I can accept (and embrace) the fact that I will be forever alone. There are circumstances in my life that have led me to believe, (without much doubt), that the majority of my life is going to be spent being single. things happen for a reason. maybe it is a blessing in disguise? some people will never find true love or be in a fulfilling, romantic relationship. this is reality. I mean, I never seem to be the person women want to date. you can ask me anytime for advice on how to be "friend zoned". I have perfected the craft of being single. I'm doing my absolute best to just drown myself in stuff that I love doing (playing/coaching baseball, running 5K's, travel when I can, and utilizing my photography skills to tell a good story). "lone wolves" do not fit into society. with that being said, I've lost hope and have accepted that dating isn't for me. I'm cool with being a tarhead on Tengaged, when I don't have to work.
for your unwavering support and appreciation this week by choosing to save me in the Stars poll at yesterday's day change against SurvivoroftheTocans for 6th place. I am truly sorry to each of you for not being able to do more with the support you gave me. I will not let Stars #401 define me as a person. even though I am no longer capable of slaying your favorites in Stars now (as I am no longer a resident of the Stars #401 House), I can proudly say I am satisfied and content with my resilient and obedient gameplay in my very first game of Stars. I was able to survive 12 days in the Stars House and go unnominated until 6th place. sometimes, you can find victories in a losing war. and I can say I was able to do that.
I also must say, I am not shocked or remotely upset with the final results from yesterday's day change. after playing a neutral game until Day 3 and by not taking the game of Stars seriously until Day 9, getting 6th place in Stars #401 was a good goal for me. I did some slaying (and I did some praying), I made a few new friends, and I saw my girl Vanili saved me in Stars (she's the best there ever was, let me tell you!) and as far as I know, I have now joined a exclusive, new group of Stars players who have never survived a Stars poll before (can I get a round of applause for Johneh, dsradine, mminervini219, and of course, tenacious__tim to name a few?) I mean, last time I checked, my Stars eviction did not get me a promotion at work or a week long vacation, chilling with the models drinking bottles in Cancún. can you feel me now?
but I guess, as for me, I will go back and return to being the responsible fraternity leader of Symmachia, blog about my running adventures, keep my Instagram account more up to date now, work my ass off in grocery retail, and continue living my life to the greatest of my ability. best of luck and success to the remaining Stars #401 players remaining in the game ( LonghornRob, Tocans, Darbe, Vlad21, and raonic). just remember that a Stars victory will not improve your résumé! I'm just saying.
I will do my best to respond back to everyone's personal messages in the Stars poll and in my mailbox as soon as I can (I'm very slow on responding back, no hard feelings at all).
I can't type for too long, because I'm actually heading off to work soon (and I may not be back online before day change). so I wanted to quickly thank those who decided to keep me safe today (including the silent voters). your support and unwavering commitment has been very much appreciated and thoughtful this week. I'm also sorry if I haven't responded back to each of your messages yet (it's been a crazy work week and of course, Stars). but this has been an incredible game (and cast). I couldn't be more thankful for an easy, flowing cast with very little to no drama this week. and to top things off, I even made a few friends along the way. I honestly never thought I would survive long enough to see a glimpse of Day 12. I thought for sure I was going home Sunday/Monday of this week. but no matter what happens today, I'm grateful to have made it this far in my first Stars game. best of luck/success, Tocans. best of luck/success, cast. thanks for a memorable first Stars game. "Tenacious" Tim has left the blog page.
Vanili has my heart. she's the total package. always has it going on. pretty on the inside, pretty on the outside. great personality, always smiling. sucks to suck we live like 5,302 miles apart.
and I medaled for the very first time in running career in my age category! I'm so pumped. I placed 2nd in my age category with a time of 29 minutes, 6 seconds. I'm incredibly grateful and thankful for how much time and effort I put into meeting my goals this week. I cut my time down by 2 minutes, 33 seconds (in just my second race). I'm just so stunned. over the week, I cut my weight and I kept improving my time. so cool to receive my first medal!
