G.T.L.

Not that I watched the season premier of "Jersey Shore" last night, but sitting in the office here with the training staff listening to our favorite front desk girl, Mandy, giving us the 5 min rundown on what went down was mind-blowing, but really it wasn't that strange after all....

Mandy is a 22 year-old friendly, rambunctious, and talkative girl who LOVES Jersey Shore. Sometimes I even think she will somehow find her way on the show in a matter of weeks. Every time I walk into the fitness center, I hear a story of how late she stayed out, or how hard she partied with her friends, or what new club is opening up near the beach. Ahhhhh, youth......

At one point, Mandy was describing the characters to Jen, the fitness director, who apparently doesn't watch it at all, saying "You know Pauly D, he's the one with the hair (shaping his famous do' with her hands)", with Jen responding with a silent deer-in-the-headlights stare.

I then told the story of last night lounging around with my fiancée' Lauren, who struggled to know what the phrase "It's T-Shirt time" was, as it was plastered all over the Facebook pages last night. I somehow knew what it was, explained it to her, with her giving a classic response of "Well........that's pretty dumb."

Point is, our society has shifted. Its morals, its values, and who it deems as its' heroes. Well, at least some of our society.

Let's just say I have added respect for my fitness director just a tad bit more after this conversation in the office, and I love my fiancee even more than I did yesterday because of her ignorance towards "The Shore".

At least one of their clichéd phrases revolves a little bit around health and fitness: "G.T.L." = Gym.Tan.Laundry......

Finish With Action,
Bill
