OS 31: OUT ON THE TOWN

HEY OUTSTAGRS!

ITS THAT TIME!!


TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!









As we gather ourselves on this Coronavirus pandemic as reported by the World Health Organization, let us remember that before this virus, there was the cold and flu virus as well as other trendy viruses that caused a stir such as SARS and H1N1. 

However, now that the virus has traveled to the U.S. and various cities, everyone is in a panic buying out all the hand sanitizers, face masks and disinfectant products for their relief of this health fright (dollar stores are definitely reaping the benefits).

Because of this pandemic, public events such as concerts and the NBA and schools are closing,  airplane flight travel  is being cancelled, people are self quarantining themselves at home and fists bumps are the prefence instead of shaking hands. 

We all know what should be done to protect yourself regards to the virus, but below are some alternate ways of enteratining yourself and others while we stay vigilant in this pandemic.....

1.Netflixing. As movie theaters will likely be taking a hit in this pandemic, streaming services will likely increase as people choose to watch movies or their favorite programs through  electronic devices. It can also be used if you are quarantined due to not just the Coronavirus but any flu like virus. 

2.Outside Activities . As the weather now is warming up, people are outside more. It seems as though outside activities may be more of a preference than inside activities  because of the virus living on surfaces. Use this time to go to the park, bicycling or sitting on a park bench and people watch or read a book. Maybe take a carriage ride through your downtown or  you and some friends taking one of those mobile bars pedaling along your city. Also, getting a good workout through jogging or makeshift gyms using public artifacts can be fun. 

3.Cooking At Home Instead of Going Out to Eat. Restaurants may take a hit as people may take precautions for dining inside so maybe a good alternative could be to go to a farmers market which is usually outside with a roof and pick out items to cook at home and enjoy each others company. Another idea is getting some fishing poles and fish some big mouth bass or catfish, scale them and cook them on the stove or in the oven.

AND

4.Water parks and swimming pools. Going to a spot where you can have water to splash your body can be excellent (If you have one in your backyrad, its even better!) Most of these public places are outside and can be a fun way of taking your mind off of things.







SAANG BITZ


As many may not know, the classic song, "Killing Me Softly" was written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel  and inspired and performed first by singer/songwriter Lori Leiberman in 1972. It is a great story song about someone telling your story and your relating to it with an emotional response. 

Below are three African American artists who recorded the song:



Roberta Flack 


The Fugees

Al B Sure!

   FIT TALEZ  



For this week's FIT TALEZ, we talk about people who stare at people when they are working out. I have noticed during my travels to various gyms over the years, I have noticed on occasion when people stare at people while they are trying to workout. Now, mind you, at the gym, one cant help but to see people while at the gym. And also its nothing wrong with looking at someone as they are working out to check out their technique of using the equipment. But then you have the eye creepers who stare....and stare....and stare and when you catch them staring they look off getting clocked for doing something that is extremely rude.

This has happened to me many of times and at times I want to go up to the eye creep and say, "Is there something that you would like to say to me. If not, I would appreciate that you dont stare at me."
(This is the G rated version of my response. LOL)

My public service announcement is please do not gawk at people while they are working out. It makes people uncomfortable and if you look off after getting caught, then you know that your intentions werent genuine, but to be just a gym creep.
