You know, I was actually a fan of Michael Jackson. In fact, I loved him right from when I was a little one. I’d be the one with dozens of posters on my walls of him and every single one of his albums (at least, that was what they were back then). So, it wouldn’t surprise you that I was a tad bit upset when he died. However, I do think it is time to move on. Yes, a few weeks of publicity and recognition for his grand music career and contribution he made to the world is just fine. But, now we have to sit there and watch endless infomercials of people peddling products of him. Mounds of posters, dishes and other trickets and gadgets with his face on them being sold through these midnight half hour commercials just like the Magic Bullet. It is ridiculous already. When does someone really get the chance to rest in peace?

Talking of resting (in drunken pieces) ha i’m so funny. Do any of you guys want to come check out the Vatican? Hell yer Rome here we come. The Pope is going to give us a guided tour. If you need a hostels in Rome their load on Hostel Club. We will arrive on the 6th and we are going to be staying until 29th. It’s going to be great.

Life is full of addictions.

People are addicted to all sorts of weird and wonderful things. We are all familiar with the obvious ones such as drink, drugs, gambling and smoking but there are also some far more bizarre examples.

Being addicted to exercise is something that I find a little difficult to understand and, well… a bit strange.

I do not find the overall concept of exercise particularly appealing anyway. The thought of going out and digging the garden or walking into town to do the shopping are, in my mind, normal ways of keeping fit.

Having already been a bit baffled that some people go out running around city streets in all weathers, I am now totally perplexed. Apparently, some people actually find this sort of thing very addictive. I can’t help wondering what type of withdrawal symptoms you are risking if you do not manage to do your allotted amount of push-ups or squat-thrusts.

To be honest, I find it a lot easier to understand why people want to ‘escape’ by using drugs or by getting plastered on a Friday night.

Exercise? Addictive? That is just weird.
