Aaah…so you are also a perceptual artist;
You see beauty in living things!

P.S. If I had you as a teacher I would have probably ended up in a useful career.

You should see the enigneers and managers when the EPA comes around. It is hilarious to watch them sweat and pray nothing is found and that nothing goes wrong during their visit.

Huh, maybe your not such a bad guy after all.
I am assuming you still have no plans to coach the soccer team though?

Being an artist is, IMO, one of the most difficult professions. You’re taking your innermost thoughts and feelings and putting them out there for the world to see. That can be brutal — no matter how beautiful, there’s always a few who’ll not understand. But to give birth to an idea, to create something no one else ever did before, that is nobility of spirit.

No excuses there; except maybe the TRT. Its pretty bad until you get the injection timing right. I feel bad about insulting the soccer guys. Andropause DOES exist and I’ll testify to it.

I haven’t released my work yet, I’m scared!

My business advisor wanted to turn me into a star and I said : No, No. I’m not afraid of being misunderstood, I’ve had that all my life. It’s the unnecessary attention and “adulation” I am sacared of - I like my space…

That’s why I took up lifting, to get the courage to lift my project off the ground and show others my spiritual muscles.

Or become a powerlifter by cowardice of practice! Ha!
