i think my nipples are uneven…

see, here’s the problem. i write this page. i edit this page. i never actually READ this page. it’s true. so, i kinda forgot i was supposed to stretch at the gym. i NEVER stretch. i forgot i was supposed to go light. i NEVER go light. so i decided to see how far i could go, exercise wise.

the world gym downtown is going through “renovations”. what that means for now is the men’s locker room is gone. not inconvenient. not under construction. gone. as in “not there”. so, you can’t change at the gym. i would guesstimate that about 78% of the membership of world gym downtown is male. and gay. VERY gay. so, when the place they could lounge in next to nothing (or less) and socialize (i.e. the locker room) was taken away, they left. all the better for us…the few…the proud…the one’s that are there to work out..but we have to change at the office. no big benefit to me, otherwise. see, i’m not “pretty”. don’t get me wrong, i’m FAR from unattractive, but i’m by no means pretty. add to that that when i work out, i’m sweaty. and grunting. and my hairs only half pulled back. doing anything for you? if so, please see the “give till it hurts” side bar item. for the average gay guy, it does ABSOLUTELY nothing…which is a good thing. not that i have a problem with gay men, you understand. in fact, i LOVE bi women (what real man doesn’t?) but the way i look at homosexuality is the same way i view christianity or vegetarianism. you have your views, i have mine. just don’t try to make me head your way, and we’re all good. let’s move on…

so today, which was GORGEOUS outside, had me walking to the gym, in the aforementioned abercrombie khaki shorts, and a wife beater. judging off the looks (and two honks) i got on the way down, apparently this thuggish look works on me. so, i get there, and it’s monday. which means upper body. start with the bench.

ten reps, 155 pounds. no problems. no back issues. eight reps, 205 pounds. again, no issues. so, i move on. six reps, 255 pounds. again, no issues. till rep numero six. and NOT because of my back. see, mid-set, my left pec moved itself OUT of the wife beater. but not the WHOLE pec. just the nipple. which is pierced (as they both are). so, on the sixth rep, as the bar came down, i heard that “clink” of metal on metal. as in barbell to barbell. plus, the bar in a gym is COLD. now, if i touched ice to YOUR nipple, could you still push your body weight and then some away? (if you’re reading this at work, and female, probably best NOT to picture me touching ice to your nipple, huh? for what it’s worth, it’s a nice visual for me…or maybe candle wax? again, let’s move on…)

so, i managed through rep six, with no issues. then on to curls, tricep press, behind the neck press…ALL at full weight. with no issues. so far, so good. but why does the left nipple ALWAYS pop out? i swear, i HAVE t be uneven…but at least my back feels good. figured i’d let y’all know, since IF you go through with your donations, i ALWAYS reciprocate. it’s the least i can do…after all, with me being pierced, you might chip a tooth or two…so if you’re willing to take that risk JUST to help my creativity, i might as well return the favor. plus, i’ ENJOY it (tongue is pierced, too, ya know…and with good reason) and from what i’ve been told, i’m pretty good at it. okay, NOW i feel warm..
