The Great Roast of SoF
I figured I needed a disclaimer "If you are offended by the use of anatomical words in a humorous manor, please do not read this post"
Greetings one and all. It has been a while since I have posted here and with good reasons, I promise.
Song of the Post: Love is in the air around SoF lately, so I will post a track about love, ok maybe two.
OK the first one is more for everyone, the sunsets are great, and the track is lovely. There are a lot of songs out right now about love, which is incredably nice. Or maybe you hear them more when you are thinking about it?
When Armin releases a track, it is typically pretty cool, though he finds talent more than anything. He is responsible for a lot of the producers, artists and DJs that I enjoy. I will drop him some love every now and again.
What is going these days? Well I have lost all the winter weight that I gained. Yep, I was surprised that it was pretty easy for me this time around. Now only that, eating has been really good as well, when I remember to eat. (that is not so good). I have found lots of great recipes, and I hope to cook some of them soon.
I would not make mention of things love related without reason. I have been talking (actually talking) to my Vegan friend that I met online, so far things are well, I have no idea if we will actually meet soon, I figure her stalling is a great way for me to get into better shape, and keep veganing up my wardrobe. Now, I will have to refer to her as vegan girl number 1. There is another vegan girl that I have been talking to, which is actually the roommate of my co-worker. She is travelling down a similiar road as I am so it makes things rather easy for us to talk, trade recipes, and over all be at ease around each other. There are also like 4 other people around me who are single now, so this is interesting. or could get very interesting.
On to some of the funny things that have been happening.
Things get hectic around the SoF home office, and sometimes I am not able to produce quality funny stories for you guys/gals around here. So today, I am offering up a back log of funny things that have been happening around the life and times of me.
Sof Vs. The Accidental pick up
I forget that I am guy sometimes. I relate very well to women, I have several women friends, and I work with all women. There is not a whole lot out there that a woman can come to me with that I am have not heard at least once by now. That is not a challange by the way! I forget that my sex is more associated by the head between our legs, or is simplier words a "walking penis". I forget that I am seen as said walking penis, and when I asked one of teh fellow retail warriors out to drinks on Saturday, she took it as me asking her out. It was more like I see someone who needs a chance to vent, and drinks are a great place for said adventures...We are conversing through the night, and she mentions red flags...Ok, I did not pay attention to it until I realized that she thought I was hitting on her. Oops, I did not really know what to do here, I am not used to being in the saying no position or the it probably will not work out. At least my head was in the right place...
The Roast of SoF:
Appearantly, everyone at my job has an impression of me. So much so that it is actually funny watching them act like me even if it is meant to mock me. They were on stage yesterday and we had the entire place laughing, even some joining the festivities. There is a huge difference in this and hateful mocking. I am happy that they all like me enough to do these impressions. I cannot really give you an impression here as you would have to know me to see how they are funny, Though I can give you this: One of the people called me mr. spontainity, my co-worker laughed, and goes "Him? more like mister consistancy".
SoF vs. The Regular
I am admitantly able to set off Gaydar, I have no qualms about it, nor any inclination to correct it. We have a guy who comes in every morning, and is the complete antithesis of me in beliefs, including homosexuality. While I take no issue, he takes issue being in the presence of gay people, in fear that it spreads through human contact Enough backstory. He and another co-worker get into it about something stupid and neither of them can let it go. The regular comes up to me and goes "I came back to cut of his scrotum and wear his testees as earings." I look at him and think that is the gayest thing I think you have ever said to me. Seriously, what I am supposed to say? Do you have a matching outfit? Then he starts asking me about my personal stats, then invites me to wrestle him. Somehow I go dragged into this, and it keeps travelling down a long dark tunnel. I just hope there is an end in sight...
Sof vs. the love triangle.
So we have another guy who comes in and he and I talk about BFL, lifting, dieting, life in general. So co-worker M has a crush on him, which I am told third party because co-worker M and I are passing friends. Well, Co-worker M has told others, and it got to me because I am better friends with everyone else. Now, Co-worker B's mother know this guy's brother (following?) so when co-worker B asked her mom to find out if this guy was single or not, she took it too far, and told the bother that someone in the store liked him. The guy, J, thinks it is co-worker Je, who has not really spoken up on the topic, I do not think that she knows. How am I involved in all of this? The guy and I lift together a couple of times a week. I am the closest person to him in the store. I am asked to find things out when we lift.
That is all for now, I have to move again, or I will fall asleep. Too many days working in a row.
Thanks for reading, I hope to be around to read blogs this weekend
