Yes, I will be willing to join your cult!

Took my first two spin classes yesterday and today.....holy mutter bleepin shit! Being a bike commuter I felt, going in, that I should be able to handle whatever they throw at me with poise....if not ease. I thought, perhaps, I could teach this class. I expected athletic genius of myself.

nope. no poise no genius.

yikes, if you wish to see how unfit you are and/or how much your body can sweat in 60 minutes time try out a spin class. You will be sure to receive the ass-kicking you so richly deserve!

The spin room at BSAC is like an underground club too....in a back room, with no windows far removed from everything else. They kill the lights and blast the music, of course! Got some club/techno shit yesterday but today was heart pounding rock which included a great rendition of 'Who made who'. It was the right time and place for AC/DC and I'm thinking maybe it might be the only reason I survived!

ibeeon

...island time bra!

...and the livin' is easy! Dabee threw a show together in Cambridge last night and it became a randolphian reunion event thanks to the social networking power of the cult. Supertimes and a fabulous show indeed. Of course his originals were truly something special but his encore covers blew the roof off the mutterhucking hizza! Sang probably the best X-mas song I ever heard called 'River' and then got nuts with a rendition of 'Dick in a Box'. His homeboy from SF assisted on the uke and Jason led it off. I couldn't even stop loving it!!

After the show there were enough of us that I threw a spontaneous, impromptu Candlepin Tournament together at Boston Bowl. Boys vs. Girls. NTL killed everyone and his wife took the women's division. I sucked donkey kong but had a blast nevertheless. Dabee says we lost our mojo!

Ended the night at some cheesey chinese place that had this killer funk/soul band and the keyboardist was a ringer for Paul "Slappy Jo White" Barra!

Really ended the night @ Laura Ann's pad where she played DJ and everyone talked too loud. I had to cut myself off from the last night cap.

Such a soulful morning as I rose too early and waited too long for the 238 to swing me through the south shore time/space continuum. I'm under-slept and perfectly satisfied right now. Contentedness is a beautiful gift one couldn't fit under the pole.

It is it

I think this is it!

This might be the year!!!

perhaps I missed the boat

In fact I know I did! I should have studied to became a personal trainer. I'm having so much fun taking the various classes the gym has to offer (except Zumba....I was just hopelessly lost). I especially like the classes that absolutely kick your ass and I would love to be able to provide that service to others. It seems that two major components of being a great trainer include; knowing a large diversity of aerobic activities, and being a great DJ.

Unfortunately there is a lot more to it and I would have to go back to college. I'm reluctant to do that although CSUMB has a BS program in Human Performance and Wellness (and two kick ass disc golf courses on campus).

Fun fact: Starla apparently trained in Santa Cruz and worked here many years.

Senator Wondercrack's Auto Bailout Stimulation Package:

Yes Detroit, Mexico and multi-national affiliates.....you can have it all! I will authorize the full $34 billion. The whole enchilada is conditionally yours for the asking. The real question is, can you meet the terms?

1.) Instead of the money going directly to you GM/Ford/Chrysler or however you spell it, the full $34 billion will be distributed to any licensed American who wants to buy a new vehicle from you.

but

2.) Any vehicle purchased must meet mpg standards of no less than 60 miles per gallon on the highway.

3.) Each vehicle sold must be powered by a renewable energy source such as biodiesel, solar power, etc.

4.) The tires on each vehicle must be built to last the entire life of the vehicle.

5.) And finally, you need to work together to implement a cohesive action plan that will adress the repair of planet earth. The goal: patch your part of the ozone hole.

I know, these standards are stringent and lofty....most will claim even ridiculous! But then again how badly do you want that money?
