things that make you go hmmmm ….

so uhm yeah …

I was in the gym last night – for the first time in about a month… trust me … it was not very pretty – and I learned a lot …

James “Jamie” Lovett is a ‘SEX ADDICT’ whoa !

I’ve always wondered if by being a sex addict, you’d actually be really good at it [sex] … or can there be [sex] addicts that really suck at their addiction?

I’m a perfectionist … I’d make sure I’d rock whatever addiction I may have.

I am a pussy with a pot belly + weak knees

October 9th, 2009 — 8:42pm

So this week after running outside with Sarah  for about 11.2 miles [ http://www.maschavantongeren.com/ing-nyc-marathon-2009/ ] , my knees hurt like hell. It sucks. I feel like a pussy.

I went to gym all excited because of my new found endurance and tolerance for boredom on a run/ treadmill and was ready to bust out a sweat on the machines … looking all tough and shit … dressed in black, baseball hat and new iPod nano … but guess what… my poor little [ ahum maybe not so little ] knees were hurting me. So I decided to throw a pity party for myself and do some abs, check myself out in the mirror and wonder if  I might be pregnant by any chance [ my belly was huge and I have been eating like a pig ]. Of course I am NOT pregnant. I guess it was just my hormones going wild … and in all honesty … that might have been one of the main reasons for going to the gym at that time in the first place … lots of talent to be spotted during the after hours …

So anyway, after the pity party, the sad looks of my pot belly … I decided to throw in the towel and head home. Then I saw one of my midnight madness buddies and decided to ask him for advice on my knees. It was the usual. Ice on and of and advil… not exactly the solution I was after ; I come from a generation that pops pills for just about anything and that is used to instant results. So yeah, another bummer.

Then all of a sudden I spotted Carlos.  The kick box trainer I wrote about last year [ http://www.maschavantongeren.com/2008/07/03/last-night-i-cried-so-much-it-hurt/ ] after I had a work out session from hell and decided to talk to him for a bit. Why?? Well frankly, after that place Omni opened across the road from me, I have been wondering what would have happened if I’d given his class another shot. So we talked and I told him why I never showed up again and what I did not like about the way he teaches. He could sort of see where I was coming from, but I don’t think he really cared, or is planning to change his ways. However, he is passionate about the sports and I respect that… a lot.

So, to make a long story short … I am gonna take a conditioning class from him this Sunday, not too excited about it … but ready for a new shock for my body .
