His eyebrows could only be described as "fiesty"

Last night was really great. Marie and I had a "talk", which I think will lead to things being better for us. Nothing major, just a little touch-up. I'm enjoying my new found courage to discuss issues before they become too problematic. Still needs work, but nice to see a little progress in myself.

After dinner we commenced making 130 chocolate chip cookies for her 'recruiting' tactics at a university meeting on Thursday night. They turned out great and it was so much fun working as a team and having fun together. Nothing brings people together like food, right? Anyway, Terry and I will feast on them tonight over cards and conversation, as per usual.

Randy Moss self-destructing isn't helping my fantasy football team one bit. Well, at least the Vikings can say they are as good as the Rams. I'm 3-0 in our fantasy league and hope to keep the others (this week it'll be jonnyv) at bay.

Tomorrow will be the Y and interviewing/drumming with Brian. Excellent.

my psych professor is a voracious rams fan, and he brings them up at least four times every class period [and the class is only 50 minutes]. he will talk for a couple of minutes about football and then say "HEY who brought up football?? you're wasting precious class time!" hahahaha, it makes me laugh.

I had a stats professor that would sing old fraternity songs (he was in his late 60s or so) to the class. I think all quirky people grow up to be professors.

I figured since this is the topic that we share in common, I'd comment. :)

Personally, I accept people's faults to a fault, hoping I'll receive the same sort of acceptance in return. It never happens. Then I unload. I explode. I blame them for my gunnysacking.

Good to hear you're making progress. Got any tips? :)

Maybe "discuss" is the wrong term. For me, the last three (or four?) issues were handled (or at least broached) by the written word. A few friends read what I said about them in my journal and chose to open up a dialogue about it. Passive-aggressive, I know. But I think it'll be a gradual process to get to being more upfront and bold.

As for the talk with my wife, I wrote (and re-wrote, and re-wrote) her a letter with my feelings and left it for her to find.

Maybe you can choose your fault-accepting with a grain of salt and gently mention things that could be improved upon? There's a fine line between someone feeling like they're being helped and someone feeling like they're being attacked. Of course, then you need to be prepared for them to do the same thing.

So far, so good. The battle will be with my brother and how we've never really been friends in my 24 years of life. Makes for good entries, anyway ;)

Sorry for the delay and keep my in the loop of how things go.
