As y'all can tell from my svelt body i love to work out. I work out at a local gym 3-5 times a week for about an hour an a half each session. I have yet to see any results. I was seeing the lbs slide off for a bit but as i was gobbling down a bucket o greasy popcorn everytime i got home i realized hmmmmm maybe i need to do more than just go to gym. I love to people watch, that is half the reason why i go well maybe 1/4 of it. I usually work out on the ellyptical machine with my head phones and watch whatever news show is on. I really do love to work out half the battle is actually getting my plump ass to the gym once im there im good. Anywhoo i was there on the machine jamming out to my music when i noticed this wanna be napoleon dynamite dude get on the machine next to me. He looked like maybe around mid to late 20's with a white headband that i think he got at the D I that fit tightly around his fly away locks, he had on black walking shoes with holes in it,green shorts from the 80's and a stained white t-shirt that was a lil too small for him. The thing that baffled me wasnt his garb it was his ipod he had with him. He was actually watching some asian anime on his ipod and was laughing his face off, from where i was i could see it to and it looked as stale as an old cracker to me. I didnt think anime was funny and i shirley didnt think people who were into anime worked out i thought they just sat at home on their computers so kudos for this dude. But as i was watchin him i kept thinking his ipod was going to come crashing to the ground cuz the cord going to his old school foam headphones was not that long and the more he moved the more i kept thinking there goes his life savings(ipod) crashing to the ground! he didnt seem to care the ipod was sitting on a small lip on the machine i was mesmerized by it. Then i noticed this black brotha get on the same machine next to ND, he looked nice in normal up to date work out clothes. He had nice dark skin and nice bald head to go wit it not that great of a booty but maybe that why he was on that machine. After i noticed him get on the machine im not lying like 2 seconds later i looked at him again and he was sweatier than a whore in church. His head looked like it had been basted for a turkey dinner, his shirt was drenched sweat was flying all over the joint, the carpet even looked wet. This was a skinny dude too. I thought any minute he was gonna slip off that machine. He got sweatier in 10 min then i did in an hour. So by then i had to focuses ...black guy slippin off machine and nerd ipod smashing to the ground. It did make the time go by but neither one of those things happend. I decided i had to quit staring at them or they would think i was some stalker. i turned my attention back to tv and noticed this show on channel 2 it was featuring feel good stories about people in america that do for others but could care less about them selves, i have never heard of this before so i decided to pay attention. They featured this lady who was in her 60's recovering from breast cancer and is an animal lover she takes in stray cats and dogs and bathes them . She had this ramshackled old buildin she was working out of and there were dogs everywhere. i couldnt hear the story so i had to try and read the captioning, basically due to poor economic times she had to turn people away and couldnt expand cause she couldnt afford it, i think most of the services were offered were from her own heart and she really didnt make alot of money off of it. Well someone nominated her to be the angel of the day and the news team got a huge new buildin for her and renovated it with up to date equip they decorated it with cute dog paintings and stocked it full of dog food and supplies, of course she knew nothing about this she thought she was just being interviewed for the show and thats it. Well they gathered all her friends and supporters and met her at the new digs she drove up in a caddy and came out bawling her face off. It was all donated free of charge. She couldnt even talk, she ,was so thankful and genuine. Little did i know my ellyptical was all wet too but not from sweat i had stood there for 30 min after i was done working out. It was my tears, i was crying like a baby......God bless u Madge and Chopper
