Goodbye 2015

I tell ya, isn't it amazing how time really does fly within a blink of an eye? It feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating 2015! But alas, it's been a good year! :)

And since we'll be welcoming 2016 tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to hear what you all have for 2016.   What are your goals do you have to start the New Years?

Lets go out with a bang and make 2016 a great year for all of us, new goals, new friends, etc.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all!

We hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas holiday and a Happy New Year.  This will probably be our last entry for the year as we are going and have been very busy this time of year.  So with that said we will see you after the new years.  

Christmas coming up

I can't believe that its another year just about gone.  Thinking its another Christmas is coming which means having to think about all that fun stuff of gift wrapping, pulling out the decorations and all that.  This is the time to celebrate and be joyous during the cold winter Christmas.

Christmas happens to most of people's favorite holidays, including myself.  Purchasing gifts, wrapping paper, bows, Christmas dinners, wrapping gifts, decorating, family and friend gatherings.

Every year it was just the both of us to celebrate Christmas as we couldn't spend time with family, but we still managed to enjoy each other's time but it is really not the same without family.  Each year we couldn't afford going down to see the family due to the snow.  This might be another bad snow storm which means we may well stay home again.  Love to have some bears over this time for Christmas dinners and celebrating Christmas Day.  That would be a change for sure.

I find myself wondering what to give this person and that person.  Certain family and friends has everything but I then realized and used my skills to my ability.  I started crocheting little nick nacks and afghans and sending them to my family and friends.   This also saves me some money too since we are always on a budget.

So with that said, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday.  Whatever you do stay happy and jolly, and enjoy each other during this festivity.  Some of us will not make it during the holidays to see family and friends.

Merry Christmas !

Growing old

Growing old(er) is an inevedible fact that me must, if not fully accept, tolerate on some level. On a measurable scale, aging can be attributed to the body's ability or inability to preserve, mend or renew damaged cells throughout the process. Recently clinical researchers have established the chronological ages that various parts of the body begin to go on the decline.

In an article that ran in the Daily Mail, leading research clinicial, Angela Epstein revealed the ages when specific parts of the body begin their downward progression. Gulp... In order to avoid an information overload of sorts, I'd like to share only a few today.

BRAIN - Starts to decline at age 20 Get this. We start with around 100 billion neurons or nerve cells. In our 20s the number starts to decline. By age 40 a person could be losing up to 10,000 per day. Such cellular losses have a significant on impact on memory, co-ordination and overall brain function.

EYES - Starts to decline at age 40 If you're not wearing glasses by now, its a fine time you get some. OK, lol. Long-sightedness, which affects the ability to see objects up close is the typical complaint.

HAIR - Start to decline at age 40 Hair is composes of tiny pouch like follicles. Typically hair grows from each follicle for about three years, then it sheds and a new strand grows in. In males, hair loss begins at about age 30. In terms of hair color, most have at least some grey by age 35, due to decline in melanocytes (color device). But even I can't name a soul who made it that long with 100% of their original hair color.

BONES - Start to decline at age 35 Throughout the life long aging process bone material is broken down by cells called osteoclasts and replaced by bone building cells called osteoblasts ( Note, clasts vs. blasts) a process called 'bone turnover', explains Robert Moots, Professor of Rheumatology at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool, England . In Children bone growth is rapid. The skeleton itself takes just two years to renew itself completely. In adults this same process can take up to ten years. Until a person reaches their mid 20s their bone density is still increasing. But at 35 bone loss sets in as part of the natural ageing process.

If anyone has any concern as to whether they are experiencing any of the above bodily 'occurances', it may be a good idea to absorb and aspire to understand them in order to control and slow down the aging process on an individual level. This can be done and no point is too late as long as its not... 'too late'.

Guestbook

The quickest way to chat with someone is by sending them an automatic reply from a guest-list, which the website has provided such as on bearforest there are ones such:  "woof", "hey handsome", "what a fine man".  Even-though it is probably a nice idea, but can lead to a non reply back.

From my experience, I had noticed that many bears do not like those automatic replies so they tend to just say either thank you and move on to the next message or just don't bother replying to it so they end up deleting your message.  They may be appreciated but I'm sure that in their eyes its a waste of time and if you want to chat with a person, start type like a human being and not be lazy about it.

If you are really into that person then you would reply to the person with your own words.  Make time and show the effort that would interest in the guy rather clicking on a reply from the guest-book to save time.  This would show no interest and chances are you will not hear from the person.

You would be amazed how many replies you would get.

Halloween to wear

Many Americans dress up for Halloween.  But are you ready for the proper costume during this time of year as we know its going to be a cold one.

Decided that is a little chilly for some of the sexiest costumes. Think wise though.  Its cold out there.  How about a well dressed pirate could be the way to go.  Even add yourself a wish for that extra warmth with tights my Steampunk seamstress might work as well.

After hitting 30

As most of us know, as the body ages it continually becomes 'altered', if you will, in numerous ways that affect the function of both individual cells and organ systems. These unavoidable changes occur at a gradual progress over time. Researchers on the subject of aging have defined a number of conditions that control various genetic and environmental factors that control them. Depending on a person's genetic make-up, health and wellness practices (or lack thereof), social and environmental conditions and so many other factors, individuals may age at different rates. Indeed, it appears that people from the writer's peer group at least appear much younger than those of previous generations. Though discussion of what aging actually is could be tediously scientific be focusing on a single or two aspect of it is more likely to draw interest in the subject.

The basic short answer to how a body ages is that when cells metabolize food, toxic and damaging by-products known as free radicals are released. When free radicals damage your cells, this produces levels of what’s known as oxidative stress, a root cause of cellular aging and degeneration. To give you an idea of how the body reacts to oxidative stress think of diseases such as atherosclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Heart Failure, Myocardial Infarction, Alzheimer's disease. In this instant recall too, that most of these conditions are associated with aging.

Although there is no earthly way to avoid or stop the aging process, it's obvious that the consumption of foods that are high in antioxidants can help with preserving the health and increasing production of precious cells. Now all we have to do is track down the 'goods'.

Condoms

Wow after discussing with gay guys and how they feel about condoms, interesting how they responded. Many of the gay guys say they don't like wearing condoms as it makes them feel uncomfortable.  I know that some guys feel that condoms may not feel all that great but gay guys should use them anyway to keep from spreading other diseases which the person may have.  The diseases continues to increase.  so its good on the safe side to wear a condom when you are with someone, especially if you don't really know the person.  But that is the problem in today's world that many of the gay guys don't want to chat and get to know you sort of thing but to only want a quick fuck.  How do you know if the person doesn't have an STD, Hepatitis, Genital Herpes, or Gonorrhea or other transmitted infections.  You don't. So why put yourself in that risk before you know its then too late.  I mean, the problem with today's society is that a lot of the gay men don't like quick chat or even talk to know the person unless it has something to do with sex and what they want to do to you and want to get together and make the sex happen.

A member of Facebook went through a safer sex training program, I believe it was called men in touch.  At this program they taught guys to put on some lube in the tip of the inside of the condom.  It suppose to improve the sensation of it.

Condoms have latex or powder which guys can be allergic to, which is why they don't wear the condoms at all.  Is there another condom that isn't latex or powder?

Knowing the person first

Always know what the person before you set some kind of commitment and it could be anything from entering the house, or knowing the person online or whichever.  First off, I would never bring anyone in to my own home without knowing what the person is like. No fucken way.  You don't know what the person is like behind closed doors.  They could be psychos to all you know.

A friend of mine wrote  "I was just discussing that with a receptionist at my thyroid specialist. Years ago my boyfriend had put an ad on Craigslist to sell his daughter's Beanie Babies. A woman called and was interested so we agreed to have her over to show her the collection. My boyfriend decided to also put out some other things to sell. At one point she saw that in a bedroom I had my computer on, and asked if she could send a quick email. I said "ok" and kept an eye on her here and there(I did have a purse hanging on the inside doorknob against the door). All of a sudden she bolted out the front door and had her ride waiting. It wasn't until later that I noticed my purse was gone. The next day we got a call from a bank a few blocks away saying they found my purse in their parking lot. I went to pick it up and EVERYTHING was still in my purse! I didn't have any cash(wasn't working), and had no money in the bank. So, luckily the joke was on her! I had filed a report with the police and she was caught and sent to prison and we both had to separately identify her. Unfortunately there were also several other people there with a similar story. She had ripped those people off too!"

With her story, it was selling stuff on Craigslist.  Like I said, it could be anything and this could lead to danger.  Even a new roommate.  You could be talking to that person for a year or two and still haven't met face to face.  In reality, you really don't know the person until you meet him face to face to know what that person is like.  You may think you know the person but you don't.

Here is an example and I learned from it.  There was an Australian I met online and we hit it off very well.  After a year of talking to Clinton, he was talking about medications he was taking and didn't have the money for it.  So I threw money over to him as well as gifts.  When he got the money he was calling all the names in the books and how worthless I was.  Well put it this way, I hope Clinton "did" use the money for his medications because he needed help.

So with that said, be sure you know what you are getting into.  Make sure you know the person before you go into the deep end for some form of relationship.

Are you in an open or monogamous relationship?

This is a question that keeps being brought up in the gay community.  Some are monogamous and some are open.  The fact is that there are more open relationships than the monogamous relationships. However, there are those who are somewhat one-sided monogamous.  One person in the relationship is monogamous and the other is open.  This wouldn't be called cheating, as long as they both agreed to this.

What I had noticed is that on the bear sites is that there is a single guy who is talking to a guy who happens to be partnered.  He doesn't realize it until after the guy said "we", or "my partner" rather than "I".  Of course the single guy didn't know about the guy is partnered.  Why?  Because he didn't read the description in the profile that the guy is partnered.  The second that the single guy finds this information he becomes confused and annoyed wondering why the guy was on the site if he was partnered.

Many singles go through this and ask that question to partnered couples on why they are on the site if they are partnered.  Well its really simple. Its a social site not a dating site.

Lots of singles just cannot accept friendship and chats as they are so worried about being alone and lonely.  In this case, they go out trying to find other singles and most of the time its the appearance and how cute they are rather than the person inside of it. 

That's why I say to read all your profiles before chatting with the person rather being interested in what the guy looks like and how big his dick is in his pants.  If singles cannot accept the person and their profile what he wrote then they better move on to the next profile.  Don't waste the guy's time.  

I met someone

I finally met someone.  Yes, you did.  All the time tears streamed down your face with sadness, you wondered why you haven't met that special someone in your life and what you are doing wrong.

Just when you thought that things are not going your way, that special someone contacts you through our facebook page.   You see?  There you were crying over nothing.  I knew you would eventually meet that someone in your life.    All things come to a good end in your life.  All you have to do now is take things slow, and just enjoy each other that you are a part of each other's life.

I am very pleased to hear for those who are members to Bear Talk Woof had met your special man.  Thank you all who made Bear Talk Woof happen.  Something that even I didn't expect for guys to meet other guys and having that special relationship.

Weekend photos

Hey there everyone
I hope you are doing well and having a great holiday weekend.  Well I have made a decision on photos onto the group in Facebook.  To make things fair I had decided to accept photos on weekends plus holidays, and during the week we could have chatting after-all that's what the group was created for Bears Talking and not just submitting photos as it is not a photos gallery.  If you want to submit photos during the week, I had created a tumblr page and feel free to send your photos to beartalkwoof@gmail.com

So if you happen to post a pic on the group and waiting for approval, don't take offense because its been deleted.   I don't want the group to be just pictures.  I rather have some participating and interaction.

One side stories

When you are friends with someone, its always easy to take that person's side over the person you are not friends with at all.  By this and hearing that person's side is only partial or biased to hear on one person's view on things without investigating the whole scenerio.  When that friend takes that person's side its favors to them and makes the person feel more powerful.  But it truely doesn't.  The friend is only hearing his side of the story without knowing the FULL STORY.

For example

On Facebook a guy name Jeff was talking to someone and they were fighting with their words back and forth.  People are reading and giving their opinion about what they think.  Before you know it that person is taking off the friend's list by Jeff because he couldn't handle the fighting.  Jeff is angry and pissed off.  Jeff then posts something negative on his profile and other people responds to his thread and how much of an asshole that person was, or they may yeah, he sounds crazy, or something like that.

People can easily jump into conclusions without knowing the full story about things.  So when Jeff posts something on his profile, gives him that power to his friends and getting replies that would build up his credibility that he is right.  By posting something negative about the person tells me that this person has hate in him which is why Jeff posted negative things on his thread.

So with that said, always take in both sides into consideration because it would give you a better idea what the full story is about and then make your opinion about.  Don't judge a book by its cover as its not always going to be that true book.

Robert looking for friends possible relationship

Brad Rigney case

The murder trial of Gerald Allen Benjamins, who is accused of killing 36-year-old Brad Rigney will not be held until September 14 and has been set as a new trial date after Benjamins’ attorney asked for a continuance in the trial, which was supposed to begin last month.

It will take place almost a year after Benjamins’ arrest. He was arrested Monday, Sept. 29, 2014, in Jeffersonville, Ind., after he was picked up at a soup kitchen in the southern Indiana town outside of Louisville.

According to RPD detective Kenneth Edmonds, Rigney and Benjamins met over the Internet and were online acquaintances.


In the early part of the investigation into the murder, Benjamins was identified as a possible suspect and interviewed by Edmonds on Jan. 17, 2014 and some things that Benjamin said just didn't add up.

Rigney, who was deaf, lived alone at the Rhea Blvd. residence. His body was first discovered by his brother and sister-in-law, who then called 911.

An autopsy was performed on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2013, and the preliminary indication was that Rigney had died from blunt force trauma to the head.

Anti social

It really amazes me how so many bears on the social websites are very anti social and all they want is either sex with you or look at your pictures.  I thought the bea sites are suppose to be social network websites where guys could meet and get to know each other and possible date.

I experienced alot of that on androids alot such as through Scruff, Growlr, and Grindr.  However, I do give Growlr some credit because I personally had met some nice guys on that that site.

What I like about the sites is that you could be able to see who is actually within your area.  Like Grinder, say you take a visit to New York.  When you open the app you could see who is in the New York area from where you are at in New York.  I thought this was interesting.  Problem is that nobody wants to meet up.  Not really sure why that is.  I had gotten a couple of responses but its always a couple of words even when you write a good descent paragraph.  Are you telling me that I wrote a good 6 line paragraph to get a response from you "Oh cool"?  I mean, who does that?  Its very sad that it has to come to be anti social as I know some guys very much want to meet up, hang out, have a few drinks and a good laugh and not have to worry about that they are there waiting to fuck you and then disappear.  

Has this boils down to then?

RIP Greg Garcia

Hello my fellow bears!

Just found out we lost another brother in our bear community.  Greg Garcia.  Yep.  He had passed away.  I had heard from friends that there was some talk about Greg having some cancer.  Not only that he passed away but this was also his birthday.


MAY YOU REST IN PEACE BROTHER

TMZ reports:
Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61 ... TMZ Sports has learned. Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday. Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. Roddy's rep tells us, "I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all." Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death.

Wow this is really sad.  I am sure a lot of wrestling fans are devastated to hear this upsetting news.  He was one of the wrestlers I really enjoyed watching growing up.  I always wanted to meet him and wondering what he was like in person.  Growing up as a fan has been entertaining.

RIP BROTHER

Does age matter?

This is a question that a lot of guys ask.  Its really quite simple. Everybody is different on their likes and dislikes.  Age is really just a number.  If you could make it work then more power to you, but if you have a problem with the age gap, then don't bother getting into the relationship because you are not only hurting him, but you would be hurting yourself and preparing yourself to failure.

Many guys could be mindless and would only think of two things, age and sex.  Also many guys who seek a big age gap are most likely the younger guys who are looking for those Daddy figures so they could take care of younger guys and provide for them.  That's called using.  Go find a job, earn your own pay so you don't have to rely on other people for your failures.

Of course you get those guys who want the same age so that they could have their boyfriends for a longer time.  And that's true we all want to keep our boyfriends, husbands, as long as we possibly can but relationships don't last forever.

The fact is you love who you love.  Age shouldn't matter to you as it shouldn't be the center of the relationship.  What should matter are common interests, your likes, dislikes, favorites and so on.  Yes you will find a few uncommon things between the two of you but thats all about learning from each other and making that connection.  That should be the most important rather than worrying about a number.

USA Passed Same Sex Marriage

Yes, something that we all have been waiting to see and it has finally come.  Today Congress has passed same sex marriage in all 50 states.  This should had been done many years ago.

Time to celebrate and party.

What do you feel like what is going to happen after this?  To tell you the truth, I feel it in my bones that this is not the end.  I feel something is coming.  Arguments and more violence to add to the pot.

There are many people out there that doesn't like us because of our homosexuality.  Just because the United States passed all 50 states of marriage, doesn't make other things disappear such as homophobics, and people who do not think gay people should marry, and gay bashings and killings.  We have to still stand on our grounds and what we believe.  And that is really sad how  we have to continue on fighting for ourselves and our equality.  Can't we all just get along?

I'm HIV +, touch me

I came across with this video of a fella who is HIV +.  He was doing an experiment and it was interesting and very touching when he discovered the results of his experiment.   This video is in another language but the video says it all.

I hate my body

Many people suffer from being overweight and it has become a problem especially in the United States.  Calling someone "fat", or "ugly" definitely makes things worse and you don't feel good about yourself and that can lead to depression.

In the bear community you will notice the many shapes and sizes and its sad to see those who are overweight or obese, even being skinny and they wonder why they don't meet at least some nice friends without them judging what the person looks like.

What I had noticed of those who are overweight or too skinny, especially from alot of those Muscle Bears is that if you are not a muscle bear, your not part of that circle so you don't become friends with that you once thought who was going to be interesting and getting to know.  Muscle bears has such a big ego that don't like to be judged so they stay away with the kind of guys who are not like them physically.  They like to feel more powerful than you are.

Wouldn't it be easier if stereotypes would just see beyond a picture?  Quite frankly, I think its pathetic and sad because those people don't know what the person really is on the inside.

If you feel that you hate the way your body looks, then you should change it, depending on how you want to change it. God didn't curse you to be fat or skinny and ugly. You can change that. Eat food with less carbohydrates and fats in them. Don't sit at the computer and complain about life and think about how God cursed you when you can actually DO something about it. Just exersise and eat foods that are less fatty and have less carbs.

Do you want to sculpt your body, do you want to slim down, do you want to gain muscle mass?  Either way lots of exercise and working out will help you transform your body. And when you do that, you will notice alot of changes in your body and you would feel so much comfortable and good about yourself. Guys will be surprised at your transformation.  Including your family and friends.
Trust me, if someone doesn't like the way you look, rather than knowing the you inside, then they are not worth knowing.  Fuck them.  You are better than that You shouldn't feel bad because someone doesn't like the way you look.  Everybody is different and has different tastes in men.

But what if you feel that you shouldn't change your body for them to like you, then I think you should start doing some changes about yourself.  Stop looking down on yourself and feeling depressed and lonely.  Having these kinds of feelings could make you get sick.  Learn to accept your body then, and find those right people to connect with who could connect, accepts and appreciates for who you are and your personality rather than just a picture of your looks.

Life is too short to be moping and complaining on the computer.

No hope

Have you ever gone on a website and you hear stuff from someone and they have nothing else to live for? 

I go on to BearUnderground and I was chatting with one of the bears from Ireland.  Nice looking fella.  He mentioned that he was dying due to oxygen in his lungs, and only thing he could do was wait for a transplant and even with a transplant would give him an extra four years. 

It was very sad to hear that he was feeling the way he did such as he passed 40 years old, feeling tired of fighting his condition, and that he didn't have to worry about dying and he was fine about it because he didn't have any close family in his life, and also gave up on his friends that he ended up isolating himself.

Yes, I agree it may sound macabre, but he was said that it was all good and had everything planned out when the time comes making an announcement in all his accounts that will be closed 10 days after his death. 

After talking to his solicitor, no one will know of his passing until he was cremated and has been dead for 3 days. 

To this day I have been praying for him and hoping he could find something to go on living and not losing hope.

Show coming soon

I am trying to get my partner to do a show together for you guys.  I may even ask him to continue doing shows if he happens to like that one we will be doing.

If you have any questions feel free to send them to the email address beartalkwoof@gmail.com, when I get the email I will make sure that I will mention the questions.

Forget Big Brother

When Big Brother first came out, it was pretty cool and fun and entertaining.  But lately it has gotten so boring season after season these days.  I mean, do you remember how it used to be with just every day people and people didn't care about their body shapes and sizes and how they looked?  Well these days it just seems that its too Hollywood like with the men with tight tanned bodies and women's curvy soft skinned bodies and filling their faces coloring their face with make and smelling like a whore's handbag.  Whatever happened to the every day people rather than those on television Hollywood people.

Lets spice this up a bit and forget Big Brother and bring on in Big Bear.  This would be a great show and very well entertained.  I am sure that the Big Bear After Hours the rooms will get really warm and the windows will start to steam up.  Maybe there should be a Big Bear.  Perhaps have a petition or something.  What do you think?

Prayers to Stan Edwards

Hey guys, I was just informed some sad news from my buddy Mark Tedesco.  Our friend Stan Edwards has ended up in the hospital.

Stan is on a respirator and also a feeding tube.  he is unconscious and has a fever as well.  There hasn't been yet a clear diagnosis but his breathing has improved.

I am hoping that Stan's breathing will continue to improve because I know he is loved by many friends of ours.

Please keep Stan in your thoughts and prayers for his full recovery. I know he is a strong person at heart.  I do care about him very much.

Just watched Evil Remains (Tresspassing on IMDB). Its about a psychiatrist learning about a house where some decades a boy, Carl Bryce, killed before his parents.  Two centuries ago, people were tortured in the house, but Bryce was never seen after the face.


Evil Remains was an okay movie, I think had seen it before.  But I just realized there was a hot Ginger Bear in the movie at the end.  He played the role of a welder owner.  The actor's name is Rusty Tennant.  Beautiful man.  After doing some researching I am wondering if he really is from our Bear Community.  Found him on Facebook and turned out he has many mutual friends with me.  

Australia

I never been to Australia before but since The Facts Of Life DownUnder, I had the love for going over there.  After all these years I still want to go, perhaps live there.  I don't know, but something about Australia has always drawn me to it.  The more I watch Australian movies and television shows from there, the more I want to go.  Even chat with Australian friends.


The year 2000, I nearly went to Australia due to one of my cousin's cousin who lived there.  She wanted me to go there and we could be roommates. but becuase I haven't heard from here I didn't know what to do until my uncle told me she is living in England working.  I wish I many friends back then the way I do now.

I really want to go to Australia, as I mentioned, maybe live there, but the funds are just not there.  And being partnered now, it would make things more difficult.

It would be nice to move there and spend time with my Australian friends and have a great time with them and experience the OutBack.

Playing the game

Have you ever heard of or done the game?  You might had.  If you haven't heard of the game, it is where you could be able to see who had view your profile on a bear site (ie. bear411, bearforest) and a guy looks at your profile, and you could be able to see that guy had viewed you.  Yes, it is pretty much childish.

But you know something, many guys cannot be bothered with that kind of game.  And don't be upset if you are one of those guys who view that guy's profile and expect him to view your profile to what they call "return the favor" and have them start writing to you.  You'd be waiting a long time probably.  If you are trying to catch the person attention, write to them.  Its really that simple.  What's the worse could happen?  That guy may not respond to you, or they may not be interested in it.

You know, some guys really can't be bothered looking at profiles and they just want to talk to normal everyday guys without any strings attached who just want to chat and hang out for a beer or dinner.  Not every guy on the website wants sex all the time.  

Some things you should never do when smoking

1. Light up your cigarette, cigar, or pipe while walking down the stairs.  This is what will cause an accident

2. If you are a first time smoker and lighting up for the first time, expect to have such a high buzz.

3. Chain-smoke

4. Smoke one after the other, you'll get yourself sick.

5. Smoke in someone's house who doesn't smoke. Respect the owners wishes ands smoke outside.

6.  Blow smoke in someone else's face.  They may be allergic to the smoke.

Life goes on

You sometimes when you are in a relationship, you go through up and downs between laughter and crying, supporting and departing.  But what happens when things aren't working out and you both have to break up permanently?  You still love the guy but there is nothing you could do about it.

So you spend your time sobbing and you don't want to go anywhere because things aren't the same like they used to be.  You think about what ever happened to the happy times you both have.  What went wrong? he doesn't talk to you anymore.

So what do we do in this situation?  Well you can't make someone love you again.  you have to let it go naturally.  Hey who knows.  You may want to just let things lay for now.  You never know what tomorrow brings.  A little break can be a good thing.  Just because you both broken up doesn't mean you can't talk and be friends like you always have been.  The only difference is that you both aren't dating each other.

Its time to move on, and stay in the present moment and create things that really make you happy.  Get out of that bedroom.  Start living your life again.  You will get better and know that things are going to be okay with you.

Now, are you ready to leave the room?  Go for it.

Bear Fitness Facebook Page

For those who are interested in joining the Bear Fitness Facebook Page, you are welcome to join and learn from each other.  The page is for us bears who want to stay in shape or who is interested in getting in shape.

 

I am speechless.  Why?  I had gotten some really nice emails and Instant Messages from guys who joined the Bear Fitness page and started working out.  They are pleased that I had created the page as they were looking for a page like Bear Fitness.  I actually thought it was a great idea as well.  So guys come up to me and thanked me for creating it and giving them inspiration and the motivation that the site has given them.  It was a wonderful feeling to hear that I was the one who inspired them and helped them get started on their workouts.

Bear Fitness continues to increase members.  Please be sure to take a look at the Bear Fitness website as well.

My lost friend.

 I have been thinking about my friend Vince (I cannot remember his last name) I used to hang out with when I lived in Phoenix Arizona. He used to go under by TopVersOrso (something like that) many years ago.  We used to do things together like go driving to Popago Park and out to eat and all that.  I suddenly lost touch with him and now I  cannot find him on any of the bear sites.  My friend Don Gibson told me that he is passed away several years ago but is not 100 percent sure.  Does anybody know if he is still alive or had died?

New Years 2015
