I gotta write something to get all this sadness to scroll away. Let me see, what can I write…
I’m going to the gym tonight. Run a few miles on the road to nowhere while watching silent TV’s that require a headset to hear them, surrounded by older ladies who haven’t figured out yet that they need to do more if they hope to ever lose that ‘little extra weight’ they always moan about carrying around. One of these days I’ll say “Well you know ladies, it’s NOT a walking machine, it’s a RUNNING machine and if you turned up the pace and actually ran on it, as opposed to strolling slowly on it while chit chatting, you might just lose some of the weight you’re carrying there.”
But I wouldn’t do that in reality. I do that in my head every time they start moaning, rather like a ‘Six feet under’ or ‘Ally McBeal’ imaginary moment, you know?
I get so bored doing those machines though. It would be better if they could make them more interesting. You know, like have obstacles pop up and go past you. Things you had to jump out of the way of. Maybe a dog that chases you barking for a bit. Stuff like that.
Scroll away…
Scroll away…
Okay, it’s a quarter past eight. I should go.
I wish they had one of those boxing punch bag things that I could beat the crap out of.

Yeah, exersize the VR way. We could shoot things too. Make it like a video game! I want that lady with the big.. err… lings in it, what’s her name? Lara Croft. How does she manage to stay upright? Oh wait a second, she’s not real, pity. Well she can be real in our game. Actually though, I was always very bad at those games. I’d jump into a river and sink like a stone. Right to the bottom. My friends would be saying “You’re supposed to swim.” Ya think!!
It’s like ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ Now that’s a game. A couple of years ago I was in West Virginia on Christmas day playing that. But all me and the kid who owned the game actually did was get onto the multistory car park and shoot innocent people for fun. Oh, I guess we also picked up hookers and killed them too. Good clean fun!! LOL
As for ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Ally McBeal’. The first of those two is excellent. I have season 1&2 on DVD. Pretty depressing really, but I have a liking for dark stuff like that. An old friend of mine said I inject ‘fake misery’ into my life to counter the fact that I am always so darn happy, and you know what, I think she might be right. :-)

Haha! I loved the bit about the dog chasing. That would surely make me run :-) And I’ve never seen Six Feet Under or Ally McBeal (or Ally needs a McMeal). Are they good?

yeah! I’d LOVE a machine like that! Maybe a bit of VR, with a sweat-absorbing helmet, and you’re on the track and being chased by people with guns, or live dinosaurs, or your ex. lol :-)

Disclaimer : That comment about Aftertheone praying over my computer was NOT IN ANY WAY meant as a dig or critisism of Colleen. I enjoy reading her posts, she’s kinda ‘out there’ but I think that’s what I like about her. It’s good to have people around us that are ‘out there’ because it makes us want to travel, and someone told me once that travel broadens the mind.

Thanks for randomly stopping by, and leaving an even randomer (ahh yes, I enjoy throwing less than legitimate words into the mix every now and then) note. Worry not, I really didn’t view you as much of a stalker. That is, until you finished your rant about it, and had practically convinced yourself that you were one. I did begin to wonder at that point…..
Just kidding, really. I enjoy random comments. I always find it a bit humorous when people manage to stumble across my little blog, though. I’m not really sure why. But it’s kinda fun to know people other than my little circle of friends happen upon it once in a while.
Anyway, do have yourself a rather delightful rest-of-the-week, and feel free to drop by any other random times that you’d like. :)
God bless!

See I would go run on the beach, or in the Village, but there is one thing… it’s too bloody cold!!! :-)I’m a big ol’ wimp when it comes to the cold. I may be the love child of a Brazilian milkman or something, I dunno. (Do Americans even know what a milman is?)
As for the larger ladies (not to be confused for the less desirable Lager ladies), I don’t hate them. I like them actually, but I just wish they would stop pretending to exersize :-)

Why don’t you run on the beach you live near? Wouldn’t that be less soul-destroying? Walking, running, jogging – whichever. Surely it’s better to do that than to be stuck in a smelly gym, breathing in rancid air, watching MTV and hating the woman next to you.I talk from experience
