Fun story. I got hella depression and I thought: "Man, exercise makes me feel a lot better. Me not wanting to get swole is probably just sour grapes. If I put in the work for a few months, I'll have that bulk and not want to lose it. Then all I have to do is maintain the routine."
So then I did that. Hour running everyday on the treadmill, pushups, pullups, weights, the whole lot. Then after three months of this I had, like, biceps. And calves like steel. And abs. Woo! And I was like... yeah this is what I was going for. High five, me.
Then I looked in the mirror, and went... I don't actually care. It's still not something I care about now that I have it. I don't like myself more, this doesn't do anything for my self esteem, I was already fit, and it isn't applicable to anything I do in my day-to-day. I would rather spend the time I've been spending exercising on studying harder.
It wasn't wasted effort. I needed to do it to know it wasn't something I wanted. But doing exercise takes a ton of work and time that Marten's already avoiding putting into the band he actually wants, not muscle he's simply jealous of.
Cornelius:
That reminds me, they're short a drummer. All in favour of Bubbles trying out?
hedgie:
But would a drum machine really fit their sound?
Cornelius:
I don't know; it'd be interesting to see Bubbles express herself artistically. Though perhaps a different medium.
cybersmurf:
I just re-read today's comic. Not once does Marten say "your fears are unfounded". It's all "I don't care, mom loves you anyway, and anyone who'll be disappointed is an idiot and will have to deal with consequences. Except you."
