The Four Horsemen

How can he tell who will split up? There are a number of indicators but at the core of Gottman’s research are ” The Four Horsemen.” These are the four things that indicate a marriage apocalypse is on its way:

Criticism – Complaints are fine. Criticism is more global — it attacks the person, not their behavior. They didn’t take out the garbage because they forgot, but because they’re a bad person. Contempt – “…name-calling, eye-rolling, sneering, mockery, and hostile humor. In whatever form, contempt – the worst of the four horsemen – is poisonous to a relationship because it conveys disgust. It’s virtually impossible to resolve a problem when your partner is getting the message that you’re disgusted with him or her.” Defensiveness – “…defensiveness is really a way of blaming your partner. You’re saying, in effect, ‘The problem isn’t me, it’s you.’ Defensiveness just escalates the conflict, which is why it’s so deadly.” Stonewalling – Tuning out. Disengaging. This doesn’t just remove the person from the conflict, it ends up removing them, emotionally, from the relationship.

Hail and welcome! This is Huginn's Heathen Hof, with your Daily Hávamál.

Original-
Haldit maðr á keri
drekki þó at hófi mjöð
mæli þarft eða þegi
ókynnis þess 
var þik engi maðr
at þú gangir snemma at sofa

Translation-
Do not abstain from mead,
but drink in moderation.
Be sparing with your words,
Speaking only when needed.
No one will think you're rude
for going to bed at a reasonable hour.
-Hávamál: Stanza 19

Part of the reason we're going through the Hávamál roughly in order, is because the text sets up these complex lessons over a number of verses. We're almost twenty stanzas in, and we're still talking about the pros and cons of alcohol! However, if we look back over the past couple of weeks, we can see that much more complex ideas have been woven into the poem. Far beyond the simple subject of drinking, Odin has worked in lessons on discipline, moderation, critical thinking, and hospitality. 
In many ways, the topic of alcohol in the Hávamál is an allegory, teaching us about ethics, honor, and living well.

There are a group of around 10 freaks here who run this site. They have run a lot of guys off. If you don't do something about them they will be the only ones here.

The last two weeks have been great for live music. On the 13 of june saw roger waters Us and Them tour In Sacramento . Then last nights show of Brit Floyd in stockton. I would be the fourth time in as many years for seeing Brit Floyd . they do a 2 and a half hour show. If you like pink floyd this is as close as you can get to seeing there music played.

WOMAN CLAIMS PASSENGER WHACKED OFF TO PORN ON IPAD FROM VEGAS TO PHILLY

A major airline is looking into a woman’s claims that she was subjected to harassment by a passenger who was allegedly watching porn on his iPad during a flight.

According to reports, the woman was on a flight from Las Vegas to Philadelphia and shortly after takeoff,  the man sitting next to her pulled out his iPad and began watching porn and the tablet wasn’t the only thing that he pulled out either.

Good morning from the forested mists of Washington. I trust everyone had an enjoyable night and for those of you on UK time, I hope you have an enjoyable night. Adding a nice tumble with a delicious man in the bed wouldn't hurt either. Hopefully they enjoy a cuddle afterwards. :-) The reason I am writing yet another blog, other then that I have the luxury of the time, is that I MUST know the secret to acquiring all of these various and sundried beauties to share with the GBT community. 

Where do you go to find the pics? Are there various sites that exist where you can download them? Do you keep up with blogs and websites from the denizens of the internet that live somewhere that boys still wear speedo's and have a great camera? I am fussing about this a bit because, how can I give back to the community for all the marvelous "shares" that people are posting here? Well, I keep hoping that some kind soul will take an old man under his wing and tutor me. I will try to make it worth your while, sadly however, I don't have much of anything to entice anyone with. 

Along to other completely unrelated thoughts. I have been considering a move and change of career venue. The simplified version is that I have the choice of 3 places where the opportunities exist and housing is affordable. The first is Birmingham, Alabama. Certainly a 180 degree change from Washington. Sub-tropical warm climate, four schools or universities looking for teaching fodder to feed the machine and beautiful houses for very little money. The second possibility is in Jackson, Mississippi. Still warm Sub-tropical weather, lots of nice rivers and 1 or 2 institutions of higher learning looking for help. Also, the housing is fantastically cheap. The third possibility lies in changing things quite radically and going to work for the Jeff Bezos cult in Seattle. Same climate as here, wet and cool, cost of living; similar to California, as in through the roof! Zero affordable housing unless I am willing to buy land in Olympia, Washington and suffer the fires of commute hell. That was the reason I left the Bay Area of California in the first place. I was tired of sitting in three hours of traffic each way to work an eight hour day. So, that one is probably slimmest. On the upside though, Seattle is full of gorgeous boys willing to take on a gently used "daddy" type. 

Moving here was a big deal. Now that I have done it once and learned from all the mistakes I made on THIS hop I have been doing much more research while never leaving the comfort of my couch, or bed, depending on what time of day it is. Quality of life factors are super important. For example, when I bought this lovely 3 bedroom 2 bath on a quarter of an acre in an idyllic small town I had NO idea whatsoever that I was moving into the bastion of the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church. Sort of like the Latter Day Saints in Utah, this church is huge here. They own most of the land, they own most of the large employers (highway construction, plumbing, contractors, electricians, retail stores, rental property, producers of electrical panels and sub-assemblies etc.) If you belong to the church, then finding a job is easy, heck you don't even have to find it, they will just hand it to you! (my such a rant) My point being I never would have bought this place had I known that. So, any future hops, I gotta take things like that into serious consideration. Current property values in the area I am re-locating to, and whether they are likely to remain the same, go up or go down. Personally, I think the whole economy will soon be feeling really wobbly on its legs again. Sure, it all looks good now, but we are only one sub-prime loan scam away from the whole thing falling apart all over again. The 2008 debacle really screwed me over big time. I had two homes in the nearly impossible to own real estate state in Northern California and lost them both. The ironic thing was I hung on F O R E V E R and if I had been able to hang on three little months more I would have been over the hump. Housing prices sky rocketed right back up three months after I sold both homes at a staggering loss. (oh my, what a pity party...okay, moving right along...)

So, here it comes guys, yet another request. Has anyone here had any experience living in the cities and states mentioned? I would LUV LUV LUV your thoughts, insights, ideas whatever...into what it's like to live there in general, and for gay men in particular. I can't see Alabama or Mississippi as being particularly progressive, but lots of the things I read on the internet about the "New South" give me hope. Basically anything you, or your friends might know about local living would be most welcome and deeply appreciated. 

As always, thanks for reading (although I can't imagine why you would waste your time) but hey; you don't receive if you don't ask!!
