sore

Jun 10, 2004 16:13

Today, i went to the gym. my school has a physical trainer who has designed specific programs for each of us. i go monday, tuesday, thursday, and friday and work out. anyway, my arms hurt from tuesday (tuesdays are arm days) and today we did legs. my legs feel like jello from seven a.m. this morning, but what is worse is the pain i have in my butt, from the lunges. i enjoy the workout as well as the effects it is having (apart from the soreness)

my mom is getting a new car, FINALLY!! the van is going to die.
speaking of cars: it really is beyond me how complex our world is. for instance, while driving the 40 minutes it takes to get to the gym i began to think; through this thinking, i considered how amazing it is that all the cars on the road work together, through the traffic in one direction. they stay together, and for those brief minutes before they turn off in pursuit of their destination, they form a bond; they are a group of people in communion with each other. this is interesting also because at any moment, they could choose to make a movement that could easily take out at least two other cars. in this way the driver of any car holds the lives of the other drivers in his hands. and yet, they form a bond. you cannot deny that there is some kind of relationship between drivers on the road, even if this is one of flying birds and profanities. what truly gets me about the whole ordeal is how this bond can be made time and time again. and how it is broken the same number of times. its probably a stupid thing to wonder at, but wonder at it i will. (pretend you understand me)

i cant really get the words out of my head about what i am thinking, but it is kind of similar to another thing that i baffles me. and that is how you can put together a bunch of metal parts and they run, such as a car. so, not only do you have a bunch of metal pieces that make a person move in their chosen direction, but you have many people in many metal pieces traveling together, without knowing each other; they are completely different people going to completely different places(maybe) and yet, for that brief moment they encounter each other on the road. the part that i find sad about that is that this encounter is only a brief one, and all that could be received from this person is, in a sense, forfeited. unless by some odd chance you are to meet them again.
