10-28-24 Over the past day, I had been focusing on news regarding President Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan. I listened to the Podcast itself on Spotify the morning of 10-26-24, at an increased rate of speed because the interview was nearly 3 hours long. I had been seeing online on Rumble that Trump was doing a big rally at Madison Square Garden. CBS News is calling it an "apparent sell out crowd" using whatever they can to downplay whatever happened there.

This did not much impact my day, it made me happier to an extent, but aside from News, it was my older Son's birthday Party, so that was definitely the main focus of 10-27-24

I felt like things are going well for the Trump Campaign. I feel like things are going poorly for the Harris Campaign. I feel like I want to see Government "Right Sized" and the Trump Team is going to get us there.

This distracted me from my work, ever so slightly, I was still able to complete all of today's work tasks!

Trump's Joe Rogan interview and Trump's Madison Square Garden appearance were the big events right now. I love it because they are huge events. They say Joe Rogan has a huge audience (this is my first time listening to a whole Podcast of Rogan's and not a brief clip of something.) And Madison Square Garden, I mean, its the heart of New York City, a place that I think would be really cool to visit there and see something grand.

My levels of stress and anxiety were fairly high, but unrelated to the news, it was more related to my son's birthday party, getting friends and family together, and the stresses that can cause. My family was really high strung yesterday and stressing me out about the party, and my dad, the contractor every time he comes over he has to point out all the flaws he sees in my house, which I don't really appreciate.

I just shared what I learned with my wife, and that's about all. Other than that, I don't have a lot of contact with other individuals too much during the week, and I'm not huge on social media, so mostly the information just bounces on and off the recesses of my head.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I felt cautiously optimistic about how the election is going. It was interesting, and it was good to feel good for a change, in my opinion. I think things are soon to get better. The situation we've been languishing in, is soon to leave!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.H7be-01E
I found myself checking the news when I completed a task for my job, then all the sudden I check the "Clickbait" which is MSN News. Its kind of a daily "reward" for getting my work done. Also, my biggest project is waiting on an approval, which it has already been too long in my opinion, but it could be a while longer. It was to occupy the time, but my time spent would be better served walking my dog around the neighborhood, in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.t7a9U060
I followed the latest polling news from Election 2024. One of the things I am finding out from early vote data is that it looks like President Trump is performing far better in 2024 than 2020, everywhere in America. Even the deep Blue states, the margins are improving, but what that means is that swing states are tilting in Trump's direction. I would say I am cautiously optimistic about the election.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
My stress levels have been moderate but that's mostly because of a family situation where my parents treated my poorly at my son's birthday party on Sunday, and that's still an ongoing issue.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3Sv7-0QQ
Its something interesting to talk to friends and family about. I talked with my dad last night on the phone after the gym. We talked about disaster preparedness in case things get a little crazy after the election, I've got some food, and I've got some water, I'm not a crazy prepper or anything, I'm not gonna go buy all this wild stuff at Bass Pro Shop, :P

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I feel relieved that I even have a sense of this having an end in sight. I am under no illusions that we will have election results on election day however, the world just doesn't seem to work that way. But whatever the fight is, I'm here for it. This draws me in, this keeps me interested.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.H7be-01E
I found myself checking the news during the work day, and then in the early evening I was able to get over to the gym where I consumed a little more news on the weight machines and the treadmill. The news did not distract me in any way from my activities. What prompted me to check the news was of course, we closing in on a Presidential election. Now, what's different about elections within the last couple cycles is, its not all about election day and turnout on election day, its like election season with I think nearly every state having more Mail in vote options and early vote options than in Cycles past. So we have a gauge and an idea as to how the election is going prior to election day.

One big one was on CNN it was Kamala Harris' closing argument to the American people as to why they should consider voting for her, she seemed to have an interesting dynamic going on, where her body language was very expressive, talking with her hands and arms, but her face was slightly lifeless. I think there was a drastic shift in Kamala's campaign style from "joy" in the summer to negativity in the fall unfortunately. I followed this story because it is interesting, and its good to see this political season draw to a close, as it seems like we've been in a fight, literally since 2019.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
My level of stress this past 24 hours has been normal. The news stuff isn't getting to me right now. I'm trying to be here and be a good dad to my kids. My wife is slightly kinda being disrespectful here and there, but we're working through it. I have no anxiety from the news, I'm actually kinda enjoying it, for what its worth.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3Sv7-0QQ
I mean, my day was full, so it probably would have been better if I didn't dedicate any time towards news, but that's the nature of the roles that I have taken on within my job. I have several functions that are low level tasks (such as answering the department's emails and voicemail) that aren't necessarily the most cerebral of tasks, but its still important, and no one else really is going to take this on, in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I can laugh about it, because the situation is humorous. It feel like breakthrough is on the verge of happening, and at some point, things are going to get better!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.H7be-01E
My news consumption over the last 24 hours has been interesting. It mildly distracted me from my work, but not to any discernable level. My job was very busy yesterday, I had 2 meetings with one of the Regions that I serve, one was a general Question and Answer, and the second was a Leadership meeting for the Region. What prompted me to check the news was getting an alert on my phone stating this or that, generally an update on how the election is going as far as early vote results, etc. I was slightly distracted, but honestly, probably less than usual, for me.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.t7a9U060
I saw an article on Jeff Bezos, mega billionaire and Owner of the Washington Post, personally made the decision that the paper would not be endorsing Kamala Harris. This is an interesting departure from other major publications and even the Washington Post's previous election behaviors. Also, I saw that the Trump Team took Biden's garbage comment and turned into a political garbage stunt, complete with Trump wearing a safety vest, as a Driver of a Garbage truck might. it was humorous, and brings levity to a season that needs it.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
Its been a lot like yesterday for me, where is anxiety level is pretty low. Its been good stuff. I like where my mind is going lately, its almost like focusing on the positive. Bryan I hope you have the best of days!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3Sv7-0QQ
The stories just impacted my day in the fact that I can be hopeful, that at some point here, things are going to turn around, things are going to get better. As we used to say, "thanks Obama" hahahahha no, but seriously I think America is in for a Renaissance.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I have a feeling that things are going to get better, I pray that they do. I think Americans, now that we are staring down a cliff, might be ready to get out there and make better choices.

My news consumption over the past 24 hours has been moderate, but I am committed. I found myself checking the news throughout the workday, and a little bit after work, although not too much. Today was Halloween, so there were plenty of festivities, we actually went to a house party at our neighbors then all the kids went out together trick or treating with the parents tagging along, getting to know each other. These are other parents at the school my kids attend. Although I have seen most or all of these people, I am not super familiar with a lot of them, but we are getting more friendly and I'm enjoying it! What prompted me to check the news was any lull in excitement, I got look at the phone, and see what's going on!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.t7a9U060
News Stories for me over the past 24 hours have been more about the fallout of the Biden garbage gaffe and just Trump and Kamala on the campaign trail. Its looking like Trump plows ahead while Kamala is outta gas, (in my opinion) I followed these stories because it is particularly interesting to me. The past 4 years have been grueling and exhausting (crappy) I'd like to see an end to the malaise. Fun fact, when we were Trick or treating there was a dad with an oversized Maga foam hat, and cape that had the message on it "the *Excrement show ends 11-5-24" I thought it was funny.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
My stress level is moderate to low. I feel pretty good about the way that things have been going. I feel good about November!!!! Wow, I cannot believe we are close-ish to closing out 2024... although with 2 months to go, 2 months is a decent amount of time!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3Sv7-0QQ
The news story everts impacted my day in the fact that it made my day better, because the news is positive in nature. Also, it gives me something positive to talk to my wife and my family about. I really appreciate the opportunities that we have been given, and I thank God daily for being born in the country of America!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I get excited honestly. It has been a rough four years from start to finish. On day 1 of Biden he put in a lot of executive orders slowing down and stopping gas exploration, the Keystone pipeline etc. America needs a TON of cheap reliable energy in order to run. Keeping us away from that has raised fuel prices, that raise the cost of everything else. (especially them groceries, am i right?) I really cannot wait for this administration to retire.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.H7be-01E
My news consumption over the past 24 Hours has been largely election coverage. Checking the news did not actually distract me from my duties today, it was a lighter day at work, perhaps for some of my coworkers a "Halloween Hangover" ( I haven't had a drink in probably a good 2 year or so.) I kept myself focused and didn't watch too much news however.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.t7a9U060
The things that I was watching is the latest in the states with their early voting results. The main states looked at are Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota. I followed them because they are interesting to me. The swing states are always interesting the "locked in" States are less interesting. I have strong interest in seeing Donald J Trump re-elected to President!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
My levels of stress and anxiety have been steady. I wouldn't say that I have been with out stress, but its in that manageable window. Realistically that's probably right where I want to be. I don't want to overdo it with the stressful situations.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3Sv7-0QQ
There wasn't really an impact on my day. I am so ready for political season to be over, but I'm also under no illusions that it will end on Election Day, that just seems to be the kind of mud you get drug through being a citizen of the earth in the 21st Century. I want reform though, and I know we're gonna get there, eventually.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6zNtebEI
I feel good about how the election was going. I felt weird about the squirrel. I mean, these all are God's creatures, but my experience with squirrels is, they like to run across streets trying to defy death and they don't always make it, so that part makes it a little more difficulty to empathize with a squirrel, when I constantly see them putting themselves in harm's way. I hope the election goes very very well on Tuesday. I feel like Biden was a stronger candidate than Kamala, so I am expecting the blame game to come out when this doesn't go as well as a democratic leaning person may expect.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.H7be-01E
My news consumption over the past 24 hours has been polling polling polling, it seems like many polling outlets are dropping their final polls of the election cycle. Its so interesting in a time of so much early voting (and it feels like there has been a lot of early voting. Its like for some we could ask "how are you gonna vote" versus others maybe saying, "How did you vote" because you participate in early voting. I will admit, late morning yesterday, I did get myself into a polling place and I did cast my ballot, for President, for my CA Senator, some local offices, and a bunch of ballot propositions. What prompted me to check the news was, we have election day coming up very soon, 11-5-24 and its going to be monumental, consequential, and its going to be pretty interesting in my opinion. Now yesterday being a Saturday, the news did not distract me from my job, so that was a little change of pace. I also appreciated being able to spend more time with my kids.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.t7a9U060
Polling stories. How are we looking in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin(difficult state to poll) Michigan, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania(crucial) New Hampshire New Mexico and Minnesota(surprises).I love the polling data and how certain pockets of the country are feeling about the election and their votes. Also, in the past 24 hours this story about the squirrel in New York being put down where pretty interesting. I would say its a pretty light weight story, but worth at least looking into for its unusual nature.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.y5mF5VTk
My stress level and anxiety have been good over the past 24 hours. I haven't been overdoing it on the coffee or anything. I may as well be cool as a cucumber.
