While waiting today at a red light, a shirtless jogger passed by in front of me, looking as if his legs, stomach and chest had been chiseled from granite and then bronzed. And as I waited for the light to go green, I thought to myself: "I used to look like that ..... well not really, but kinda sorta 🤣 well still not really, but I used to look semi-athletic ..... and I bet he won't be eating fish and chips a half hour from now like I will."
Yeah, "semi-athletic" is what I was thinking in that moment as this statue of a Greek god passed by my eyes. lol. I was never the perfectly tanned, made of stone type. But if properly clothed and disguised, I could hide the flaws and pull off looking fit and coordinated.
But those days have passed.
I was never too interested in the level of dedication to hard work and sacrifice that it would require for this sort of perfection.
I did once achieve, "bi-studly, super-jock" status in the eyes and estimation of this girl I once worked with for a few summers. I still have the note that she penned to prove it. 🤣🤣 And not "bi' in the usual sense but bi in the ability to go back and forth between occasionally semi-studly and the poetry-loving/caring/sensitive type. Anyway, I think that's what she meant.
