Welcome

I plan to use this journal as a collection of random thoughts/ideas I get throughout 2004. After reading other similar journals, I think it will be interesting to read what happened throughout the year.
 
thought #1

after picking up the latest Muscle Developement, I now realize just how big Ronnie Coleman is! On page 154, they do a comparison type photospread, the Ronnie is just massive.

Don't know or care if he is better than anyone, just that he is massive. Wow!

Internet relationships.

Over the past 3 years, I've seen people come and go. Some leave an impression, others don't. One 'couple' I've enjoyed watching become a couple is Jenny and Eggs. It started as what I thought was more internet flirting, but has now developed into a full fledged love affair. :D

On the other side of friendships, I've seen a few destroyed. A few couples parted ways. One I know about, the other I've only heard via forum gossip. And one friendship I had and I ruined ... I am sad about it and handled it incorrectly. Had I had the chance to do the person to person meeting over, I'd certainly do it differently.
 
thought #3

getting old ... :eek:

After New Years Eve, I can see that our choice in clubs will be changing. Although it is much more fun to watch the young people via for each other's attention, it's not worth the silly attitude that goes with it. Am I getting setup to 'watch TV' on weekends ... I certainly hope not. There are a few clubs that cater to an older age bracket, but again, they are not as much fun as most just sit and talk. Boring!

The missus is starting to take longer to recoupe from weekend outings as well ... :( That is also a bad sign as I only go out when she does ...

Aww, NT :D It started out being a friendship, where we both had boyfriend/girlfriend IRL. He helped me through hard times and I, well I don't know what I did :rolleyes: :D We developed deep feelings for each other and my mom remember me telling her how well we'd go together a whole year before we met IRL :D Then we both broke up with our significant others and the flirting started for real.. I remember some PMs with so much reading between the lines that I was laughing out loud. We confessed our feelings for each other and it all progressed to the point where we had to meet.. And we did :D I truly believe that he is my soul mate :heartpump
 
I think it is a great story Jenny! Especially seeing that you two live in different countries. I wish you both the very best!
 
thought #4

I have to say that I respect all those here and that I know here at home who are in their own way battling what they see as not their ideal body look. I do not know if I could be as strong as those here. God has given me the genetics to do what I'd like to do in terms of weight lifting. I am thankful for that. I sometimes do not give the missus enough credit for really trying hard to get to where she wants to be. I know that most here deserve a simple nice going for even attempting such a diet/lifestyle change. To all you who read this, I applaude you!! I really cannot say that I'd be able to do what you are doing or have done!
 
NT you make some awesome points here! Thought #4 hits me the most (along with the getting old thing...lol) First I applaud you for giving God credit for your genetics. The other part of that is so many of us on this board are not the ideal body type (I've got 40lbs to lose still) but because of the support of everyone here it helps us keep going. For that reason, I will soon post my before (which are way icky!) and current pics (definitely still in progress.) Maybe there is someone reading this board that may be where I started and could be inspired to know that others can relate. Anyway..I could ramble on and on about this but I feel so strongly that this board has kept me going and I'm grateful for the encouragement :)
 
Hammer/Jenny ... thanks for visiting my journal. Any visits are welcome. :)

Hammer ... you're welcome. You and all the others really deserve all the support and encouragement you get. I have thought long and hard about it and I'm not sure that I would be as strong as any of you. I'd like to think I could do what you're doing, but I reall can't say with any certainy that I would. Keep doing what you're doing Hammer. Your goals are within your reach!!
 
thought #5

I know doctors are not miracle workers, but I hope they find out what is wrong with my wife. They have given her perscriptions for pain killers for what appears to be IBS since just before Christmas.

Hey babe, glad you have a journal, it will be a nice thread to relax in :thumb: Very sorry to hear about Mrs. NT, I'll say a prayer for her. Your very insightful, I'm happy to read your thoughts and see your compassion, it's nice :)
 
Hey Katie ... thanks for stopping by. I'm not that insightful, just thought it would be neat to re-read these thoughts some time down the road. But do feel free to drop in and chime in about whatever you think you might want to.

Thanks for the prayer ... I'm sure she'd appreciate that. :)
 
Hey NT, great reading this type of stuff. IBS meaning iliotibial band syndrome? If so, let me know I might be able to scrounge up some resources for you.
 
PB ... thanks.

IBS I thought stood for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

the first new colour combination of the new year is red and black.
 
Whoops - my mistake. You can't stretch that. ;)
 
thought #6

Mrs.NT has the insane ability to talk most women into baring their breasts and most times it's at the bar or strip club ... sometimes it's good to be Mr.NT. ;)

thought #7

I think I should purchase a MB this spring and do the 24 hours of adrenaline. Got as far as looking at bikes last spring, but this year I think I should go on step further and actually purchase a bike.

While I'm on the subject of purchasing, I think I should get a new pool cue as well. The Mrs. said that I should get a new one as well :D and if she says get one, I should take her up on that offer - QUICKLY
 
thought #8

My resolution is to get my truck in running order :D

I'm one gas tank and a fix to the lock away from driving it where I could leave it without having to have it in sight.
 
NT, your really cool, ever thought about starting like a "Dr. NT" thread, you know where we come to you with our problems and you fix it :D
 
This is a great journal :thumb:

As Katie said it will be a nice thread to relax in. I often wonder what others ponder... It is quite interesting to say the least.
 
Katie ... I have a hard enough time keeping my issues all straight :lol: but if you have any issues, you can bring them here and at the very least, we'll throw some ideas back and forth.

Premier ... I have enjoyed reading David's journal as well as Pitboss' when he posted here. It is quite interesting to see what was happening days/weeks/months and years ago. That is why I have started this one ... glad you popped in. If you have anything to add, to comment on, to disagree with, fire away.

thought #9

EFAs in the form of fish oil caps, what a great find for me. Although I didn't care for hemp/flax oil, these you don't taste so it's all good! :thumb:
 
thought #11

my manager just sent an email out indicating that next Wednesday there would be 5 hour meeting. What in heavens name could a group of 6 people that manages backups talk about for 5 hours? :shrug: She didn't even have an agenda and asked for topics members wanted to discuss. I wanted to ask "Can we talk about the rampant misuse of company time" ... but instead sent an email back saying, what could there possibly be to talk about for 5 hours. Not even the missus can talk for that long. :hehe:
