This one grabbed me. Like there's a twisted image that wants to snap into my mind, but my mind just isn't sure what that image would actually be.

It also sounds like the name of some obscure experimental music band.

Or a rant against the apotheosis of gyms and fast food.

Or something.

>>> the last time I learned so much and felt like it was benefiting me so little <<<

Great summary of any process of growth/change.
