| No Blessing
I would like to think I am a rather honorable man. I don't disrespect and say my "please" and "thank you"'s.
So at the gym the other night, I was doing my cardio routine. I decided to do the stairclimber to mix it up a little bit since my knee still didn't feel 100%.  I put in a good hour on the stairs and a lot can happen in that time. I finally found my charger for my MP3 player and I use it to avoid the local drama. I put it on and ignore everything around me. I usually space out when I work out so I was not really paying attention. Next thing I know, a girl in leggings start to run in front of me.
At first, I didn't think about it really, then she kept turning around while running and looking at me. WTH? So I look around and see there are several other treadmills she could have picked but CHOOSE to run in the one in front of me. Oh man! Let's face it, I would have to be gay not to look at a girl in leggings running in front of me. That's why peripheral vision is a great thing. I don't stare, I merely glimpse, and often. Kidding. lol. But seriously, how can I not look?
So then I finally get a look at the face on one of her stares back to me. OMG. I know her! (I'm telling you, its hard to escape this small town!) It happens to be my friend's little sister! Well, she isn't so little now! She is two years younger than me so its not a pedophile moment, ok. I haven't seen her in ages. I stopped hanging out with him because he was more whitewashed than I was. Hard to believe, I know, but he liked being the only token asian guy in the group. hahaha. But he's cool people, just been too busy to call him lately.
Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts.
Like I said, I'm pretty respectful and don't encroach on people's sisters/cousins/ex gf/friends/etc. If I don't get the blessing, I ignore the girl. It sounds rather extreme, I know, Aaron the personable guy I am, ignoring people. Its absurd, but its the only way I can be respectful to my friend. I ran into several occasions where I would be friendly Aaron and these girls would, um, yeah. So to avoid losing more guy friends, I made this ignore policy. And it is tough when they start the conversations.
She then went on the stairclimber next to me. Oh man, we are going to talk. I know it. She looks at me for like a good ten akward seconds with one of those, "Don't I know you" looks so I finally just said, "Hey! Aren't you ____'s sister?" The perfect opening line because I know people always hate it when you refer to them as someone's sister. lol. We exchanged some small chat, told her to tell her brother I said hi, and that was it. Luckily my hour was up and I left.
If this gym wasn't so close to my house, I would total not go here.
This weekend, I'm headed to Virginia Beach with the family. Our family and my mom's friend's family rented out a beachhouse there for the weekend. Should be fun! Bringing my bike, I just don't know which one. My Triathlon Bike, my road bike, my mountain bike or my beach cruiser. I feel like a woman with her shoes. lol.

A-ron - I can only do the stairclimber for 30minutes & after that, I look like I just got out of the shower! Anyway, I'll be in VA too, so maybe we can meet up if we are near each other :o) Otherwise, enjoy the weekend!
