All I want to do is start some sort of empire, is that so wrong as Harvey Feinstein might say? Others have gotten away with it with more dubious intent. I consider this proposition as I pull in the parking lot of my 24 hour fitness gym. I love my 24 hour fitness gym, it’s always there when I need it, but I must say some odd people frequent a 24 hour fitness center. People strung out and tired, people that prowl the long hours of the middle of the night are not always normal. I wake up at three every morning during the week and go down to my 24 hour fitness gym and work out. Sometimes I find people passed out in there, sometimes hardly anyone is there, which is why I go to a 24 hour fitness gym in the first place. I like to work out without being hassled. I like the openness From Alexander to Sam Walton... It looks like fun... I'd like to try it out for a bit... You know... shits & of it. I don’t like waiting for machines, and I like to think about things like building an empire while I work out. I mean, I don’t want to be like Caligula or George W. Bush or anything, don’t get me wrong, but I like power. There’s nothing wrong with it if it’s not misused.

See, my problem is that my brain has been left ajar for far too long. I like to think clearly while I work out, not get wrapped up in the downer of illusory thought. So my Empire would be a bit strange. You'd be aloud to think for yourself, because I wouldn’t want to surround myself with stupid people. I could have that as things are now. You'd be able to choose not to go to war or help pay for it if you didn't believe in it, and if you did you’d have to pay with your own blood. You'd be able to do whatever you want that didn't hurt another being on your own land, your own property would be yours, not subject to eminent domain, and no one could take it away from you once it was yours.

I can see the gangs of mobs forming in the streets now to protest. Not much of an empire I suppose, but it’d be mine and that’s how I’d want it. Politicians would have to be qualified for their jobs in some way, shape, or form, other than the fact that they could raise money to run for. My empire would be pretty screwed up, hope yours would be too. Maybe we can form a cult and overthrow the government sometime and make everyone be just and kind and workout late at night.

Maybe that’s not such a great idea though. If everyone worked out at night then coming to the 24 hour fitness gym, then it would be just like going to the spa in the daytime, which is what I come out at night to avoid. On second thought, all workouts except mine and some hand picked hot babes would have to be performed during the brightness of day. After all, there has got to be some sort of perk for you if you’re emperor, or why else take the job?

So as soon as I’m finished my nightly/daily work out, and I’m done with my swim and my hot tub, I guess I have to figure out how to create my own empire. Maybe I should pay some attention to that Bush cat. He does seem to have a way with accumulating power, all though he doesn’t have any clue what to do with it once he gets it. Maybe he should work out at night.
