Journey, Not A Destination

Meh what will be will be. My expectations are managed fine. It's Krista I'm worried about. I think she has already put herself, mentally, in that home. For her, there's nothing but pros to getting it.

That's not the case with me.
 
while you two seem to share a lot of the same characteristics personality wise (sense of humor, letting the other person be themselves, non jealousness, and maintaining your own separate interests) those differences are what make the relationship work even better..

She'll be fine because she comes home to you - and you (and frank and bob and baby maleficent in the future) are what make home a home... not the roof over your head..

You know that though (and I expect she does as well) i'm just being annoyingly sentimental.. :D
 
Wise words Mal. Thanks. And I live my life under the umbrella of, "happiness rests in the mind. it's interal."

And Krista does too... not as strongly as me, but she does. I think I'll remind her of it though, so thanks again.
 
I'm about to head out to dinner. Going to this bar that has the most amazing hot wings... yum!

Weekend has been pretty boring. Most of Saturday I spent working. I alleviated a lot of lingering stress I've had in the background by 'cleaning house' so to speak at the office.

Most of today has been about cleaning our current house. Our realtor is coming over tomorrow to give us an estimated market value based on it and the surrounding recent home sales. We're also going to meet with a septic professional tomorrow afternoon his findings of the new house.

We haven't heard anything about the people who were looking at it on Friday. Actually, I heard that on Friday the wife looked at it and on Saturday the wife and hubby were coming back for a second look for him and a third look for her... so obviously pretty interested.

I'm confident for some reason but it's just a gut feeling.

I'm actually going on a small vacation this week. We leave on either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning for Lake Anna in Virginia. It's a family trip... there's 18 of us going down until Saturday. Well some have been down there for 2 weeks but I'm just going down for the tail end. It should be fun. I doubt I can handle much more than 3 full days in one house with that much fam.

Hope everyone is well.
 
Thanks Mal. Wings were delicious last night... really hit the spot.

Training and diet are a bit off with all this house stuff and my upcoming trip. When I get back from there, I'm ready to hit it hard though. I'm ready to get back up to 200ish.
 
havent you posted pictures of her before?

Does she do competitions?

I personally don't understand why females would want to look like that -vut since she's put in the work she clearly does so -rock on with herself...

I can definitely relate to the wanting it.. However a person has to more than really want to do something - I really want a lot of things.. without putting in the effort wants are kind of meaningless..

Nope.

I've posted pictures of Noel, who is the chick in the GHR video I just posted in the other thread.

I've also posted pictures of that "built" chick who was insanely lean at one time. I use her photos to show people different bf% levels.

Yea, it's all about individual preferences. It's the same bug I have of constantly building up muscle and shedding fat, only to turn around again and build more muscle, etc.

For men, it makes sense in traditional society b/c the muscular image is something accepted by society as a whole.

For females, in the eyes of many, it doesn't make much sense.

For me though, it's nothing unusual. It's not something I prefer in a woman but it's certainly not something I hold against. In fact, it's damn impressive from my perspective.

I tend to let people do their thing, as long as it makes them happy and doesn't affect me. I think you're the same way Mal. :)

The things I really want in life I go after relentlessly, really. I've programmed myself to consider what I want vs. time. Time is limited and I don't feel complete unless I'm trying to acheive the things I want on a consistent basis, so I strive.

That leaves me happy.

Stiving leads to consistency and more often than not, consistency (mixed with a little direction and/or know-how) leads to results.

'zackly - do what you do if it makes you happy... :D

My fascination with the what makes people tick though will often make me ask why they are doing it -- not in a bad finger wagging sort of way but a curious sort of way...
 
Yea, I'm the same way. I swear I'd love to be an anthropologist or something like that. Or a psychologist or something. I just love to hear what makes people tick.

And are most people really in the 'driver's seat' or are they on autopilot just floating in a flow of either unconscious decisions or reactionary to what's happening around them?

Alright, I'd love to chit chat, but I'm going to meet the realtor now.

I will have undergraduate degrees in both by 2010. I take a lot of unnecessary classes

Also, happy business. ^_^

Me too. I'm an English major that's taken Field Ecology, Anthropology, and International Conflict. :D Yay for the individually sculpted academic "cognate"...whatever the hell that is.
 
Good afternoon Steve!

It's lovely, trust me :D Grad school is for my thirties, though....

I remember Noel! My housemate Barry is terribly turned on by body builder chicks. I always tease him that he can't wait to find one to throw him around in bed like a rag doll, hahaha and he always laughs and is like "Yeah!" He has a book called Physique, which is some man photographer's shoots of some of the most famous women body builders, but most are nude or semi-nude, and the photos are all black and white. It's very interesting, when I see a body builder chick I think "Wow that is amazing, that's a lot of hard ass work!" because I know it is! I understand that most people immediately think that it's not aesthetically pleasing for women, but I don't automatically think in the traditional mode when it comes to looks. I DO enjoy looking at a buff chick out of sheer amazement, like looking at art, somewhat.

So true...we are so much alike. I don't know whether our personality types are a blessing or a curse. On one had we accomplish so much and people look up to us...but on the other hand we never rest. Always reaching and setting that next goal. It's very rare that I can be lazy and feel good about it. Something I'm trying to work on. R&R is not being lazy...but w/so much to get done in this lifetime I can't help but feel unproductive!! LOL What a vicious circle.

You still killing those circuits? What this about wings and 200lbs?
