What am I doing here?

Feb 19, 2025

Well, to answer that question...I have absolutely no f***ing clue! My plan? To simply piss my thoughts and ideas into the wind.

My name is Mike! A family guy (though not like Peter Griffin, I think), personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and someone who's been called a "libtard" online.

Over the past few months, I've had this growing disdain for social media. It's been festering for years, and I've cycled back and forth between being "on" and "off" of Facebook. I've tried Twitter (you know, that platform that I'll never refer to as anything else), and I've been on Instagram posting fitness content for a long while. I used to frequent Reddit, and although you can curate it to your needs, I often left feeling more frustrated and less hopeful.

November 6th, 2024 was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Or my back. It's me. I'm the camel, and I imagine that many in our country also feel like the metaphorical camel.

Since then, I've ditched Facebook, only keeping Messenger to communicate with friends. I've nuked my Reddit accounts, and started posting much less frequently on Instagram.

I sought community in Threads, where I've really found some amazing people! ...But it would take me a very, very long time to post my thoughts there.

And so, here I am!

Welcome to my...Is it a blog? Is it a journal? Is it political activism? Is it a place for posting random fitness videos and thoughts?

Whatever it is...

Welcome
