Exercise and Books. (#2,#7)

Two things I rarely use!
*laugh-reel*


Well, let's get this thing started!
*Applause*

Wait, this isn't a TV-show.

Whoops.

Alright, so for this week's double-safari, the first thing I did is head on down and look up some information on the gym. The hours vary by day. On Mondays-Thursdays, the hours are 7am-10pm. Friday is 7am-8pm, Saturday is 9:30am-4:30pm, and Sunday is 2pm-7pm. It is normally $60 for a semester, but it seems after October 17, the price is reduced to $35. 

There are ~20 various exercise machines, free weights, and a locker room complete with showers! 

I think I'm glad I'm a commuter with a personal shower and the ability to walk on my own. That's enough of a workout for me anyway. 

         The day I join the gym, this will be my attire each day.

Now, onto important reading. From ENG 112, an excerpt from the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey is part of the course packet for this class. I wanted to read more of the book, but I figure skimming through it will be the same effect. 

Let's find this book!

Well, don't worry, I found it eventually.

Well, I skimmed through it, and reread the segment from class. It's an informative, and inspirational book that has many different phrases and definitions that expand the '7 habits'. Among this, ideas of taking initiative and being proactive are encouraged in one area. Flipping through I also see the phrase "emotional bank account". Sounds heavy. It wasn't very hard to find, and seems like it actually had a lot of useful information for anybody in need of a pick-me-up.

SCSU ADVENTURE! STARRING ME.

Are you ready to go on a relevant and interesting adventure involving the lovely Southern Connecticut State University?

Well let's go back in time then, to about three days ago:

Say Louie, what are you doing?

Well that's gross.

Say, what's that in that there computer-gizmo?

OH BOY, A TALENT SHOW! THINK OF ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN DO!

So then I went down to the local multicultural center, to get an application to be in the show. Or form, whatever. Either way, I wasn't sure whether I'd try to sing in public, do stand-up, or apply for the 'Mystery Host' they mentioned. I feel like I could use this to branch out, or make a name for myself as a mystery commuter.

So, how did this go you ask?

Surprisingly well! They seemed excited to have me, and I was polite and hopefully seemingly nice!

Now, time to enter it, right? Let's see some things here-

Wait,what?

"NO profanity or vulgar lyrics in any vocal performance or dance music. This is a family show!!!"

You didn't sign up for this! Oh well, you'll still sing or something, right? You can do CLEAN jokes!

What? That's silly. Why wouldn't you?

Alright, so I'll break the comic flow to show that this, in fact, what went through my head as I decided to never go back to audition. Life is, and always be confusing, and with college starting I've been in a bit of a rut. 

However, today, that's changed.

Today, I've learned to forget about having fears of rejection or not being instantly liked. I just need to love me, dammit, and then anyone else who is pretty neat or important.

So now the world is my talent show, and I'm the 'mystery host'. That was really dumb and cliche but it sounded nicer in my head so I'm keeping it there. I'm finally going through a change, and shockingly it's thanks to Southern. Now I begin slightly-anew.

Interesting things...

What can I find interesting for everyone? I mean, I already had power issues/lacked the ability to find out that we had another blog to do for Monday...and I'm terribly sorry for that.

Well, I can't find or think of anything that isn't something stupid I've drawn, so I'll start with that:

Haha! It's a zombie complaining about life.
Irony.
Or something.

Anyway, have this video that caught my eye a while back:

SUPER-WARNING:

HE USES BAD WORDS.

A LOT OF THEM.

I AM SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS YOU ALSO.

It's entitled "It's Only Sexist When Men Do It", and it provides a startling realization about double standards we hold today.I must point out I don't agree with his methods, as they are made somewhat harsh and blunt for the sake of a persona he plays on a youtube channel, but still provides interesting information. However, I found myself agreeing with him by the end of the video, and began to think of any double standards I might be holding against people. I found out I did, and whoops, guess I'm a bad person.

But wait

What if

Double Standards aren't bad?

I have no real answer for that, just food for thought.

Also, if any of this didn't settle with you, here's a corgi puppy learning to go down stairs for the first time.

Simply adorable.
