Random thoughts on a Wednesday night

I cant sleep so I thought I'd increase my blog tally for the month. Lucky you. Just kidding. But seriously.

Dude sweat

I have been a beast in the gym lately. I don't feel any different, but apparently people are noticing changes in my body. Male & Female. I don't really mind the female attention, but for some reason guys feel compelled to approach me at the gym. Yes, I have been approached by numerous guys while I am in the middle of my grueling, sweaty, sometimes stinky gym routine. I just don't get. I always thought it was guy code to not even make eye contact with other males at the gym. If this is still true, there are many in violation at LA Fitness & the my apt gym. Most times its just a head nod or a ill catch a dude starring, but today I was interrupted twice by the same guy. First he asked me if I played pro football & the second time he stopped me to tell me that he was leaving and that it was nice meeting me. WTF. I cant even make this shit up. If the dude didn't have a wedding ring on his finger, I would be a little weirded out, because that type of behavior is borderline gay. On second thought, he could be married to a dude, it is 2009. In any case, am I wrong for thinking that its weird to admire or approach another guy at the gym?I must be wired different, because I cant imagine fixing my lips to talk to someone I don't know while I'm working out. Let alone approach him for gym tips or congratulate him on being in good shape. The shit just doesn't make any sense. I just go in and do my thing as if I'm the only one there. People are strange. I think I need a Bob & Dan ruling from anyone that follows or reads this blog. Is it gay to approach another guy in the gym about his gym routine, make small talk or congratulate another dude on being buff, in shape, or really strong? I think it is raging fucking gay, but I've also had three glasses of Mascato while writing this blog...... 

90's R&B

I was going through my CD collection and found some old school Tevin Campbell.  Man that took me back. Remember when R&B music was good? I do, it was all in the 90's. Back then it wasn't about having a gimmick or affiliation, it was purely about the music. Since college I haven't been able to get a good nights sleep without having music playing in the background. I gotta have my slow jams playing for me to get an effective 8 hours of sleep. Its just soothing and takes me back to happier times in my life, when my biggest concern was which starter jacket am I gonna wear to school today. Those were the days. As I am typing this I am listening to  PM Dawn. My real R&B fans remember the Boomerang soundtrack, that shit had some jams! I need to get that movie on bootleg now that I think of it. *mental note* Anyway, there are a few cats I listen to these days, but they ain't shit on what came out in the 90's. Probably the best decade ever for R&B music. Point blank period.


Till next time.......

I know alot of people will stare at the gym, not necessarily at you, but what you are doing. Maybe they want your biceps to look like yours, or maybe they want a work out partner. I know alot of people find people at the gym to work out with. I have seen it and heard of it. Guys too. anyway...that's probably all it is. At least everyone isn't starting at you because they can't believe that you were able to even walk in the gym. just saying. :)
