Imagine them dating?

She is lucky there was no earthquake that day. Imagine if he lost his balance and fell into her, she would have gone straight through that wall. He must be a great sumo wrestler, I could not imagine trying to move him around.

Happy Valentines Day

A Man My Size?

With the new job on the ship and having taken up martial arts again, I have dropped some weight in the last month. On the ship this week, the pants that I had taken along seemed to hang loose on my body. Even my belt, which was in its last notch, could not keep them held up properly. Everyone that stood behind me on the ship knew what color underwear I had on. Fortunately one of the ladies had a needle and thread and did a little hemming for me to tuck them in.

After arriving back to Dublin today I went to work out before coming home. I had a pair of silver and black silk shorts that I packed and took along with me that I like to wear sometimes when working out. Even they kept falling off my hips as I was doing my kicks on the bag. After showering at the gym, I decided to do some clothes shopping before going home.

At the mens clothing store, I tried on some jeans. I am now in between a size 30-32. So I dropped a size in pants. Which is fine, I knew I had lost some wieght from the exercise I was getting. But what I didn't expect was that the length of my pants has shrunk from that of a size 30 to a size 29 length. That means I'm not only losing weight, I'm shrinking! I'm not supposed to shrink until I am sixty! I have been 5'11 for years. I want to stay 5'11! My man is 6'3, if I get any shorter he won't even see me!!

The one clerk that was helping me pick out some pants made a comment, "You look good in those jeans for a man your size?" I didn't think about it until later, but now I wonder what he meant by a man my size, what does that mean? Was he calling me short?

I'm Back

I'm back home on dry land. I got home around 7pm tonight. My two boys are at work, but my cats were excited to see me. They even sat on the side of the tub when I got a shower and are now curled up on each side of my chair right now as I type on the computer.

I am getting used to the people I work with now on the crew. My best friend at work has become this Canadian man. We seem to gravitate to each other when there is free time and share stories and music. For the most part I just do my job and spend time watching the seas or the stars when I get a chance. I am really tired of the cold weather, Spring needs to get here fast.

Torchwood Ianto/Jack - Season 2

Kissing - My favorite contact sport

Finally a television program that shows a man asking another man out on a date. I love Ianto's response too, he longs to be with him, but is playing it coy and makes him work for it. I hope they continue to show the romance between them blossom and I can finally see someone like myself on television. How amazing it is to have a character I can relate to instead of some caricature portrayed on most shows.


But then again, sometimes us shy guys have to take matters into our own hands, so to speak...

I can't sleep tonight, I slept almost all day yesterday trying to recharge my body. But it threw me off for tonight, I can't sleep now. I decided to watch the three newest episodes of Torchwood. Still not tired so I think I will make some tea and toast and watch the sun come up on the new day.

More Soreness

This afternoon I called my teacher to see when the workout schedule is for next week. I forgot to take it last night when I left. This was a bad idea. He asked me what I was doing today, I being the idiot that I am replied I was doing nothing. He said, "No sit on couch, come work out." Before I knew what I was doing, I was at the gym getting pummeled again. We worked on the bag until I thought my arms would fall off. When he satisfied with the work I did on the bag, he made me do ab workouts until the place was closing. It was a good three hour workout.

I got home and my man was already in bed sleeping after working a double shift. I didn't want to wake him so I decided to get on the computer for a bit. My arms are still like rubber. I drank a large glass of Orange Juice. It tasted so good. I have a craving for a slice of pizza right now. But not gonna happen. I'm gonna go ly down on the couch and fall asleep to the telly. I don't even have the strength to take my jeans off.

The last thing he said to me after he dropped me off at home, "Good workout. Even better tomorrow. See you at three." There is saying that words can't kill, but hearing those words cut like a knife.

Note to self...."Get the schedule before you leave. Never call the teacher!"

Wes Welker - New England Patriots

...but then again I saw on the news tonight this guy Wes Welker giving an interview. What a cutie. So if New England wins the Super Bowl, I hope to see lots of Wes and not much of Brady.

Eli Manning - New York Giants

I am rooting for the Giants to beat the Patriots in tomorrows American Super Bowl game. I like Eli Manning. He has overcome autism and being Peyton's little brother.

Lazy Saturday

I had another martial arts class last night and the teacher abused my body again. I swear I did over a hundred kicks with my left leg. My whole leg is sore today from the hip down. My back is sore and I need a massage and a hot tub. A nice steam bath would be good too.

I slept for 14 hours! I have not slept that long in years. I just woke up around 3 PM this afternoon. I was lying in bed watching the Chelsea-Portsmouth game on telly, but my cat was pouncing on my every move trying to get me out of bed to feed him. Between that and the fact I had to piss I decided to get up. But my body still wants more sleep.

My man is working a double shift and my room mate is away with some friends for the weekend. So I have the whole day to be lazy and I am taking advantage of it. I am going to get something to eat, get a nice hot shower, and then lay back down and finish watching this game.

Friday

I just got home from our latest journey on the ocean. It feels so good to get my boots off and that itchy sweater. I am headed for a nice hot shower and then a long sleep. I'll catch everyone later, have a good Friday.

My hand is much better which is good since I have a class later today. My teacher called and left a message for me that I need knee pads and a cup (jock). Not sure what he is planning on teaching me tonight, but I hope he takes me to dinner first!
