The winter of leo..and what I learned so far


I mentioned numerous times my current employer promised me my paid time off..180hrs

I blogged..

.like that Seinfeld episode where George gets time off and it will be the " summer of george..

That I wanted the month of December off...I wanted the winter of Leo.

And it looks like I'm getting most of it...

So I already had a week off and learned some life lessons.

Lesson 1.

Even though I literally hit up the gym 5 times this week...just being away from work caused me to eat like a ..I can't repeat that mistake

One will never balance out the other.

Lesson 2.

I'm a middle card man. Meaning I watched current podcast from former wrestlers..

In this case it was Shane douglas..

And everything he went through with Vince and the wwf...

From low pay..to a 13 yr old vet having to prove himself to the wwf..to the company promising you shit and telling you to just..hold on..soon we will get this together..we will be bigger etc. This is a great oppertunity for you..

Is the exact same crap my workplace told me like 10 days ago

I'm middle card..a place holder..I'm never going to rise in this company
I'm not special

Lesson 3
What ever is old..is new again..

You can tell the younger generation 1+1=2..

You can preach 1 and 1 has always been 2..

And some 20 yr old tiktok chad clown comes along..

And says...nah bro...it's 3..

And any cred the older generation had...

Flies out the window ..

Old school bodybuilding..modern bodybuilding is

Gone..

Replaced by 20 yrs old telling ..you don't need this or that..

Just look at me...superjacked...on every steroid he can handle

Hail the new " liverking".
Look at me,follow me brah..

And the younger generation clicks,subs and blindly follows
1+1=3

Lesson 4

You can h word me
You can love me...

But you read because your intrigued...

I have a ride or d!e personality...you may not like me but you know I'm the guy that is gonna " get you to the boarder".

The same for writing characters...

You don't have to love them
You don't have to h word them..

But you continue to read...

Cause your invested in them..

Lesson 5...with time off I watched that dumpster fire movie with Andrew Garfield as spiderman..

And Leo being Leo started to mentally compare and contrast this movie to the superior spiderverse one..

Today's lesson...you can spend millions on cgi, you can put tom cruise in yiur movie, you can be
Diverse as you want..

And in the end...

You simply need to

Let people feel Spiderman pain...let him fall in love..let him lose before he wins

And if you truly believe snow white isn't a love story and those elements need to be removed..

Then why are you writing..

You are empty.

Lesson 5

Don't care how many times you reboot a character or a franchise..

We know who spiderman,batman,superman is...

We don't have to through another rehash orgin story..

If anything the best characters are the strong silent types..those without an orgin story..

And those details slowly come out through the story.

Lesson six..diversity

You can put in tons of diversity...

But if your not giving the audience what they really want...

Then what's the point.

I watched the 2023 Dr who episode..fans were freaking out because they dared play the pronoun game,had a trans actor in this episode..

But who literally cares...

They gave homage to the fans..

We got our doctor/ doctor Donna moment..

And I couldn't have asked for more.

Lesson 7...life outside of work..welcome to pto mornings

I literally didn't know there would be this many people on the roads,in the gym,in the supermarkets...
Like do that many people work nights..

Cause I was a bit suprised
