Results?

I followed a link from Cathy's blog (re: our sham marriage and my desire to do almost anything.. ok, anything, for food.) I read my last entry "Self Improvement" and I'm very pleased to announce that progress in that department is off to a great start. Here's to the Rob I'm becoming.

Self Improvements

Like all people I have areas of my personality that I need to work on, becoming more assertive, sharing opinions etc. The one that came to me tonight is that I need to convince myself that I can't live my life pleasing others, and that sometimes I have to say enough is enough and do something for me, even if it hurts them.

Challenging times are ahead.

One of the only problems with being a gay man interested in contact sports is that eventually you are bound to develop a crush on a player. Last night I went to the rugby league - I'm a Broncos supporter and this week saw them playing the Raiders at home.

Within the first four minutes of the game my crush - Shane Webcke took a mighty tackle and I had to stop myself from running down the steps, onto the field to make sure he wasn't injured.

Mel, a Collie.

Mel.


Which just goes to show that it's not always a black dog. Facing some reasonable changes at the moment, feeling challenged, feeling a little hemmed in. Time to keep reminding myself "This too shall pass."

Falling off the wagon

Lately it hasn't been so much that I've fallen off the wagon but more like I've fallen off a bridge directly into an open topped sugar wagon. The amount of sugar I've consumed in the past two days has been awful, just when I thought I'd beaten the cravings. Starting to see a very definite link between excessive sugar consumption and poor performance at the gym though.

Better the Devil you know

I promise I won't start using Kylie tracks for all my entries. I am soon to start gainful employment, back in Brisbane with people I've worked with before - the same people I might add that didn't want to interview me for the position I have experience in - but any income is better than no income. Stay tuned for further news.

Day 4 of....?

Day four of bitchy Rob, wonder how long this will last?

Do we need a reminder?

Ok people, listen up, here are the rules.

When you have invited someone into your house your first priority is to find them a comfortable spot to sit, and to offer them a drink. If you listen to my mother then that drink you accept is water, tap water, if you are very thirsty you could possibly ask for a second after you have sipped your way through the first.

After you have made them comfortable and offered them a drink - make sure the conversation is two sided, ask them things about themselves, their recent activities and you can intersperse some of your own thoughts, activities, etc.

Threesome?

Just finished a hot threesome - me, Poirot and the weeks worth of ironing. Hot huh?

Went rockclimbing yesterday morning - I'm shite at it but I enjoy it and I'm a natural born belay. Just call me Saftey Man. I'll improve my rock climbing - just a matter of repetition.

Marriage?

Is the concept of marriage outdated? Has society moved to such a point where the "traditional" marriage needs to be revamped? The gay community certainly seems to enjoy relationships but quite commonly these are open relationships. There are open relationships involving heterosexual/married people, though I can't tell you anyone who is in one.

If marriage is revamped - will society crumble? Any predictions?
