so tonight i actually worked out. i was feeling all pumped up, and i went to the gym and i worked out for a long time. lots of cardio. i feel pretty good about myself…tired..but good.

the greatest part was that Family Guy was on the whole time. so much easier to work out when i’m enjoying myself. i can almost write off the fact that i’m all sweaty and tired if i’m laughing.

at the gym i realize how very important it is for me to watch tv with other people. when i’m all alone, i laugh out loud, comment, whatever, but when i’m at the gym, it’s rather odd for me, with headphones to comment and laugh loudly in a large white room that is nearly silent aside from the panting of the one or two 50+ year old men on the cross trainer down the line and the swishing sound of the the treadmill turning the the stationary bike pedals shifting.

it’s weird that i laugh out loud–because no one else understands. there are 6 tvs, and no one else seems to be enjoying the programming, so i decide i am watching alone.

and it just makes me want someone else there. just on the next machine, we obviously aren’t talking because we both have our headphones on, listening to the greatness that is family guy. but when something really funny, just a really great moment occurs, i can turn to that person and smile really big, maybe even chuckle (though he/she can’t hear me), and know, that someone else is on the same page as me.

that’s weird…isn’t it.

i don’t notice it in my apartment. it just really comes out at the gym.

so i love when megan works out with me. it doesn’t happen that often because our preferences on working out times dont’ seem to mesh.

i like to work out late at night, so i can shower and then goof off (probably doing some lame, like blogging) and then hit the bed.

she likes to go right after work. which is when i eat. eating is important to me. and thus, a problem occurs.

tonight i bought mad gab. it was on sale for $15. a deal i couldn’t pass up. and now i own it. you wanna play for a minute? cool.

here we go:

in case you don’t know the rules, you have to read the sentences out loud and figure out what they “actually” say.

for example:

Finnel Easel = Vin Diesel

a little harder:

Thief Emily Chew Hills = The Family Jewels

Okay, so here are a few for you to figure out. The answers will come at a later date. Let’s see if you can figure these out.

1. Unique Waters Forth Ease Lots

2. Thief Hull Mound He

3. Fee Sack Hard

4. Thud Hen Verb Wrong Goes

5. Shah Nigh At Wane

6. Eggs Dream Ache Oh Fur

7. Might Beef Hat Creek Wet Ink

8. Weep Ring Hood Thins Tool I’ve

9. These Pie Ooze Hag Dummy

10. Thumb Worth Hum Hairier

Okay, you can leave a comment if you figure them all out. I’d be impressed. Enjoy!

Well, hey, time for bed, but happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and mashed potatoes.

I want to change the world…instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.
But all that I know is I’m breathing.
All i can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.
