I thought that the only attire needed for going to the gym are shorts, a t-shirt, and proper shoes. No more. Apparently I need to have white headphones in my ears listening to some rapper talking about the struggle. “Ya! A little bit of Lil Wayne on the elliptical will do the trick to tighten my ass!” Then you got those guys that brought their protein shake that they made at home. It’s always the people that really don’t need any more protein on their 20-pound biceps drinking that stuff.
The one thing that I won’t understand is why huge macho men, who are probably not too in tune with their sensitive side bring a diary to the gym. They could be bringing a notepad to record how many reps they are doing in each exercise, but I’m pretty sure they just need to express themselves on paper instead.
I have a feeling this is what a body builder would write in his journal entry:

Dear Dairy, today is October 13, 2009 and I’m working on my chest and triceps. The dumbbells are heavy, and I am experiencing the feeling of fatigue. The protein powder that I made for myself is delicious, but is too thick for me to swallow. If only I did not put that extra piece of banana, and four spoons of peanut butter. With all the pain I am feeling, there is one friend on my side. A tool that shuffles its way to my ears. My green nano ipod. Like a good mother, it always knows what mood I’m in. I don’t feel fabulous, but I feel Fabolous, and the only things I want to do right now is lift this 45 pound dumbbell for my triceps and just throw it in the bag.
