joy. Anytime I would log in, I would see a sense of loss.

I am more in tune with myself and what I have to offer. I have recognized my worth. Hell, I wrote a pretty damn well received edged weapons manual. I know on the larger scale of things that doesn’t mean shit. In no way does it compare with someone who punches a 9-to-5. I putogether some words about something I know a bit about and get tossed a few cents every few weeks. My respect is to them. Though, I too work a 9-to-5 (well, 7-3:30).

I don’t know where 2025 will take me beyond the seminars I have scheduled and the launching of Shanktelli with the first production piece, the Sleezedagger. I would like to write another book if people we receptive. I am open to requests and recommendations though it will likely be my “black book” on Vulgate Pugilism and the methodology behind my Carnie. Perhaps a joint video with Coach K on blending Vulgate Pugilism and Carnie for self-protection or even MMA or Vale Tudo (still exists ya’ll).

All in all I just want to enjoy 2025 as much as possible and hopefully remain above ground and vertical.
