Going through life...

A person goes through life pretty much by the seat of their pants. If you sit back and think about it, there really isn't that much we can control. Large events seem to come and go as they please despite all logic, reason and planning. I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes I lie in bed thinking about some of these things. What if I get in a car accident tomorrow, what if my parents die, what if my bike breaks... etc. These are horrible things as well as other countless ones that sometimes I find myself thinking about in the wee hours of the morning. Just things you don't want to have to deal with; cancer, amputation, flesh-eating virus. Ok, maybe not all of you are as morbid as I am but anyways, I'm just trying to make a point. Everyone probably at some points thinks of things they don't want to happen to them. And to be more specific here for a second, does anyone ever think about stuff they don't want to see? I never want to see a father beat his child, or a man beat hs wife. I don't know what I'd do.. I sometimes think that I might stand there and not do anything, other times I think I would go and try to teach the man a lesson. But yeah, there are countless ones of these too, things I wish I never have to witness or see in my life. So now you are asking yourself... "where is he going with this.." and "what horrible thing did Dave witness that he never imagined seeing.." well I'm getting to that.

So I was at the gym, changing back into work clothes.. and out of no where this huge fat completely naked guy walks right in front of me. I'm seated at a bench putting my shoes on. So. yeah a little taken back. But I just sort of ignored him, I mean.. to each his own, though I'd rather they keep it to themselves. So I proceed to start to put my running shoes and clothes into my bag, getting ready to leave and as I turn to go, get this, the man is applying copious amounts of baby powder to his, well, sack. No other way to say it. And he was using something that looked like what a theather make-up artist would use to put make-up on, you know those big puffy things. I left, a little more dead on the inside then before. This was just one of those things that I never thought about at night... "man, I hope I never have to see a guy powder his scrotum" that just never even came to mind. Anyways, just thought I would share that with everyone.
