next time I decide to go outside and do a photoshoot in the ruralest parts of rural Montana, bring mosquito spray! I’m still itching all over.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · In about 5 hours, I’m going to conduct my first photoshoot. I’m taking photos of my friend’s daughter and boyfriend, two kids I’ve known for years, and I’m both nervous and excited. I told my friend I was nervous, and she said, “I am betting that you are going to be very good at this,” and if that doesn’t instill a man with confidence, I don’t know what will.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · I changed the oil and filter on my Jeep Patriot today. This was my first time conducting my own oil and filter change on my car in my life, and I really enjoyed it. It was fun, challenging, frustrating, rewarding, and a great learning experience. I can’t wait to do it again in 3,000 miles.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · I helped coached my first set of middle school boys basketball games today, and I have to say, I had loads of fun! I didn’t play basketball growing up and I didn’t know much about the game before I signed on to help coach, but after a few weeks with these boys and coach Pederson, I’m beginning to enjoy and maybe even love this game. I’m excited for the rest of this season!original ↗

Mario Villalobos · If I manage to live as long as I am expected to live as an American male in the year 2024, then I have about 12,000 days left to live. My focus at this moment is to live better today than I did yesterday, and if I manage to do that for every one of the 12,000 days I have left, then I think I can live a full life.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · Stop it with the excuses. Stop it with the mental dishonesty. Push myself until I cry. Push myself until my body can’t take it anymore. Push myself until I see the white light at the end of the tunnel.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · On Tuesday, we ended our 2024 middle school football season with a win. I am going to miss everything about this season, from seeing my boys every day, to traveling with them, to game days. I’m so grateful for everything. See you guys again next year.original ↗

Mario Villalobos · From Tuesday, about an hour before our fourth game of the season. It was a tough one, but I think it was a turning point for everyone. Our boys fought from start to finish, and we all became stronger by the end. I love these boys and I’m proud to be their coach.original ↗
