So, I’ve been going to the gym pretty regularly lately and there is something bugging me there I really need to get off my chest. I change into my workout clothes at work just before I leave, mainly to extinguish any excuses I may conjure up while battling LA traffic on my way to the gym. When I finally arrive, I go inside to find the place pretty crowded. This however, does not bother me. What does bother me is the large number of people on any one of the many torture devices casually talking on their phone, or emailing/texting, or reading a book, having a conversation with their pal next to them. Here’s the thing, I don’t want to be there, I need to be there, so I don’t go to this place for a social engagement or to catch up on social media, I go to workout. I get it, we all lead very busy lives and sometimes they colide. Well, when they do, get off the machine someone else is waiting to use and go do your business someplace else! When I leave the place I can literally wring the sweat out of my shirt. Pushing that hard after a long day at the office is not easy, but it is the only way to get the results I want to achieve. So, if you are reading this, do me a favor and show a bit of courtesy. If you want to read your book, go to the library.

Jason – read your book, it was enjoyable. First book I’ve read by an author I know. Felt like I could hear you saying every word. You should do a book-on-tape rendition with your own voice, it would be cool. Maybe put it on a podcast or something through iTunes. I’d download it.
Its Joe C by the way. Hey this message is just for you so please don’t “approve” it and make it public. By the way I liked your pics of hustling your books on Venice Beach. Looks like a fun time.
Sharing a video for you to put a smile on your face. Its an unlisted YouTube video for a private purpose (trying to enter a contest on the sly) so I can’t have the link public. When you want to have some fun and a smile or two check it out Jason. Good to see what you’re up to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuGi0ol0WE

Your discipline meme pic must have gotten into my subconscious. Last night I got myself up out of bed and did something I had been putting off, and could have easily brushed off. I like your blog, look forward to reading more.

Hmmmm – I would speak to the managers about this – not that the kids who work there will do anything about it. The Y in Kissimmee had timers on the machines….LOVE the ending quote – will take it with me today!
