- Mr. Wright🏌🏻♂️: Guest Post
GM gang 🏌🏻♂️ Today's guest post is a sweet one from another dear old friend, Colin. Both under 6 feet tall, we met in 2011 outside a fraternity house. He was wearing some insane highlighter orange Patagonia vest and I was rocking a highlighter yellow parka. We were annoying together. Something clicked. I give you his Apples:
🍺 The Big Book. *Slowly pulls out soap box to yell at you heathens still drinking and drugging* JK! As I write this I have been sober for exactly 15 months, 3 days, and 9 hours. I attribute a large part of my continued sobriety to the 12 Steps of AA and before you stop reading because you think I’m going to tell you to get sober, I’m not. Although the program was created to help those dealing with substance abuse issues, the teachings IMO are just as helpful to those who find themselves in a rut. The TL;DR of it all - drop your ego, get spiritual, take personal inventory and mend your most meaningful relationships. Listen, these were created some 85 years ago by Bill and his doctor Bob, edited only once since. With millions of members worldwide maybe there is something to it. As my sponsor says, keep your side of the street clean, it's what you have control over.
⛳ Fore Play. As we age the number of sports we can still compete in without the risk of injury starts to dwindle - see this fun little NSFW video:). Anyways, the great thing about golf is that you don't need to be good for it to be fun. Does it help? Sure, but my pitch about hitting the links revolves around the things many people are neglecting - exercise, sun exposure, social connection and more. Walking nine or 18 holes of golf is no more difficult than the grandpa walks you started taking during the pandemic, but way more fun. But Colin, golf is expensive. False, you can get a starter set for <$300, a bucket of balls at the range is $15 at most and if you play twilight golf (after 4pm) you can walk 9 nine holes for less than $30. You may not have the r****d strength of Happy Gilmore, but I guarantee you can have just as much fun. Green jacket, gold jacket, who gives a shit! Get out and play.
🤐 Momma, I'ma go fast(ing)! They say abs are made in the kitchen, which is true, but even if you are eating healthy up until the time you go to bed that fupa is gunna fup. Intermittent fasting has a variety of benefits on the human body, both physical and mental. The article linked can tell you all about the benefits and different ways you can incorporate a fast into your routine. For me, fasting is a practice in self control. The digital age has turned the whole human race into Veruca Salt: we want everything and we want it now! Have some self control, feel better and don't get taken out with the trash like Veruca.
🍴 My tummy hurts. Probably because you just crushed a whole bag of watermelon sour patch kids. Or maybe it's because you are not giving enough love to your gut. Increased risk for diseases like colon cancer or diabetes have been linked to poor gut health. Stinky farts too. The medical community tends to agree that the science is still out on what benefits pre/probiotics actually have on the gut. So, maybe stay away from the magic pills these health companies are pushing and instead go for something real. Fermented foods are a great source for good bacteria - yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi. If none of those tickle your fancy you can peruse Brad Leone's youtube channel. Dude ferments like it's going out of style.
How do you like them Apples from Mr. Wright? Suggestions? Hate us/me? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
Your friends,
Colin🏌🏻♂️ & Andrew🍎
