Finished the Internet?

I write this now, completely bored out my tree.

If however I was to take a step a take out of myself, to view myself in a "Gears of War 3" Perspective I would probably find myself shouting at a the Iain in front of me "HOW CAN YOU BE BORED?! YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?"

Let me explain, I'm at work right now on a dedicated break.

I've been to the White Rose centre to my lunch and bought a calorific sandwich. Eaten That.

My usual routine is as follows. (At home the routine includes other websites that would be deemed inappropriate)

- BBC News

- Facebook

- Hotukdeals

- Facebook

- Hotukdeals

- Facebook

And from that its pretty much rinse and repeat, there's a few useful things that I could be looking at, namely a Fireplace/Dual Fuel stove, however I just can't bring myself to it.

13 Years ago, in 1998, I'd owned my Pentium 100mhz PC for around 2 years, and finally got it connected to the internet via a 56k Modem.

I remember the happiness that viewing Web pages gave me, every time you loaded a page it was a host of new information that previously I'd have had to have to ask someone about, or worse. Read a book.

It was also like gambling. There was a strong chance the page you were visiting was so poor that the information wouldn't be useful, and still a very strong possibility it wouldn't load at all!

All the time it was costing 1p a Minute and tying up the phone line from incoming calls (A welcome feature I think)

Looking at the above websites that are rinse and repeat, they are heavily user generated content, if everyone starts to think like me, they may start to cease to exist, just becoming updates for the occasional facerape or silly misprice on the internet.

That would be a sad world.

Anyway, this has taken up 20 mins for my time, back to work, connecting people up to use the internet god knows if I stopped doing that I'd be making the problem worse....

Thanks for Reading

Obsession

Its been a long time since I've updated my Blog, although i'll be the first to admit that a lot has gone on recently.

However, the one thing that's actually prompting me to write this is a single thing. Weight. More specifically... My Weight.

Now before you comment on this, If you have known me over the last 26 years, you'll probably think of me as the Skinny Wretch, Racing Snake, Bean Pole etc etc.

However upon giving myself a "Naked Weight" reading this morning, I now weight 13 Stone 2 1/2lbs. Around 84kg in new money.

And do you know what? I'm not the least bit bothered about it! Its a good feeling to be honest, I've been hitting the gym 3/4 times a week and am lifting heavier weights, so maybe its this showing, I'm eating healthy. I do hold some slight reservation about my cardio capability.

If I could put this on a scale for you out of a 100, mine would be around -10. Its shot, nowhere near the level of fitness I want to be at, so I'm going to start hitting the treadmill and possibly the open road!

Its my new Obsession, and I apologise to Amelia now for harping on about it over the next 2 weeks, until Gears of War 3 comes out at least...
