There's a place in Tulsa that does more of what I was used to on the production side of things. Talk of our company closing the facility I work at is getting more serious. I need to start actually looking into my options. I could go to school to become a coder. I could do that from nearly anywhere. Takes some time and some money, though.

Silock

Okay, but in this case "eating whatever you want" really means "eating lots of food to excess without gaining weight." I mean, sure, you could not gain a pound by eating whatever you want, so long as you didn't want a whole lot of food, or are already fat and not getting any fatter.

My wish was to maintain my current fitness and bodyfat levels without all the work I put into it.

If I could still run 3 miles in under 20 minutes when I hit 64, I'd probably die from shock.

The face for radio would need to go, which would actually be like 3 changes, but we can pretend it's one.

Hmm... that would actually solve all of my problems... I've worked on things like being more outgoing and not worrying about what other people think.... not procrastinating so much would be nice. I know people who will work on anything that's put in front of them the second it's put in front of them, and I can't ever do that... I'd rather be swamped with one 16 hour day than have 4 hours of work for 4 days.... and unfortunately the world doesn't quite work like that.

Shit man, if I stopped lifting and I ate whatever I wanted I'd shrivel up into about 130 lbs. I don't understand people and their slow metabolisms. I force feed myself. 9 out of 10 times I don't even want to look at food, but I eat it anyway. If I stop lifting for like two weeks I lose almost 10 pounds most of the time. It's ridiculous.

I am not incredibly good looking, but not ugly. I have a good personality and never have trouble talking to people.

I am in a world of hurt with my finances, but I don't much care anymore.

It's odd, but in my entire life, I don't think I have ever been this comfortable or happy with who I am and how my life is.

Oh, I just came up with something. I wish I had more tolerance for my mother. I have mercy and grace for nearly everyone else in the entire world..... yet, I have very little for her.
