CLUB MED

I went early to the YMCA to swim, too crowded as usual, but the worst thing, the lifeguard is playing CLUB MUSIC. First of all, I don't want to hear ANY music while I'm exercising (unless it's my own, via headphones, but you know, you can't do that in a pool!). But I ESPECIALLY don't want to hear club music, with it's thumping, over-prevalent, mechanical base and soulless doodling.

I didn't put on a gold chain and half a bottle of aftershave and slip the doorman $100, I'm at the YMCA! There are no topless dancers and strobe lights, this is a pool! I'm not snorting coke off some silicone tits and pounding double Four Horsemen, I just want to swim some healthy laps! I didn't start the morning with Ecstasy and I'm not slipping GHB into some 16-year-old's drink, I'm wearing a swim cap for god's sake! I'm not trying to snap pictures of wasted celebrities for my other blog, I'm just trying to swim some quiet fucking laps here!
