Something I have Noticed about myself is that, I have a plan and I do my best to see it through... doesn't have to happen right away, I know things take time and preparation... like gardening, first you have to plant the seed, it doesn't grow overnight.
Something else I have noticed about myself is that I have a temper... now paired with a love of boxing and a few tricks I learned from bigger and smaller friends, might put somebody in a bad position... or a fixed position in the hospital. Just Kidding, but I looked deep down inside and realized that not every one is going to like you for who you are... thats fine as everybody is different. I just prefer to keep my distance of those of dislike, instead of someone getting in my face about it, only to see ending results being an agrument won by knock out.
Another thing I noticed about me, I have things in the past that I would even today like to go back a fix. I a good while back said some stupid things, rumors at it were, that hurt somebody... created an image that made them hate me very intensely... I one day called this person in humble honesty seeking genuine forgiveness. I never felt so at ease and gathered than that point. Ahh the things we learn from. Point is, that was only one thing I could make amends for, there are still some I wish to.
Something rather irratating I have noticed about myself... I can not, under any circumstances gain weight for the life of me! It appears I have been doomed to be a skinny little shit my whole life. Though I am far from frail, in fact quite the opposite as I am rather active. I swim consistantly during the week, I go trail running, I strive for high points on my "APFT" and would rather go somewhere and do something than sit on my ass doing nothing. I weighed myself the other day and sadly I have lost weight from my time in Iraq... there I went to the gym six days a week focusing on different muscle groups each day. On top of that I ate six meals a day! not six small meals a day... ohh no, we're talking two large pieces of grilled chicken, small salad, beans, potatoes, tuna and anything i could get my hands on made of protein... through all this training and dieting... I arrived to Iraq weighing a sad 132 pounds... I left weighing 145 pounds and with only 4 percent body fat... yet here i am living a similar lifestyle and i manage to lose five pounds. WHY THE F$&% CAN'T I GAIN ANY WEIGHT!!! Even scientifically speaking my metabolism should be slowing down, its was written that every seven to eight years your body as a male will undergo metabolic changes, which is most men is a slowing, which is why most body builders often peak in their very early thirty's to early forty's... I'm not thirty yet but geez, it would be nice to have a little something to work with!
Last thing I have noticed is my eye sight... had PRK done in March, I think it was one of the wierdest and best experiences i have to talk about. Not only do i have corrected Vision, I can put a shirt on without removing eyeglasses and putting them back on. I can walk freely in the rain to my truck and not have to take a minute or two to clean the water from my lenses. I can engage in a work place spontanious wrestling match at will and not have to say "Hang on... my glasses... okay ready." I can look through binoculars! I dont have to squint to read things. And lastly I can see animals running straight me in the woods without having to frantically look left and right till whatever it is, finally hits the prescription of my glasses for me focus on and know that is a charging mountain lion. ahh, technology, science, beautiful things... sometimes. Goodnight!

I love your honesty. There's noting wrong with being the size you are, just to throw that out there. I can't understand why it's such a big deal to you to look lke someone else. :)
ReplyDeleteI also love hearing about the changes in your vision. While this will never be a reality for me, I really enjoy knowing that it's helped you out and all the new things you can see. I can't even imagine having clear vision. lol. To be honest, I've never seen my husband with two eyes. They work separately.
Having a temper sucks. I know that to be true first hand. It can be used for good, however. I'm a little surprised (but not that much), because I always knew you as a really laid back guy. Do you know where your anger comes from?
Keep writing! I like reading. :)
