Oh you don't know how fucking great I am... You just don't know...
I work out every day. Even when I'm lying down and being still, the tick-tock machinery of my body is working to the orders of an insane old Russian woman ballet teacher-cum-gymnastics coach-cum-Stalinistic torture expert. I breathe to the rhythm of the glowing pulsing neon red blood-pumping, oxygen bubbles streaming, deepest rivers of super biological life. Veins are my art etchings.
Outside the gym I wear Euro-trash chic clothes like 'People Of The Labyrinth' from Holland. I have earphones on almost all the time and they block out the noise of the senseless madness of the unschooled world. I am a god but you don't know me. You don't see me. Most people can't see me. I live a secret double life.
That dumb-bell curl -- hell it's gonna hurt. That next dumb-bell curl, is gonna hurt. Ouch. Oh argh! It fucking blazes in my biceps and when I shift my arm straight back, locked out, the triceps yell back at me! 'What the fuck are you doing?!'
I stop and the angry bulldogs go back into their kennels and lie down. And eventually calm down.
If I ever unleash my angry pitbull dogs, the energy is frightening. Fiercesomely frightening.
The music gets to that part of 'Mainline' by 4 Strings where everything is phazing and the pounding electric syn-koto and heavy zen-tao drums have charged your brain with their melted iron and furnace lava sounds and your consciousness is beyond the earthly natural -- a kind of a dream-trauma hypnotic place where you're going to throw up tears through your eyes because of the joy and the suffering.
Next... Lords of Acid/The Most Wonderful Girl. Sharon Stone intones: "I'm fucking beautiful. I'm the prettiest thing I've ever seen. God I love myself. I'm sexy/ I'm gorgeous/ I'm wonderful/ I'm beautiful/ I wanna touch myself!/ I wanna touch myself/ I'm touching myself/ God I love myself."
But you don't understand. This is not selfishness or ego. This is a celebration and a consecration and a truth. ...You have to hear the driving, driving, hard determined driving of the synthesizer accelerator soundzzzzzzz. Going along with the conspiracy of the words... The music and the machine believes it too, it believes in the truth of it all, and it supports the claim. "I got a great body. I love my body, Yeah!
"I wanna touch myself! I wanna touch myself! God I love myself!
"I am the ultimate seduction; I'm gonna feel myself.
"I wanna touch myself" -- the voice goes up into a frenzied high-pitched whine.
"I'm gonna touch myself!
"I'm sexy. I'm beautiful. I'm gorgeous.
"So love me."
Oh god. I have to stop. I take off my earphones. I smell my fingers. They smell of hot wet girl's cunt. And sweat. Clean sweat. And durty gurl cunt.
Next song. Power Station: 'Some like It Hot.'
"Fe-ee-el the heat...! Pushing you to decide. Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on. Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on. Some like it hot but you can't tell how hot till you tr-i-iy. Some like it hot so let's turn up the heat till we fry."

Richard Marx. Kenny Gee's jazz saxophone. Cool sax. Cooling down now. Everything's cooling down now.
"I remember every moment of those endless summer nights..."
That guy in the high-end business suit in the shop down the road is a real turn-on. You know the kind. The one that will thrill you every time you sneak a look at him. You don't even know why this one makes you freaky, sends shivers up and down your spine and down in your gut. Well okay he's tall. Maybe too tall for you in the normal run of things; people don't expect that you would or should be with someone like him.
He stands front-on to people when he talks to them. Stoops down a little when that stupid bi-curious chick from high school comes into his shop and asks for whatever trash comic filled with trashy drawings of Scarlett Johansson's Avenger character is just the very latest one out. They were making the comic character pics actually look like Johansson these days. Forget whatever the Black Widow originally looked like to begin with. Well, okay. Fair enough. That's how things were. It was the biz. No biz no money no jobs. No jobs no food no gym money no -- anything.
Unitards. No underwear underneath. Hot and sweaty beneath the camera lights. That's what she said in the interview. Bright girl. Sold a lot of movie tickets. Or else it was some cynical studio producer and/or screenwriter who came up with that little spin pitch to E!
She wasn't too tall herself, Scarlett Johansson.
Not a real hard musclegirl, though. Not really. Not for real for real.
God but they really made it look for a few screen seconds as if these chicks did have hard bodies in Hollywood though. The big successes along those lines: Debi Mazar as Spice in Batman Forever; Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. You even took away the impression they had guns, these girls, after you saw their movies. You could swear Mazar was chunky. Clever clever. All the side-on, waist-twist poses. Hands on hips or fists on hips. Upper arm slave clasps over the biceps... Great stage makeup too. Great great makeup. All very clever.
Of course Elizabeth Shue really did have guns! She was about the closest thing to the real deal. Typical floor gymnast build. Also a bit on the short side. Thick, chunky build. Actually is a gymnast in rl. Oh well. A little reality there in Hollywood then.
