mother nature hitting back

i was reading over on http://hadpunk.wordpress.com/ about the end of the world, i have often thought lately about things like this is mother nature telling us to slow down i dont think a war will be the end of the world i think mother nature will wipe us out

just look at whats happening weather wise round the world look at oz land how bad there rains have been look at the big earthquake in new zeland and now japan how much more is mother nature going to put on us, i think all this global warming is happening much quicker then the scientists 1st thoguht just look at the amount of cars on the road i never thought the traffic would be this bad there are many familys in brittan who own more than one car now

just look at the other eve the amount of traffic on the road at 10pm was amazing just a busy as 12pm lunchtime and for sunday once a nice quite day can now be just one of the busyest days on the road, i hope in the next 12 months with the price of petrol road tax and insurance it will price many people off the roadand make for a quiter life, but i suppose people will stop doing stuff like going to the pub or having meals out to save money for there car but i think the next 12 months will be very intresting finance wise for many people

if prices of living ie food petrol bills for the house somethings going to break as if i lived by myself i more than likely hardly go to the pub or i would most probly give my car up, oh well enough of me rambling on have a goodun and stay safe

fitness and motivation

in my last post i mentioned i would add more about my fitness and motivation, the last 2 months has seen my motivation realy rise and ive been the fittest and lightest ive ever been for a long time, and even running 5k 3 times a week which i never thought i'd do my weight stands at 13st 10lbs iv notbeen that since i was in my early 20's and my uncontroling sweating has become a lot better,

i still need to sort my sleeping as that is still hit and miss but i suppose that is part of life but when iam on the morning shift which i have to get up at half 4 in the morning just having 4 hours sleep a night isnt very good at all, one of the things iam a bit dissapointed with is my cycling ive not been doing that much as iam still a bit lazy but with the petrol prices iam making a big effort to get back on me bike as its only 20 mins to work so iam being silly realy ill get there

2 things ive got planned for this year for my fitness is a 5k run end of march and see how i go a half marathon in september and a cycle to skeggness and the half marathonwill be the big ones i think for this year think the cycle to skeggy will be middle of the year that will be a 80 mile ride iam hoping to do that in 10 hours yup you heard me right i think its quite a realistic time and for my 5k run time i would like to run it in 25 minuets which again i think is a realistic time

on the whole 2011 looks a good year to finish my weight loss program and get myself to the full fitness i once was when i was in my early 20's iam going to lose another 3 quarters of a stone and see how i look as i think once ive got down to 13 stone i should look okay only time will tell

anyway time for a cuppa and stay safe you lot

busyish week ahead

well what a cold start to the week i wasnt expecting it to be -2c this morning when i got up i was feeling a bit wired friday morning waking up to the news about japan, because i was talking to me mate thursday about how we going to have a supermoon these next few days

that is when the moon is closest to the earth the last time the moon was so close was 12 years ago i think but dont quote me and this time its just over 200,00 miles away from the earth, iam was feeling a bit wired fri and sat cos on thursday i was talking to me mate in how i think this super moon will give us some crazy weather either a earth quake or tsunami and what happens japan gose and have both, i was feeling quite starange

i dont think ive suddenly got perdicting powers it was me just being me and speaking my mind about whats going to happen with the weather and expecting the worse to be honest i thoguht we would have some high winds and some snow but nothing like whats happened in japan

anyway this week looks set to be a busy one iam upping my training cos my 5K run is fast aproching 27th of march its going to be tight if iam going to do the run in my expected time of 25 minuets as ive been a bit lazy last 2 weeks but the next 2 iam going to push myself and go for it my training will involve cycling and more running and rowing if i keep to my plan i should be okay just hope my motivation keeps up as iam quite looking forward to my run as ill have proved a bit point to myself and friends thati can do a run

as over the las 14 months ive achieved quite a lot in my personal fittness and life style cut the drinking down doing okayish with the junk food not had a kebab since last august which iam amazed myself realy as people who know me knew how many i used to have i still have a pizza or fish and chips now and again but thats about it these days, i dont seem to have the cravings for junk food like i once did iam goign to write more about this in a later post but in all iam quite happy with my progress maybe i could of done the whole weight loss thing quicker but least this way iam doign things i still can enjoy some of the food i like

also this week iam off to the pics and catch up on a few films theres a few i want to watch and with me being on mornings this week think its the best time to catch up, one i would like ot see is iam number 4 and battle los angeles and a few more as well, with films lately iam watching quite a few some have been good and some bad think iam going to make a film review posting once a week as iam watching so many films at the mo think it be a good idea

right iam off to get some breakfast as me belly is growling at me and you lot stay safe

owning a car

cars are getting a expensive thing to own these days with petrol prices getting to 1.40 a litre car insurance and road tax keep going up the other eveing i filled my car half up and it cost me 35 quid to i worked it out that to fill my car up to the rimm could cost me just over 70 quid what a shocker,

i also got my car tax reminder yesterday and thats 205 quid the last 2 years its gone up 30 quid, also this year my car insurance went up 100 quid to 440 a year so to run my car this year along with a mot and service in april its goign to cost me just short of 900 quid a lot of money realy to say iam 35 my insurance should be much cheaper

when i first oned my 1st car when i was 25 a litre of petrol was 73 pence i went mad when it went upto 75 pence a litre lol but i never thought owning a car has gotten this much out of controll, reading the papers recently petrol could go upto 2 quid a litre if and when it happens i realy will have to rethink owning a car,

it would be a sad day if i was to give my car up but on the other hand i cant justifiy paying that much for petrol well have to see what happens over the next few months its going to be intresting to see how we all cope with this constant increse in petrol

anyway iam off on me bike to work today have a goodun and stay safe
