Carnality and Culture.................??

So, I started going to the gym again. I love it... makes me feel healthy or something. It was my second day and I was feeling good about my choice to join this gym. It's a fairly well known gym out here in Ottawa... and I was finishing my workout and heading back to my locker in the locker room... Hmmm... for some reason, I couldn't locate my locker. I thought I may have been in the wrong row or something, but I saw the #35 and I went to open it, and yep, it surely was mine. BUT, no lock was on it! I had locked my locker and it looked as if someone had entred my locker without my permission.... hmmm go figure. SO, I continued to search my locker to see if anything had been taken and everything I had placed in there was completely out of place... my shirt was up when it was supposed to be down... my wallet was out of my pocket when it was supposed to be in... and MY MONEY! My money was GONE... all $150 or so of it. I know, I know, I'm dumb for keeping that kind of money in my wallet, but come on... my locker was LOCKED! With a lock with a key... Anyway, I don't know... I was seriously (and still am) cheezed over the incident. Honestly, let me not ever walk in on someone trying to take my stuff like that again... or I shall pop a vein! And it wont be mine!

OH.......

And another thing about this gym that kind of perturbs me... The showers. It's a HUGE club shower. Maybe I'm being weird about this, but for some reason I don't feel comfortable being naked beside some stranger in a shower. I mean, am I being a little weird about this? Should this not bother me? Should I feel good about letting everything hang out in public? Uh, and these old men all walking around naked in the locker room.. I just thought that more people had more.... umm... what's the word I'm looking for..... class? no, that's not it.... dignity? no.... ummm..... well, anyway... whatever. It's just weird to me... and I think that I'd rather go home sweaty and take a shower there.... They don't call it "PRIVATE PARTS" for nothing!

So, now, I've got this year membership there, (Which is great overall) but so far my gym experience hasn't been that great.
