Does anyone here actually do anything that is truly unique?

When I left the Marine Corps I bought a few acres and an rv. War taught me a lot about appreciating the simple life. I have no interest in the fancy car/big house/impressive salary rat race. My bills are currently in the 500 a month range. I have enough money saved I could float for several years unemployed if I chose. I answer to no one I don't choose to.

Whether or not that's unique...I doubt it. But my life is currently organized around doing what I choose, when I choose.

Respect. Thanks for your service. I hope you don't have PTS/D, or any lingering crap to deal with.

Enjoy the quiet life!

I am unique! The only one that coach very good kenyan,southafrican,zambian, India ,norwegian,american runners with a unique system. And I just love it!

By that definition, I am the only one out of 7,000,000,000+ sitting in this chair right now, so yeah.

If you don't like that interpretation, the odds are certainly small (and growing smaller by the minute), but infinitely more than "nil".

And, if you don't like THAT interpretation, then I posit that I am the only person in human history who has parallel squatted 585lbs, broken 4.8 in the 40 yard dash, and broken 3:25 in a marathon.

Still, I assume the OP meant "novel" or "rare", not necessarily "unique".

1) I'm not sure you know what "pedantics" means.

2) I'm not sure something fits the definition of unique, if it is something other people could do if they gave a rats ass.

Probably less than 100 people in the country do what I do for some aspects job. Such specializatiom creates Jon security, but doesn't exactly open doors.

That said, if the budget situation was dire enough, I'm sure they would axe me while the incompetent managers will survive and biggie around to complete my current job duties.

COACH J.S

We've seen the results of your shitty 90s style coaching. It took Island only a few weeks to get injured. Just like we predicted.

You're a truly unique clown.

Well I still pay taxes and all that, but my life is completely centered around my two favorite things- running and playing music, the latter of which is my profession. While all my friends slave away at their miserable yuppie jobs and tell me they wish they hadn't majored in business or finance, and try to get a weekend here and there to do what they like- every morning I wake up, drive to whatever park I want and trail run. Then I go to band practice and play gigs all week/weekend. I'm doing exactly what I love everyday not what society says I should. I feel sad for people who either don't have a passion or are unable (for whatever reason) to follow it headlong.

It wouldn`t surprise me if you are the "Island", "Jamin" or whatever. I more and more believe this "Island" is just a fiction caractere who loves to put up a million of threads here about different things and ask after every workout( that he did or not did) what it will give in times and so on. I got suspicious the first time when all this "hurray" of getting our own training thread was from his side. And it was a very strange way to tell he suddenly had got (probably faked) pains after a 12 x 400m workout. Next day.... he wrote: " Also would like to add that theres a pain in middle of right thights every time I would take a stride with that leg and a pain above my left ankle for each stride" If a person are really injured you don`t write " Also would like to add.....". After a couple of days the "pain" went from middle of right thights to "just above the knee" ;)

I see great value in this thread.

I'm not deriding anyone who doesn't fall into that category. And it doesn't necessarily mean you have to be rich, although that certainly isn't bad either. I would just be interested to hear if there are any truly free men here who just do more of whatever the fuck they really want in life

I can make gassy sounds by squeezing my hands together. That's pretty unique.

I'll take that challenge since we are anonymous to one another.

Each completed at different stages of life:

4.5 forty, high school and colleg

400 lb bench, age 30

2:57 marathon, age 47

HAHAHAHA!!!!

So you're on the Island-doesn't-exist-train again. Just like when he first got injured. And when he said he was about to recover, you were all happy and bragging about his progress.

You're some lying hypocrite scum.

I don`t think so "mr Moron" ! As I said there was a couple of things that made me suspicious during the journey....but.... I couldn`t imagine a person would fake the help from a coach..... so I tried to believe all was in order. But now its over. At another thread here "Island" or whatever he calls himself finally show that he is just a "Troll"!

I have PRs of precisely 14:46.34, 3:57.91 and 1:49.66.

I very much doubt there is now or has ever been a human being with that exact set of PRs.

My squat and 40 were at the same stage in life (in the same week, actually, senior year of college). Marathon PR was 10ish years later.

You definitely sprinted faster than me, benched more (by 15lbs), and have a faster marathon PR. I can only hope I out-squatted you. In all humblebrag seriousness, I bet we both are in a 1/10,000,000 category, but given your nice round numbers (4.5, 400, sub 3hr), I concede that I like yours better.

Respect.

Of course I know what "pedantic" means.

I design and create prototype heart valves/medical devices. So yes, I deal with "one of a kind" on a daily basis.

I speak Mmzerese fluently. I am quite certain that I am the only one on this planet who does. Although I have to admit that there once was another.

I'm truly unique in having sex with me.

Everyone in the world is their own unique person with their own thoughts. We all deserve our own gender pronouns.
