💪 From Zero to Hero: The Day I Conquered My To-Do List (Almost)

🎵 Song of the Day: "Good Vibrations" – Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

(Blast it while reading. Trust me—it hits different when you’ve folded laundry and conquered your goals.)

Today was one of those days where, if someone made a montage of it, it would play to a 2000s indie-pop song or, in this case, Marky Mark’s abs-powered anthem. I was confidently crossing off to-do list items like a man in a prescription-strength deodorant commercial.

I worked out early—because gains don’t rest—and then hit the grocery store. I’m still trying to figure out how to meal prep like a functioning adult, but I managed to avoid the snack aisle like it was my ex at Target. ✅ Progress.

🛠️ This Guy's Getting His Act Together

I finally ordered the flooring I’ve been putting off, paid for overnight delivery, and bought a rug to throw on top of it like I’m the kind of guy who says things like "It really ties the room together."

(Let’s be real—I just don’t want to see that subfloor again.)

🧺 Laundry? Done.

🧠 Interview with Ben from Fright-Rags? Published.

💸 Savings plan? Activated.

After staring at my finances like I was decoding the Matrix, I came to a decision:

> Everything I make from the upcoming show is going to savings.

If I stick to the plan, by the end of August I’ll be back in the black—and not in a Taylor Swift heartbreak way—in a “look who’s crawling out of debt and into dignity” way. 💼

🧠 The Realization That Hit Me Harder Than a Barbell

And then it hit me.

I finally know what I want to be. Not just “fit” or “debt-free” or “a horror-blogging, action figure-slinging, cardio-conquering wizard.”

(Although... all those too.)

> I want to be the guy who finishes what he starts—the guy who doesn’t flinch when things get tough, who turns habits into identity.

And I think I’m finally on that path. 💪

🕵️‍♂️ Meanwhile, in the Shadows of the Utility Closet…

Tobito and the Refried Avenger have been watching. Not just me—but us. They know something’s changing.

“Tie your shoes tighter,” Tobito said this morning. “You’re walking like someone carrying purpose. It’s weird.”

“Lavender and unbaked ambition,” Tobito sniffed the air. “That’s what change smells like.”

The Refried Avenger adjusted his goggles and muttered, “He’s aligning. That’s when things get dangerous.”

“I give it two days before he tries to install that floor shirtless while blasting this same song on repeat,” Tobito quipped.

“Three days,” the Avenger countered. “And there will be power tools.”

They didn’t say it out loud, but I could feel it—pride, mixed with concern. They’ve been with me on this strange ride of reinvention. And tomorrow, something new stirs. A ripple. A crossover. 🔄
