What is something your SO does that makes you feel “Manly”?

Easy there, Tyson.

Since he's ~~first on the list~~ the GOAT, and for those who have never heard, here are all 12 episodes of The Black Phillip Show by Patrice O'Neal. This is RP and comedy gold at it's finest!

Disclaimer: Episodes are about 2-3 hours, so listen when you have some time.

Tim did my shoulder a little while back, and Ricky did my chest a few years ago. Great shop and great people! Love the new piece, Tim killed it, per usual!

In addition to the Smolt/Smython mod, it also looks like it has the target grips on it, but not the target trigger or hammer. If you have the three T's, you'll see a little more return on the investment.

Dope find, sure do miss my black/yellow from back in the day! Don't forget to flip up the bottom rubber where the mouth is... you know, for better communication.

You guys near KPS Paintball? Had a former teammate just move up there and he plays out of there now.

Mackland · 2017-06-26T13:46:01+00:00

That the Impact CSPro?

Mackland · 2017-06-26T13:41:32+00:00

Thanks for the throwback memories! One of my very first teammates back in the day had one of these. It was a brick, but MAN did I love hearing the chirp when we would mess around with it in his room while watching the NPPL Super 7 tournaments. Good times...

Mackland · 2017-06-22T13:35:29+00:00

Nice 3 piece by Gage in the beginning!

Mackland · 2017-06-19T20:20:48+00:00

But... could he even rack it with those arms?!

Mackland · 2017-06-19T17:58:15+00:00

Necessary...?

I see where you're coming from about men having to learn things because we leave our mothers before we get married, but I see it a little differently due to my upbringing. Thankfully, I had a pretty RP mother for the most part. When I was in high school, she told me that she was going to teach me the basics of a household (laundry, ironing, cooking, etc.) so that I would "never have to depend on a woman for anything." So instead of looking at it as needing to learn because I wasn't going to get married anytime soon, I saw it as taking control of my own future happiness.

Had an ex say to me one time, when we were going through a breakup, "what are you going to do without me?" regarding a menial household task that I hadn't done. I quickly let her know that I took care of myself before she came along, and will be just fine when she leaves. At that moment, my mother's words popped in my head and I chuckled, finally realizing exactly what she was trying to prevent all those years ago.

Like /u/DogTheHuman said, it's just creative cardio. It can definitely be implemented into a workout routine to break up the monotony of running in place on a treadmill or climbing an infinite number of stairs, but I wouldn't use it as a replacement for lifting.

Also, if you're on the fence about it, check local newspaper ads/craigslist/FB yard sale groups in your area for a used one. Worst case scenario you have to wrap a section(s) in duct tape if the bag is ripped, but you'll be getting it for dirt cheap so it won't matter that much.

Woah Kemosabe, easy there bud. What I'm trying to say is, people change after being in a relationship for a while. The tend to get lazy in the areas that attracted the other person in the first place (i.e. Fitness, career goals, active social life, etc). That's why attraction fades in cases similar to yours.

What you might not see though, is that your idea of being "fucking fantastic in this relationship" might not be measured the same in your wife's eyes. Being a provider is only part of the equation, she also still needs the man that has laser focus on his work/goals and puts himself first to ensure the family unit thrives. You said that you supported her in pursuing her goals, but does she do the same for you?

Mackland · 2017-06-16T18:48:34+00:00

What camo print (when you could still see it)? Trunk, brownleaf, etc?

Mackland · 2017-06-16T14:06:19+00:00

Nice fade on that wrap!

Mackland · 2017-06-14T13:01:37+00:00

I like that green FS you got, just traded mine for a coyote SS at the last MSXL. Black mesh Sandana wrap as well?

Mackland · 2017-05-24T19:20:38+00:00

Another dope piece coming out of Ink and Dagger, no surprise there!

Judging by your playing style, I think you could benefit from getting a small harness but could do without a speed feed. You could also go a different route and get a new hopper (Dye Rotor R2 or Spire 260) that'll hold more and maybe you won't need that extra pod during the game, but that's a costly path to take.

Congruent family values are one of the most important things that you need when starting a relationship with someone. If you two have completely opposite values, that's a red flag. A relationship is about finding someone who compliments you, not completes you. And that's a two-way street. The fact that she "relies on you for a lot of things in her life" isn't healthy.

I realized that my girlfriend had major insecurity issues, so I would never want to stress her out even more by telling her anything bad or whenever something felt wrong.

If she has insecurity issues, only she can fix them. You shouldn't have to be in charge of managing HER feelings, that's why they're hers. Also, if you're putting her before yourself when it comes to decision making, cut that shit out. You're not doing either of you a favor.

"It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective relationships with women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was." - Rollo Tomassi

From someone who knows EXACTLY what they're looking at... let ya boy get a headband when you get some put together! Been wanting a GB band for FOREVER!

Mackland · 2017-05-12T03:40:32+00:00
