Planet Fitness & Endzone Burial Celebration

Last night I lifted a weight for the first time in about 8 months. Not that I need to work on my already Hercules figure or anything, but I figured I could use the exercise. So the other day I walked into a Planet Fitness near my house and signed up for $20 a month with benefits that include half off drinks, free use of massage chairs, ability to use my membership at all other Planet Fitness locations and my favorite, free tanning... ha. 

Well last night I walked into the gym around 9pm. I walked around a bit to see where everything was. A ton a treadmills, TVs, dumbbells but very little free weights. There were no bench presses other than the ones that help guide your movement up and down. Those machines are for yea well take a guess. Anyways, I wore some Nike sneakers, a pair of dress socks because I was too lazy to take them off after work, and a long sleeve Nike dri-fit. That's what I wore and here is what I forgot:

- Red Bandana

- Wife-Beater/Tank Top

- Diamond Earrings

- Gold Chain

- Du-Rag

- A Group of 5-7 Friends

- One Leg Rolled Up Sweatpants

- Backwards Fitted

- Hair Pick

- Inflatable Chest Pump

Oh and my Spanish Flag...

If you haven't already guessed or assumed, I was surrounded by, I'll just say non-whites. Not that I am racist one single bit, but I was the only white person in the entire gym. All two floors of this place, I was the only one. These people showed up in packs. 7 guys cycling through one pull-down machine all doin' their spanish chitter-chatter. It was almost awkward. I got the stares and the looks and the "Why don't he go back to Westchester" glares. I made it a short workout. My muscles haven't been strained like that in a very long time. It felt good and can't wait to get back in there. I will definitely reconsider the times I work out now. Kinda seemed like I had a huge "Hey I don't belong here" target on my back and forehead.

Today I read an article about a guy in the Canadian Football League who attempted a "Michael Jackson Tribute Celebration". This is what happened, guy catches touchdown pass, takes off his helmet, jersey, shoulder pads, sets them on ground then proceeds to lie on the ground, arms folded across his body. He was flagged for two sportsmanship penalties or whatever people call them these days and will most likely be fined. In my opinion I would have kicked him out of the game for stupidity. After the game this player said he was pretending to be "buried" to honor the death of Michael Jackson. HA... What a god damn clown.

Michael is probably all "ohhh what a sweet sweet child" or some other crazy thought but come on. This was no tribute to Michael. This was a display of "Hello everyone, I cannot dance so I'll pretend like I'm dead. Thanks Michael, your the best!" If your gonna do an endzone celebration as a tribute to MJ, then do the moonwalk or one of his crazy arm and leg flings then grab your crouch. Don't pretend to be buried you imbecile.

Until next time...
