inspirations


i used to be a *major* gym rat.
somehow, somewhere that fell away.
i've been thinking abt that alot in recent weeks.
i decided i'd join a gym for the new year and jump back in.
one thing or another, i haven't.

then 3 days ago (new year's eve actually), i decided there's a perfectly serviceable 'track' right outside my door.
so 3 days ago, i started.
today (already *sigh*) i really didn't feel like it.
then i happened to stumble across the article below.
i *hate* anyone telling me what i won't be doing.

i wasn't outside 5 minutes
and i 'reasoned' 5 minutes is 5 more minutes than i had planned on.
i always work out with my ipod.
i was abt to 'justifiably' walk back to the house.
then 'monkey business' came blaring over my headphones.
oh yeah! *smile*

so for 3 days now i have gotten in a respectable workout.
not much but it's a good start.
below are today's inspirations.

that got me to thinking:
we've all seen things in a profile that 'inspire' us -not- to respond
my question is this, though:
what would you like to see in profile (that you typically don't) that *would* inspire you to send a note?

______________________________

All right, it's that time of year, where we make easily broken resolutions. This year we are going to lose weight, get fit, stop doing bad stuff and finally get our lives on track. A New Year, a new start.

Don't be dumb. It won't happen and you know it. None of your other resolutions from previous years succeeded. By the end of January you were back as you were, with the faint odor of shame and guilt that you couldn't last one freaking month. Why should this year be different?

Personal example: When I write, I smoke. It is a disgusting habit, and one I control in all other situations. One I should give up completely, I know. Yet somehow, in the time it took me to write the first two paragraphs, a lit cigarette appeared in my mouth, and was half finished before I even noticed it. Habit took over. I don't even remember lighting up.

Retraining yourself is hard. Obsession can help. It helped this guy run 52 marathons in 52 weeks, after all. But, you know what? Obsession is really, really boring. Just listen to any new parent for 5 minutes, or any serious gamer for 5 seconds. Who wants to talk to someone with a one track mind? No one at all, that's who.

Habit is the enemy. You'll not succeed in changing your life without that. Sadly, science says you'll never manage to do that. Habits always come back.

Sorry about that.

Have a good party and a futile New Year.

performed by skid row

outside my window there´s a whole lot of trouble comin´
the cartoon killers and the rag cover clones
stack heels kickin´ rhythm of social circumcision
can´t close the closet on shoe box full of bones

kangaroo lady with her bourbon in a pouch
can´t afford the rental on a bamboo couch
collecting back her favors ´cause her well is running dry
I know her act is terminal, but she ain´t gonna die

slim intoxicado drinkin´ dime store hooch
is always in a circle with his part-time pooch
little creepy´s playing dollies in the new york rain
thinkin´ Bowie´s just a knife ooh the pain

i ain´t seen the sun since i don´t know when
the freaks come out at night
and it´s twenty to ten
what´s this funk
that you call junk
to me it´s just monkey business

get back

blind man in the vox that will probably die
the village laugh as they walk by
a psycho is on the edge of this human garbage dump
and the vultures in the sewers are telling him to jump

into the fire from the frying pan
tripping on his tounge
for a cool place to stand
where´s this shade
that you´ve got it made
to me it´s just monkey business

monkey business
slippin´ on the track
monkey business
jungle in black
ain´t your business if I got
no monkey on my back

monkey business
slippin´ on the track
monkey business
jungle in black
ain´t your business if I got
no monkey on my back

the vaseline gypsies and<b> silicone </font></b>souls
dressed to the society
hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
can´t get you by that monkey


music is what feelings sound like.

I get an overall feel for the person from their profile. Can they write. Do they know exactly what they want? Are they comfortable in their own sexuality and do they express that well. Are they looking for a soul mate - does someone need to clue them in what kind of site this is? If they happen to find a soul mate great, but that should not be reason for listing a profile here.

Does the profile list obvious stuff like, "no bugs & no drugs" - it's almost as if they think everyone would just assume they were looking for a junkie with aids, herpes and crabs. "Axe murderers don't bother sending me an email I'm not into that kind of action!!!!"

Certainly a hot picture helps even if it not that revealing, but the most important thing to remember smart is very sexy!
