OT: "Negativity"

No way for me to know for sure if you can't figger this out in the 3D with him, but i think he may mean that you seem to him to be playing old tapes - he hears you saying i cannot when he wants to hear I'll do my best.  I was thinking about your situation off and on all day today.  Something about it kind of rang a bell deep within me with my old gym.  After I decided to leave, in about 6 months, the owner of my old gym was busted for meth use.  It BUGGED me, of course, cuz that toned up, thin guy and his girl friend would kind of make me feel "less than" cuz I was there working my fool guts out 5 days a week, yet staying fat. I felt like going in there and getting all Billy Jack on their asses - the idea of them preaching to me with my stubborn body that does not easily let go of weight when they were druggies!!!!!!  How this relates to you? My thought is things are not always what they seem at these gyms. There is a seamy underside - who knows if Ian used/uses ephredrine to lose his weight, or whatever, and he is defensive for any number of reasons.  Jus sayin.

No seamy underside in this gym, I'll tell ya.  And I'd bet money Ian is as pure as the driven snow.  Mostly cuz of how we talk religion, etc.   I've just been thinking since last night, maybe it's all me, the issue is all on me.
