Steps and Ladders

Sunday, March 23;

A brilliant Easter Day! I'm sorry. I'm watching Atonement and the british vernacular is rubbing off on me. I figured I should hit the stairs since I won't be in teh blue room tomorrow. I also thought it was a little ironic... hitting the exorcist stairs on Easter Sunday. It's like a big F-you to the devil or something!

It was a wicked little workout. It made me think about the seven deadly sins and how much the stairs represents them. Not all of them, but a good amount.

Sloth: This one's pretty obvious. If you haven't been to the steps, a workout there consists of people either working out on the steps, taking pictures of the steps or those who make one go up the steps and consider that their workout for the day. If only everyone knew how good it feels to complete a killer workout!
Envy: Everyone wishes they knew what is was like to complete a killer workout.
Gluttony: Yes, people walk up the steps while smoking cigarettes. I guess that's better than those who refuse to go up the stairs all together.
Wrath: This is a sin of my own. I have to admit this workout is a great way to get rid of some anger.
Pride: This one's mine as well. How can I not be proud? What an accomplishment!
Lust: What can I say? Some hot guys do those stairs. Unfortunately, all of them were enjoying Easter eggs and ham today.

I couldn't really think of one for greed, but I figure 6 out of 7 is pretty good. Call me a sinner!
