To cut to the chase, yeah I signed up at gym. No not Jim, the CEO of the massively fattening fast food chain, I mean GYM.. of the run for an hour and get nowhere variety. Check it out on Wiki:
I will wait 5 minutes for all those that know me to get their breath back and get up off the floor. I hope you never hurt yourself.
I signed up at the gym in 4-ways, Johannesburg with a national membership since as everyone knows, I’m not a fan of staying still for very long. Already I have moved house during the week so I use the one in Centurion now. It started out great. Not bad for someone who doesn’t have a clue really. Or any will to go to the gym.
I was supposed to have school class last night but it was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances so instead of wasting that time I decided to go to the gym. It was really good. Late night gym is much better. The chicks certainly are nicer. I digress. So it’s a little busier but I still preferred it.
When I was done and walking out I suddenly encountered what is arguably the cruelest thing ever conceived. I find it difficult to discuss in writing so I will attempt to depict it in pictures.
This is what I saw when I walked out the front doors of the gym:
And to all those not particularly familiar with the sign, here is a close up. I know all you Capetonians know what I’m talking about. Yeah, Primi Piatti
How can you possibly put the entrance of the world’s best pizza / pasta place opposite the entrance to a frikkin gym people? You walk up the stairs and your mind is going, “Turn left or turn right? Turn left or turn right?” And even for people like me who did manage to turn left and hit the gym and are now ravenous, resistance is futile on the way out.
This should go down in history as a modern day example of true good vs evil!
Perfect location for a pizza/pasta place. Everyone knows the importance of “carbing up”. I think you are a very lucky young man. So go for it big fella, bulk up / carb up and be damned.

PS Visa due this afternoon, of on my travels on Friday. Yipeee…
WG - Always the positive outlook with you isn’t it? How can I learn that power? Right, so tonight instead of gym, Im going carbo-loading! And it’s all WG’s fault!
. Happy travels bud!
Sweety have you ever thought of changing the gym? I know you didn;t since this word has been sleeping in someones mind that considered driving an activity. Well consider it now. I’m sure it might be a gym somewhere there closed to which you can find a delicious china or thai buffet….
PS: don’t listen to the positive approach of WG…
Melaz - But WG is like my life guru… He always makes so much sense. Im afraid that happens to be the closest gym that I can go to and it’s already 20kms away. Hmmm Thai food! Thanks sweetie, now I’m hungry again! XXX
Wow Life Guru! Is this because you are my IT Guru perchance?
Anyway, I’ll try and keep you on the straight and narrow as best I can. The best advise I can give right now, is not to follow my example on handling relationships. I remember seeing a book titled “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” or something like that. Right now, I’m in complete agreement. Right now, I’m fairly sure that we come from different universes and not from different planets.
In all honesty, I’m feeling a little blue to day as it’s the 3rd anniversary of meeting the most beautiful creature in God’s world. The worst of it is that I know I’m going to feel worse on Saturday as that’s the 3rd anniversary of our 1st date. Hopefully I’ll be travelling most of Saturday and, if the bus driver doesn’t get lost, I’ll be in my new home town by Sat night. Just in time to do a little John Travolta impersonation. (now where did I pack my satin shirt?)
WG
PS Bring on the Bee Gees, they rock
WG - Mate I wish you all the best of luck. Safe travels and happy reunions and all that jazz. Not so sure about the Travolta look but hey, before my time! What’s a Bee Gee? Hahaha Only kidding! It’s like my blog. “Its only words, and words are all I have, to berate the world this way”… something like that anyway!
Oh and I have given up on women. Hmmm let me rephrase for fear of sounding gay, I have given up on relationships. They are simply not worth the hassle or pain. There’s a saying that has been adapted to fit into the aviation industry but can be used in most circumstances, “if it has 4 wheels, 2 tits or a propeller… it’s going to give you shit”.
IT Guru, i have FRING on my mobile but i don’t understand it. Any wise words? Wg
GYM!! My dear Hoox - I’m am more impressed with you each day! For all the folks who read this - I have tried to get him into a gym for years! Love you lots Bean xxxxx
WG - One word… “Bandwidth”. Not enough power = shitty performance.
Bean - Hahaha. You fed me celery sticks and cottage cheese cos that’s what airhostesses eat. Or something like that. Being tubby is ok in the IT industry cos we are expected to be slob geeks. I’m very close to being a pilot now so need gym to beef up to impress those airhostesses that eat celery and cottage cheese! Love you loads Bean! XXXXX
