I go to the gym because I need to go to the gym. Not because I want to be seen or I have a body to show off... no, I am firmly not in the Beautiful People category and I know it. That's why I dress the part -- baggy t-shirt, almost knee-length loose shorts -- because no one needs to see my "extra insulation." Which makes me wonder what school of taste some people went to. I'm a firm believer in the axiom of "Spandex: It's a privilege, not a right." I don't wear it because I don't deserve to.
Like the woman I saw at the gym yesterday. Someone needed to tell her to go put a shirt on. I'm sorry, but when you're wearing a sports bra and your rolls of fat -- yes, multiple rolls, she looked like Dr. Zoidberg from
Futurama when he takes his shell off and you can see the rolls of his skin -- are bigger than your breasts (and more bouncy as well), that's something that could make a man want to go home. Put a shirt on. It's not that hard. The rest of us did it. Even the rail-thin women all had shirts on. And I'm not saying that because I'm a fat-ist or anything, because I'm certainly not the thinnest guy around -- I'm just saying that people should know the boundaries of taste and account for their own situations.
I was so upset and put off by that sight yesterday that I forgot to post my Sunday Most Listened-to Song o' the Week. So here's the rockin' tune, albeit a day late...
Year of the Rabbit - "Rabbit Hole"
I fell asleep about year ago
I'm dreamin' now with the coma fools
I hit my head on the rabbit hole
Long way down
Is this the dream that I always have
Cold sweats with some cocktail jazz
I never thought I could hit this high
Long way down
She said it doesn't have to feel this way
Sit down, boy,
'Cause you don't have to go
'Cause can get high again
Yeah, we can get high, yeah
We can get high again
We can just fly
I felt a twitch a couple months ago
I'm floatin' now in a tear duct pool
I ripped my shirt on a blow torch vent
Long way down
Always up to no good
Always sad
When you're in the forest
Don't look back
She said it doesn't have to feel this way
Sit down, boy,
'Cause you don't have to go
'Cause we can get high again
Yeah, we can get high, yeah
We can get high again
We can get high, yeah
We can get high again
Yeah, we can get high, yeah
We can get high...
