Episode 029 - 2022-2023 Recap:

What I've been up to this last (almost) year. Lots of rambling and self-interrupted stories (and anecdotes) in this one. From jiu jitsu to starting my lifting journey, my outdoor activities, to me complaining about the changing of the seasons, it's all here, folks! Just kidding, but we do get a tad introspective at times while reflecting - just the nature of the beast, I guess. I talk recent comings and goings, and I spoil some future plans for upcoming episodes.

Episode 030 - sTs 013 (Not a Friday the 13th Memorial Special??) or "Failure" coming soon. The council will take this request into congress, and come back with a decision.

(aka I'll pick one, then do the other one after that)

I forgot to mention this is a musical cultural anthropology class being offered to you at no cost (donations to the university help), and is worth 1 elective credit towards any major/minor program of your choosing. Not redeemable for any monetary exchange. All exams are open book, note, and internet. All classes are pass only. This is going to be on the test. Don't worry, cause it's in your notes, too (and my shownotes).

No video (Spotify) this time because (Formerly Anchor) no longer lets me upload MKVs, and I don't want to record in mp4, so until that changes, check out youtube for the video of me moving the picture around a few times before nothing else happens

Intro: @00:07 Fukkit, Dutchman - Flash Bang

Outro: @59:14 George Strait - Where the Sidewalk Ends ("Pure Country" Soundtrack)

In our second non-Halloween special, I run through all of the scary/horror movies I've watched

this year along with some Halloween plans/ideas, and I dive into a bit of the reasonings for 

my ratings (good or bad) for each film. I also highly recommend checking out The Vast of Night

on Amazon Prime, because it's seriously one of the best movies I've seen in years.

In this one, I talk about creating, and the power of self-confidence. We create this through our  foundation of positive mental attitudes/energy, and just good vibes. I explain the meaning (to me) of my favorite personal mantra, and things get me a little energized at the end. It's a good one.  We can work on building our confidence by showing up for ourselves day by day, and when we can't,  then we have a bank of experimental data from our past where we DID, and we can draw inspiration from this to keep on keepin' on. This is a good one.

In this one, I give some updates on how my last jiu jitsu competition went, training for the next one,

how lifting is going, what IT projects I'm working on at home/in my free time (also certs), and 

just check in. Next episode is going to be a themed episode, but I'm not sure what about yet. 

Enjoy!

This is a catchup episode, and I try to wrap up (sort of) the last some months, but I mainly talk about stoicism, some books I'm reading about it by Ryan Holiday, then gave a jiu jitsu update/recap, and kind of a short-term timeline. Thanks for sticking around for this one. More to come soon.

In this one, I talk about the idea of "moments," and how our lives are made up of inter-connected instances. I use a story to show how we should try not to judge others on a single moment, because it might not be their best self we're seeing, and then I also give a little mini update on how things are going as of late. Probably gonna release a new sTs to talk about more random, life stuff, but we'll see.

JUST FOUND OUT EPISODE 21 sTS 07 WAS BLOCKED (ON YOUTUBE) BECAUSE OF BOB DYLAN AUDIO, OOPS.   

This is our second annual Not a Halloween Special, even though it's still a few weeks away. I start off by attempting to read "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, but my furry co-host wasn't having it. Then I talk a bit about Halloween and scary movies in general. Next episode coming soon.

This one's about one of, in my opinion, our most important skills in not only becoming fuller and better people, but also expanding our perspectives, and developing more fulfilling lives: learning. I get a bit off track at times, but eventually get back on the wagon in the end.

This episode kind of goes hand in hand with Changes and Adaptation, but I talk a bit about what I think it means to transition, and be in a "transitional period." Kind of also get pretty meta about the show, my vision, and what I'd like to do in the future with possible guests once folks are travelling/doing everything again. That's about it. Also featured some more great music. Episode 020 out soon, so stay close.

This one I talk a little bit about the unfortunate events that happened in Afghanistan, language learning, BUYING A HOUSE, and a few other things. Even though I literally just finished this, my mind is a wash right now, and I can't remember what all else I covered. Please listen, if you wanna know the rest. For the last several episodes, I've been coming back after the outro song plays to give my sendoffs, so the timestamps are really just for when the music starts; not necessarily when the episode is starting/over.

This one is kind of a bummer at times, mostly because I talk about how many people's role models are just as fallible as the rest of us, but I talk about still finding inspiration in admirable traits of people, and then becoming your own role model if yours let you down.

This sum/Thin/sumthin  I talk about the new website, recapping vacation, some tech stuff, and I set a record for most times yawned/fallen half asleep during an episode. Intro song is a bit of a departure from previous episodes, but I'm all about diversity, especially in music.

This episode is all about anxiety. Kind of a short one, because I really just wasn't sure what to say about anxiety since it's so hard to describe to others if they've never felt it. Hopefully I did a good enough job at getting the point across, but if not, Google is your friend (or feel free to reach out).   

That being said,

HI :D  This one's kind of a short one, so apologies if you were looking for a longer episode. Not that I couldn't talk about this more, because I'm sure I can, but this just felt like the right length for now. Part 2 can come at a later date if anything more needs to be said about it, but for now, I'm okay with it.   

This one's all about seeing the world, and people, specifically, through different perspectives, and trying not take everything at first glance. Just like we don't (can't, thanks to publishers) judge books by our first impression of their covers, we shouldn't judge people unless we look at their experiences that have brought them this far on their journey, and it wouldn't hurt to look at the world through their eyes.

HI ALL :D  

Sorry for the delay. I guess this isn't the longest break between episodes (see the beginnings of this show), but it feels like it's been forever since I released anything. Times have been, trying, at best, and just downright awful at worst, but despite these uncertain times, it's imperative we all stay positive, spread that positivity, and help make the world, and our experiences in it better for all of those around us. Even though Thanksgiving (for US audience; sorry, everyone else) just came to pass, it's important to stay thankful year long, especially in the coming holiday/no daylight season. Be kind to those around you, and help bring light to the world in a period of uncertainty.   

Episode 10 coming soon? (Trying to decide on topic, but it'll probably come to be 2 minutes before recording)

Welcome to the forth episode of the Bedcast. This episode is the first sum/Thin/sumthin (sTs) installment where I ramble about Burn Notice, Professional WRASTLING, and a few other unrelated subjects for a while before I decided to go watch more Burn Notice. Episodes not about a specific topic will be uploaded as sTs', and will be a bit more loose in theme than topic-specified episodes (or at least that's how I'm currently aiming).
