Opposite ends of the Spectrum

I was at the gym the other night and it occurred to me the different worlds that can be perceived depending on which side of the headphones you are on.

From the inside of the headphones it's me chugging along to Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of..." I am Master of the Elliptical, an awesome dynamo getting stronger with every rotation, a locomotive burning calorie after calorie, a fitness machine maintaining the cardio heart rate, a thoroughbred drenched in sweat, an unstoppable force turning on the "afterburners," a true warrior charging into battle.

From the outside of the headphones, I'm just a fat guy wheezing and "farting."

Either way, I'm moving.
