Disturbed

Disturbance #1
As I was "studying" this weekend and required background noise I flipped through the channels. First I found the cheerleading championships and that depressed me. Little did I know that I was going to stumble across the Ms. Olympia contest. Now this competition really disturbed me. For one, female bodybuilders were prancing on the stage to about a 60 to 90 second montage and displaying their "athleticism." I thought about the contrast between the two competitions and while I find them both disturbing I found the bodybuilder competition more disturbing. I didn't understand why these muscular women felt the need to subject themselves to a unnatural performance. The next performance involved another music montage except this time the more "muscular" ladies used the montage as time to flex their muscles . . . I am still slightly disturbed by how much of the show I actually watched.

Disturbance #2
So this isn't so much of a disturbance but more of an annoyance. Why when waiting for an elevator does nobody assume that people would be getting off the elevator? It never fails every time I wait to step on the elevator some arrogant soul feels the need to make that step towards the elevator before anyone can step off? It isn't as if the elevator will take off faster if he/she is on it. There always is the possibility that it may fill up but I disregard this as an option considering most people adhere to elevator etiquette and let those before them board first.


Interesting to note that spell check wanted to replace cheerleaders with charlatans - ponder
