I worked legs today at the gym.  Legs make me SUPER tired.  I hate them. 

I hate the gym. 

The best part about going to the gym is leaving it. 

What was I talking about?  Oh yeah, legs.

So anyway, between leg reps I was sitting on the stool I was using to do leg lifts while holding 15-pound weights.  You know, step up on the stool and lift your thigh horizontal to the floor while holding 15-pound weights in each hand.

Three sets of 15 on each leg.  And in between rep sets I did leg presses with 180 pounds of weights added to the machine.

At this point, I’m just trying to impress you.

Did I mention this makes me tired?

So I’m sitting on the stool between rep sets with my head in my hands listening to the new Muse album, which I have to say, is very different from their other stuff.  The jury’s still out on my liking it.

Anyway.

Head in hands, listening to music…

A guy comes up to me showing the universal sign of wanting to talk, which is one ear bud out of his ear and hanging on his chest.  Usually this conversation goes something like, “Are you using this machine?”

Not this time.

“Do you have a headache?”

I pull my ear bud out.  “What?”

“Do you have a headache?”

“Oh.  No.  Just tired.”

“Because if you were praying, I’d ask you to say a prayer for me.  And if you had a headache, I’d ask for your finger.”

Um.  What?

“If I had a headache you’d want to rub my finger?”

“Yes.”

Pause.

“Uh.  No.  No headache.  Just tired.”

Laughs.  “If you hung around me long enough you’d know I’m kinda weird.”

Already there, Dude.  Didn’t need to hang out with him at all to know he was weird.  Looking forward to NOT hanging out with him.

Why don’t I ever have these conversations with good-looking in-shape men who aren’t significantly older than me so I can feel at least a little impressed with my ability to reject them?

Weird older men who are out of shape just make it too easy.
