Conversations

So I've been told I can carry good conversations... or just keep someone engaged verbally.

I'd like to agree with the vast majority that say that, but sometimes I beg to differ. I listen well... I will sit on the phone or next to you and listen to your every word and try to analyze it in my own head to what you are trying to tell me.  Sometimes I have no words to respond and sometimes I have major opinions on the matter.   I do like to talk... but I also like to listen, especially when the other person needs that extra ear/shoulder.

When I do think about people who carry good conversations, I think about the topics that relate to every day life or the news or politics or something more interesting then my problems and gossip hotline.  I try to keep up with politics, but I do not find that very interest... I mean I think if I really would just open my mind to what ever it is that is going on with our government or with other countries and their 3rd world problems, but I can never keep up.

I found myself in awe of many people this past few weekends and just how they would talk and how much information they knew, as to where I was stunned and just sat there with, what I'm thinking, a confused look on my face. My thoughts were "Is he really trying to sell me on the idea that Missouri is a great place to live? How the flip does he even know about the housing market and education system when he lives in Texas and grew up in Arkansa?"  I mean really I have no idea about the housing market other then it may be too late to buy soon if the market increases.  I feel like if I knew more about all of that I could carry a decent conversation... instead I sat there, smiled, and continued to be fascinated with the information that was pouring out of this man's mouth...

I mean I can carry a conversation do not get me wrong. I would be the one engaging with questions that can lead to so many different answers just so you could talk, or sometimes I would be the one talking, but usually about my every day life situations or problems.  I joke around a lot and sometimes I get inappropriate depending on who I am talk to (wink wink) lmaoooo.

But yeah enough of that random rant... who is up for a conversation regarding that missing malaysia plane? I mean I was so fascinated with how it just DISSAPPEARED!!! Anyone?

New Found Love

Randomness at it's best...

So I have been slacking with blogging and all that, I just haven't really had the time or energy to sit here and write/type about just everyday life I guess. So here I am... trying to avoid all this work on my desk, but just for a little bit. At least 15 minutes!!!

So w/in the past year I have been pretty busy. I have fallen in love. I get to be with this new love every day, whether it be early in the morning or when I get off I get to jump in there just get my love on for about an hour or so... CROSSFIT... has become the new beau!! Literally. I go either at 5:30am or 4:00pm every day and just get in there and do the WODs (Work Outs of the Day) and if I have time I stay a little longer and work on other movements.  It will be our 1 year anniversary next month and I'm excited to celebrate that day with the FILTHY 50 that day!! I'll probably die and it will probably take me forever, but the thing is... I am proud to have stuck to one form of fitness for an entire year!!

I have learned a lot about myself in regards to working out and having to push myself to get better and stronger.  I love lifting and I initially didn't want to get bulky, but I don't want to get SKINNY... I just want to be healthy and fit. I believe that I won't bulk up, but I will gain a lot of muscle.

I plan on continuing crossfit for another year on top of doing some cardio outside of the box. I was running 4 miles last year every day and I think I was over doing it, especially with my weight and so forth. I am going to incorporate atleast 2-3 miles every other day, but lately I just haven't had the time, so I need to make the time... I really hate running and I'm sure there are other things I can do but until I become a member at another gym running outside is just going to have to do... I am looking forward to shedding some fat and just getting leaner. Hopefully my eating can get under control, because I have been eating horrible for the last few days.and I've already had a shitty start to this week. Paleo eating needs to be incorporated and maybe Eat to Perform can help me out with this. Okie dokie... thats all for now..> i need to get back to work.
