Actually THAT hello WAS directed to you Riss! Notice my feeble attempt at your accent???

 

[Burner02]

Hey fellas-
trying to get used this new format...
Was'sup, fire! Been wondering about you! Congrats on the promo!
Has your friend been still trying to get you signed up w/ cyberwize? this is the weekend to do so if u are gonna. My sponsor told me that they are having a crazty signing bonus this weekend..and I am about to get some hard core, fast burners under neath me...might wanna get with me....seriously!

 

[Burner02]

Let's see....been feeling all kinds of depressed. Not been to the gym since Monday...couldn't drag myself to go. Rather would have rammed my head into a wall, but I am ugly enough....
Kris and I have been emailing and will try callig each other again. Monday I have to stay awake all day to get ready to rotate back to day shift on Wednesday. I had promised to help her stain her deck, and this will kill two birds w/ one stone, as it were. I will stay awake, I will be able to be around her (don't need to actually say muck, just be around her)
and eventually talk.
I still think she thinks it is more serious than it is...
I am still hopeful we can work thru it.

 

[Rissole]

It's obvious you love her bro.... Fight for it Pop the big nasty one

 

[Randy]

Yeah, Rissole will play his bag pipes at your wedding

 

[Burner02]

Ok, burner love life update.
Kristen got back from her condo this afternoon and I went over after I went to the gym to see her for afew before I had to come to work. Yes, you heard me right, I actually went to the gym! Wahoo!
I stepped into it again with her. She was mad...so we had a discussion there in her garage. It all came out, or a lot of it. I really love this woman. While I was bearing my soul with her, I lost it. My bottom lip started to quiver, and after several attempts to keep my emotions somewhat in check, the 'dam broke'. Jeez, I started crying. Yes, I did. This is the first woman I have ever shed a tear over. I've had several women piss me off, but never to affect me to the point that I"d be lost without her. yes, I told her this. I told her everything. Just let it out. After I could not sayanything more, we just held each other in each other's arms and cried. Finally, I had to pull away and head home.
After I get off work in the morning, I am going to force myself to stay awake, and go over to her place around 9am to help her stain her deck. I got some steaks out to marinate for dinner tomorrow night as well.
We have a road to travel. It is going to be rough, but I am ready to handle it.

[shortstuff]

Oh B that is so sweet!!!!!!!! I have yet to see my boy cry, EVER!! I just seem to make him mad........lately. How are things going otherrwise? Any other good trips??? Still doing realestate?

 

[Burner02]

That's funy you mention travel..I will tal to you abtou that in a bit...
Kris and I did go to Minnesota last month for her brother's graduation., That was a nice weekend. If it wasn't do humid during the summer and miserable in the winter, it would be great to live there..wtih all the water...thionk of all the lakes you can go boating / jet skiing on....

Why are you pissing off the BF? something not jivnig w/ y'all? The distance getting to you?

 

[shortstuff]

Man Mike you hit it right on the nose, the distance thing is really starting to kill us. He is getting doubtful about things when I move there, then I am having issues about his money habits, but I know that is none of my busniness but I am thinking I wish he would save more so we can get a houe and all that kind of stuff. So then on Thursday he told me there is a 50% chance he may be moving back to Sacramento, he is in San Fran right now. So that freaked me out, cause I keep thinking about me and my career but then I think it would be great to live there also plus then we could have a house. Just things like that, plus I can't see him as much and he can't come here nearly as much as I can there and then when I am there he never can take time off. So it just stuff like that. So not much

 

[Rissole]

Yay Mikey.... chicks dig it when you "bare your soul" How are you guys now?

 

[Burner02]

I think we are on the way to recovery.
it wil take some time, but we will make it. Hope there is a nice hotel near by you, pal!
When we visit, we'll need a great place to stay!

 

[Rissole]

Like i tell everyone, my shed is a great place to stay
If ya wanna keep it cheap we have room here and beer

 

[Burner02]

thanx for the offer...but I can see a little bit of the future...call me an oracle..but I see 'we are in aussie and need to have aussie hotel sex'....
but I'll take ya up on the beer!

 

[Rissole]

Ohhh yeah....

 

[Burner02]

well, this week has and will be shot all to hell.
Got a call from a new client yesterday, so didn't make the gym then. Can't go tonight, have an appointment this evening after my 21 hour day.
Have another meting right after my 12 hour day tomorrow. I will go fri. Then, next Thursday, I am going out of town for that paintball tourney..I am destined to be weak and chunky...ok, I am done feeling sorry for myself...wait...yeah..I'm done...

 

[Randy]

[Burner02]

[Burner02]

Morning,
how's things? Me? life sux. THink I just became single again lastnight...Love the girl..but tired of fighting.
Let's see....she thought I needed to go to a counsellor. I don't think I needed to. I went to make her happy. that was wrong. I guess I was supposed to go for me wanting to help fix me....
I told her I was not going to go back. I didn't see the fuqqin point of it. The girl (therapist) told me Kris and I needed to work on our commun ication. (ya think? And I am supposed to pay for thses brilliant gems of information??)
Kris got all kinds of bent. With my new budget, I have only so much $$ to spen per week on us / entertainment. Kris would rather me spend that money on my therapy..which I don't fuqqin need. I told her so. I said I'd rather take her to dinners and movies and hang out and laugh a date. She said she's be hapy staying home and watching tv..uh huh...she makes fun of a friend that is all that the couple does....
Plus...I get bored of watching tv....I like to go out once in a while.
I may be a little unreasonable on this, I don't know. Guys don't go to fuqqin therapy. They go to their friends and work it out. I've got a great network of friends and family.
I'm hurt, I'm pissed, I'm confused. I know y'all are only hearing my point of view.
I also admit that most of the problems stem from my mouth or actions. I've a great way of saying the wrong things at precisely the wrong moment.
I'm also pretty damn good to her. I know it, she knows it. Everybody around us knows it. The little annoying things I've done, I've corrected. I am not an expert in relationships. I never slowed down enough to really have one, nor had I found anyone I had wanted to have one with..so Kris got stuck with al the misstakes one makes ..but I want to work thru this..w/out going to a fuqqin counsellor...any thoughts would be appreciated...

 

[PreMier]

Wow... Sorry bro, but I really dont know what to tell you. You need to do what YOU feel is right, and if that doesnt involve therapy, then dont do it. Maybe someone else has better advice, I dont know. Again sorry to hear.

I'm still thinking Burner

 

[Burner02]

Well, I broke it off on Friday. Was not ready for that. I was hoping to talk to her face to face on Saturday. I was just finishing up w/ some clients when she called. She was up to the point. What did I want to do. I said it was best that we broke off.
I had a hard time getting to my friend's house holding myself together. As son as I got out ofthe car, he was doing something in his garage. He saw the look of my face, behind my shades and asked if I was ok.
Nope.
he said, 'Follow me'. he led me into the kitchen, cracked a beer, said 'do what you ahve to do' and walked off. I balled my eyes out for at least 20 minutes.
"What the fuq have I done?"
It got a little better. his parents came over, and we grilled left over stuf they had not cooked form their weekend camping trip..and much alcohol. I still found myself staring into nothing for long periods of time all weekend. I had no want or interest in going to the gym. just too drained.
Hopefully, I can go these couple of days. Thursday morning, I am going with my paintball team to Oklahoma for a d-day recreation. That ought to do great for keeping my mind off my problems...
So.....the FOLLOWING Monday, I should be good to go and ready to rip it in the gym again. I HAVE To get my shiat back! I may be single when I get to Vegas in October....J'bo may be there...
Something to look for....
That's me in a nutshell. Did I say? Nut? Do I need therapy?
I can't believe she fuqqin atually suggested I get fuqqin counselling.....gawd, that chaps my ass!

 

[naturaltan]

wow ... welcome to Monday.

I'm with your friend ... do whatever you need to do B ... things happen for a reason. Like you've mentioned ... on the flip side, you may be single going to Vegas during the Olympia ... that is not necessarily a bad thing - especially after the events are over. The gals need some serious stress relief.

Unless the missus gets her act together, Vegas may be out for us. She doesn't want a repeat performance were she's the only one out of shape while there for the Olympia. And boy does she have her work cut out for her. Told her to rid herself of the s/f jello puddings and butter flavoured popcorn for a start.

 

[Burner02]

Thanks, brotha-
You ARE going. End of story.
I'm sure the missus looks great. Well, take me for example. I'm in shape. Round is a shape...
I was at my old club the other night hanging out, tinking of going back to beaing a bouncer..and resintstating 'evil mike'....one of my friends was nice enough to point out that I am smaller now..um...thanks.....
On the good note, I have more time to lift....

 

[naturaltan]

let's not kid ourselves as I didn't kid her, she doesn't look great - she has some work to do.

Were we thinking about bringing a Coyote Ugly's here to Canada, but Liliana (the owner) had some bad experiences with franchise owner's doing their own thing that she didn't think fit the bar's rep, so she no longer endorses franchises. She is looking at opening one up in Toronto (of course). Oh well ... I guess we'll keep doing our computer gig for a while.

 

[Burner02]

I wanna open a liquor store...right in front of a nudie bar...I'd make bank!
