One of the annoyances my mother brought up during our conversation yesterday in typical “bully boy Nazi feminist manner” was this.
“You made a mistake getting married!”
Now, in hindsight, and a few facts.
My mom pretty much hates everyone that doesnt fit her warped version of the “real world” (controlled by her).
Pretty much explains why in all her sixty years, she’s NEVER once had a friend – never worked a real job – never DONE the thing, but we went there already.
For reference, the above comment (and she hates my wife too obviously) was in reference to one o f the “cat and dog, at each other throats” fights my wife and me often have.
We’re an Italian couple. Yeah. I admit it!
But it’s not like either one backs down.
She was yelling about something I remember. When she shouldn’t be in my opinion.
So was I.
BLAH.
Ho hum.
Happens everywhere.
Except of course that isnt’ accounting for nuts out there who look for any excuses to pester others incessantly about “what they think they should be doing instead”.
“You need to back down”, went Mommy dearest.
I aint either. Never have, never will. Neither is my wife. And quite frankly, Mommy, it ain’t none of your business either!
And while this may sound juvenile to a T, truth is this sort of reality plays out all over the world daily.
And people when faced with this sort of unrelenting “pandered to negativity” usually give in.
Not yours truly, hehe.
And part of the reason she’s so frustrated (and so are the Bozos out there) is that not only am I doing my own thang and being happy with it, but she DOES NOT – I repeat – DOES NOT – know my next move.
Even when plan for months to trip me up, ultimately it’s them that gets tripped up.
That aside, divorce.
And an impending divorce is on the cards for my wife and yours truly. Will likely get real messy, but as Carol said years ago, “this should have been done years ago”.
And I plan on doing it very soon indeed.
Of course, funny part, none of the parties involved will actually read what I’m saying (or if they do, they will never acknowledge it) … so in that regard they’re hamstringing themselves anyway in terms of “one step ahead”.
Now, why do I bring this up?
Because according to Mommy dearest, its “ok for them to do, but not you”.
Um.
Sorry, but I disagree.
It’s OK for others to be “strong”, but not you. It’s OK for others to “do their own thang”, but not you.
Yada, nada, schnada. Been hearing that all my life, and it’s never made a lick of difference to what I ultimately and eventually ended up DOING.
I was even told to go (snicker) “counseling” once. Talk about preaching to the choir in terms of the subconscious mind, hehe.
I still remember the lady giggling at me.
“You dont need counseling”, she was giggling. And she was cute too, hehe.
(My Dad told me that, because I didnt “work a full time job”, and apparently counseling would make me do it, but even he and I could tell by the manner in which he said “just do it and get it over with ONCE” told me tomes. LOL is all I gotta say)
(I might not agree w/my Dad on most things, most notably his “happy wife happy life” dictum that he’s been (in vain I might add) trying to convince me of from the day I got married – – but when you cut right down to the chase, at least he minds his own biz and doesnt pester others. And he DOES have some very practical things to say which he has in the past …)
(it’s the “poke their noses” where it does NOT belong morons that I cannot stand).
I dont dance to no-one’s tune, bro. Fitness wise, life wise, biz wise, any wise and ways.
And if fitness wise, what you are doing now is NOT working – then it’s time to ditch it.
Time to ditch the bros who keep telling you to NOT ditch it … it’ll be the best thing you ever do for yourself.
Trust me, the look on their faces when you stride into the gym “one fine day” and start pumping out handstand pushups galore one after the other will be PRICELESS.
Much like on dear Mom’s face if I ever did “dare” (how dare I, hehe) to call her a Chief Justice.
Then again, she wouldn’t understand the irony of it all, hehe.
Anyway, enough said. Life wise – fitness wise – if it ain’t working – DROP IT BRO.
Life is too short to do two things – carry a grudge – and live it the way you dont want to live it.
Rise – UP!
Best,
