IF ONLY WE WERE UNISEXUAL Working out is one of the most self conscious thing you can ever do.
Let's see what people do in the gym:
1. Work out. (of course) 2. After some muscle pumping, they stare at themselves, especially at whichever part they've just worked at, as if after doing a cycle of weight lifts you get an extra inch. 3. After staring at themselves, they stare some more, not directly this time, but at the mirror, and in the mirror they find their own reflection. And then they stare some more. 4. They might glance at other people occasionally. 4A. That's either checking out the other bodies around (literally, bodies), or 4B. Feeling more content with oneself. When there's contrast, you know. 5. Back to step 1.
And let's see why people are obssessed with working out: 1. Because you get a hot body. For him/her. 2. Because you get a hot body. For yourself. But then it's just the same as point no.1 isn't it? Becasue it's for him/her so it's for yourself.
Get it? But then let's see what people who lived in 456 BC or simply put, ages ago, would think of people working out in a gym: 1. It's a room full of machines (a concept that could not exist at that time, I believe) 2. It's a room packed of people using machines, but it isn't anything like a production chain. 3. So no matter how you explain it I'm sure people from 456 BC wouldn't understand what it's about - why do human beings have to make weights and lift them together inside a room? (And not to mention it involves a 'fee' - something that stone age people might have a concept of.) You know back then people get 'fit' (or 'fitness'... are they not the same thing?) not by working out (like lifting a stone or chasing tigers) but by hunting/running for cover/attacking other tribes/catching the fish/climbing up the tree for that ripen papaya (do they grow on trees? I think they do) and, reproducing.
Well. Nowadays, people only get fit by... the last point above, I'm afraid. (and there's something called 'sports' of course. But then... you get my point.)
But come to think of it, how fit do you need to be to achieve that funciton of life?
Enought of that banter about working out. I'm not obssessed. That's just a funny thought I had at the gym. The fact that we make weights and machines for us to pump muscles that aren't that useful really for the modern human tribe, and that we are paying a fraction of our income for it, and that we all do it in the same room, and that people keep looking at their own muscles... the whole thing kinda cracked me up.
My next point originally would be choosing your partner (or 'mating', just a raw and degradative term but you know it's just the same thing really). But no - i should talk about something else.
Oh, like how there's this new film called 'Hard Candy' showing in the US right now. Let's see what it's about, shall we?
OK, since I'm being random here. Here's a link for you to listen to the whole Rihanna CD in full.
Toby Keith has appeared on AOL for a SESSION, you see. See him perform a set of 3 songs, including my favorite 'Crash Here Tonight'. The album version is all kinds of brilliance, but now on AOL you can see him play the guitar together with another bloke for that song. And that, you can imagine, is so very gay. I didn't sit through the whole thing. Maybe you should try. It's a nice song, I warn ya.
That's enough for one night.
You know, a friend's doing it underneath another friend and somehow the friend becomes too exhausted to push a button and another friend's annoyed because of all the motion (and who knows what shit he has to put up with).
Now I know I shouldn't but I really can't resist posting this bit of useless info that's not meant to be understood by you but it's so funny it cracks me up.
it's all an illusion there's too much confusion down down down with your heart find find find the secret turn turn turn your head around baby we can do it we can do it alright do you believe in love at first sight it's an illusion i don't care do you believe i can make you feel better too much confusion come on over here can we get together i really i really want to be with you come and check it out with me i hope you i hope you feel the same way too...
