GQ (Gym Queer)
So, this morning I was at the gym minding my own business, listening to my MP3 player. I had already done my cardio...which is usually spent watching people. You have the women who come to work out with full make-up and just finished hair. Uh, you're going to sweat. It's obvious they come to the gym strictly to impress people. Then you have your meat heads, as I call them, who come wearing those stupid little tank tops. You know, the tanks that are really skinny and go down past the man boobs. Yuck. Those guys walk around like their shit don't stink. Hey, I say, if you've got it flaunt it...but maybe cover up a little. And then you have your old dudes that like to wear shorts from the 60s. Yea, the really short ones and they, for some reason, feel the need to tuck their shirts in. Gross! Well, this morning I found a new category. While I was listening to my music I could hear some guy really huffing and puffing and making all kinds of racket. He was using the Leg Extension machine. The weight was just so heavy for him that he kept letting the weights slam down. I turned to look, as I assumed it was some big, beefy man. Ha!! It was this little tiny, wimpy dude. He was really struggling. But after every set, he would look around to see who was watching him because he was so proud of himself. After he exited the machine, I couldn't help myself...I had to go over and see how much weight he was trying to lift. I actually laughed out loud. Thankfully he was no where in sight. The weight was set at 70 lbs. I can lift 70 lbs. What is wrong with people? I don't go to the gym to impress people. I go to the gym to impress myself. I'm impressed that I actually get up at the ass crack of dawn to go. I'm impressed that I don't fall over dead after only 30 minutes of cardio. I'm impressed that my leg muscles still work after what I put them through. I most certainly don't go to find men to gawk at. And I definitely don't pretend I'm some awesome athlete. So, my new category is Gym Queer. We'll see if I can find anyone else to join the lone tiny dude in the club.
