Why can I smell vanilla yogurt? It smells good. I want some vanilla yogurt… Anyway.
I’ve been rather bored lately with nothing to do… Yesterday I went to the library, read information about nutrients & minerals, and withdrew 3 books..even though I have 6 other books to read.. So yesterday I started reading one of my library books which is titled ‘The First...
Bob Dylan 1966 Playboy Interview
PLAYBOY: What made you decide to go the rock-'n'-roll route?
Bob Dylan: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wound up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and got a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?
PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock-'n'-roll singer?
Bob Dylan: No, that's how I got tuberculosis.
Long time effects of diet and lifestyle
An interesting article and video..It really demonstrates how our diet is really important in terms of losing weight, not just exercising hours on end.

nutritionista:
I’m SO EXCITED someone finally put all of these in writing, together. Burn these into your brain, people. Apparently CNN.com asked exercise physiologists, trainers, and nutritionists about their most hated exercise myths, and their answers? Are ON POINT.

Do you ever..?
Fill your head with music turned up LOUD, (usually with one song on repeat) in the hope of drowning out a certain occuring thought or feeling?
Yeah…That’s my therapy.

On Sunday I took part in a bicycle rally with my dad to promote the benefits of riding a bike. I really enjoyed it, and I will defiantly take part next year too. My Dad and I must have cycled 11 or 12 miles? Strangely my legs didn’t feel like jelly the next day. :) Its a good thing I’m active!
I stayed around Dan’s last night and we watched Independence Day and Mars Attacks....
Finally!
I had my second doctor’s appointment today, and I finally know what is wrong with my right hip. Fortunately with my Physical Education GCSE under my belt, I understood what my doctor what saying when she was explaining me the problem. Basically the synovial membrane (which lines the joint) in my hip is inflamed. It can take several weeks to a few months to heal, so no running as this could...

aliensinfomercialsandbacon:
The government thinks we’re a bunch of stupid people and treats us so. Of course, this dietary advice comes from the Department of Agriculture, not the Food and Drug Administration or the National Institute of Health. So it’s from a department in charge of agriculture, not health or nutrition. By the way, they spent 2 million dollars on this plate thing.

So the concert was great. I’m never disappointed when I...

This evening I’m going to see David Gray at the Royal Festival Hall with Jess and my Dad. This will be the…4th time I’ve seen him in concert? I’ve grown up listening to David Gray thanks to my parents.
As for my hip, I did make an appointment and what did the doctor say when I asked what it could be? “I’m not sure…” …Thanks. Thanks a lot Mr....
