You must think I'm a regular gym rat, what with all the stories I tell about the gym. What can I say, I do a lot of thinking while I'm there. I do a lot of stupid shit, too.
Yesterday, for instance, I went into the bathroom to change before I got on the elliptical machine, looked down and realized I forgot to wear my shirt! I had on a sweatshirt, but not the sleeveless one I wear beneath it.
Now the reason this is a problem is because I get so frigging hot when I exercise that sometimes I feel sick. I'm constantly asking them to turn the temperature down in the fitness center because it's too warm in there. Sometimes it's set at 72° F--for gawd's sake, I don't even keep my house that warm!
I decided to stay and work out anyway and I figured if I got too warm I could just slow things down. Thankfully I was able to complete my time without passing out.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin--"I Am Warm and Powerful" mp3 off Gwyn and Grace EP (buy--I have no idea where to buy this, sorry)
One more short story. Remember when I told you about the smelly old dude who was creeping me out? Well, I haven't seen him a while, thank god, but I did see his polar opposite last week. I mean, this man was beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. When he walked in front of my machine I just stopped and stared. I know it was probably rude but it was like seeing a rare and beautiful bird land right in front of you. I had to watch. Of course, I haven't seen him again, either. Odds are I'll see the creepy dude again before I see him, but if I go often enough, I can still hope . . . (insert wink emoticon here).
Flight of the Conchords--"Beautiful Girl (live)" mp3 (buy their EP The Distant Future) Just substitute "boy" for "girl" when you listen.
Good thing you stopped to stare. Otherwise, you might have hurt someone,
or thrown water on the poor boy. Imagine how embarrassing THAT would have
been - you would have been BURNING UP in your sweatshirt!
hey, he was so good looking even you would have stopped and stared! ;-)
Hey, I'm not scared to admit when a man is hot. Take Dylan McDermot for
example. He's totally hot. But, this is not cause for cartwheeling off a
treadmill. That's just dangerous. :)
