While never in my entire life have I been compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone, I have been compared to another movie star: Gumby. Whether or not that was a compliment I don't think I'll ever know. But I guess they were right. I am not exactly Hercules.
I've done my fair share (or perhaps slightly less) of hard work in the gym. I got in pretty good shape, too! I was pressing 130 regularly. Don't laugh. I weighed less than that then. I was at one time able to do 50 sit-ups in one sitting before falling over in a dead faint.
But now I am a full-time student and full-time musician. It seems I have no more time for building up my arms or getting a six pack. The most exercise I get anymore is climbing up and down three flights of stairs three times a day, four days a week. It's riveting.
So my excuse is pretty good I think. But I have met several musicians and students who are really fit and have an equally busy schedule. They ruin my excuses. It's not fair. My only hope is that when I graduate, maybe I'll have more free time to go back to a gym.
What am I saying.... free time? Enough fairy tales. Let's all just live happily ever after, OK?
