He did, yes--he complains that his eyes are screwed up by the diabetes, and he gets horrible migraine headaches. He seems to have the brainpower to remember all sorts of information and I'm constantly like, "HOW do you know that?!?!!?" :eek2:

I know a guy like that. It's as if he knows everything... can speak intelligently on pretty much any level. He has an extreme passion for self-education and his brain is like a sponge.

I've always felt a) lucky for having the opportunity to converse with him and b) jealous as fuck b/c I want to have that ability.
 
Me too! Then again, if I have a question, I can just ask him. We were watching this belly dancing video on youtube and someone had posted a Q: what kind of sword is she dancing with? And I asked Chris, and he chirped, "That is a Kris, it's Turkish and was used by the Israelis in the 1100s--I have a book right there, if you want to read more...."
 
There's a difference between finding out the answer from the guy and knowing the answer for yourself. My brain has a limited capacity, or so it seems. I read a metric ton regarding fitness and nutrition. If I were to apply myself equally in other areas... it would be a jumbled mess upstairs and I wouldn't be helping people the way I do.
 
Holy macaroni!

I just repped you and realized your rep is almost equal to mine.

How can this be!?

Oh... uh-uh... not on my watch! It's time to turn it up a notch.
 
We've been getting the Baliwood videos from the library. The dance numbers are so amazing, but guys bellydancing, well more comical then anything else. It's funny how the dance numbers spring out of nowhere and have nothing to do with the plot.
 
They can be histerical, but some times it's just too much and we'll turn it off. Getting it free from the library makes it easy to just try.
 
Holy shit, I never thought I'd hear something like this being said on the news. WOW I must be overly emotional because I almost cried (AGAIN today) over this shit, and I'm not even close to being gay!
 
LOVE :beating: Sigh! I heart Keith Olbermann.

ANYWAY,

So I ran for 42 minutes and this time I was much faster than Monday, so while I ran for 41 minutes Monday, today I went significantly farther.

The problem is motivation. Now, for me, motivational problems are my attitude. The end result is this: I have ran about 4-5 miles Sunday, Monday and today (Wed). BUT I didn't want to, and today I grouchily ran and was bratty when I came back, thinking "Oh I'm getting slower than when I was 24 and I don't feel like doing HIIT with sprints to get faster." I don't like my attitude right now, but at the very least, my run today was much better than Monday's.

I had a good lunch of a brown rice-tofu-veggie bowl, but ate BEN & JERRY's ice cream, after :p Light dinner, and lots of labor at Chris's and I'll come out even for today, and work on deficits tomorrow. Just no surpluses! :smash:

Val, this guy is spot on!! Wish more people thought this way. I have had the same argument with a coworker. Kieth made my point exactly. What difference does it make to everyone else? If you're not gay, how does it affect you one way or another?

I DO live in a state that recognizes gay marriage (for now) and will support it anytime it comes up.

Melissa: Awww, thanks! :eek: Chris almost never leaves the house except to go to the doctor's. He says he has a hard time getting up, even. He's in pain, but also he thinks his depression, OCD, and sometimes irrational fears keep him from doing things. Everytime I see him I try to talk sense into him, because he's very logical and receptive to reason. So I say, "Chris, what are you afraid of? Don't you realize your fears are holding you back? I know you like to say 'I'm screwed up,' but don't you want to change?" and he'll say "I think I'm afraid of change," and I'll go on to remind him that his current routine is only killing him slowly and blah blah blah, basically I'm trying to get him to think past his phobias. Dammit, if I had training in this matter I bet I could do more, but I always seem to help him--whenever I ask him out to dinner or to a friend's, or whatever, he always comes and is happy he comes. He says the pain is worth it :)

Has he watched "The Secret" yet? There is a DVD and a book. I've seen the DVD and have bought a couple copies and given them to people that I care about. I've a firm believer in the concepts in The Secret. I live them daily and am quite happy with my life. I also have a vision board in my bedroom and update it frequently with pictures of goals I want to accomplish in the future. It helps me stay focused and positive on both my short term and long term goals.

Just recently I took down my marathon photos and replaced them with triathlon photos and also a picture of a mother and daughter at a beach. I tear these out of magazines and put them on my board. In my future I want to be successful in a triathlon and I also want a family. Not sure how I will get from A to B but that doesn't matter a the moment. What matters is that I am "attracting" these things into my life :)

OK, I might sound like a lunatic but that is my 2 cents. LOL
