A documentary about teenage body builders was on TV last night. They are 18 or 19 year old boys who wanted to pursuit a career in professional body building.
Like most other ambitious kids, there is one common problem with these kids as well - they don’t know how to lose. While they strive to become winners by heavy training and dieting for a few months at a time, they turned out to be nothing more than losers. Steroids was the main problem which turn them into bunch of bad tempered sadists.
Every caring questions by other family members were taken as either hostile threads or “dumb” questions. Questions like “What are you bring for food?”, “40lbs OF POTATOES! IN MY SUITCASE!”. “Are you going to take that 40lbs of potatoes across the state border in your suitcase and while there seems to be some sort of law preventing large amount of agricultural products being transfer to different states privately?”. Answers from the body building kid then were just “WATCH ME!…WATCH ME!…WATCH ME!…”. “Are you sure other body builders are bringing the same over and not buying when they get there” - “OH! I AM NOT EVEN GONNA TALK TO YOU!”
Yeah, let’s watch how you get trapped at the border crossing and screw up your plans to become a winner.
And when they announced the one that came in third, you could just see his face was all tensed up and shaking his head not agreeing with the judges’ call that his body was in fact miles behind the winner’s and the runner-up’s.
While the girlfriend had been very supportive, she was getting yelled at all the time, treated like slaves during the guys training, and the girlfriend was pretty fed up with the boyfriend’s change of temper to the worse, right after he came in second, she was there hugging him, comforting him with a smile and telling him in front of the camera that he is still young and has many many years ahead of him still for improvements.
Hey girl, are you sure you wanted to smile for that many many years of bad temper to come?
While you are at it building your bodies, boys, build some brains and characters as well.
