And I always admit that I like the gym to sound like a gay disco. I bought one CD because it had a funny mashup of &#8220;Land of Confusion&#8221; by Genesis and &#8220;Upside Down&#8221; by Diana Ross. (I forget what&#8217;s it&#8217;s called, but it&#8217;s by Alcazar.) Today I heard another couple of songs I liked. Dave the Trainer said one of the songs is probably by Cher and I was chastised for liking a song by Cher. (Yeah, I&#8217;m not a big fan of Cher, either.) And there&#8217;s another one with a baseline that sounds like it&#8217;s from a George Michael song. It&#8217;s probably better that I don&#8217;t know what they are.<\/p>\n<p>There was a beautiful woman at the gym today who looked quite angry. Perhaps she was angry that I was looking at her, but I think she had that look on her face the whole time. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d ever want to go out with someone who starts out mad at me. If there&#8217;s one thing I know about my relationships, I know I can make women mad. I don&#8217;t need any natural tendency towards anger to help me in this matter. But I have friends, MARRIED friends, who say the ability to make a woman mad is half of what I need to make a successful long-term relationship. The other half is knowing that I&#8217;m always wrong.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another woman at the gym who looks sad all the time and the only thing I&#8217;ve ever said to her was, &#8220;Hey, look! It&#8217;s the Mars Face on TV!&#8221; She just ignored me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep buying cheesy CDs after hearing the songs at the gym.
