I choreographed a wicked cool routine with my co-workers for our upcoming summer camps.

What's the coolest thing you've done lately?

Push-Pull

Got myself out of a job that would have been miserable this coming summer and into a good job with a higher wage at a new (to this area) box store. Took the bull by the balls doing it, and feel damn good about it.

Joined a very active Relay For Life team. The weekend following relay i'm taking my kids camping, and Bass fishing on the South Umpqua river in our inflatable kayaks.

I called out sick from work simply because I was actually sick. I came to the realization that I'm too young to run myself into the ground for any person, job or relationship and while I love to give 110% - I've gotta take better care of myself.

My wife and I blew off friends and family over the Easter long weekend and went to a cabin just outside of Yoho national park and Kicking Horse. Cozy cabin, awesome skiing, warm sunny days (including a hike to Wapta falls), excellent bbq. We decided to go thursday night and left friday morning.

I'd love to hear more about this, either here or via pm, if you feel like it.

Preparing to take a short-term job as a Production Assistant for a friend's instructional dance video shoot. This will be the second time I've gotten to do this with her, and it's a lot of low-budget fun!

I got into a fist fight for the first time in 8 years. No better way to be humbled.



I made friends with the most beautiful women I have ever seen and have no intention of sleeping with her. This is big for me cause no matter what... I'm always looking to fuck a hot girl.

I hiked to the top of Mount Finlayson in Victoria. It's only 419 meters, but it was still a lot of fun.

I handed in my notice at work. I started there in 1984, before my kids were born - my granddaughter turns 3 this summer.
I don't have a job to go to. I'm making a blind jump in order to live with my lady and give up a bedamned highway commute that has been killing me and definitely killed my car. Thumbs up for waking beside my woman and getting to stay in bed with her

Wow, seems a lot of job and life changes happening for TFPers.

Lately, life hasn't been too exciting. Work, cooking, video games, and the usual things.

The coolest thing I've done so far today (and take into consideration I've only been up for about an hour), is have a contest to see how long it will take for our cat to successfully knock everything off the coffee table with his tail. It took about 3 minutes.

Yesterday, the coolest thing was walking home, getting a block from our highrise, and walking onto an ER set. Yes, I was across the street from John Stamos. I'm not a huge fan of his, but it was cool to watch about 15 minutes of the rehearsal.

If you are a watcher of the show, watch for him to go up to the blonde girl on the steps in front of a walk-up while the people are bringing out boxes.

Of course that's not as cool as possibly being in Batman. WTG, ono!

I took six months off from working to evaluate myself... figure out my passions, develop some long-term goals, change my attitude, and do some serious self-assessment. I did a lot of reading, a lot of thinking, and asked a lot of questions, but I finally have a direction and purpose that I'm happy with, and this week I took the first step towards making it happen.

Well, I hate that it's work related, but I just finished framing an exhibit of all original photographs. No ordinary photos mind you, but hand-printed silver prints from artists like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Eugene Smith and Brett Weston, to name a few.(haha...what a fucking name-dropper)

Anyhow, this show was worth in the neighborhood of $350,000, and luckily my boss had to go out of town for the week, otherwise he probably woulda been standing directly over my shoulder the whole time.

Charlatan

That sounds awesome Joe...

I started working at a fish processing factory in Iceland, with about 90 immigrants from Thailand, the Philippines, and Poland. I love it, I really do... the whole factory experience, and especially the people, which is the reason I'm there (for my research). I sliced and diced 70 kilos of cod on Friday!! It's one of the coolest jobs I've ever had... and the only one where I come home smelling like a big fillet o' fish. Good thing my husband loves me unconditionally!

I got sex for pizza. It's really not any more complex than that.

A girl I used to work with... five years ago... randomly messaged me on AOL the other night, and basically said we should hang out. She's cute and we used to have a lot of fun partying together, but were never anything more than friends. I thought it was a very touching-base type of activity, and she invited me to her place. After some friendly catching-up, we decided we were hungry.

I said, "let's order some pizza". She said, "sounds good". I made no mention of asking her to pay anything. We chat some more about the old days and what we're up to, and finally the pizza arrives. She says she should have offered to split the cost with me, and I told her that it was my pleasure to buy pizza, and I didn't mention it because I had no intention of having her split the cost.

We each put some pizza on our plate, and as I'm enjoying my first bite into a delicious slice, I see movement out of the corner of my eye. It's not her similar first-bite into her pizza slice, but rather her pulling off her t-shirt and throwing it casually to the side, then immediately picking up and biting into her slice.

I let her see that I noticed, but made no commentary... I just continued to eat as though it hadn't happened, because I believed it would be better to act as though it didn't phase me. Meanwhile, I'm mentally sizing up her outfit for the number of steps before she's naked: bra... skirt... panties(?)... and wondering if each slice will mean another article of clothing is removed, or each bite, or what.

She got up and said she was getting a beer, and asked if I wanted one as well. I told her yes, I would like one. She disappears into the kitchen. So now, I'm trying to think if she'll come back totally naked, or come back without the bra or skirt... certainly she'll take something off, just so she can enjoy watching me try to act like it's not driving me nuts that she's lost more clothing.

She returns with two beers, and nothing has changed. I thought she was being clever, knowing I'd think she'd take something off and then not do so. I chuckled and gave in, saying, "I thought you would have taken something else off". As I finish that sentence, she pauses mid-stride and stands in front of me, between me and the coffee table (we were eating on the couch). She turns to face the coffee table, away from me, and bends over at the waist to put my beer down. She had, indeed, taken something off- it was all exposed, the skirt ruffling around it, and it was 6 inches from my face.

She straightened up and then sat down again, enjoying a nonchalant sip of her beer and going right back to the pizza. I was floored- not only did I not expect her to want me in that way, but also because I totally didn't think about her losing the panties to mess with me even more. I chuckled a bit as we ate some more, and said "you're good. Well played." She thanked me as a very intentionally bland courtesy, "thank you."

She was better than good, she was beating me at my own game- messing with someone's head while you act like nothing's going on. She owned me at every step of the way. I think she sensed how much of a landslide her victory over me was becoming, so she very casually said, in between bites, "I have a little itch on my back, can you get it for me?" I replied to this by sliding my hand up from the small of her back to her bra strap, which was snapped open with the flick of my fingers.

She said, "that's much better, thank you" and let it fall as she polished off the last bite of her slice of pizza.

Well... I didn't want her to take the skirt off. I mean... that's just way hotter than being totally naked... at least for a little while. I decided to play her game and asked if there was any pizza on my face. She said there was, and leaned in to kiss.

After that, all notions of messing with each other went straight out the window and it was just a kiss- and grope-fest while she tried to take my clothes off in the chaos. She succeeded. This was my first sex in some time, and I think we humped on/around every surface and piece of furniture in every room in her house. We took so many showers (no idea how many) to clean off the sweatiness and have shower sex, that we totally killed the hot water and were having almost-too-cold-to-tolerate shower sex.

Her body was amazing. I don't remember when the skirt was lost, and I don't know if I intentionally took it off or burst into a horny rage and pulled it off without conscious thought. I can still feel the gentle caress of her voice against my ear as she leaned in to whisper to me, nearly out of breath, "none of this was true. I hope you enjoyed the story."

<hr>

Really though, I did finally get laid the other night, after way too long without... I did get a message to hang out with a chick I used to work with 5 years ago, but it was a very obvious "booty call". Her first message was something like, "Hey, I haven't talked to you in forever. I have a king-size bed now. Wink."

I said I'd take a shower and be over there. I went, she greeted me at the door, took me by the hand, and led me into the bedroom. Sex. Thank God. It's been too long. And yeah, she's cute and we used to hang out a ton and nothing ever happened despite getting shitty drunk together many, many times. I don't care if I was just a booty call. She's a nice booty to get a call from- and 5 years down the road, to boot.[/hide]

On Thursday I popped my shoulder out of its socket because I was carrying so much pina colada mix. Twenty minutes later, I ordered $800 worth of pizza on an expense account. The luau was an event that I came up with because I needed to teach new people to fill out a planning packet during a training meeting and the president told me that I'd better save the packet because we were going to make the hypothetical event a reality before the end of the semester.

On Saturday I won a stuffed animal at a carnival by hitting a bulls-eye with a crossbow on my second shot.

The robbery attempt left my car's interior a mangled mess. The starter was in pieces. The steering column had car guts hanging out. I a quick look at it, reassembled the starter and made the car functional, the drove kids to school. On time.
