in NGE speak:
allah moved from mecca (harlem [we’ll include all of manhattan here, though]) to medina [brooklyn].

110 is not unhealthy. if its muscle, thats pretty much all you need. there’s people in other parts of the world who are much thinner than here and they do all sorts of physical activity. you might not be a hit on the beach, according to standards here, but you’re not likely to have heart disease, you won’t have diabetes, and you’ll be plenty strong
the hajj does from mecca _to_ medina and not the other way around?

Baudrillard on jogging:
Nothing evokes the end of the world more than a man running straight ahead on a beach, swathed in the sounds of his walkman, cocooned in the solitary sacrifice of his energy, indifferent even to ctastophes since he expects destruction to come only as the fuit of his own efforts, from exhausting the energy of a body that has in his own eyes becomes useless.
yeah, and no WAY is the “ideal” weight for a 5’10” man 110 lbs. call it 130-140. 110 lbs is unhealthy skinny.

ok is it bourgie if i am couch surfing? also p.s. i have to take back what i said about central park–totally discovered the central park dance skaters on sunday, danced with them in the middle of my jog, and got invited to a party–that has not yet happened in prospect park.
