and I wonder...wah wah wah wah wonder...

Today I was doing cardio at the gym when I realized that I had forgot my headphones. All the machines at the gym have televisions on them and I usually watch ESPN while I workout or sometimes I read. I forgot how boring running on a treadmill is when you have nothing else to do. So there I was forced to workout for an hour with only my own brain to pass the time. Here is what I thought about:
I like it when people pronounce the "g" at the end of "i-n-g" words. So "running" is pronounced runninguh. There is a lady at the gym who talks like this and I like it. It's hard but I'm goinguh to try to remember to do it more often. Also I think it makes me sound more street and my cred isn't what it used to be...well as long as I can do it without sounding like Forrest Gump.
I've also been watching a lot of TV and I've noticed what I think to be an odd phenomena. Why is it that when two guys start a fight they always take off their shirts first. To me it seems like a strange choice of actions. If I were to be in a fight and the guy started taking off his shirt I'd probably punch him in the face while he was doing it. I think if you really want to intimidate the other guy you should take off your pants...that would confuse the hell out of them.
The rest of the time I spent watching a lady try to fit her SUV into a space marked "Compacts Only." First she tried just turning straight in narrowly missing the car on the side. She then backed up and went in at a better angle and was able to fit the car in there. The only problem was that there wasn't enough room for her to get out the door. So she backed out and turned around and tried backing into the spot. On the 3rd attempt she successfully backed into the spot to realize that she still wasn't going to be able to fit out her door. She then finally decided to park 3 spaces down in a regular sized space...obviously she was too lazy to walk the extra 15 feet, but it's a whole new kind of lazy when being lazy ends up being more work then just parking a little farther away. That being said guess who had the spot right next to the door? Me....
