Random Musings
- I am not as happy as I want to be. I'll get there. At least I am beginning to feel "not rotten."
- I'm starting to work out regularly again. That helps me to feel happier. Having had a taste of what it's like to be a sloth (my definition), it doesn't surprise me how many angry, out of shape people there are in the world.
- Never thought I'd say this--but a workout done slowly is still a workout. I miss the pain.
- I'll take physical pain from working out any day over being overstressed, overweight, inactive, mad at the world or ungrateful.
- What is it with sociopaths? I suppose I should feel sorry for them, but I don't. They sure don't have any empathy towards me. ATTENTION SOCIOPATHS: I'm onto your game.
- I can still appreciate hotties even though I am not one. What does that make me? A hottie hag?
- I can't swim worth shit, but I still like doing it. Being in the water and not thinking about anything besides trying to get across the damn pool and feeling the water on my body and just breathing and not sinking is enough for about 1 hour. Getting to watch other great swimmers (guys)--BONUS! The B-Man rocks!
- My favorite colors right now are pink and black. Anything goes with black and pink makes people notice.
- I'm not smiling as much as I did a few months ago, but that will come back. I really like to smile!
- I continue to find it amusing at the number of professional people who can't separate facts from emotions. Both are, but both are very different.
- I understand people who don't know what to say to me right now, or who don't understand my change into this person who I am right now. I imagine it's confusing to see someone who normally appears so together and such appear to be falling apart randomly. If there's one thing I learned is that one needs to learn about how to fall apart and then put oneself back together again. Right now I'm sort of stuck in a Humpty Dumpty loop--sit on wall, feel in control, fall off, fall apart, climb back up, repeat. Eventually I'll get back to climb wall, do cartwheels on wall, laugh at anyone not on wall, stay up there for months at a time, and climb down when I feel like it.
- The way I like to be treated is give me the damn facts, and then let me choose my own emotions. Don't impose your emotions on me unless it's pure, unadulterated joy!
- Mean people will always suck.
- Everyone is more attractive when they smile.
- I want a sign for my yard that reads: INVISIBLE DOG--FENCE IN TRAINING.
- I want to be able to make some workouts hurt. I'm getting there on the bike. That's my #1 priority right now.
- I can't wait for Ironman #11. THIS ONE GOES UP TO ELEVEN!

Invisible dog - fence in training -to fuckin' funny! I love it, had to read it twice, but funny.
Nice to see you posting again and your feelings are more than understandable to anyone that has any sort of heart or emotional value!
Move over humpty she is coming to kick your ass :o)
ALL RIGHT DUDE:
- Good list.
- I am phrasing this comment in the form of a list, in recognition of your List.
- It's Funny how a really intense, hate-filled workout makes us feel better. Git-r-Done.
- You'd better be doing your Fermilab loop in under 30 minutes by the end of the year. 30+ mph, I hear it calling your name.
- I'm shooting for doing Triple T in two years. You'd better be up for tackling it with me, or at least watching me blaze by you on the bike on Day 3.
- I haven't commented much here due to your List Item #11 ("I understand people who don't know what to say to me right now"). But just know that I'm hoping that everything settles in for you at some point soon.
See you later, Crack Head!
Hey, it seemed like you hadn't posted in a while. I've been thinking about you...
Just caught up on you. Sounds like you're moving in the right direction... When bad stuff happens, I try to remember to give myself permission to feel like crap for a while. Life isn't always rosey. But the only constant is change, and the rosey always comes back around.
(How's that for someone who doesn't know what to say? take care).
I am so sorry for you for the loss of your Dad. You've had a rough few years of family life. I'm glad that you are beginning to feel better and beginning too smile a bit. I'm sure it will be a very long process, but you will get through. One day at a time. Wow, Ironman #11. That Rocks.
Climb the wall, OWN the wall!
Hang in there.
Yeah, people and emotions at work. It's a job people, treat it like such.
I miss the hard bike workouts these days too. I'm taking elliptical and weight workouts as an alternative, but it's not quite the same pain :(
nice to see you back!
give yourself time, mang. Your dad died. You may have noticed that it kinda hurts to lose a parent - I think the world will understand if you fall apart once in awhile. You are still OK.
Pink and black rawks!
I like your idea about the invisible dog.
We have an
"Unattended children will be given an espresso and free puppy" sign.
It rocks :)
