Today was beautiful, I DO love the weather here but wish I were on the coast. Hit the gym. Don't often, usually just swim. And goddamn my trainer kisses my ass. Whipped his record today with 121 sit-ups in a minute.... Also with 40 reps maxxed out (275 lbs.) on the ab machine. Drew a crowd with that.... Have to thank all those old commercial...

As a matter of fact, I did have a student with a crush on me. He asked me out early on in the semester but I told him I didn't date students. I told him "you're my responsibility until midnight December 15th." He sent me an email time stamped 12:03 a.m. on the 16th asking me out. He was 12 years younger than me but we actually made a go of it for several months. It was a Valentine's Day break-up, I'm afraid. I believed he needed to be with his 22year old buddies and I felt like an old timer at 34, way too old for his "rave" lifestyle. I did miss the sex for quite a while, though. Can't deny that it was fun. Now I'm teaching at a private Christian university where anything smacking of sex is deeply frowned upon. Those quakers take their celibacy pretty seriously.
What the hell made you ask, anyway???

Hey there..
this is MunkE's fiancee, just wanted to let you know that he doesn't have easy access to a computer right now, so he can't log on to SG, so if you wanted to contact him call him on his cell phone!
thanks!

We've got to respect our elders. I'm thinking back now to the most painful realization of this I ever had....
Once upon a time there were five crab fishermen, all "highliners" in Alaska, best of the best, could get a job on any boat, or captain their own vessel outright. But they were undefeatable together, with their various specialties. I was one of them, making...

amazing story and ain't it the truth sometimes the tuth lies in the simplest place. i mean seriously for all the millios and expert you can pull in there is usually a simple answer to be found if we're only willing to listen. fortunately i have learned that lesson on less expensive adventures but you got to admit the adventure was worth the experince and taught you things and gave you experiences you would have never had. thanks for sharing that.it is very hummbling to read.
also i could just picture you with a wooden leg eye patch and a corncob pipe as you layed out the story to a bunch of wet behind the ear fisherman. you truly are amazing. the more i learn the more i realize what an interstesting friend i have found in you.

Thanks for the concern, I'm really touched. Frankly I've been drinking and not rereading my posts. I was angling on the short life thing because I feel I just have so much to accomplish; and the "s" adjective is a bit...

What is it in the air that's causing people to do the serious double takes on their lives right now? I've been wandering around for the last week or so under that same little cloud. In some ways, I've never been happier and in other ways I've never been more miserable. Why can't the universe just get it right?!?!?
I envy your ability to re-invent yourself.
And I'm glad to see you're all in one piece!

A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough. Or I am still hoping. So lonely and reminiscent now. Even though the frisbee floated a good 60-80 yards after my spiritual windup. Me and the dog could be an olympic event. For alchoholic loser AWOL bums....
So today I am still horribly horny; depressed, and suicidal.
NO happy go...

Hey! Do NOT use words like "suicidal" in your journal and then disappear for days! You scare me!
You okay?

I'm an asshole; I know this. But, like many things in life, it's an acquired taste. I've been posting lately about being nice and positive and happy. Down inside, I'm a tortured mess. I made the wrong turn at Albuquerque, as Bugs Bunny would say. And yeah, I was about thirteen outside Sandia Labs there now that I think about it. Juvenile delinquent.

i would love to do some cycling with you. i think i am going to have to switch to a long board this summer my board i have been riding was a 6' 11" with a thruster tail setup i loved it but it wants to sink on me too fast before i can pop up and i am going to have to relearn that since it's been awhile, but hell it i take care of that we can it it all!
I should maybe change my look. The black leather biker jacket and black skullcap just make me look like the guy your mother always warned you about. I don't know a whole lot about fashion. I know that one item men wear that seems to empower them only makes me feel vulnerable. A tie. Just feel like it's this huge target (all that self defense...

Hey - thanks for the nice notes about my vacation - you actually lived in South Beach? What a freaked out place. The Carribean rocked and I wish I could've stayed.
Don't let this woman get you down.
I know what you mean about worrying about what you are looking like. Looking at the other pictures you have, why not get rid of the goatee? Your smooth skin might make you a bit more approachable? Just an idea.
Happy Valentine's Day.![smile](https://dz3ixmv6nok8z.cloudfront.net/static/img/emoticons/smile.0d0a8d99a741.gif)

So today I think of art and science. Stradivarius only selected the most perfect specimens of spruce, that had tumbled down certain mountain streams, for their mineral content. That tonal quality is still treasured two centuries later. He had a very scientific mind....
On the other hand, I came up to Luke today, sanding away blindfolded. He was using more power sanders than his hands,...

Wow that is all i have to say is wow. That is incredible that you have the ability to do all of that. It always amazes me people who can tell the species, age quality, grain, carve by hand and simply do what you just described. I am always floored and somewhat envious, but we all have our gifts and abiities that we are strongest at. I am quite happy that for the most part I can tell you what species of tree i am looking at from its leaf and bark, but to take that to a block or sheet of wood and that to me is where the majic begins. I can tell the hardwoods from say pine and such, but after that I am incredibly hopeless.
Thanks for sharing such an amazing story and piece of history that I was not aware of!

Hey stranger.
It's been said that anything worth doing is worth doing right. Apparently young Luke feels the same way. By the way, he was the one responsible for the explosion last week. So, a week later, having been relegated to cleanup duty, I'm surprised he is still so vigorous instead of moping about, much less not having quit yet, to work at a mall or something....

do you mean you feed your dog people food? if so, be careful with that - all sorts of foods are toxic to dogs (chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, farmed salmon, and these in large quanties are toxic: garlic, tomatoes, apples, apricots, cherries, broccoli... to name the common ones).

I've been here for nearly 9 months and have as yet escaped the infamous "tagging". I always love reading what people post here, but I fear I'd probably be utterly boring in my replies. (maybe everyone's figured that out about me and that's why I've never been tagged. hmmmm, could it be?)
And go easy on your liver, my dear. It's meant to last a long time, k? Don't make me come over there!
