arrrrghhh!!!!!... gruuuunt!!!!!.... ohhhoooo!!!ahhhh....ahhhhhhh!! yes that is exactly how it sounded, with the exclamation marks and all. It could very well have been an audio track of a porn flick.. and I would have have left it at that if only I was not at the gym and could hear it over the "dhooof dhooof" of my headphone music. I HAD to turn around ... which would have been easier if I wasnt on the treadmill huffing my insides out. looking back while propelling myself forward is so not a cool look on me.. but thats besides the point right now. So as I manage to sneek a not so subtle look - there he was, this 6 foot something fella --- close to midlife crises age- with barbell twice his size trying to get it off the ground. The covert looks from the rest of us mere mortals seemed to fuel his volume.
WHY??... i mean WHYY ... its just beyond me, no no I am not talking about his moaning - the WHY is for his gym shorts. There are shorts and then there are shorts... these fell into the category of "for females - half my size" shorts. NO!! NO!!!! NO!!!... guyz once and for all ... not matter which fashion guru tells you otherwise short shorts for guys in the gym is a NO... just incase you missed it.. NOO...OOO...OH! And if you are under the miss conception of "makes my butt look cute" then let me dispel that too .. unless you are Hugh Jackman / Hrithik Roshan or Bradley cooper No it doesnt make your behind look cute.
I dunno if its the Singapore heat or the lack of fiber in my diet but a I just cannot understand a few things:-
- Is it just me or majority of the people at the gym look like they Do NOT need the excercise- they are the perfect specimens walking out from a magzine shoot....... Making the slightly "bigger" buggers like me feel even more insecure.
- Mirror hogging Narcissist ... yess you know who you are!!! stop kissing ur guns in front of me... They take "love thy self" to a whole new level
- decked up!! - how is it that these people coming to the gym look like they are going out on a date... immaculate clothes - not a hair out of place and full make up ... and thats not just the ladies.... my criteria for good gym clothes... "should have atleast 1 hole and washed so many times that you cannot make out the print "
- the silent racers... these are the people who translate using adjacent treadmills as WAARR..... they will match you beep for beep and walk away with a smirk ... I dunno why I am always a magnet for such wierdos!!! The other day a lady got on the machine next to me and said " Wanna race..." wait, thats not the best part ... my response " its my 30th b'day tommrow"......wahhhh? wait a minute ... she asks me to race and..... I tell her my b'date - of all the things in the world i could have said !!!!
Sighhh... i have ranted for way too long but I will leave you with this quote I read some where :
I like your style, Anu...Loved it..
