Next semester I'm only in class for 2 hours a night 5 days a week! After the past year, that'll be a fucking cakewalk. Life=good. See, I told you I'd slack off - now I have no choice but to!

Some vacation - I've been kicking my own ass in the gym. It seems I'm more into the gym than I realized. It really is addicting, even if my boobie isn't working right. I'm even doing that cardio shit again - not just running.

Question - why do all these morons get on the cross-trainer machines and then put their hands on the stationary handlebars? There are tons of free machines that don't have the handy things - but they block these off. Buggerers!
(no offense to genuine buggerers or those that otherwise engage in the the joys of buggery)

MY FANTASY of taking my knowledge and putting it in my head as a kid, so I can do everything right from the start, still going strong after all these years. Now I have a flash of "What if this is it? What if I've steered myself into every possible best scenario? What if I'm experiencing the best possible level of wealth, career, schooling, social, play, physical...what if I have the perfect mix of work and relaxation, pleasure and pain..." then I realize I'm a nut.

Today is farmer's market day so apples, cookies, and italian ice loom on the horizon.

The elliptical machines give me motion sickness, which is a shame since I can work up a sweat in like 5 minutes on them.

Maybe you can adjust to them over time? It took me a while to get used to the motion and have any natural rythm on the things. Well, rythm for a guy with as much whitey blood as I have. Maybe we could tackle a pair together and gab to distract...me from boredom and CNN, you from bleargh?

I'm a huge fan of the elipticals - they're the only thing that really get me tired without pissing off my shins or knees.

Actually, I think talking to someone might make the motion sickness worse. It does on the Metro. (I'm so pathetic.)

Ok - scratch that idea!

Pathetic my ass - you're doing something. That is un-pathetic. Hell, it's un-american - cool!

I switch between ellipticals and reclining bike. As I wish to read (or study) I may use the ellipticals while holding the bars to steady myself for reading. Another reason, in my case at least, has been when I've done something to my right shoulder and can't use the cross-training aspect but still want the cardio and legs.

hoo don't get me started on gym pet-peeves... what about the dumbasses on stairclimbers who lean on the rails with most of their body weight? Hello... are you interested in cardio or isometric excercises for your upper body? Or those who talk to loudly on their cells... dur... if you're capable of speaking comfortably on the phone you might as well be walking around outside instead of forcing me to turn my walkman up... /bitch
