Today I did my pre-Thanksgiving Day hike at Lake Poway to Potato Chip Rock. It was an 8 mile loop up to Mt. Woodson summit which had the famous "Potato Chip Rock". The trail had a 2000ft elevation and as usual I was struggling with the uphill. I feel like no matter how many mountains I climb I don't seem to get any endurance! It was a nice hike and the trail was filled with lots of people and families.
Tonight I went to a meet-up group called Thinking While Drinking. This was my second time at this group. The idea of the group is that you get together at one of the hundreds of breweries in San Diego to discuss a topic. I went this past Sunday and the topic was entrepreneurship at Ballast Point. I was interested because they were actually releasing a beer the group developed and you got a t-shirt and pint glass. The beer was a saison barrel aged with oats and ginkgo biloba which helps with memory, which I thought was pretty clever. The topic of entrepreneurship turned into a very strange discussion about how entrepreneurs are the root of all evil. It was an interesting discussion for sure, heated at times, but went way off topic. I met two really nice girls who live in OB (Ocean Beach) Maggie and Shannon., and we decided to get dinner afterwards.
Tonight's topic was FOMO or the fear of missing out. For each discussion you watch a YouTube video to prepare. The video discussed that there are two types of people, the romantic and the classical. The romantics fear missing out on the superficial, the fancy party, the nice cars. The classicals fear missing out on making lasting connections with their parents or not procreating. It was a very interesting discussion about what drives people ultimately fear or love. This time we went to Duck Foot Brewery. I find the whole thing so fascinating because most of this stuff none of us take the time to even bother thinking about let alone spend 2 hours debating with a bunch of total strangers. I consider myself a book smart kind of person but I don't consider the why's in life as much as I probably should. I would definitely go to this meet-up again. Ask yourself if you fear missing out in life and if you do what is the root cause of that fear? Is it coming from a positive place or a negative one?? AROOO WOOOO!!!
Song of the Day
"I Can See Clearly Now" Johnny Nash. This song was about gratitude and thankfulness. I will discuss more in my blog tomorrow.
"Play Hard" (feat. Ne-Yo and Akon) David Guetta. It's the night before Thanksgiving. I definitely worked hard with my hike now it's time to play hard and despite the fact that I missing friends from home more than ever tonight I am going to enjoy my time in San Diego. This song also really reminds me of working out at The Max in Toms River. I miss them all terribly and although I feel like I am staying active I am definitely losing muscle tone!
