New Beginnings
08/07/2007
While I’m still getting over the disappointment of not being able to tryout for the Tahitian group, I have been busy getting the rest of my life in order. I have the leadership program beginning in late August. It’s our first chance to see who is in the program locally and meet our coaches. Coming up next week I have the first seminar of a series on sex and intimacy. Everyone’s favorite topic. It should be a very interesting seminar if only to see how everyone else reacts to the topic. I have to make time for dance practice and especially conditioning. I never work as hard on my own as I do in class. I suppose everyone is like that. I certainly like the results from just three hours of conditioning and practice–trimmer arms, tigher abs.
The other part of my life to get in order is work, of course, but also dating. I put that on hold over the summer while my son was here. It’s not easy to meet someone new while he’s here, and I would rather spend most of my free time with my son. Actually, I don’t like the dating part…the meeting, the wasted time. It can be fun to get to know someone, but you have to go through so much effort to find one worthwhile.

Thanks for swinging by and love to hear the audio. LOL! Now the topics of sex and intimacy is something that’s never intelligently explored whenever I see an article about it or show or whatever. There are some but it’s few and far between. Perhaps this seminar will be a good one.
I find dating to be a barbaric process that feels forced and primitive yet necessary to find someone. I never perform well in these situations but as I’ve grown a little older I’ve become more comfortable with things and it’s not as bad as when I was in my early 20s. But I still hate dating. Glad you had a chance to spend quality time with your son.

If the seminar turns out a few gems, I’ll be sure to mention it. I’m not allowed to give away too much though. I have been told by those who have taken it and lead it that it takes 5 weeks to get to intimacy, which is really what it’s all about. So the first part will be on sex and our screwed up notions of sex.
I hate dating now more than ever. It wasn’t so bad when I was young. I don’t think I had the sense that my time is valuable.

As you get older yes you do get this sense of urgency about time. Dating does waste vast amounts of time. if you meet a dud.
We do have lots of screwed up notions on sex which ads to the pressure of dating I think. Very hard to unlearn what you’ve learned also. But not impossible.
