does anybody remember back when you were very young, did you ever think that you would be this blessed...

as i walk into the chinook building i see some of my friends favorite flowers.  it reminds me of them and makes me smile.  daisies (hi erin!), giant sunflowers that tower over my head (i love you char!), and elegant callalilies (hey jared).  then i get in the building and there is no natural light or windows or anything.  ugh.  counting the seconds until 3:30...

at the gym yesterday, i saw the captain.  my mom and i jokingly nicknamed him the captian because the first time we saw him (hes kinda hard to notice.. built really big with a huge dopey smile on his face the whole time... lifts lots of weight and seems to know his shit around the gym) he was wearing a captain morgan shirt that said "got a little captain in you?"  so he is the little captain, or just the captain for short.  anyways.  he usually wears athletic shorts, these white high-top sneakers and socks, and a beater.. carries around a gallon of water and wears a baseball cap.  i looked up from the elliptical yesterday and thought i saw the captain, but it was actually a clone of the captain.  shorter, younger, not as built, but athletic shorts, beater, gallon of water, baseball cap, white sneakers.  when i looked around, there were about 5 clones of the captain.  and the captian himself seem oblivious of this blatent flattery.  all the captain clones would occasionally look over to the captain where he was joking with the gym's supervisor or benching or sipping some of his gallon of water... and the looks on their faces... they were like moses waiting for the 10 comandments.. waiting for the captain to notice them and help them out. maybe spot them or give them some advice.  these 17 to 19yr old boys desperate to get a hello or a head nod from the beefy 27yr old.  it was hillarious.  i couldnt help but chuckle.  guys can be insecure too...  and theyre worse at hiding it!
