Omar the gym rat. That's what they call me. I'm all about fitness and pumping irons. I honestly only go to the gym to compensate my super unhealthy lifestyle of corndog/pastrami sandwiches and beer whisky stuff. And I realize they call me gym rat simply because I'm always searching for cheese when I'm at the gym.
Just like the airport or the mall, the gym is a great place to people judge. I mean people watch. It's a great place to watch people and judge them. I spend on average 5 to 6 hours in the gym a week. (Whenever someone says that they mean 3 to 4) I've grown very close to these people. I've never spoken to these people. But they are the center of my visual attention for my entire workout and what I do inbetween finding gym cheese.
Lets paint a picture of Omar going to the gym. It starts out with signing in. I always provide a witty and funny hello to the cute young girl/boy hybrid that Portland seems to produce. One time, it wasn't a hybrid. Just a cute girl. As we smiled and I joked about most likely weight lifting related punny humor...I handed her my keys that have my membership card attached for her to scan. As I reached, our hands touched. It would have been a normal event, except for the fact that a foreign body that was hitching a ride on my right hand departed from my hand and attached onto hers. Embarrassed? Not really...just was trying to figure out what could have been sticky, blue and red, booger shaped and traveling on my body. The best part is that she held her smile, but you could see the hate in her eyes and the corner of her lips eventually started to drop. She held eye contact with me as I could see her try and fling these patriotic themed sticky boogers off. It was when I entered the locker room when I realized what it was. Leftovers from my pre-workout snack....fruit gushers.
Enter the locker room. The mens locker room. Because I'm a man. But not as much of man as these savage 90 year olds. They make a point of showing you that gravity is a law...not a theory. Definitely a thing. They look like walking and talking Salvador Dali paintings. I'm a scared young rat kid walking through a funhouse maze of mirrors with these confident old farts. I'm looking forward to this when I get old. The gross part is that they're always wet. Not sure why? Combination of sweat, shower water, and what I assume is Brut after-shave. The grosser part is I ALWAYS step in this cocktail of old man body fluid with my socks on. This is probably why I have Atheletes Foot and arthritis in me toes. Shit is contagious.
Jk my feet are hot.
Now it's time to workout. I don't know how to workout unless I stop by the drug man that sells powders that taste like Bubba Yum gum mixed with Duracell battery explosion. I go with the well known preworkout drink, NO-Explode! I think it has exclamation points in the name as well as the ingredients. So from what I gather from the effects of this wonder, is that you will literally explode out your asshole. That brings us to the next part of my gym journey...back to the locker room to the bathrooms. Here you will hear a row of grown men singing demonic operas in harmony straight from their poop makers. I, my friends, am the fecalsetto. This portion of the workout really activates the core. And the GI tract.
Upon completion of this workout, I measure the weight this NO-Explode made me lose. I hate exercising.
Fin. Tune in next time to learn more about the varying Gym personalities. We have Inspector Gadget/Tom Selleck hybrid dude...black Tiger Woods...the blind couple...and many more!
