Journey, Not A Destination

I agree. The green hyperlinks are annoying as hell. :cuss:

I am not seeing these annoying links. I have selective attention though, at least that's what I like to claim.

I wanna see Steve belly dance. Now that would be some hot shit. :reddevil:

To get that on video, there would have to be a large amount of alcohol involved. Not saying it couldn't happen.
 
Hope you had fun fishing... :)

Think of how nice it will be - when you are in your new place.. and you can take baby maleficent (a perfectly appropriate name for a boy or a girl or even twins) out to the stream out back and fish whenever your heart desires... or are driving Krista so crazy she needs you to go away for a few minutes :D

I honestly don't know how much I will fish in my backyard. Sure, it will be an amazing resource for my future children and I know for a fact I will spend a ton of time reading next to it. I'm sort of losing my bug to fish though, which is strange. It happened to my father too which no one ever thought would happen.

I'm more interested in building dams and stocking it with fish and feeding them until they are huge, lol.
 
What's with the new advertisements? They are driving me up a wall. :cuss:

Obviously i know you have nothing to do with it. Didnt know if there was a way to get rid of it?

I'm seeing them at home but not at work; I guess our work PCs have lots more anti-spyware/annoying stuff built in.

I hate the new Firefox because it doesn't seem to work well with Vista; can anyone point me to something that will get rid of the ads on IE 7?
 
Quotes and Randomness

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."


I believe I posted this one before but it's a good one and deserves another showing:

The new standard. The past is irrelevant. Your dead end town, the job you hate, your friends that can't relate, the opinions of a family that doesn't understand… All equally meaningless. Fuck the short change, the dirty deeds and the tough breaks. Forget the lapses in judgment, the flaws in character and the decisions you wish you could get back. The new standard begins today. Born of the bubbling cauldron of dreams and ambitions blended with your concept of an ideal life, mixed with the manner in wish you always wished you'd presented yourself, this teeming amalgamation must be allowed to boil over, to spill into the nooks and the crevices of your existence, drowning out the failures of yesteryear. So much of who we are is predicated on how others react to us. So much of our perception of self grows forth from the reactions of others. This new standard demands that you present yourself in a fashion befitting your stature and in turn people will treat you accordingly. Hold yourself to the dictates and demands of this lofty archetype that you yourself have established. Be damned what the world expects of you, it should pale in comparison to what you expect from yourself. For when you demand only excellence, even your low points will exceed the best days of your peers. Look in the mirror and be proud of the man you've become, hold your head high enthused over the man you're becoming. The future begins now. This is the new standard.

Fishing was nice yesterday. We didn't get to do all that much of it since we had other things to take care of. But when the weather is as amazing as it was, any time spent outside next to water is good in my opinion.

I just found out Gordy is going to Hawaii in a month or so. Krista and I were invited but it's not something we can do at the moment given all this stuff with the new house. It's unfortunate too, I've been dying to go back there. Especially with people who have never been before so I could show them all the amazing things Krista and I found.

Gordy and his fiance are actually camping on the beach, from what I understand. I know quite a few people do that. It's something I could/would do for a few days then I would want to hit up a nice resort.

Nothing new and exciting. Barely getting by with my workouts and nutrition. It's not that I couldn't do better... I certainly could. I just have a bunch of junk in play right now and some of it outweighs the importance of working out.

ooooh revenge of the mutant fish...

I can see the Movie trailers now...

Young steve spent a lifetime catching and releasing fish...

Now the fish are going to rise up and catch and release him? :D

it'll be 3-D and make gajillions :D
 
Haha, I will always dominate when it comes to fish, no matter how big they get.

Hence the last name.

Are there lots of mosquitoes? Or none? Or at certain times of the year? I HATE those fuckers. Allergic to the bites, but for whatever reason I am not allergic to flea bites. Stranger situations have occurred.....

Ah, bummer! The air quality SUCKS though. I mean, it sucks on the mainland in lots of cities but it's STRAIGHT heavy metals in some areas of HI--no good, need to eat lots of collard greens :D

I understand--no more washboard abs???............

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing this and the other words of wisdom. Makes sense to me, and is always nice to reflect on.

Hope you have a great week Steve!!

I'm sure there is a lot of bugs given the proximity to the stream. I haven't had a lot of problems with mosquitoes along streams though. Guess I'll find out.

Nope, can barely see them at the moment. But that's also b/c I'm in the midst of a half-assed attempt to bulk. My abs always go in hiding when I bulk.

LOL!!! That is the perfect excuse, the best I've ever heard!!

Some dudehole: "Hey man, getting soft around the middle, ain'tcha?"
Appropriate Response: I'm bulking, My abs always go in hiding when I bulk." ;) :) :D
 
It's the truth though. If I want to hypertrophy, I need to eat a lot. When I eat enough to generate said hypertrophy, my belly stores some fat. It's coded in my genetics, unfortunately.
 
I am getting a shit ton of work done on my forum today...

It feels so good when I devote time to that front!

I was just teasing ;) But that is likewise a great excuse!!!! Nah I know ALL ABOUT the personal-fat-storage-genetics thing. I'm thankful for aspects of my body that I consider a genetic blessing and I try to not let the parts of my body for which I curse my genetics, get to me.

Glad you're getting a lot done! :D

Can't wait to be able to post there... I'd rather start all over than have to deal with some of the crap I've gotta cut through over here.
