Do you exercise? How?

Do you exercise? How? “Yo baby I know your feet must be tired cause you've been running through my mind ALL DAY! Come here girl!" The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air It begins and ends with the mind… while this question I believe delves more towards the physical aspect; I would like to begin with the strongest aspect of myself which is the mind. Meditation and yoga to be precise, the former brings about great focus and while I am simply a beginner of the latter with its physical format, it to lends strength to the mind. My mind can be a very peaceful place, I hear words such as nirvana or enlightenment but it is in the darkness, the silence, which the monsters are kept at bay. However I find myself becoming such a beast, so I feel no need to scream, or roar, I can always find something or someone to do the screaming. Pretty girls run and angels fly but where to inside my own head; let the boys have their spank banks this gentleman houses beauties in a dungeon of the mind. Strange that such a thought sets the mind free “I don't think that a person should run unless he's being chased.” The Faculty Now you can take one look at me and tell how much of my high school career went and so it was I took up running, though I’m more of a walker most days. I found the stories of Shaka Zulu quite fascinating, especially his training of the new Zulu army so I have hiked here or there without shoes just for the feel of the ground. Given the fact I also have a Chihuahua, one must be fairly quick to keep up; all these things and more help to improve stamina, a continual pursuit for a moment in my life that may never come to pass. I’ve never been one for camping but I have been hiking by myself quite few times and a rather depressing story, when I was young I went for a walk but in truth had no place to go and at the end my father beat my ass for running away when again I had no place to go so I passed by the house quite a few times. “Uh, sleep night. I mean, obviously, good night. I started to say sleep tight, then I changed my mind in the middle. I swear to God, I’m smart.” The Big Bang Theory - The Plimpton Stimulation As far as going to gyms, I have one concern and one excuse, the concern of course being my aversion to people; while I normally have no body issues given the fact I am who I am, it is only the preconceived notions e.g<b>. overweight </font></b>people go to lose weight, skinny people go to gain muscle. My excuse is my job but not in the way you might think, for the most part I am a Freight Associate or simply put a truck unloader, so when I’m lifting microwaves, coffee makers, piles of books and the like for a few hours, somehow going to the gym seems asinine. I do believe in keeping healthy… but I would never be one to go vegetarian or vegan, though I have nothing against people who prescribe to such theories. Actually seeing as I abhor hunting animals, at least in the slightest possibility given the gun enthusiast the animals being hunted have a chance and yet I see nothing wrong with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp etc. When science creates a meat and seafood substitute, I’ll be waiting. Mind over matter and so I look back to the mind as in the pursuit of knowledge, no wonder my heart is so often broken, more time learning about love then actually being in love. Even when fictional heroines die I still have good memories, when my heart is broken I get knocked right back to rock bottom, but I digress. My mind is my greatest work out, I read all I can, I study characters, I want to know everything I can, and when my mind is not in the dark, there is imagination, creativity, I write stories, poetry, even this is a study on who I am. I’ve heard the way to a woman’s heart is laughter… let it not be said I have no sense of humor but I have never been one for the minimalism effort of a laugh fest or blasé love story, make me laugh, make me love, thrill me, terrify me, in truth I want it all in a movie. While I normally don’t understand art isn’t the point to seek such meaning? |
