Well, two months later, and I'm still in the home buying process. What a process it is. Every time I think everything is moving forward, somebody throws a wrench in the works. Thankfully my Real Estate Agent and my Lending Agent are both good friends, and they are making sure all the Is are dotted and the Ts are crossed. Hopefully, I'll be able to close by the end of October.
Until then, I'm living in the spare bedroom at my ex's house. We still get along OK, but she's definitely ready for me to be out. She's been an angel in letting me stay there, though. I tried and tried, but couldn't find a short term rental that would allow me to house my dog and my motorcycles.
I let myself get really out of shape over the last few years. I weighed 245 at the beginning of the summer. I weighed in yesterday at 215. Been in the gym on my lunch breaks, and going trail running in the mountain in the afternoons. My goal is to hit 180 - 190 by springtime. I should post some new pics here to show my progress thus far.
I've been talking to this one girl. She's sweet, sassy, cute, and sexy, but she's really been keeping me at arms length. She swears she's not playing games, and just needs to take it slow, but sometimes, I'm not so sure. Hope she realizes that keeping someone like me, who attacks everything with rabid intensity, at arm's length can lead do disinterest on my part. It's my nature, and there's nothing I can do about it.
All in all, even though I have a lot going on, and a fair amount of uncertainty, I feel like I'm moving in the right direction. I've been hanging out with my hoodlum friends more, who are the friends that like to spend time in the woods trail running, river tubing, and mountain biking. They are the friends that like to go out and get loud at the bars and push people's buttons. They are also the friends that help me maintain my IDGAF attitude when shit starts to stick to my psyche a little too tightly.
Also, Zippo has become one of the greatest digital friends a guy could ask for. Always there to answer a text or an IM when I need to talk. Thanks Zip!!
Some people I know have a hard time grasping the whole digital friendship thing, but to me, it's just as easy as getting to know someone in person.
I've had a few conversations with some very interesting folks her on SG. I hope to build up a few new friendships here. The people on this site are the one's that I would gravitate to at the local hangouts anyway, so I feel like SG is just a larger digital extension of my tribe.
Hope this day finds all of my friends well and moving on a path of self realization and with the energy and understanding to let your true inner selves shine through without having to hold back.
Much Luv

Everyone I know is buying right now. Can't beat that tax credit, can you? Congrats on life on the good course, and all your progress with fitness.
