Awkward Encounters and Competitions
‘Had an awkward moment at the Cincinnati WEBN fireworks Saturday night. I was walking down the path behind Serpentine Wall and, out of nowhere, one girl in a group of three bolted at me screaming, "Hey, muscles!" and proceeded to squeeze my bicep with both hands for a split second before running away. Sadly, I think she would’ve been too young anyway. Haha!
My buddy said I was red in the face, and of course I would be: that’s never really happened to me, and how are you supposed to react to something like that? After the fact, I was kicking myself for not turning and yelling, "Thank you!" I never saw who they were. And will never see them again. The memory, though, will last forever. Until I forget it in my senility. But I’ve got about 50-60 years until that happens.
On a serious note, I’m giving competing next spring much deeper consideration. I’ve now had two friends ask if I was going to, and I think I’m finally gaining confidence. My buddy reassured me that, even though I may think it’s embarassing to get on stage in front of thousands of my peers in a skimpy pair of trunks, I am competing to be "one of the buffest guys on campus." He also said I’ve got a noble shot at winning it, so I’ll take another 2 months to evaluate the quickness of my progress to determine if I’ll be ripped enough to gun it for the highest spot. I think hollywoodomega would be happy. I’m still trying to find information about the competition, though. When the time comes…

That sounds… like an awesome encounter.
