#NowPlaying: Duffy- I'm scared

AHHHH!!! I'm currently writing out the very last bit of #NerdsUnite: My First Adult Heartbreak. It's a few weeks overdue, but I am a "method" writer of sorts, where I very literally relive the experience and then write about things I am experiencing, smelling, etc. 

It takes a lot out of me. 

 

Especially this story ... was pretty much the lowest point in my life. To go from being in a nut house, to breaking up, to then losing everything I owned, to having to rebuild my life, to then having my love have a kid and me finding out while hosting a show live online. The producer in me salivates because it's a GREAT story, but the person that lived it, and has to write it all out gets ... tired. 

It's also totally selfish though because writing all of this shit out is very genuinely the most CATHARTIC thing on the planet. So it'll feel good when it's all said and done, but the process of it all wears on me. Re-read part 7 so you're up to date for when it goes live tomorrow. 

And thank you guys for reading, btw. Again, it feels amazing to share when it's done ... but the process can be a bit grueling. 

Going to just keep on keepin on! Peace love and lollipops!

#NowPlaying: Semisonic - Closing Time

Well hello sexy lover faces ... fancy seeing you here. Come by often? No? Yeah, I don't blame you. 

By the time you are reading this I will be in the air and hopefully completely passed out on my way back to LA. I cannot even begin to express the amount of gratitude to everyone in Philly. (Read more about my adventures here) Seriously, everyone was so effin rad man. So so so much love. 

ANNNNNNDDDD on that note, all good things must come to an end so uh, this is the end ... for now. 

But don't worry, more adventures are coming soon. Saturday I head to the Playboy Mansion for their Halloween party and OMMMMMMGGGG it is epic. My favorite party of the year. So so so much FUNNNNN!!! 

Totally epic, totally can't wait. In the meantime however, enjoy this tune. Sums up my mood ...

#NowPlaying: Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance

Oh goodness gracious nerderinos - currently writing what should be the last chapter in my first adult heartbreak (read the latest chapter here). I say should be - but everything that I write is very much in the moment, and literally all done in first draft - so I say that as being hopeful, haha! Actually the next part will be the most intense, this is the unraveling of everything ... WHICHHHH was obviously inevitable, but also just one of the worst years of my life. Dude, to go from being locked up in a nut house, to breaking up, to losing everything I owned in a cockroach infestation to him having a kid - I mean GGNNAARRLLLYYY shit. But also, part of why I am so gun-ho about shit in life now. I very very very literally have no problem grabbing life by the balls and calling it my bitch. When you spend 24 years in a depression, and finally decide enough is enough - shit gets real, and really fast. 

I'm stoked, man. I can't wait to just be done with this story ... it happened so long ago, I'm ready to release. 

Soooooo, that happened. It'll be fully written this morning and up. On the bright side of things, I am UNBELIEVABLY excited for my day today. I have meetings this morning, and a super big one this afternoon - and all topped off with an unbelievably hot date tonight, that I am very excited about. So excited, I won't post on it. ::mwahaha:: Dudes, I have no filter as is, you add in the lifecasting component and it's just WAYYY too of an unfair advantage for the duderino. 

Ah! I am not mad at life right now. Not at all!!! 

So ... lemme get back to writing out this post. OH! Here's a song for you to get your engines going. Love love LOVE me some Lykke Li, and this song makes my life. ENJOY! 

#kthxbye
