Take a second.

Not to just question the origin of the universe. Stop and take a breath. Use a STOP sign in life every once in a while. We are not programmed to run hours on end with no sleep and to use Starbucks as our refueling station. There is a spot at work or in your house where you feel the most at ease. I would tell you to go outside but what do I know.

Close your eyes and breathe. Turn the car off for a second. Take off your armor and feel what its like to be at the mercy of your surroundings. Green trees and grass…fresh air cascading from your nose down into your lungs. Your body appreciates it.

Smile

You woke up today

Female Bathroom Etiquette

Let’s say you are in the bathroom. You have used the last piece of toilet paper in the stall and there is ladies outside your door wanting to tinkle.

Do you tell them?

What do you do?

Guys? Do we even have this problem?

Love with no limits

Sweat is beading up on your brow. Your toes slowly creep up to the edge until the tips wrap around the end of the concrete platform. you can feel a slight wind but nothing else matters because you are committed to making that dive, making that jump, and taking that leap. You know with all your heart everything is going to be ok. Its going to be better than ok. She is worth the risk. But what are you risking? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. She fills in the gaps of life. She makes the question marks turn into exclamation points. She is the smiley face at the end of your sentence. Even though it’s a sentence you wont speak to her some times, a text, a note, a hand signal, or a whisper in an embrace. It’s the most important thing you will ever say to her. Ever. I love you.

A glance in her eyes bring you to your knees with all the little things about her you love. Her smile is almost reflective because every time you see it you cant help but smile right back at her. You want to say, “Thank you for being beautiful…Thank you for loving me…Thank you for loving me regardless of my faults and imperfections…Thank you for being the brightest star in my sky and thank you for never leaving me.

I have said it before…that there is nothing greater than the love of your closest friends and how great life is with them. I said that when I was unsure of love. Love was an untamed monster I had gotten burned by, and let’s be honest who hasn’t. But how will you ever learn how to ride a bike if the first fall you make is your last? Is it possible to know what true success is like without knowing the pain of failure? And then the perseverance to push through the pain and embarrassment, and the ridicule to finally find that success you have worked so hard to get to.

Love will fill you in all areas of life where everything else cannot. Your job will be better, your tea will be sweeter, your friendships will be more fruitful, your water will be more clear, your heart will be more full and you will never ever feel lonely, ever again. No matter where she is, you know the reciprocation of love is always there. I love you, you love me. Are you smiling yet? Tell your loved one they mean the world to you. Tell them through thick and thin you are right there beside them. You will never judge them, and you will love them unconditionally. Tell them this love is like no other. Love was redefined when they came into your life. You love the spark at the end of their lips every time you come in for a kiss. Your velvety soft lips feel heavenly at any time of day and are always welcome. Nothing compares to your arms around me, the whisper of your voice falling on my ears brings my soul to its knees. There is no one like you and there never will be any one like you.

Smile. You are in love and I am so glad you are on this journey with me. And. No one will ever love you like I do Nicole. Forever.

It can’t get much better than this.

I was sitting at a corner table in Panera today and this middle aged lady walks past my table to get a drink of their excellent sweet tea.

She then was on her way back and reached down to her nether regions and undid her massive camel toe. Massive. She had to bend both knees outward just to get this thing out. She looked at me…for a few seconds.

Then as her face continued to turn undiscovered shades of red, she kept walking to her seat, fixing it once more before she sat down.

By far the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.

Enjoy your weekend. Let your vaginas free.

Figure out who you are, and do it on purpose

Be yourself.

Don’t let other people change you.

Use them to help you grow.

You haven’t filled in your mold.

Grow, expand, melt, form.

Use the words or the world to show them who you are.

I am untouchable.

Effortlessly dancing through the days. Dancing.

Parading through the hallways of the routine of life and touching people, figuratively..with each step, each movement, each blink of an eye.

The world is mine to take. You?

10 minutes.

I love this exercise. You have ten minutes to free write and then let it ride.

Check out this website if you want to try it.

I just had breakfast with one of my best friends. I truly value his friendship and I wouldn’t be who I am today without his influence and guidance and just plain and simple, help.

We all go through tough times, right? Bill has been the backboard for me during those times to keep me from going out of bounds. Always there when I need him, whether its financial, motivational, spiritual (doesnt happen often…lol) or about the ladies.

I met Bill at Lee University, in Cleveland, TN in 2004. Our friendship lasted my 9 month period in college, and since we all have so much fun together it stuck afterwards as well. He had a roomate that nobody liked, Matt Danskin…I played Xbox with him every once in a while so he wouldnt kill himself.

Moving on, I want this post to hit you between the eyes. I want you to realize how precious your friends are. I want you to realize how much that guy or girl means to you and if they every need anything, be there for them, they will never forget it.

Words couldnt tell you how much Laura K means to me. My friendships with Autumn, Ashli, Kasey, Melissa, Meredith, girls girls girls…..got me through a few rough years down here in NC where I would have been sitting in my apartment figuring out different ways to beat Halo. They have all made me who I am and for that I am forever grateful.

Send them a card. Show them you care. You never know when they might not be here.

Love you guys.

Gorman

Valentine’s Day

Wikipedia, one of the world’s most credible resources (yes it has been proven) defines Valentine’s Day as – an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.

Which it is, the day has love in the air and everyone is sporting some red on their person in celebration of this glorious day.

Love, right? Thats what its all about isn’t it? Sharing the deepest thoughts and feelings one has towards the other. Yes I am sure you have confessed your love the third date you had, and then when you asked her to be your girlfriend and probably the last time you wanted to get some. Its ok, you can admit it…girls respond to the emotionally connected type of love (not like the physical love most men lust after). She will crumble like a cookie in your hands.

There is a book by Dr. Gary Chapman called, “The Five Love Languages” which would show you and tell you how to actually treat your lady all year round and not using V-Day as a way to bail yourself out to last another year.

But I digress.(pssssttt…take the test. http://www.5lovelanguages.com/assessments/love/)

I am still waiting for the right woman to come along…(i think i might have found her…so stay tuned…).

The flowers mean so much more on a random Thursday after a long day of work just to remind her why she chose you. Because yes, she does have a choice…to leave or to stay, so you need to make sure you keep her around because there will always be hundreds of thousands of guys who would probably kill for a girl as good as you have right there on your arm.

“Love the one your with”…I was told that once and it didn’t make sense until I realized it was me getting let loose by a girl back in high school. That’s me, always getting dumped…why?!!? Can’t I lower the hammer once? Like I was saying…love the one your with. Its so much easier to fix the small problem in your relationship then to go out and have a fling with a random (guy or girl). its disrespectful to your partner if you would rather do that than fix her. Its better for me to get a promotion with my current job than to go off and find another job I have to work my way up to where I am anyway!!!

Ranting…stop me now.

To all the lovers out there…this is your special day but make it last 365 days until the next year. She will appreciate it, I will appreciate you not sucking at your relationship.

Wikipedia also lists the type of holiday as, “Cultural, Christian, and Commercial”.

Hallmark wants you to be nice to your girlie too.

Happy Valentines Day Nicole.

Hello Internet.

I hate cats.

Long time no see.

Did I mention that with my android phone I really don’t need my laptop? The only reason I need it is to post on here, and that is the reason why we havent been seeing each other recently.

Cheating? It’s not really cheating…I still use the internet, I still check my Facebook and log into my email. We still have the same relationship, its just through a different portal.

Moving forward. New job-awesome. Anyone with Sprint or thinking about switching, let me know. DISCOUNTS!!!

Tier 1 friends are first, and then we move down the line kids. So if we are facebook friends and I dont even have yo digits. psh. Your ass is at the end of the line (exception for hot girls).

Life- Life is good. I have time now. I have breathing room with no pressure. I am the freest I have ever been and the feeling of it is not only refreshing but motivating.

I can finally see friends in the evenings, I can sleep in on Sundays and even SATURDAYS! I have great co-workers and the wireless industry is ever-changing. Its never stale, and always reinventing itself and thats something I need. Massage Envy was just too boring. I tried to recreate things and make it fun but the environment of a corporate controlled franchise is sometimes suffocating.

I look forward to making 2011 a great year, maintaining my wonderful friendships with my peeps and hopefully making some new ones.

I love you guys.

Electronically yours,

Gorman

Yesterday, aka 2010.

Best Meal of 2010 – Beef and Guinness Stew at Murphy’s Bar, Killarney, Ireland.

Best Dessert of 2010 – Key Lime Pie at Nantucket Grill (with Megs-she got Oreo Cheesecake)

Favorite thing to do when not working- Write. I love taking thoughts and putting them on paper. I love expressing myself through words. Whether its love, or pain or confusion the way you can manipulate words to show, tell, embrace and recreate the way you feel is amazing. Words are my best friend and I think one of the most powerful tools we have and will always have is the power of the written word. Try writing someone a letter, they will tell you what I am talking about.

My most memorable moment of 2010 – Spending time with a girl named Megan. I still have the Maxwell House Instant Coffee bags but I have cleaned the Oreo cheesecake out of the fridge and I hope you are using your hat and mittens from Ireland. It’s finally gotten cold outside. Miss you…

New Tier 1 friends of 2010:

Kate Paskiewicz
Jon Horton and Renee Horton and Robert Williams
Hollie Ryals
Kevin Cody’s beautiful wife, Emily

I have some questions for those coming through this little internet town I call home…

What was your best movie of 2010?
Do you have any memories of you and I?
Worst Date of 2010
(MY FAVORITE QUESTION).

If you answer you get major shout outs in future blogs…thats like Gorman Currency.

I love you all, happy new year.
