For your site -I think marvin Gaye's Let's Get it On would be a better musical choice than the one suggested by TNation
though leopard thongs are always a good choice Journey, Not A Destination

though leopard thongs are always a good choice 
That will NOT be happening.
We did go out this weekend and purchase a very nice video camera though with all the goodies for it.
We also stopped by the tattooist and while I'm sure most won't like the logo, I'm in love with it so far. He still has a lot of work to do with it, but he wanted to make sure we were feeling him so far.

Gordy could be sweet talked into it
YAY....

I love it when a plan comes together

Damn. He nailed it...hahahaha
No, I haven't talked to her at all lately. I'm feeling very unloved.
So James, dites-moi, did you use an online translator, ou est-ce-que tu parles francais bien toi-meme, mon petit chou-fleur?
Howdy Steve. It's time to insert a little filth in your diary b/c it doesn't have nearly enough.
You and Gordy could always get tattoos of leopard thongs where they would go. I would like to be present when said tattoos were being inked. Call me a sadist.

I've emailed her a couple of times with no response.... I'm concerned.
Wasn't show moving into a new house soon? That might be part of it.

That's a negative.
Quote of the day and ramdomness

So work is really getting the better of me. I've got a lot going on the fitness front, but it's in its infancy. I could certainly go out and get more clients, but that's not really the path I want to walk. Plus, it really doesn't put food on the table in the context of how my life currently is.
But this finance shit I've had about enough of. I'm sick of people bitching about the markets. I'm sick of people pretending like they know where the markets are going to go next. Frankly, I've been sick since I started. It's just not for me.....
I just found out that every single day next week half my work day and the better part of my evenings are going to be spent in the city. We're doing educational seminars for a very large company 401k plan we landed recently.
A while back, it was made clear by me that I'm done dealing with people directly in the financial capacity. I told the firm I'd leave if they couldn't handle that or keep me here as manager and financial planner. They did just that.
But this year, more and more, they're working in more and more meetings that I either have to run, or I have to be part of. Not cool in my book, as a) I dislike it and b) I'm busy enough without the meetings and we have others who are just as capable.
As always, there are big changes in my life a brewing.... I can feel them. I'm just anxiously awaiting them. Some days I deal well with anxiety. Other days, not so much.
Haha, as we speak, I'm creating a resume. I'm not even sure if I'll use it... but it's a way for me to vent internally. I think I'm going to send it to Bally's Fitness, lol. I wonder if they'd hire me.

you're human, punkin'...
Changes in your life are a good thing..... and you know these changes will make you a happier person and that will make you a better person (not that you aren't plenty happy or plenty bet right n ow -this will just make a more improved steve)
and bally's would hire you in a heartbeat... least the bally's in my area would... But that place is called gayballys by everyone as it's a total meet/meat market hook up in the lockerroom place - Not sure you'd like that much...
Keep doing what you're doing and you won't have any regrets...

I agree. I'm confident that I'll be fine in time.
But I'm having a problem with the Now Component. I don't know if it's a matter of being impatient or what.
Each day that goes on, I spend more and more of my time thinking about how much I dislike this job and love the other. And that's not productive or healthy. Stress is a bitch.
Solution?
Either suck it up and let things play out on the XXXXX.com front as there's a lot of good things happening with it and keep collecting a fat old paycheck from sucky job OR.....
let things play out on the XXXX.com front as there's a lot of good things happening with it and find a much lesser paying job in the meantime to hold off absolute poverty, lol.
I'm well aware that these are decisions only I can make.... I just have that knot in my chest and I hate that feeling. I feel like if I left sucky job now, it would be an instantaneous relief, like the world has been lifted off my shoulders. But than second guess that, thinking give it a week after leaving sucky job and I'll realize, "holy shit, I was making really good money.... am I crazy? What am I going to do now?"
I realize I have some talent that could get me hired someplace else, I'm sure. But whether someplace else would be an improvement or not is another question.
Nothing new though.... same old shit, just a different day.

money isn't everything... and while I'm sure your quality of life and style of living are quite comfortable right now - a few short term sacrifices are worth long term happiness...
So you can't buy that shiney new car... the world wil continue to revolve...
eh - i'm not telling you anythign you don't already know...

No, you're not.... but they're true words. It seems like such a complex situation in my head. And that's b/c in truth.... it really is. I just need to stop harping on it. I don't want to be that guy that bitches and bitches, yet does nothing about it. That's so not me.
What will be will be. I just need to focus on forward momentum.

In the long run, if the sucky job gives you the ability (financially) to get to your goals faster than going the poverty route (which would give instantaneous satisfaction like you said) and gives you the ability to not have to go back to said sucky job if you chose not to, it may be worth it.
Sometimes pain in the here and now is worth long-term happiness...but I know you know that.
If you can't say something nice - come sit by me
as I already said - you're human - even though in my head you wear tights and are a super hero (but only cuz you wear tights in my head
you're entitled to a little venting now and then... and you ARE doing something about it... you aren't sitting there with your thumb up your butt saying oh woe is me.. you are being proactive...

Thanks Ali.... and that seems to be the most logical way of thinking and going about it.

Hahaha, I do have a pair of tights I used to wear under my shorts when I played indoor lacrosse and football. I hate turf burn.
But you're right.... it's not like I'm bitching and doing nothing about it. I just picture the advice I'd give myself if I weren't the one in the situation, lol, as if that makes any sense at all... and I'd be saying, "follow your heart," "if it's eating you up inside, leave." blah blah blah.
I have a mental conflict that won't shut the fuck up going on in my head every single hour anymore.
I am all to familiar with that mental conflict -
be careful or you'll turn into me...
Naw - that won't happen...

That is how I usually look at things but then again, I am really adept at withstanding circumstances that I would rather not deal with (something I think most children of divorced parents are talented at). It is all about deciding what is most important to you - from what I have seen, your heart is not your 'day job' but what you do in the fitness field. Personally, if I am making the jump, I would want it to be once and only in one direction. Appreciate the sucky job for what it is - security and stability which is allowing you to follow your dream.
Sorry if that sounds preachy - it isn't meant to, I give advice for a living and sometimes I don't know when to shut up...feel free to send my ass packing at any time
At any rate, I think what you are doing is cool - a lot of people talk a big game, so few actually do something about it.

Hello Steve O' Stud puppy!! Looks like you have a little twist/and turning going on in the work force, YUK! Been there done that and got the t-shirt. In my situation, less pay and enjoying my job was the best choice I made, I never leave worked stressed out anymore, and I always look forward to going into work, that's the best part of all. You will figure out which path to take, in your own time. Good Luck to you!!
Hugs

I suspect we all have it going on up there.....
Mine just seems to be a bit more violent than I'm used to.
