I was at the gym with my jovial self when BREAKING NEWS came on the tv. The american journalists were finally set free after almost 5 months of captivity in N.Korea.Praise God! It was high drama on the tv so i wanted to get on an ellptical that was close to the tube i decided to mosey over by this older gentleman who is always at the gym sweating to the oldies i secretly call him Charlton Heston cause he looks like him. As i sauntered behind him i was hit by a wall of stench that reeked of pastrami, i wasnt sure if he was farting it or burping it or if it was just coming out of his pores but it stunk! I thought i could suffer through it that it was something that would just waft away . I did give the ol college try and at least stepped on the elliptical but was overcome by the odor. I couldnt stop staring at C.H. wondering what the fudge did he eat 10 burgers from CROWN all in one sitting? Then i thought maybe its St. Pattys day and he is celebrating early but he was dressed all in magenta and i think the main dish is corn beef hash it might be different than pastrami. As i was holding in my breath i searched around and found another EFX machine far away from
Charlton Heston aka Pastrami man. While i was watchin the gripping news of the 2 news journalist that were pardoned and sent back home i started bawling as Euna Lee got off the plane and swallowed her precious lil girl in her toothpick arms. I couldnt stop crying at the whole event. i didnt even care who saw me, i let the tears fall from my cheeks and stain that EFX machine like that old commercial of the lone indian on his horse bawling cause America is a dirty cesspool. I honestly didnt think they were coming home. Pres Clinton still has it.
He was as mute as an old migrant worker out in the fields when they started the press coverage. My emotions were running, i can only imagine how the journalists families felt during that whole ordeal. i dont think i would of even made it 5 months. I woulf of made it maybe a few days then i would of offed myself. Hopefully i would of remembered to have worn my vial of cyanide, or i would of made a feeble attempt of slowly sliceing my wrists with dull chop stix. After the press conference was over i gathered myself and was nearing the end of my cardio when another BREAKING NEWS story came in this one was a shooting at a spa fitness center! The person was a wacko gunman who worked out at the gym. I immediatly looked around for Charlton, my eyes were scanning the area like i was an owl perched up on a tree looking for its prey but i felt like any minute I would be the prey if i didnt spot pastrami out first. I tried to sniff him out but i found him on the stationary bike peddaling his scent away. I gazed down at his side to make sure he wasnt packing heat, you can never be too sure these days. He was clear,phew. Again i was glued to the tube , some loner who could never get a girl and hated that women could bench press more than he could decided to go on a shooting rampage at his local gym. I think like 3 people died then he did himself in. I couldnt help but think any minute the same thing was going to happen to me while i was working out on the EFX, i was wondering if other people thought the same so i was looking around at the other members to see if they also had the fear of God in their eyes and none of them seemed the slightest bit interested in what was unfolding on the t.v. It was like they were ignoring it on purpose ! People were lookin at the ground, looking at their manicures straightening out their clothes....they were scared to pay attention in fear that any minute someone would start blasting through our gym doors. It sucks when u cant go to ur local gym or trespass across country lines doing a news story with out being in fear of death!!!!!
**** just a lil foot note i do like to write about the gym and how it and the people drive me nuts at times but in no way do i practice or condone the act of going on a shooting rampage at any gym let alone the one i officially attend
**** this is an official disclaimer
