What I’m doing NOW!
Updated September 30 , 2025 from My Home in Tucson AZ
Work
September is done??? What how?
Roller coaster of a month. Piercing pop up, Octoberfest events, and there were a couple weeks there, where I was working every single day from very early to very late.
Last Saturday we had our Button Brew House Oktoberfest and it was so much fun. Justin, Julia and Nathan have some fun stories for life!
We did a giveaway for a $500 tattoo at the shop and had a ton of people sign up. Its literally free to enter. Nothing but upside.
If you missed it last weekend, fret not, we are doing another $500 tattoo giveaway at Moto Sonora this weekend for their Oktoberfest event.
I hope we double the entries.
I’ve been studying a lot of old marketing books. Its fascinating to see how much human nature has changed and what is a constant.
If you’ve been thinking about adding some black and grey realism or some american traditional, or even some minimalism tattoos to your skin, hit the link below and lets talk
Health
I had some tests done recently that weren’t exactly stupendous. So I’m doing my best to dial back the festivities and eat like and adult.
So, I’ve kicked the sauce for the last 2 weeks. Remember 75 hard? I’m doing like a 75 medium hard. No alcohol, gallon of water. 45 minutes of walking or working out, read 10 pages of a non fiction book and journaling 2 pages… oh and 10 minutes in the cold plunge.
My sciatica did not like my new enthusiasm for movement. But some light stretching, a TENS unit and the cold plunge seem to help.
Still trying to prep for the AZT, but not sure if I can be healthy (see above) in 3 weeks. If I have to push it, thats fine, I just don’t want the weather to push me even further down the line.
Reading
I’m reading the book Onward by Howard Shultz. He was the Ceo of Starbucks that came back as ceo to realign the company.
Lots of cool things I never knew about the company and how obsessive leadership needs to be with a company at any size.
Family
My wife started beertending at the same Button Brew House we will be posted up at this month.
They’re are really great local business that’s family run, and insanely meticulous about the quality of the beer they make. I’m super excited. (they were also one of our biggest sellers when we owned TraXide Taproom on 4th ave)
UPDATE ALERT:
Thanks to some very generous friends and clients, my daughter has raised over $500 bucks towards her goal! If you aren’t up to speed, check out the link below.
My kiddo is also hosting he own fundraiser. SHES GOING TO IRELAND with her marching band and is asking for help! Watch her video here, and donate… this is all her. I’m helping where I can, but this is her deal… And if she hits her goal… yup, I agreed to let her TATTOO ME.
So if you want to see me get tattooed by my daughter… gotta throw some cash at her
Quotes I’ve been pondering
“Waste no time thinking about what a good man is. Be one.”
A version of a Marcus Aurelius quote. Just do the right things.
