Awwww. *hugs* I'm feeling affectionate right now so just go with it. *warm fuzzies*

Friend date with Sam? How is she doing these days?
Puppy uncle! So Bree and Kenny have a new baby? sweet. Oh my god they will be married before you know it. It's coming soon...Lot's to celebrate. Then you may become an uncle for real.

I have a little puppy named Carson. He's 5 but small and a loverboy. He must have a foot fetish because he sniffs and licks my toes and plays with my feet. He's a little needy but he is mostly good. You and Tiana will get to meet Mr. Happy when you visit.

Yey! for laptop back. You know what I want? An Ipad.

Hey Cheeks!
Things aren't as bad as they seem. You need to stay positive. Everything is negotiable in a relationship with enough communication. It sounds like you want to date other people. You should! Just tell your girlfriend that you want to date other people and her. I mean you're a young single man, you need to be free to do what you want to.

I want to help you so I'll comment on a few things. Ask yourself is this what I really want? You talk a lot about the negative. Is there anything positive? You have told us about some problems. But really have you ever done anything that warrants jealousy or insecurity? The answer is no. If you have to tip toe around someone because they're all jealous and insecure that's not right. You deserve better.

Keith you're one of the nicest most charming people I know. You know how to read people. You would never hurt anyone's feelings on purpose. When someone hurts your feelings over and over. That's not right. You should be able to communicate openly and honestly.

You're right, it's not quite as bad as I may make it sound. Of course there are some things and times that are great, and I can't just ignore or bypass that. But of course, there's things that she says or does that just don't sit well with me. I also know that I'll probably never find the "perfect" relationship again, and whatever one I end up in will have its ups and down no matter what. She's a great girl, but I just don't know for certain if she should be my great girl. I still have to figure some things out before I can even begin to think about making a decision.

Prowler, you need to post a picture of little Midas. He (it is he?) sounds so cute.

Sorry to hear that the gig was partly rained out. Not much fun.

I'll be sure to post some pictures of him as soon as I visit them and get to meet him

And no matter about the rain. It's what happens when we play the beach, so we were expecting it to happen days in advance. At least the weather took it easy on us this time instead of trying to destroy the entire freaking building again.

Oh yeah, I might be joining a gym this week.

*hugs*
We're all here for you Cheeky.
Now go buy a shitload of books in downtown Fredericksberg!
I know you want to. Don't lie.

'Sup drummer dude?
Sorry to hear things aren't so great with Amanda.Trust issues are always a big relationship buzz kill.You deserve to be happy with who ever your with and whatever you decide, I hope it's the best decision for you.

Ah joining a gym huh, getting ready for your Cali visit? I'll go warn all the women in the tri-state area, that your bringing the big guns.Ahhahahaa!

Well since you can't deny your book addiction, guess your going to hafta redesign your room, extreme makeover book edition? Maybe?

I love this thread!
The world does not have enough epic ass to share. It should be celebrated constantly and joyously forever.

Good show last night. Pretty good crowd, lots of dancers during our set, and the band had a lot of fun. The only bad part of the night was trying to load my stuff out through an impenetrable wall of synchronized dancers after we were done and the DJ took over



Also, I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be in a relationship...

Prowler, what happened??? You say you might not be in a relationship much longer. That is sad news.

We had a pretty serious talk last night about a few things. I brought up her trust and jealousy issues and how much she talks about her ex, and also about how I'm not 100% sure I'm really ready for a full on relationship or if I need to just get out and date for a while. I have a feeling that if I decide I'm not ready for what she thinks she wants, she's not going to be too happy. She's already set on me being her full time boyfriend, but I think I am. Worse yet, I don't even know if I actually am ready for a real relationship, but with someone else. This is all just so damn difficult.

Hooray ... Butts!

Well put, my friend. Well put, indeed. Butts really are quite amazing.

Well, she apologized for overreacting before, so I have to give her points for that. I just don't know what's going to happen in the long run. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

So today was the first time I've ever worked out in a gym! I wasn't there too long and I tried not to burn myself out, but I'm not feeling any burn right now so I may not have done enough... Oh well, I plan on going in again tomorrow morning, so I'll try to do a little more then.

No other news to report. Sorry, every one

Prowler, it's good that you and your girlfriend are able to talk about your relationship and where it might or might not be going. I hope you guys can work things out.

Awesome Prowls. I hope that you find it rewarding.
I'm always around if you wanna discuss anything, of course.

Number one thing is HAVE FUN!

Thanks, Colin. You really are a great guy-I hope you know that. I'm sure Ssin would be happy to back that up, too
You wouldn't happen to be on FaceBook at all, would you? I can't remember if I asked you before or not.

Thanks. I might be seeing her tomorrow, so we might be able to talk about some things then.

Hi Cheeks! I hope you're having fun working out at the gym, getting all hot and sweaty. Hehe I need to work out so badly. I don't have a treadmill at the moment and I feel the need to move my body and work it. I could take the schnauzer for a walk but he's a little nuts. Ah I've become such a bum. Barely studying, slacking, laying around tired. Jeez when will I get my act together?

It sounds like youre unsure about your relationship. Not too hopeful yet you want to see if it will work out. What do you want out of this relationship? Do you see yourself getting married and having kids?

Do I want to get married? Eventually. Do I want to have kids? Maybe, but not for a long time yet. Remember, I don't even have a goddamn job to support myself at this point, let alone a family. What do I want out of this specific relationship? I have no idea right now... Possibly nothing, as bad as that sounds. I may decide I want to try getting out and dating because that's something I've never experienced. I have no idea what it's like to go on one date and say "well, that was fun, but I think you and I both know that this ain't going anywhere so, I hope you have a fantastic life." I have a feeling that if I do make that decision, she's not going to be very happy with me. But, this kind of shit happens every day all over the world.

So I went to the gym yesterday, as I said earlier. I was planning on going in again today, but the pain I didn't feel yesterday decided to hit this morning, and it hit hard. So I figured I'd take it easy today and try again tomorrow if I get the chance.

OOH! And more awesome news! I don't know if you all remember or if I mentioned it at all, but my buddy Mike who runs the vintage store (Horseshoes and Hand Grenades) was in danger of losing his business because the owner of the building he was moving into backed out after he already sinned new tenants to move into his old place. Anyway, after going back and forth for a few weeks with her, he and his partner signed the lease last Friday! They're in the process of pre-planning right now, but as soon as they get all the paperwork they need for modifications, I'm going to go in and help them with anything they need to get ready. Painting, moving, stocking, building, anything at all I can do to help. But here's the best news...

They both say that once the store gets settled in and re-established, if I still don't have a job at that point, they'll happily hire me to work there That would be awesome because I've wanted to work there for a while now. So yeah, that would be very exciting for me.

But enough about me, what about you all?

That means a lot to me, man. Thank you for that. It's true, a few months ago I never thought anyone around here would really be interested in me again. I still don't have a lot of confidence in myself, but at least I know that some people seem to like me for who I am, and that helps a lot. And no, I would never be a "player". Even if I try dating other people, I would never be one of those guys who goes out with the sole purpose of picking up girls just for sex. I'm just not like that. If I go on a date and sex happens, fine, but I'd never make that my only goal. I have too much respect for women to do that

The burns all in my arms, so I think I overworked them yesterday. So tomorrow I plan on working less on them and more on my abdomen, since I don't really feel anything there. You're a gym rat, right? Got any tips for me to keep me from hurting myself too much?

Did someone say Booty??





Maybe not .. but this one you can unwrap.
