** GRUNTS r US!

yes, i said grunts~!

i usually don't vent too often but i have to devote a small amount of time on this subject. the gym is always an interesting time. lots of sweaty people in all shapes and sizes wearing all different kinds of interesting get-ups to work out in. for example, there is a man in his late 50s that ALWAYS wears jorts (that's jean shorts for those that are a little slow)! there is also a man in his mid 40s, that is literally what i am sure he thinks is a BRONZE god! very, very, very tan and always wears faded black tank tops and baggy pants and work boots!! enough of a visual though..

my issue is the fact that sometimes these folks get so wrapped up in their AARP conversations and crowd around the weight machines that nobody is actually working out! this effects me because i am patiently waiting to use certain machines. they yap about the war, the baseball game, their next vacation, etc. PLEASE people, work out or move to another area! be courteous of others and take your "coffee talk" elsewhere. there is no need to hold up others that have a "job" (using that term lightly) that they report to 5 days a week!

the other topic of discussion today is the "grunting"! i know i have heard about this very topic recently on the news (some guy in a NYC gym got into a physical fight with another because he wouldn't stop the loud grunting, one sued the other, etc). this guy today (haven't seen him before) was running on the treadmill fast with headphones on doing his thing (good for him). i was cracking up and losing my focus because he was grunting so loudly i could hear him with my headphones on!! i seriously thought he was behind me having wild SEX, not running!! very odd indeed and i just about lost my grip and dropped my weights! anywoo, at least someone was benefiting from their $35/month gym dues!
