I feel great

Most people, most of the time update most of their blogs, mostly about negative things. People complain a lot on blogs. They whine and they rant and they bitch. I am breaking the mould by posting for no reason other than to say how happy i am at the moment. Me myself and I just had a really great weekend. And i'm happy. That will be all :)

This is Mansfield

That will be all.

My new running shoes rock

I got my new trainers for my birthday.

They’re Adidas Gazelles and not only do they look great but they’re sooo comfy. I’m using them to go to the gym in which is something I’m going to do a lot more now.

See more progress on: buy a decent pair of running shoes

Cockroaches vs Slugs

In terms of survival; the cockroach is said to be able to withstand anything from being stood on, to a nuclear blast and the ensuing fallout. A slug, in contrast, is killed by a few sprinkles of good old sodium chloride. How on earth did this bizarre weakness evolve? A lethal susceptibility to such a common compound surely cannot be good for the species. Cockroaches take the lead, for now at least.

To the weekend that came and went

Goodbye weekend, i'll miss you. See you again in 5 days!

Euro 2008

As most of you know, Euro 2008 kicks off today. And of course most of you also know the England failed to qualify for the tournament.

While searching for a reason people might watch the tournament, the BBC have decided to encourage following another country by emblazoning the trailer for their coverage with the tagline "Who will you support?".

Perhaps it's this which has led to what seems to be a battle for supporting the biggest underdog.

Every person I talk to spouts off some semi-obscure country that they have "got money on" to win it, and then goes on to defend them when I answer with "Those guys? really??". It appears that the worse the country you lend your support to, and the more vehemently you call out "no they're really strong this year", then the cooler it makes you.

I mean think about it, have you heard many people saying they're betting on a team that might actually win it?

Personally I'm foregoing the pretentious desire to be seen as an amateur pundit and sticking with sensible teams to predict as winners,so here's what I reckon. World Champions Italy will certainly be looking to get the European title too. France are of course an extremely strong team, and we can't forget Germany after how well they surprised everyone in The World Cup (though course that could have been a host-nation fluke). Spain look set to do well too.

But that's just me and I know bugger all.

Somebody told me they were supporting Holland. Try The Netherlands, Holland doesn't exist as an entry in Euro 2008. Get a Geography lesson.

Beat it

Alien Ant Farm are much better at doing Michael Jackson covers than Fall Out Boy. And John Mayer just can't compete with EVH on the solo.

An ode to JonP

He plays guitar all day long,
and sits in on his playstation,
he doesn't look a thing like jesus,
but he does look like his sister.


Thanks, I'm here all week.
