Moving forward in life is the key to happiness. You can’t live in the past – you can’t get caught up in the future – you have to live in the now – the present. Why say you that Modern Uncle? I will tell you exactly why.

Learning from the past is crucial. Looking ahead and having dreams is normal. But living your Modern life in any area other than the present will destroy it. It will destroy your relationships, your friendships, and it gives you a perverse look at the world. Holding onto something from the past/not letting go? Drop it friends… It will destroy you if you hold onto it – instead, learn from it and make it a valuable life experience. Concentrated on what is going to happen when your 25, 30, or 35 years young? Don’t be – having dreams and goals are one thing, but living your life for the “light at the end of the tunnel” or “I/we will have so much more money in a year, everything will be fine” or “in 5 years my life will be so much better.” F*ck that my friends! If you live in the present – in the now – you carve your own path, you create your own destiny. As soon as you start “doing” – those dreams and goals will start falling like a phat set of Dominos.

Learning to live in the “now” is what I have learned these past 8 months of hell. As a Modern Uncle, I have always tried to live in the “now” but was unable to due to relationship circumstances. How did you change your circumstances, you may ask? When I hurt – I hurt. When I wanted to scream – I screamed. When I had enough – I had enough. When I was ready to change my circumstances – I changed them. I changed my circumstances by living in the now and realizing that the only way to reach my life’s potential was to live in the now – in the present. Not in a make believe world – not in the past and definitely not in the “what life could be if this [name an event] happens” malarkey.

So there is your quick history lesson…… AND SO here we are.

When I want to have fun – I have fun. When I want to drink keg beer from a 2 story beer bong – I drink that shit. When I want to rap to Lil Wayne lyrics – damn sure I rap that shit. When I want to waste away watching football for 10 hours – you know where I will be cause I own that shit. When I want to take a trip anywhere with anyone – best be sure I’m going to travel that shit.

I’m not a lyrical mastermind but I know how to choreograph a wicked flow. Think about it – write it – just let it go. A poem or a haiku I’ll show you the way. Stick with this blog – The Modern Uncle and I know you’ll want to stay. It’s all about loving, living, laughing, and finding that peace and happiness within you –

So if you see me out – damn sure better join us for a brew.

As always - Stay Frosty,
