My face is stuck in a cheshire grin
I met an English girl
She's like the toast of my whole world
We hit the gas just in order to get away
Ooh ooh ooh
And then we dance all through the whole night
We'll storm the beaches
Head to Mexico
We'll cruise the streets all night
And catch a rock and roll show
We have to do this just in order to get away

Gym Nudity 10:03 PM
So, recently I have been dabbling in the local gym, the gym culture [as well as the physical exertion involved] was one of the many things that have kept me away from the gym over my 24 years of life. My new gym claims to be absent of the lunkheads that roam for 'tail' at most mainstream gyms, and even has a 'Lunk Alarm' to signal when someone is judging someone else, or generally being a douchebag. I have never seen it go off, but oh how I want to see someone get called out some day.
What I have noticed at this gym is an overwhelming number of gay men making up the male population. I write this at the risk of appearing homophobic, but I can tell who's gay and who's not by the way they stare and your (my) girly little arms. That, and the few people I know there are gay, and spend quite amount of time on the 'massage chairs' simply watching the other guys work out. Actually, I've never seen my friends work out, they just sort of hover and ogle.
Now, I do not know if this is related (and this is where the homophobia probably kicks in), but there is a quality about the men's locker room that makes men think it's acceptable to simply be naked. Now, when I get dressed in the morning, I spend about 0 to 1% of my time completely naked, and when it happens it's usually an accident due to being hungover or trying to put a shirt on where pants are supposed to go. Very few of these sweaty dudes shower at the gym, they seem to prefer to go home first and do their dirty work. So why, when standing in front of their locker is it: 1. shoes, 2. socks, 3. shorts, 4. underwear, 5. shirt followed by minutes, MINUTES of standing there naked?
I guess I would understand if most of these guys resembled Michaelangelo's David...or Ron Jeremy for that matter. But these are just normal guys, 'hanging out,' naked. Is it because they're gay and hoping for some action? I actually don't think so. They're not hot. It just makes me uncomfortable when I'm flanked by two completely nude guys folding their socks.
What are your thoughts? My next entry will be me opining about urinal etiquette. Stay tuned.

Projectile Vomit? 7:01 PM
The phrasing of this term has been bothering me for the past few days. What does it actually mean to have projectile vomit? Is there some sort of intent involved? Is there some sort of distance or momentum requirement? I ask these questions because I've noticed over the past few flu seasons that the word "vomit" is without fail associated with the word projectile. I assume that this is used to garner sympathy from those that said vomit is being described to.
Yes, I am sympathetic to the preacher in The Exorcist, that pea soup was DEFINITELY projectile and hit the mark. Or, take this Classy Reporter, this could also probably be described as projectile, but I'm mostly sympathetic that almost 2 million people have viewed this travesty.
But I posit that non-projectile vomit deserves far more sympathy than the projectile species. How exactly does one have vomit without any sort of projection? Well, certainly any images that you conjure in your head are likely to cause you to [projectile] vomit.
