Apparently I was a topic of conversation that worked it's way back to me. I know it would have bothered some people, but I honestly got a chuckle out of it.
An acquaintance of mine was a little concerned about my bodybuilding. So much so, that they talked to someone else close to me, to find out if I'm okay. It's always best to get gossip secondhand. The person close to me asked the acquaintance why they thought I was now competing in bodybuilding. The person's response was "I guess I just assumed it was a midlife crisis." But that's not why the person was worried about me. They were concerned that it would lead to infidelity and divorce.
Now I don't care who you are, that's damn funny right there!
I did a five second soul search. The question I asked myself was, "Do I look like a guy in crisis?" I didn't have the answer. But if I do appear that way, then I had the midlife crisis thing all wrong. It looks like I have a lot more cool stuff to look forward to.
The big issue is cheating on my wife. To which I can unequivocally respond, I AM A ONE WOMAN MAN! Truly I am. Just like the great majority of Glauser men. I am crazy about my wife. I've got life too good. We may have lived with God for over 600 million years before we came here to this earth. When I was searching for a bride, I took my time and went on so many dates, I couldn't even count. It took five years of dating, searching, and spending countless dollars on what ended up being other dude's future wives. When I finally found Kristen, I knew I hit the mother lode.
Another factoid, I don't even see those bikini babes backstage. I put the blinders on. They make me nervous. If one of those beauties did say something to me, I would most likely stutter out a nonsensical low carb response with a little drool. Best to avoid them. Besides, I'm too wrapped up admiring my own glutes to pay attention. And checking out the other dudes physiques. And there is nothing to worry about there either. I promise.
I share this so none of my friends "worry" about me. I haven't lost my integrity or my soul. And if you see me having a ton of fun in life, cut me some slack. I'm just a guy in crisis, trying to make the best of it. And hoping it doesn't end.
