Discovery

It started innocently enough. I was going to work out, and I needed a funny gif to mark the occasion.

But nothing is ever simple

I’d found something wonderful. My mind raced with potential origin stories for this work of art…

Perhaps it was an obscure Eastern European workout video series, serving as the cornerstone for a massive underground community of aspiring Baltic fuckboys.

Maybe it was Cobra Starship’s fabled lost music video that was good and not bad.

Perhaps this was the promo video for the 1989 Tang National Grand Prix of Aerobics, the lesser-known competitor to the Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship.

The Good Times

For a while, like a toddler playing with a hand grenade, I continued to hold this power in my hands, not being aware of where it came from or what mysterious origins it had. I enjoyed the power that fate had so recklessly thrust upon me.
