Gym Notes Roundup

Sometimes the gym serves me as a random thought generator. Since I carry a notebook with me, I sometimes write down said random thoughts. I actually write one phrase a day, and looking back on almost 3 years of gym notebooks reminds me that when lifting, I usually write gibberish.

However here's some that I feel like archiving here. These aren't the daily phrases, but the random thoughts I write in the back of the book. The extra fun for me is figuring out where I was in life when I wrote them

• Don't focus on the time you don't have, focus on the time you do have.
• It must be nice to get a new hair cut. I'm at the point in life where my next new hair cut is "bald".
• Good dog's name: Hurley
• The moment you realize that now matter what you do someone will be unhappy is a liberating one.
• Given the condition of Ballys, the fact that I don't go there and still pay dues should be deductible as charity.
• You don't have it figured out, and don't think you do, because it only hurts more when you realize you don't.
• Run with actual pumpkins!
• Sonic Boom!
• Gyms should have a book of the month club. First month: New Rules of Lifting
• You know you've hit the big time when you have 2 stair wells leading between the same 2 floors
• We've been gifted so many candy dishes that even Willy Wonka would find it excessive.
• There's people that see it in me, and people that don't. I don't wait to be led/managed/mentored by people that don't.
• Because I choose to
• People shouldn't complain that married people get special treatment for the same reason I shouldn't complain handicapped people get special parking.
• Maybe the point of sports talk is that it's so benign. Politics and religion get people fired up, but maybe sports don't matter just enough.
• A dog? I'm not sure if I'm ready to have something in the house she loves more than me
• Writing a letter feels so 1930s...like after I should go to war or something.

Yeah, good thing I wrote down those gems, eh?
