Single? What's WRONG With Him?
It's like they have a picture in their mind of me sitting at home every night in my underwear, in a room lit by candles, eating meatloaf flavoured ice-cream from a paper plate, with my pet rat Eugene on my shoulder, my feet in one of those foot spas, a little 'Enya' playing in the background and some strategically placed cushions with images of my ex-girlfriends embroidered on them, lying around the room.

Great Body. Pity About The Rest.
Having spent twenty five years owning and running gyms and helping people create their best body has taught me many (many, many) lessons and reinforced many pre-existing beliefs. Lessons that some people desperately need to learn.
As I stand there in my fat body, looking at my broken car, with the words of my angry boss ringing in my ear, I wonder what became of the young enthusiastic man with the dreams, the plans and the talent.

They even justify their unpleasant disposition.... "You wouldn't understand adversity if it hit you on the head... back in my day.."
I was sitting at the lights lost in my own thoughts when all of a sudden I became aware of a presence... no, not a poltergeist; a bloke on a mountain bike had pulled up along side me. Three feet away. Coulda touched him. Game face on... waiting for the green signal. Like an Olympian waiting for the starters gun. Focused. Committed. And dressed atrociously.
A modern Zombie; going through 'the motions' of life. You've seen it; people who seem to have their 'life-force' drained out of them. Maybe at times you are that 'people'. Er, person. Simulated living... looks like living, but isn't.
