Religion
SPEAKEASY: The one man show that is Carey Henderson, keeps getting better.
I’ve contributed one article and just sent off a short piece about my early dalliances with religion.
I don’t believe in God. (So why the capital letter? hmmm)
I do believe in people’s right to believe in whatever they want to believe in…
I do believe that some religions foster positive feelings.
I do believe that some religions are archaic and out-dated.
Quick question: Believer or not, what would the world be like without religion? (Historical events aside, extract religion from society as it is today).
And that’s quite enough of that for the moment if you ask me…

Still awake
Been awake since 7:30 a.m., which given the past few days, is something of an achievement. Mind you, I’m off for a snooze now as I can hardly keep my eyes open – hey, it’s hard work catching up, cripes what’s it going to be like when we go on holiday later in the year (Nerja for two weeks).
Ohh and isn’t it just typical, I don’t go online for a few days and the Galactic Toss Monkeys creep further into the psyche… I wonder if anyone at Google has picked up on it yet…
(and while I remember I think it’s “Galactic Toss Monkeys”… ohh darn I was gonna leave this alone wasn’t I… ohh well time for snooze methinks).

Diet
Wednesday, February 26, 2003 ~ Comments Off
We held a diet contest in my workplace last year. I won it. Lost almost two stones (28lbs) in 10 weeks. I did it healthily, started going to the gym, ate sensible, healthy foods. I felt good about myself, looked better, and enjoyed (in that embarassed way we Brits manage so well) the compliments.
I’ve since put on about a stone and not been to a gym since October last year.
I’ve always thought of myself as overweight, having never really shed the ‘puppy fat’ of childhood, and never really developing much muscle tone until my early twenties (by which point my weight was on the increase), and like most people, I have a mental image of myself that is much slimmer than I am.
I remember seeing a picture of myself taken on Christmas Day 2001. I’m sitting at the table next to my Mum, and I look huge. Now I am 6’0 and my Mum is all of 5’3 on a good day, but I was shocked. The image is still clear in my head, and hasn’t seemed to fade or curl up round the edges like so many of the images I try and store in there.
I KNOW how to eat healthily, I know I need aerobic exercise (mainly), and that anaerobic exercise won’t be of huge benefit to me, I need to diet. I need to exercise. I need to give myself a royal kick up the arse.
But it’s not that easy is it. It’s a state of mind that I can’t hold on to, it flits into my consciousness every day for fleeting minutes, and I can’t seem to grab it or hold it tight enough to make it stay. But then that problem isn’t new for me (flittering thoughts? sounds familiar). In fact it’s a daily occurance, the brief glimpse of what I SHOULD be doing, only for it to wriggle away out of reach.
I digress. Dieting and exercise. Healthy living. I have a target in mind, late August, I’ve booked the flights, and would like to enjoy the sun on my skin without worrying about what people might think of me (ohh that sounds familiar too). I’m not looking for a washboard stomach, I am quite happy to admit that I don’t have the dedication for that, but I would like mine to be flat (ish would do).
As long as it is before October 17th.
It MUST be before October 17th.
I wonder what it is like to be 30?

He’s alive!
Well getting there anyway. Still kinda woozy, but at least I can sit upright and not think the room is spinning or that I want to be sick…
Which is all just as well as I’d forgotten that today is broadband day. Yay…
I just wish I had more enthusiasm for it… ohh and I’ve installed ZoneAlarm as my firewall, unless you techies think there is a better (free) one out there…
And, as if by magic, the Telewest van draws up…
