Learning to Lead: The Most Unique Tour Leader Training

Learning to Lead Tour Leader Training Although I secured my job in the tourism industry I was feeling more insecure than ever. The orange hot mocha I sipped did little to calm my nerves. Thankfully this tour was a live training and observation journey, so I wouldn’t be in charge. When I arrived at the hotel I was relived to discover the first day of the tour was for greetings. We would make sure…

Drowning in Responsibility Turning 30 Time to be an Adult

When you’re a kid the weekend is for toiling the free time you have away. As you age up in the world, you also want to avoid weekends. Menial chores and adult responsibilities consume weekends. Although I’m on my grind to make 2024 a great year, I spent Saturday setting up a parking space for my car. I made my last post emotional, do emotional men have a place in this world? Growing up I’ve…

Delayed Gratification or a Fool? The Weird Paradox of Dream Chasing.

Delayed Gratification or a Fool? I possess an affinity for writing. One of the few “gifts”, and I’m starting to lean into it more often. My personality and demeanor fit writing like a glove. With my eczema and lack of other skills, I’m left cursing the heavens. “What a useless character build” I think as I navigate the world feeling increasingly lost as time passes. When I set out to make 2024 a…

Obsessive Focus: Video Edits, Music Production, Frustration, Expression, and Relaxation,

Laidback Log Video Production is something I’ve been doing for almost fifteen years now. I still remember one of the YouTube channels that got me into video creation. FreddieW, renamed to rocketjump, hosted all sorts of crazy fun videos. Aimbot is an amazing short video with a mix of humor, action, and great VFX work. There are some other classic gems on his channel that I highly recommend…

Self Assessment A Month into The New Year

Self Assessment after a month of my conecentrated effort to make 2024 a great year. I don’t know what made me decide that 2024 was going to move my life in a better trajectory. In this post I said that life is not a movie. However perhaps like movie characters we gain the opportunity for growth when we hit rock bottom? 2023 was a terrible year for me, I’m proud that I stood up for my values, but…

Cyberpunk and Society this is what you wanted isn’t it?

Sometimes the neurodivergent focus can get the better of us with it. I was a little cranky this morning. I think everyone has had a morning with a little less beauty sleep than they needed. In my case it’s just sleep. As a result of how we structured our cyberpunk society it’s often the case that even if you’re tired and useless at work you’re expected to show up and look busy. Alan Watts has…

Explanation is More Difficult Than Action, Weird Reasons Why

Why is explanation is more difficult than action? Explanation is More Difficult Than Action, sometimes it’s easier to do things first and ask questions later. Have you ever asked a teenager why they did something stupid? I think back to a story my friend once told me of his son. His son decided it would be a good idea to buy a used TV and proceed to yeet it off a bridge. “It was an awkward…

Being an Entrepreneur Isn't As Exciting As It Sounds

While searching for a job technically I can say I was a freelancing, contracting solo entrepreneur. This period lasted for around seven months. While entrepreneur is an exciting term, If it weren’t for my cousin I don’t think I could have made it. It was nice to get a taste of being my own boss. The power to set my own schedule, and control how much value I bring is freeing. However, Being an…

Finding Focus After Dark Tranquility In The Night

Finding focus after dark is a normal occurrence for me. Last night I didn’t get a wink of sleep as I had a deadline for an IT project. As the sunset blanketed the world in a soothing dark veil I came alive. To be a nocturnal soul living in a daywalker’s world is hard. Like photography at night the world changes its character to suit me. When doing art, music, editing, or logic-based work like…

Creative Renewal in the New Year: The Hidden Potential

Fear of Beginning After starting the year off on a great note I’ve made it a part of my late New Year’s Resolution to start writing more. I’ve committed to the idea of Creative Renewal in the New Year. Some of this motivation comes from conversations with friends and comments online. My good friend Dave said that my writing carries a level of self-awareness that is hard to find. He then went on…

Life in the Fast Lane: Cars, Cameras, Coming Up

Life in the Fast Lane is more exciting. It might not be as safe and secure as a normal life, but after losing my “safe and secure job” it’s a life I’m chasing. I’m not talking about a dangerous life filled with hedonism, drugs, and large risks. The part of the life I enjoy is the cars and a slight amount of risk. The funny thing is that in 2024 life in the fast lane is simply chasing your dreams…

The Journey to Becoming a Tour Guide in Japan: Unexpected But Welcome

Today marks a big day for me

It took Me Seven Months to Get Hired The Journey to becoming a Tour Guide in Japan isn’t straightforward. I left my job last July. Imagine that it takes more than half a year to get hired in the current job market. Scrambling for a job isn’t a foreign experience for me. I thought back to the time when I had just recently graduated college. At that time I went from one website to the next. The…

Believing in Change is Starting a Better Uplifting Year

Believing in Change is difficult after a year like 2023. Was this past year this difficult for everyone? The extra wrinkles on my face and my thinning hairline make me think that that life is all downhill from here. As a result I’ve been worrying about my life in five to ten years. My new home was dingy and a little rough around the edges, perhaps reflecting the new tenant. After work, I spent a…

Tokyo Arcades: Blast to the Past Pixels, Passion, and Perspective

Exploring the true essence of gaming, LaidbackMarco dives into the joy beyond competition, reminiscing arcade memories and the invaluable experiences that make the journey more enriching than the destination #gaming #tokyo #japan #arcade #nostolgia

It’s Not Always About Winning Blast to the Past and games were about having fun. I’m an avid competitive gamer, my daily driver is Apex Legends. I push myself to evolve and stack those dubs. My limited success in eSports or games hasn’t garnered me any material wealth. The joy rests in the action itself. Gaming is a part of my life.

The Beautiful Nightmare of Coming Down From a High

The Beautiful Nightmare of Coming Down From a High is something only a rare minority of people can say they have experienced. Only those of us with turbulence in our lives who can revel in the calm waters of everyday life. Despite turbulence in my upbringing I can now proudly say I live a mostly normal life. I’ve been working my ass off to live a chaotic life in different respects. Life can be…
