Since the new year I have seen this guy on my evening runs. He was a big guy be he sweated it out and now he looks great, kind of like Seth Rogan when he was a bit heavier. (I've always had a thing for Seth Rogan) Anyways I want to tell him that he looks great and what a good job he's done but don't know how to say it. I don't want encouragement to be seen as more, but it's impressive he has stuck with it and I know when I was trying to get rid of my baby weight nothing felt better than another mom at the gym telling me good job.
do you smile or does he smile/wave to you when you see him? If yes, then just say, "you should be proud of your hard work, you look great"
if no, then maybe a quick, "you've been working hard and it shows...keep it up!"
I dunno, I like telling random people who look like they are having a hard day something nice.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

When we crossed paths last night I told him 'wow you've got a good pace going' it was true first thing that came to mind.
Thanks, but, I've been wearing an event monitor for the last few weeks after a few ambulance trips to the ER after tachycardia issues, and triage called me yesterday saying the EKG is sending abnormal upper chamber readings, so now the cardiologist wants to see me sooner than planned. :-SS
Nothing annoys me more (and I know I really have no right to be annoyed about anything since I'm on vacation) than entering into a debate and having my entire post dismissed. Fight me, tell me how wrong I am and why, tell me my facts are incorrect - but DO NOT say that 'i won't even quote that, a lot of words that mean nothing'. That truly touches a cord in me. I responded carefully as we do in reasoned debate (or some do) and I am careful here. I love to debate politics, social issues, etc. and I am an educated big girl who can take guns blazing at me. But I do not have respect for the practice of just dismissing someone. Just needed to vent a bit, it got my back up, I don't think, reflect, post, correct, then hit enter just to be disregarded. So I now know which threads not to enter. It's just one of those things that gets to me, esp. when a guy does it - for right or wrong. Phew.... I am going to sit on the balcony and send my Hannah Strong pictures to Rob (a day late). Went to the beach at 7:30 and a kind gentleman (well,a nice looking guy) took about 10 different pics. There are good people in this world. Breathe in good - shake off nonsense. Okay - I'm getting there. Peace to you all and have a day that make you smile, at least once. >-
I more than a little embarrassed to say I don't have a firm grip on the Israeli / Palestine conflict. Meaning I have an idea of why but have not taken the time to really read and research. I know there is probably quite a few opinions in the snake pit (a moving train) but not sure I'm ready to jump on that train yet.
I lay in bed last night with random shit on my mind and couldn't sleep....tossed and turned...I literally slept maybe an hour and a half all night....and now am so tired but when I try to lay down nothing happens, I still can't fall asleep....I have way too much on my mind and don't even know where to begin to sort through it all....I just really need to get a job....I seriously pray I get this job I'm interviewing for on Thursday...so the stress can end for both myself and my hubby....

Wishing you the best if luck. I know how stressful finances can be. I have a lot on my mind right now too. My go to PJ song for stressful situations is Hold On. It's gets me through.
fuck I had such a warped dream after I woke up at 7 AM and went back to sleep, almost wasn't worth it
Here ya... woke up an hour ago from a dream that a sudden barrage of nuclear weapons were detonated around the world, and then the shock waves, then the dust clowds signaling the start of nuclear winter, although fallout was also a concern... it was pretty clear it was the beginning of the end of the world. Scary-ass, super vivid and realistic-feeling dream. Feeling a bit disturbed still. :-S
But on the bright side, I'm seeing Mark Lanegan and Nick Cave tonight, so if my dream was a premonition, at least I'll have those two scratched off the list of artists I still need to see live. :P

I saw him twice in the past 3 years (once with Ms. Campbell in London and once solo, or if you prefer with his band, in Athens). You're in for a real treat! Who's that Nick Cave guy?... )

Not watching the USA soccer game cause I'm dropping off a load of my crap at my new apartment. EDIT: Actually, it's not crap. It's all of my PJ Posters and musical instruments.. That's the first stuff to go

Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example - I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

Mark was good - that voice. :x He only did maybe six or seven songs..... And then Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds... WOW!!!!!! One of the best concerts I've ever seen. So intense and entertaining and engaging and fucking cool!!! Just awesome! It's interesting. I prefer Lanegan ' s albums over Nick Cave on the stereo, by a long shot... but Nick Cave live was just a whole other thing all together! Unforgettable!

I really hope you will get a job soon, good luck to you!!
So sick of being sick.... I need a break but not from my daughter, she still needs me 24/7 somehow, and it would be nice to know if dad will pay for my holiday since he has enough to help me...if he lets me, need release..
