Crackin up here. Thanks BJ. Yes things are going good.
Interesting conversation yesterday. It seems the W of our business partner in our other school has been on the verge of being a WAW for years. She's come close lately and is definetely in that detached stage. We were there on Sunday with them and my W sat and listened to her story. I got an earful on the way home. It's the old "Lousy marriage and she's not strong enough to walk away so she's resolved herself to a miserable life"
Lot's of "He's such an..." type comments. So I borroweb phoenix-sparks stapler and stapled my mouth shut. All it could say was uhu and yeah.
But yesterday the conversation came up. We had coffee and talked about it. And the thing is it was just a conversation. Not each of us trying to prove the other wrong. Good conversation.
W- She's told him a thousand times what she wants
M- In another language
I didn't go to far with the convo but got some really good pooints. Felt if I carried it to far it would be me proving myself right. Not good.
So I think that right now I'm in a really good position of being able to help myself by helping someone else. Not bad.
BJ, I realized recently how true it is how the women look at me when I just be myself. As you know I'm a martial artist and there is something basic in a woman's biology that attracts her to a man that moves like us black belts do. I remember I used to notice them watching all the time. Caught my wife doing it the other day. My unoficial logo has been for years "Turning geeks into studs for over a decade" And it's so true. I've taken so many guys that couldn't get a girl and eventually they get to a position where they can't beat them off with a stick.
Guess I should do that for myself.
TJ the stuff you turned me onto really hit home. Here I am, 20 years training in MA. Hate to describe myself this way but everyone else describes me as a "total Badass" Yet what's been going on inside for the last few years is quite the opposite. What a revelation.
Well now it's "My Ride"
My wife made a comment along those lines the other day "Bad ass martial artist, smartest guy you'll ever meet, and he can't even remember his cell phone" That line hit me hard because I knew in her mind she inserted something else at the end.
Things are good. Moving along. Waiting for this thread to lock. Good things happen when my thread locks.
