Hello all, I’m Derek
This is my blog and “live uncomfortably” is my motto. These simple words are what I now base my life and everyday decisions around.
Living Uncomfortably is doing the unaccustomed everyday to break the cycle of routine and boredom. In my eyes, this is the only way to grow and develop as a person. We must push ourselves each day to do things that aren’t necessarily within our comfort zones.
This blog will document my experiments and experiences using the words “live uncomfortably” as my guide.

Hi Derick (notice one “r” not two this time)
Mike told me about your site and I think it’s great. I can’t wait to finish reading through it. So glad to hear you survived your haircut and that you really like it.
Mike always teases me about the Fear Factor but I blame it on Motherhood…something just changes when you are caring about the lives of those you love. I talk to pretty much anybody, folks in line at the Post Office, grocery stores, restaurants etc but I don’t always carry on with those who start the conversation…it depends on the time of day, if I’m in a hurry (although I ALWAYS talk to old people) and truthfully, what they look like..it sounds bad but I admit it…some people are just scary looking!
I’ve been reading the Oprah book, “A New Earth”, don’t laugh, it’s pretty good…a lot of what the author says, I’ve already known as common sense, much of it is pretty heavy and deep but most of it is uplifting with the basic idea of us, mankind, all getting along. I can pass it along when I’m finished if you’d like.
Good luck and I’ll keep checking in on you. I guess we’ll be seeing you around Escondido for a little while soon.
I’ll leave you with “You don’t live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance”
Monica - Mike’s mom
Beans-
You wanna live uncomfortably? That’s cool man.
I have not had time to read all of your….writings yet, (G informed me of this site ~10 hrs ago, of which ~8 are annulled due to severe psychological/physical impairment, seriously!) but just from reading the post on your “Harvard” and from the titles of other postings, I get the impression that your site is, at minimum, entertaining.
I’ll be back,

so what kind of “juice” are you surving on with your fast? the picture of you by clay — well, you’re looking really skinny. don’t get too thin — there won’t be anything to hug. girls like a little meat on their men unusually.
kathy and i want to go to a fat camp. can you devise one for us? you could be our trainer!
“unusually” should be “usally.”
I agree! Getting outside our comfort zone cultivates spiritual growth. I’ve learned that If It’s uncomfortable I should probably be doing it! I look forward to reading more of your writes.
