| | Various Oddities
Well, before the oddities (though this may be one) -- 5 hours at the gym yesterday, all starting off with an amazing 10 minute warmup run outside, since it was unbelievably gorgeous outside... I don't think you could ask for better weather... cool breeze, 15 degrees, sunny.. mmmm... followed by my crazy back/bi/shoulder endurance day, then a ~6 of squash, and then as I was about to leave, this girl asked if either of us wanted to play a game... so 1 insane game of squash where I got crushed by this girl from the varsity team [yikes, she was good... if i wasn't so tired I might have got more than 4 points... maybe 5 -- she probably gave me those points, haha... gave her my email, hopefully she'll email back so I can get a challenge (possibly I wasn't good enough :P) ]
Of course, then had to finish off my workout with abs, lower back and obliques...
Instead of quitting there, I was about to leave when the staff were playing some dball and asked me if I wanted to join...
I think the point of the story is that I'm just a glutton for pain and punishment.
- Last wk, got this flyer for deals from tigerdirect, see anything odd?
(Personally, I love saving -$5. I wonder if you can price match.. )
- I've realized the world is quite a funny place... no matter what anyone says, looks matter, and since I'm ugly, I'm screwed, so I'm going to end up living in the gym for the rest of my life, until either my heart gives out on me, or I break every ligament/tendon/bone in my body... fun!
- Ok, so anyways, the whole looks matter business... I'm going to prove it conclusively
--- You're in a coffee shop, and sitting near the door.. people are coming in... when you look at the people, who is most likely to grab your attention? One who you'll give an extra look to?
--- Why is this? Because we're all conditioned to find beauty first... Look at the people on tv, actors, actresses... now, of course, to each their own.. but that is what we ALL look at first...
But, saying all this, women are funny.
Women find things attractive that some people won't... lookswise... For example, many guys have said to me "really attractive women always end up with these ugly dudes".
But I can almost say with utmost certainty that they find the person attractive.. they transfer good qualities about a person and that person seems more attractive. Men do this as well, but to a much lesser extent, or it takes longer to come to realization.
So my conclusion: Though looks matter, especially since it's been said that first impressions are quite a bit (including how you handle yourself, conversation, personality, etc.), to each their own. And though initially someone may not be attractive to someone else, it's possibly they will change their views later if attracted to other aspects of a person. But always there will be an aspect somewhere...
That's my theory and I'm sticking with it :P
- Also, I've been obtaining the top 100 billboard hits from each of the years 1970-1989... so 2000 songs.. and from what I partially have, found some great songs I've forgotten about... including:
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and she’d smile
It would last for awhile
You don’t know what you got till you lose it all again
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
from the air till they play the last song
I’ll do my time
Keeping you off my mind but there’s moments
That I find, I’m not feeling so strong
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Running down by the lakeshore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it’s washing her away again
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
The boat’s steaming in
I watch the sidewheel spin and i
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can’t change my mind
I knew all the time that she’d go
But that’s a choice I made long ago
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
If you've never heard this song before, listen to it... um.. NOW. It's so good.
Ah, I guess the title and artist would help eh? Bruce Hornsby (& the Range) - Mandolin Rain.
- and of course...
Resolutionist Accessories, Pt 5
The Hart House Gas Mask
"What's that smell?!?!"
*choke, gasp*
To avoid choking on the fumes from all the people who don't know:
a) How to wear deodorant, or for that matter, take showers
b) How to wash their gym clothes
c) That their smell is not the equivalent of what people call a 'pleasant natural smell' or 'calvin klein's obsession for men'.
Simply place the mask on your head, and you'll actually be able to breathe (for once). While everyone else has to leave the room for a breath of fresh air, you can simply take their bench! So simple, yet, so elegant.
Available in black, blue and hot pink.
Also available with add-on "Hart House Pepper Spray" dispenser, for those pesky resolutionists who are not affected by the smells they emanate! |
