Welcome to the New Year!

New donation! $60! What will I do with it?

Slept till 5… but went to bed at 1.30. Fells asleep again today at 5pm, up at 8 or 9. So how does this jet lag work? Looks like I’ll be falling asleep early in the evening and then waking up.

How was New Years?! Peaceful in the city. Got to the gym around 7.00, another guy showed up at 7.30, and a bunch came in at 8.00. Chest day, but elbow is still bothering me.

Spent the day creating the Cio Cio video.

December Drumming done, Jamuary begins!

Ukrainian

Сію, сію, посіваю

З Новим роком всіх вітаю!

Щоб Вам весело жилося,

Щоб задумане збулося,

Щоб ніколи не хворіли,

Щоб нічого не боліло,

Щоб у праці все горіло Та й в кишені шелестіло!

Щоб, як квіти, Ви цвіли Та сто років прожили!

Translation:

I sow, I sow, I sow

I congratulate everyone on the New Year!

So that you live happily,

So that your plans come true,

So that you never get sick,

So that nothing hurts,

So that everything burns in your work And rustles in your pocket!

So that, like flowers, you bloom And live a hundred years!
