When Bad turns good.

So, today i got up and headed to the gym.

I pulled out my ipod, somehow it had not charged and the battery was dead.

I attempted to turn on the TV, managed to turn someone else's off and abandoned that activity also.

I finally GOT ON the treadmill and found that i was on a treadmill that was convinced that the metric system was far superior and found I had to convert my weight to KG and my speed per mile to Kilometers and then of course convert my kilometerage into mileage. My brain hurt a bit.

And then.

A friend turned on my television (and even asked me what channel i would like)

A neighbor laughed with me about my math skills and conversion rates

I managed to NOT fall off the machine...

Sometimes it is the community that makes the experience so complete. It takes living outside of our individual bubble of music/noise/insular distraction to welcome that in.
