Is this year over yet?

I am back. I really do not have much to say today, but that will not stop me from writing. I do have a story, it may not be a funny one, but you get what you pay for, right? How is that for a seasonal message (damn, I have been taken by the PC police and dare not mention the word "Christmas" for fear of offending the non-Christians, of which I am one, damn Pagans)?

I go to work out yesterday. I have nothing better to do and I have to try to remove all the alcohol from my system that built up over the weekend, so I can load up again, by the way. I get down to the gym only to see Stinky Guy on his usual machine. This time I am not willing to give up my use of said machine like I did last week. I finished my weights and started just as he was about done. He did not seem to smell as ripe yesterday as the week before, that is all I know. Perhaps, his full out bathing night occurred during the week.

There was no outstanding odor issues but I saw something rather disturbing. I was in the shower when Stinky Guy entered. Funny how innocent it is when I am there, naked, yet how tawdry and gay it sounds when I write about it, but that is too bad. I watch, notice, study, really how Stinky goes about washing himself.

I felt like Kramer, only I was naked doing my thing. I figure it takes me at least ten minutes to wash my body, hair and face. I do not judge others by that as I figure that I am slow (but thorough or is that Thoreau, hahaha), I mean it always takes me a long time to get ready for basketball (put on and tie up my shoes) and was worse when I played hockey, especially when I played goalie. Still, the dude beat me as he was in after me and out well before me. I do have this to say to him, "Dude, it helps if you actually lather up. I mean getting soap on your hands, putting the soapy hands under the spray and then rubbing your legs just does not cut it! Again, I am speaking by somebody who had the misfortune of being downwind from you. It is nothing personal but you need some schooling in proper washing. No wonder you were done so quickly, how could the soap "take" to you when you did not give it time to work its magic. That is of course, "magic" for those of us who have to share the same enclosed air space as you. I would say think about it, but really do it!"

If I recall anything of note from the weekend, I will get into it tomorrow. Ciao!
