Crossing arms and misreading the sinister world

Face offs happen everywhere. Not the kind with Nicholas Cage and John Travolta swapping skin, but the kind where two or more people are in company, talking or not talking to each other.

Business, relationships, stand-offs with the delivery guy come late and with broken and dented packages, it's everywhere and anywhere. And it's the non verbal parts that open up a little on the conversation at hand.

Reading the game is all about reading the other person, and key to that is where they're holding their arms. For instance, those with their arms crossed are said to be defensive and guarded about themselves and the situation.

Never once do they who write those guides think of the people whose arms are freakishly fused in such a fashion. They could be opening up, but people who read body language wouldn't know.

 
 

Just The Thing to rock your world

Between a rock and a hard place, Thing stands between them. Ever the blue eyed lover trapped in a rock hard body others would, and some have tried to, kill for. Rock hard but certainly not the kind of body by Jake standard.

Problems exist when living in such a shell of an existence. More so than the expository notion of despair and loss from finding the right kind of pants to fit.

Seats, despite the widening of the world in the face of anorexia and bulimia, continue to incrementally increase in width. With the junk in the trunk overflowing, it could be some time before riding on conventional transport doesn't incur buying two, or even three, tickets.

Such slow moving of the slow movers is enough to cause fury and anger. But that's the problem with living in a body far too big for even the big man clothing stores. Just check out the statue, a massive foot print to match the massive heft. No workout without a weight.
