Ok peeps just a quick one (well not quite so quick I think is longer than the rest :s)
Hi again,
What a Saturday I've had. I truly got to relax this morning, I woke at about 10:30, I probably could have gone on for longer but am glad I didn't (before you all gasp in shock at 10:30, I do work night shifts so it's normally my bedtime.) I was able to just sit around in my pjs and watch the Formula 1 practice 3 and qualifying with the McDaddy and just chat. it's moments like this I truly appreciate, I know most people want more in life, fame & fortune and the like, but not me. Family means more to me than anything, it always has. I've put them before love (or what I thought could have been), before my career (but they don't and will never know about it) I even at times put them before myself (a story about my Mam & organ donation for another time).
Please don't get any strange notions about the above, the love thing was along time ago, my need to be with my family does not make me perfect, or weak or anything else, it's just instinctual for me and I'm grateful for it.
(sorry I told myself no procrastinating in this post.)
So back to today the F1 went in my favour with Mark Webber on pole and my Ferrari boys placed 4th and 5th so I was happy.
Happiness: the thing I'm blaming for my sudden walking obsession. Walking seems to give me the happys :D
Today I decided to turn left (I walked right yesterday) it was not as picturesque but it got me to where I wanted to be, the next town along (more out of date seaside resort with a lot a closed/borded up store fronts). I was in need of some new walking, jogging possibly escalating to running shoes. I have some of those balancing & toning reebok trainers, the only thing they are toning are my feet and causing cramp :s . I've gone for some Karimor walking trainers which seem to be a good walker and jogger option, also might help with the cliff and dune climbing.
On the way back on the 5 mile round trudge, I was checking out twitter and Facebook to find reports that Amy Winehouse had been found dead in her home in Camden.
(I have to apologise at this point as I know that I wrote in my profile that I try not to be judgemental, but I have to get this off my chest {ps if you are a fan please skip the next chapter} but please let me have my opinion, ta)
Right, whilst I am hoping that Amy is finally at peace and feel the utmost sympathy for her family, why is everyone so shocked that she is dead? Did she not say herself only a couple of mons ago that if she had not entered rehab (this time) she would have been dead in days. I can not muster any sympathy for her, she knew when she first took drugs that they can kill, but she chose to "experiment" anyway. She knew they could kill her when she tried to get off them In Rehab the 1st, 2nd and however many times she admitted herself. Now I know drugs and alcohol addiction are an illness and I hope & wish anyone who suffers gets the help they need, but no one had more help, opportunities or money to quit than Amy. The other thing that has irritated me is how everyone only cares because she was famous. I don't care what they say, I bet not a single one of them has mourned the death of the skally (downbeat) drug addict who comes up to them in the street asking for 20p!
I know many will disagree with my opinions, I would expect no less but I find the taking of illegal & harmful drugs abhorrent. I have seen people take them and unwittingly had my drink spiked by a "friend" and I have seen the things people have done to buy drugs, but I have never 'experimented' I was told when I was young never to touch them (the same with smoking) and I never knowingly have. In my opinion Drugs Kill so what sane person would touch them?
Ok rant over. I had to get thAt out due to someone putting a comment on my fb page but like I say I'm all for freedom of speech and encourage debate.
Jeepers, this went on longer than I planned. So I'll finish with I'm looking forward to the German GP tomorrow (come on Ferrari!) and am hopefully going to get another walk in before the race tomorrow... Will just have to see if my poor feet have grown back :)
Good morning/good evening/ goodnight wherever you are, I hope you are well and safe and feel free to comment on any of my posts, all I ask is dont be too harsh
Night all, thanks for reading
