Thats awesome! football and rockstar!! Why you thinkin about quitting football man? and what position you play?

Im a lineman, offensive guard/defensive tackle. Mostly just the politics in the league/team I play for. I don't like all the traveling we do since its on to get to and from games it means miles on my own vehicle and gas out of my pocket.. home field is a 45min drive and it's just getting rough on my body! I love lifting and bodybuilding and it's just hard doing both. I've torn both shoulders, had more concussions than I can count. Just not worth all the recovery time when bodybuilding is becoming more and more my real passion. It's no fun taking weeks if not months away from lifting due to a football injury.

Shit man. Ya thats rough. And imagine how much bigger you would be with all that drive, travel, injury and football time dedicated towards lifting?! Good choice brother.

LOL I look at my old judo gi and always want to wear it to the gym to squat. The material would be perfect for getting extra grip on the bar.
Christmas got a newer copy of Heidegger's "Being and Time".

Bring and time was my first "traditional" book by an existentialist author.... I'm more of a Kierkegaard kind of guy. I appreciate SK's effort to grapple with spiritual dilemma of existence.

I read a lot of Aldous Huxley too

I completely agree, with out that, in my opinion as a stage of mental development, you end up with Nietzsche's warped view of life. The dilemma is now how to stagger the impending nihilism. I fear our world has gone down that path.

Ya.. I agree with psych.

Yeah you either end up reducing the existential experience down to a nihilistic view /framework- or you concede to a deeper element of being- although it is archaic I align myself with the Aquinas style metaphysical reality. Obviously by my preferences you can tell I have accepted a view of life and existence that surpasses the carnal realm ( theist ) so it's hard for me to really invest much time into people like Sartre and Russell and so forth-

I used to play guitar almost as a full time job. I quit my band to go back to work full time to raise my kids properly, the band is still touring nationally and if if you live in a major city in the mid west and listen to hard rock, chances are you have heard me play. I am an electrical/ mechanical mcgyver that works for a drilling company.

I used to play poker. A lot of poker. For a 3 year period I was actually making more money playing poker than I was at my real job. I actually treated it just like a second job. Scheduled hours, paid taxes, broke down wins and losses per hour, tracked number of hands played per session, etc.

Then I met my current g/f and decided to quit so I could pursue a relationship with her. I'd really like to have that decision back.

I use to be heavily into fish, even had 7' worth of tank built into my bedroom wall at one time. Had to have people come in for maintenance. Also had a 75 gallon tank for my albino axolotls in the dinning room and the 90 gallon wave tank in the living room. Got to be a VERY expensive hobby!
