...life altering experiences last night at the gym. So i'm lifting at this Cardio plus in Iowa which is not my usual gym. I only use it because on work travel all week so I get 3 day passes. Anyways, I get there last night and there's this I hate to say it, but let's just keep it simple and put it in layman's terms, there's a "retard" there. There was only him and one other guy there so I knew this was going to suck for me. So I walk over to the dumbell rack about to start my back workout and before I could look his way, he's already come up to me ranting and yelling about nothing in particular. I'm thinking to myself oh shit, now i'll never get my workout in with this klown bugging me. He comes up and starts talking to me and I quickly bust out the IPOD, but it's too late. He starts asking me questions and I kindly respond back to them with brief one sentences. He keeps asking me if I have a gf and stares at my body. rofl. I'm getting a little wierded out here. I just knew that he just had to be gay or just a very lonely individual. I than ask him if he has a gf and he tells me yes. ::SIGH OF RELIEF:: He tells me they're getting married soon. However it still doesn't prove anything. He could be lying for all I know and with his eye movement it's becoming clear to me he is... I tell him i'll hit him up later and slip on my headphones back on. He than gives me the "thumbs up" and goes over to the bench press and starts busting out 100pnd barbell reps while i'm doing one arm bent over rows. I'm like finally he's gone!, but I knew he would come back over so I try to never make eye contact with him. IT DOESN"T MATTER. He keeps coming over and bothering me. This time as i'm talking with him, I'm like FAWKKK, my workout is already shot so I might as well talk with the kid and make him happy. Now as i'm talking with him I realize that he's a pretty interesting feller. He told me he was 22, is in college, loves puzzy and loves to play the drums. He's looking to start a band and offers me to join within 10 minutes. ha ha. I try and kept my workout going while also talking with him, but it was getting harder and harder. I would do a set and than talk to him again. It was annoying at first, but than I realized that this kid a good person. He kindly offers to fill up my water bottle and we bullshit about lots of different things, basketball, women, music, etc. I than ask him if he has alot of friends and he tells me, JUST U and my gf. I'm like really? He's like yea. I don't need anyone else. Hearing that really made me feel good!. His name was Seth btw. So for the remainder of my workout he keeps following me and we continue to bullshit although every time we would talk he would stare me down and continue asking me if I had a gf. rofllll What kind of wierded me out is when I asked him if he's ever been pulled over by a cop because he told me he drives a Mustang S****e ::cough cough bullshit:: and he told me yes and that the cops harassed him and gave him 5 tickets one time. He than told me he had a gun in his car and that he sells drugs without a permit. I'm like wtf in my head!!!!! So I asked him if the cops found it and he's like, "nope". I'm like what do you sell and he says cigarettes and marijuana. Than i asked him if he sold steroids and he told me yes. I'm like what kind of shit do you have and he says, cigarettes. ROFLLLL. I keep forgetting that i'm talking to a mentally challenged person. :0icon_pis So on that note I told him I was going to go use the recumbent bike and he follows me. We both do a 20 minute workout and continue talking. The only thing I was afraid of is that he was going to follow me to my car or shoot me :2jk: so I told him I would see him tommorow at this time. It was around 10:00 at night and no one else was in the gym. I'll tell you this though. For the 45 min that turned into 2 long hours of my workout, I can tell you that it was a life altering experience for me. He was a good bruh and I felt bad for the kid. But hey, i'm considered his only other friend now. :) I'll take this experience over any one night stand i've had. I've come to realize that it's not always good to judge a book by it's cover in which I have done alot in the past. Sorry for the :rant:
I don't know about meeting him tonight for another 2 hours of entertainment although it sounds tempting... ;)
