Both are being reissued later this month with the extra tracks, rarities, etc. Sell today, buy again in a few weeks. Yeah, I'm hardcore. :)

HAHA YES!!!

As far as the Y bit goes...when I was fitness training, January was a boom and so was May. The people who joined in May were usually looking for a last chance to save themselves before beach season. Some of them had bought sessions with me in January, but couldn't get themselves to actually COME TO THE GYM. After two phone calls, I didn't hassle. They'd show up around May and expect results that would have actually happened if they'd started in January. Like I told a lot of clients, "Don't waste my time, it won't be a waste of money." I hated when people would schedule a time and then not show up. Sure, I still got paid but I felt like I spent the hour there at 6 AM wasted. I'd have to sit around and wait for my next appointment...and that might sound cool at first but when you really want to train people, it really disappointed me how lazy humanity can be. I praise you for ( ... )

5AM is always such a bastard. I'm good at it but every time that alarm goes off I'm all, "You gotta be kidding."

I once heard a guy in the Y locker room one January morning say that he actually liked that new people joined early in the year because, even though they swelled the ranks for a little while, they'd thin out eventually but their membership fees would still subsidize improvements, etc., at the Y. I guess that's a glass half-full way of looking at it.

True enough.

On the other hand, I would imagine it would be an overcrowded pool that would be the most annoying place to be at the Y in January.

:laughs:

And I couldn't agree more. I am dreading going back to a full parking lot and painted up girls, posing in front of mirrors, taking up space. Space where I could be lifting weights or checking my own self out.

Oh, I just LOVE the people who get dolled up to work out. Cause, wow, that makes so much sense. Is nothing sacred? You're SUPPOSED to look like hell at the gym! :)

*nods*

I wear sweatpants,, t-shirt and a bandana to the gym. Plain and simple, but it gets me results, lol!

A sure sign that I'm a music fanatic is that when I read "The Surest Sign You're a Hockey Fanatic" I immediately thought of the group Hockey, and not the sport. doh.

I do know of that band. One of these days I will have to explore them a bit more thoroughly. :)

I am so hockey geekish I watch the draft. That's sad!
