More Tales From the Gym

posted Wednesday, 30 January 2008

    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!

P.S. You ARE starting to sound like a bit of a gym-rat. I might be forced indoors myself tomorrow, judging by the forecast. I'll have to remember to take my mp3 player, lest boredom overtake me. :)

hey, he was so good looking even you would have stopped and stared! ;-)

i ran outside the other morning and it was very cold--on my face, that is--the rest of me was sweating. i can't win, i don't think!

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. :)

Actually, and I probably shouldn't share this but what the heck, I probably would have been tempted to pinch my belly flab to see how much or little there was. I find my own belly fat to be highly amusing - i like to grab it and shake it around. This, naturally, causes my wife to cringe & shake her head in bewilderment. But, as long as I find it amusing, I think I am good shape (metaphorically speaking)!


all mp3s are for sampling purposes only. you like it? you buy it. you want me to take it down? let me know. and for the uninitiated, if you wish to listen to a song, click on the little blue arrows and they will stream. thanks, your host and music lover, mjrc.
