Marriage Advice Over the Gym Counter (Part 1) – Mad Chaos: January 22, 1999

A Few Lines on Time

My last entry was cut short because I took a break and then I had some other business to do and before I knew it Keith came over. Yes I had to stop but the good news is that I’ve been through the most hectic days and now I can relax somewhat with Wednesday and Thursday. Some more good news is that I seem to have claimed some of my flair back in poetry. Don’t count this as one of the greater poems of my life’s workings because it is lacking some knowledgeable ideas but just read and enjoy my workings…

Time’s ink does wrinkle yon parchment called flesh,

And paints ceding brow with age’s color,

And time’s stanch elements are kings at best,

For loyal they rule over skin’s valor,

And shall thrive time’s breath by his kingly sway,

Where, I to time’s rule shall wither away,

Squeezing in Wednesday

Now to talk about Wednesday and the chronology that took place there. The way I figure it I have at least an hour or two at most to explain the two days starting from Wednesday. This is because I want to get to sleep a little earlier tonight as I have to wake up around midday if I want to head out to Miranda with Shawn to see Janice Chan and Chris Tucker. So for that I have to be speedy in explaining my day, well here we go…

Wednesday for me probably happened to start around 2:00 p.m. that’s the usual time these days. When I finally did wake up I had myself something to eat, my shower and probably watched television, some tennis maybe. Anyway, I can’t remember much more than my workout for Wednesday and then the phone calls later in the night not to mention everyone coming over so let’s firstly explain my Gym details.

Back and Triceps Day

Back: Beginning with a two minute warm-up on the bike I moved for some more warming up on Neutral Grip Lat Pulldowns. Once that was complete with some stretching I increased the weight to 150 pounds and for my first set completed 12 reps. Moving now to Close Grip Lat Pulldowns with 160 pounds I began tightly and firmly to complete 10 hard reps. Taking the weight down to 140 pounds I completed some more reps.

Moving now to Reverse Grip Lat Pulldowns I placed the weight up to 160 pounds and with that completed 12 reps. Trying some Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns with 130 pounds I didn’t want to move them to the back too much but I done some to the front and back for 10 reps. Moving now to upright rows with 50 pounds I completed 15 reps for myself. Moving to Seated Cable Curls with 150 pounds I managed myself 12 reps losing grip once but maintaining grip on these heavier sets much better.

Trying some Incline Rows on the machine I couldn’t get the hang of it so I walked over to T-Bar Rows and with 100 pounds pounded out 10 reps. One Arm Dumbbell Rows was next and with 80 pounds within the grasp of my arms I managed 12 reps per side. Lastly I made my way to do some Dumbbell Shoulder Presses and with 40 pounds each hand I completed 10 reps.

Triceps: Starting with a warm-up on Triceps Pushdown I quickly raised the weight to 80 pounds and after a pause for rest I completed 12 reps. Moving to Triceps Kickbacks with 10 pounds I concentrated on form where I pounded out 15 reps. Moving now to Lying Triceps Cable Extensions with 65 pounds I just managed to complete 12 reps. The last of my exercises was Overhead Dumbbell Extensions and with 60 pounds I completed 10 reps.

Abdominals: Once again the machine was taken but not for long. In the meantime I performed 30 reps of Low Ab Crunches where almost all of them were from side to side for the obliques. Jumping onto Machine Ab Crunches with 40 pounds resistance I performed 30 reps with some to the side. Moving back down to Low Ab Crunches I completed 20 more reps. One last time I jumped onto Machine Ab Crunches and with 40 pounds I completed 20 more reps.

Zubin Gives Me a Lecture

Now, once my workout was finished I headed back home to have my usual carbohydrate complex meal. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I had a chat with Zubin before heading into the Gym today. I was paying at the counter where he was talking to that girl I think is called Velda whom I used to like from behind the counter. Next thing I know she’s talking to Miroslav with the red charade and then she’s snobbing me off each time I walk in only giving me just enough attention to have me pay.

Zubin started talking to me about getting married and how I should wait until I’m at least 30, build up some money, have a secure life and then take the plunge. I was just standing there trying to be tasteful with a smile on my face almost as put on as Velda’s attitude towards me (If that is her name).

She tried jumping in saying “You get married at 24 if you want to” pointing towards me and as Zubin began to move downstairs so did I. This was our first real conversation and not that it really means anything it’s a good thing. I usually don’t act my normal self when I’m either at work and am work buddies with someone or in circumstances where I usually don’t chat. This was one of those circumstances and although I didn’t know what to say I handled myself well.

Lyssa Skips College

Time kept creeping as soon as I got home from the Gym and as it came close to 8:00 p.m. I remembered thinking that Lyssa was probably learning at College now. Lyssa informed me that because of her inevitable failure at College she is going to do whatever she can to pass and that means heading out after work on Wednesdays.

Lyssa ended up giving me a phone call around 8:30 p.m. and being the first phone call of the day to each other I thought we would have something to chat about. After a couple of minutes chatting on the phone I asked Lyssa how her day was at College. “Oh, I didn’t go to College” Lyssa uttered. That confused me as to why Lyssa didn’t go to College and didn’t call earlier in the day but she answered my query.

Lyssa Heads Home Sick

For most of the day at work Lyssa was feeling sick because of the peeing problem she has and in the last couple of hours it really hit her hard. Because of that Lyssa had to get home earlier than usual and so she left at 4:00 p.m. Now, I feel that there was another element to Lyssa’s heading home early and I believe it has to do with her being sick for one, her being lazy for another and her wanting to head home with Penelope for a third.

As far as I know Penelope ends work around 4:00 p.m. because Lyssa informed me how she met up with Penelope and they both walked down Pitt St. to see Marilyn Manson parading around like a Satanist. I just feel that Lyssa wanted some company upon coming home and on top of that she probably didn’t want to do the DX, she loathes DX.

Kidney Worries and Doctors

Before leaving work Lyssa phoned her mum who was also at work and telling her of her pain she too left work early. So the both of them got home and then the both of them headed down to the doctors to see what the problem was. Lyssa started to alarm me when she informed me that she has had kidney problems since she was young. But, after Lyssa explained to me that having problems with your kidneys isn’t that fatal I was alright with it. Basically, Lyssa has had a peeing problem for quite a while and it started when Lyssa and I started to have sex.

What Lyssa feels it is as well as the doctors is my constantly pushing against something when I am inside Lyssa and I push too far, that being her kidney. Now it didn’t start with me because Lyssa has had the same symptoms for quite a while now, she can’t pee. Lyssa never goes to the toilet and when she rarely does only droplets come from within, not puddles like I do. Therefore, her kidney is holding in a lot of water and Lyssa’s body doesn’t tell her when she needs to go or how bad she needs to go.

Because of that Lyssa could procure problems like a bloated stomach to her kidney bursting or ceasing to work. The doctors want to scan her and they want to fill her body up with a fluid that they can see to test how much Lyssa is urinating. Basically, the kidneys let out all the urine stored in them when you head to the toilet and the doctors just want to see if Lyssa holds any of that still in her kidneys and if there is a problem within that.

Every time I prod Lyssa accidentally and hurt her down there she immediately feels like she has to pee and that could just be me triggering her senses. It’s like me hitting a television for reception and when it’s finally there it goes fuzzy again. That’s what happens when I prod Lyssa, when she heads to the toilet to satisfy her necessity to pee it only comes out in droplets. There have been plenty of times where Lyssa has just peed and peed and peed but that’s usually when she’s drunk and she has just come home from Chevy’s or something.

Tanning Plans and Nintendo Plans

That peeing problem and a couple of other little things like the Janice Chan and Chris Tucker day was all we talked about. Lyssa wanted to get her arms or legs tanned so I let her get that done but in that time I received a call from Shawn. Both him and Tatton wanted to come over and they were intent on bringing over the Nintendo with John Madden Football 97.

Agreeing for them to come over I called Lyssa back and for a couple of minutes we held conversation as I gave her the word. “Oh, can I come over” she said as I made her jealous of the Nintendo that she so loves. I kept denying her with sarcasm and she kept saying “You could just invite me because you know I won’t be able to come” so I did invite her just for the fun of inviting her. She couldn’t come as we planned in our sarcasm.
