It is funny how blind one is willing to become in a relationship.

Yep, Zart, you are correct on all counts. Total fuck*ng dolt. He failed out his first year of college, and hasn't gone back. He probably never will. He works as a bank teller. He spent a year in Iraq with the US Army. It is so ironic that you made the coffee table book comment, because he really does have shelves crammed full of books about knives n' guns and whatnot. Magazine subscriptions to gun mags and knife mags and Soldier of Fortune.  He's not a terribly big guy. About five-ten, maybe 150 pounds. He studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Jeet Kun Do, and was constantly training and going to competitions and whatnot.

He and I are both currently 25 years old (I think we were 23 in that first photo). He is a martial arts and weapons fanatic. He joined the Army so that they would let him play with fully automatic weaponry. He's one of the guys in his squadron that carries a 50-cal machine gun.

Please note that I am glad to be out of that relationship with him. His yearlong deployment really gave each of us the space necessary to get on with our respective lives.

And yes, thank you for your kind comments regarding my haircut. I rather like it. I need to get it cut again. I took this photo last week, when it was cold enough outside here in Colorado to be wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt. Yay sparkly!

Ha, I definitely didn't want to be the first guy on top of the manpile on your ex, so I decided to wait it out. Now, I think the time is right for me to tell you that the moment that picture loaded, I punched my computer screen. Luckily, my arms are weak and my Powerbook is still under warranty. Onwards and upwards, right?

I think "knob" is the perfect word.  Thank you, V, for articulating what was at the edge of my consciousness.

Why is it that the assholes always get the hot chicks?

Well, clearly this particular asshole did not, in fact, actually end up with the hot chick. Because of being an asshole.

(I want to make a DUE TO PUNISHMENT joke here, but it seems tasteless.)

I really like your glasses, too.

I was at your website looking at pics (this was months ago, before all this) and I wondered just from that stuff what you and he might have in common. Now I know the answer, and even more based on your last few posts.

I'm not sure what brought you together but it sounds like you are better now that you are are apart.

And, damn, V, knob pretty much hits it on the head.

It's not just he ending up with the girl though. I mean, that's how many years together again?
I have never ended up with a girl (well, what with me being basically single again now) and... well I guess it means I'm an asshole now... Damn.

But yea, knob's good.

for a very long time, i've had problems with "what to do with" my hands and arms when standing.

my gf recently decided to start to mock the living shit out of me whenever i put my hand on my hip, because i look gay.  fair enough.

so, i started trying to figure out what to do with my hands/arms.

from the photo, apparently i WANT TO STOP PUTTING MY HAND IN MY POCKET.

did he even like cats?  he looked like he "liked" dogs, wherein "liked" meant "dogs go outside in the kennel".

Oh my. That is... A gifted deduction! Even if it is wrong, it just seems so right to me now you've said it!
And I know what you mean about the hands things too, I must stop putting them on my hips when I'm standing around. Even if, like last night, I am only standing because of the excruciating pain of any other position...

pain? that doesn't sound good.

however, i just have no freaking clue what i'm supposed to do with my hands.  my arms are like "ok, we'll just hang here." and are behaving, but my hands are all "wtf dude? hello? hello? are you _even_ listening?"

it makes it hard to think,
sometimes.

That's why I end up crossnig my arms a hell of a lot. Deals with the arms, and hides the hands!

You guys are both highly self-conscious and self-critical. You are you, and you'll never get away from you, so make peace.

Wow, that's really deep!

Good advice, as well.

me too.  but i've been told that crossing my arms makes me seem "closed minded and unreceptive", but i just tell them i'm not listening...

um, ya, i know, i'm working on it, i really feel bad about it though.

This is my general life strategy. I'm fat, I don't photograph well, and I never quite know where to put my hands -- but, basically, I deal, and life goes on.

Good advice.
