Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun
What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half awake
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I'll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd you see me right
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd we'll sing it right

Elbow - One Day Like This
The Mad Methods
Described as "Unconvetional fitness" www.mymadmethods.com is arguably the best site I've been linked to in months.
Having recently struggled to motivate myself to go to the gym with other stuff that has been going on, I had started to feel like all the early effort was completely wasted, so I decided on Thursday night i would get up early and go to the gym Friday morning, Obviously i set my alarm for 8am, it went off, I pressed snooze several times before going back to sleep until 11.
Not the ideal start to the day I had planned, when i eventually did wake I checked the usual social networking sites to find a friend had posted a video from the "My Mad Methods" site entitled "No Equipment, No Excuse" and was a short excerice program for home using your entire body weight.
After semi-completing the program I questioned myself as to how I got out of the habbit of going to the gym? As i love that aching feeling you instantly feel and how much better about myself I feel. With such a busy weekend planned I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to the gym but today being Monday a new start (read that as re-start) is upon me and I will be at the gym before football tonight.

The Past Was Your's But The Futures Mine
5 Days since a post, not as good at all this as I had perhaps hoped to be. Even worse its been the same 5 days since I was in the gym and I have returned to all my old habits of lazing around the house watching films and only leaving to go to a pub or bar with the boys for a few beers. With no motivation towards life and I’ve been feeling like the “Old me” the person I don’t want to be anymore.
Today I woke up knowing I was always going to have a good day, Work followed by seeing “Kids In Glass Houses” & my good friends in “Save Your Breath” (Both great bands worth listening too) at Rock City, The question was what do I do tomorrow??
As normal when I got out of bed this morning the first thing I did was put on iTunes and click on the first artist, push the shuffle button and click next, the first song to play was The Stone Roses – She Bangs The Drums and I have always loved that band/song and one part stuck out more than usual today and its a big middle finger to the “old me”

So to answer the earlier question, tomorrow I will be going to the gym at the crack of dawn, ringing the “Becoming a Teacher” helpline to find out where my best route into teaching special needs starts, I will be going out tomorrow night and drinking tap water and won’t be touching alcohol until the new year (He says hopefully)Kiss me where the sun don’t shine
The past was yours
But the future’s mine
You’re all out of time

Crush Of The Day #8
Always my faveourite in Friends and Horrible Bosses left me twitching in my seat.
Dying In New Brunswick
You told me on your birthday all the things that this place had done to you.
And in the streets you walk.
You hide your face because they don't believe that it's true.
They say it doesn't happen that often.
But it's happening right now.
I'm writing you this letter to let you know I'm not alright.
And in this city the streets are paved with hate
And you cry yourself to sleep tonight.
And say "no, there aren't enough love songs in the sky."
You counted down the days till you could say "Bye-bye, city, bye-bye"
You're walking down on Union
You see the roads and know they're apart of you.
They say it doesn't happen that often
But it's happening right now.
I'm writing you a second time.
To let you know nothing here has changed.
The streets are still paved with hate.
So you can cry yourself to sleep tonight.
Will you look back on this night
As the day that ruined your life.
Will you look back on these city streets and say,
"Oh, God, where are you?"
In these city streets I hide my face.
I turn away when you look at me
And every night when I try and sleep.
I feel your hands all over my body.
You stripped away the street signs and shot out all the stop lights.
If you smashed away all the building what would you have left?
Thursday will always be one of my all time faveourite bands

A 5 Mile Walk Around Nottingham
Having spent the past 72 hours pondering how to keep my Grandmother and her friend entertained whilst they were up too visit, I think I passed all tests with flying colours today.
Be a vibrant 23 year old male living in the city most of my spare time is spent either in the gym (as you know) or socialising with friends, pubs, clubs, casinos etc etc... for some reason I didn't think that would be the idea of fun for these 2 wonderful 65 year olds.
So with much deliberation I planned a walk not quite as long as the one I ended up on but it was a nice day and this is what we did.
Started along the Trent past the war memorial where I learnt my 2nd latin phrase "Vivit Post Funera Virtus" (Virtue outlives death) to the world famous "Trent Bridge Inn" to get some lunch before heading along the canal into town, up into Lace Market where they loved the stunning "St Mary's Church" and the Pitcher & Piano build into another old church.
We walked down through the town towards the castle, and checked out the awesome views from the cafe on the "upper bailey" (picked up some history lingo today as well) before heading up to the Ropewalk caves and back down to enjoy a cider at Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem
It was a wonderful day ended on a high with a fantastic meal in "Zizzi's" 6 hours after we started out, When I got home I was so intrigued as to the distance we walked so with thanks to www.walkjogrun.com I calculated our route and here it is.
The funny thing looking at the route is that it estimates a 2 and a half hour walk, which took us 6 with all the sightseeing, and the best part of it all I burnt nearly 700 calories doing it.

We Stand Alone Together
Another night, another 3am, another blog.
After telling myself i wouldn’t be playing monday night football as much anymore, what did I find myself doing tonight? Yes you guessed it, Relentless effort on the pitch in the heat and humidty of this odd October weather. If you say you dont believe in global warming, you are in denial.
The games at “power league” are 50 minutes long, 25 each way with rolling subs every 5 minutes, maximum of 7 players, 5 players on the pitch at anyone time… Obviously.
Somehow tonight we managed to be 3-0 down inside 5 mins, which is near enough impossible, and even more unlikely when you are absolutly dominating the game and can’t comprehend how the other team has scored 3 goals when you have been literally camped in there half, Very frustrating.
Obviously the might “Dagobah” dug in, and came back to win 10-3, 45 minutes without conceding, by far our best ever defensive effort and at 3-3 I took my turn as sub for 5 minutes and all i could think of was “Currahee” the first episode of “Band Of Brothers” and how in some pathetic way in my mind i saw tonight as our own little mentality war and we won every battle on that pitch.
By far our greatest ever comeback and one of our best ever performances left me feeling so pumped tonight that I can’t wait to hit the gym in a few hours time.

I Miss You
Something totally different tonight, this sums up everything.
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in backround of the morgue
The unsespecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we’ll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we’ll wish this never ends
We’ll wish this never end
Where are you and I’m so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight
Blink 182 – I Miss YouDon’t waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head
I miss you miss you

Crush Of The Day #5
Josh Holloway
Another ultimate hunk, this time from possibly my faveourite tv show, Lost.
Sawyer was a bad-ass-butt-kicking-son-of-a-gun and probably my faveourite charecter from the program.

Making The Ultimate Sacrifices For A Man
Today I made 2 decisions which i’m certain I will hate myself for within the next 72 hours.
Firstly due to time restraints I’ve had to relief myself of captain duties of our monday night football team and now won’t be playing as often as i would like as i’m trying to save up money to go travelling and as I play on 2 other nights of the week monday is a night I could be working and earning and saving myself £10 a week.
Secondly after being inspired by Joy Laurene’s “Keeping Fit Now” (http://joylaurene.wordpress.com/) and realising how much time I waste playing video games when i could be in the gym or out running or even god forbid spending more time at work earning, I’m going to trade in all my xbox games tomorrow, Some I haven’t played in months and others will undoubtedly be missed, but with christmas coming up i’m certain FIFA 12 will be in the draw come January and in reality…. that’s all i need.
So as of tomorrow I will hopefully be changing my lifestyle a little bit more and sitting around on my backside less. Starting over, starting fresh.
