Post your triumphs...A challenge...

I was skimming through the threads on the Talk Shite page and ran across this thread... Post your sob stories. A challenge but serious.

We have all had our challenges, but I never really had what I would call a Sob story..... even my current challenges are far from a sob story, so I had nothing to add there. I have however had a few triumphs in life, small but defining moments....here are just a couple.


My freshman year in college, having not lost a High Jump meet all year I finally met up with the top jumperof the year, in the conference finals. We came down to the final height tied on misses. All of the other events had concluded. He failed his third and final attempt and could do nothing but wait on me. It would be a personal best and would bring me the conference championship. My nerves were jangling and I could hardly breathe. I lined up, pictured making the jump in my mind and started my approach. I leapt skyward, arching over the bar with perfect timing, dropped my hips and kicked my heels clear of the bar. I had won! Every hair on my body stood on end...the crowd was electrified, my teammates swamped me by the pitmy veins pumped what seemed like pure adrenaline. I had won dozens of track meets and swim meets as well as been a member of a state champion basketball team. I never had that electric feeling before or since.


It was a company party, some of my coworkers convinced me to go. They said the booze was free so lets just go and have a good time. I agreed.

We walked in and surveyed the hall at the cabana club. All the usual suspects were there. The boss, The guy from receiving, the secretaries, some of the vendors. Then I saw her....a vision in a tight knit dress. The girl of my dreams. Blonde, buxom and brown puppy dog eyes. I decided right there she was the one. (Corny as this sounds it is true) I found out what she was drinking and the next time she came towards the bar I met her with her drink and asked her this question....Will you marry me?
She of course laughed in my face and said not right now maybe later.

So she was saying there was a chance!!!! I managed to get her number by the end of the night and 19 years later we have been married 15 years...for a bum like me That is a triumph.



What's that you say...I'm a dork? That's nothing?


Well then, come on, let's have it. What are your greatest triumphs and achievements?

those are good ones dude


i was a freshman in high school ; 1st day and PE class is like class 1 or 2

everyone is nervous and trying to act cool and tough

there's several thousand kids in this overcrowded school


i've grown like a mofo over the past year and i'm taller than most of the kids in PE class but rail thin; there's this little dude in line next to me (wayne i think) as we're all squishing our way out of the GYM into the main hallway after the 1st morning (which consisted of getting our lockers and listening to something boring spewed out from the coach)

there's some big dude next to the wayne who for no reason starts pushing him and talking shit; now i don't know either of their names and they dont know me

it's one of those moments where kids go from anonymous to bully/bullied and i recognized it as such

i grab the big dude by the collar and move him a couple feet away and say "cut it out asshole"

the dude kinda withers from the sudden attention and shuts the fuck up

Wayne never was picked on after that and a year goes by and he gets big anyway and he ends up being one of the popular richer kids in school; we'd have classes together over the next 4 years, weren't really friends or anything

who knows if the big dude was going to terrorize him later or if wayne was destined to buy a trench coat and a sawed-off

but as we were walking out into the hallways a couple seconds later, wayne mumbles where noone else can hear
"thanks dan"

that was a damn fine feeling
