So back to the gym I went tonight and I thought to myself – Let’s Jazz this place up a little bit. I got some new jogging pants and I was more than anxious to wear them. Tonight was going to be the big debut. After I did a bunch of errands around in town after work, off to the gym I go. Feeling a little nervous on just how ‘loud’ these pants are, but like the saying goes.. Go big or go home! Well, my thought was that let’s have a little fun while we’re here right? I mean everyone seems so serious and working so hard, let’s at least look like we’re having fun! OK, so I go into the locker room and change into the pants. Now there’s two young girls in the room and they take one look at me and then look at each other. It didn’t take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that they were pretty much speechless and at that point I’m thinking that maybe they shouldn’t say what’s really on their mind. Normally I would think that they are thinking to themselves – Man she’s really rock’n those pants. But honestly, I’m thinking they were more saying to themselves.. Oh my. Whatever right and who cares? So I put on my headphones and start running. I’m listening to some good old James Brown music and when he’s singing how can you care what others are thinking? But as I’m looking around the room, not one person in the whole complex had any other color pants on than black. Well, at first I thought, ‘holy crap’! I know that I’m new here and everything and maybe I broke some informal dress code. Then as the laps continued, I thought to myself – man they sure are missing out on something much more fun and totally more colorful! So in the words of James Brown “I feel good”!
So check out my – Not So Black – running pants and tell me that they don’t make you smile!
