Regular Exercise Looking Good?

-




The main reason why humanity goes to the gym is to appease the heart, which is extremely delicate. Doctors recommend regular exercise. Another reason for looking good, is to appease humans that live with us or we are hoping, they’ll live with us.

But the most satisfying reason is looking fabulous for you, which starts with dressing up. Shower done, now it’s time to put on clothes. The shirt slides in through arms with little ripples, nothing ostentatious like professional weightlifters’ rocks.

Doing buttons is one two three. Remember the time when you had to hold your breath to button up shirts? Zipping up pants is a piece of cake because there are no road blocks. Zips do just that, zip up.

Do you wear belts? Fastening them is no problem because there’s no hanging laundry around your waist. Women with no protruding waists look divine in dresses.

Talking about the waistline. Working out regularly is good for your mental health because you don’t have to worry about the stomach. You don’t buy an extra size to hide it.

The big shirt actually draws attention to the tummy, as in, what are you hiding under there? Another plus of a tamed tummy, is that you don’t walk around, hugging your handbag.

When you work out regularly, you leave the house feeling light, feeling great, looking fabulous. You owe the government and your sister money but it’s all under wraps. Nobody knows that.

On-lookers like what they see when you pound the pavement or enter a building. You ignore the silent appreciation because the world is complicated now. A smile might be interpreted as sexual harassment.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
