I think these two will watch this a few times in their life. I wonder how long it took to create? Do yuo reckon the guests got to enjoy themselves or were they forced to rehearse through the night/day to perfect this?
I feel like a bank giving a quarterly update but my life has been so hectic lately that I really havent had a chance to post. I let my feed reader get well over a 1,000 posts and I dont think I get more than 50 in there a day!!!
When I promised myself that 2010 would be the year of change I really didnt believe that by the end of March I would have:
* Ended a 3 year relationship
* Moved houses
and
*Accepted a new job
Not quite sure what Q2 holds but from the outset my liver is going to need reinforcements, my weekends have so far involved little sleep and some great nights out with the lads!!!!
I also have triathlons to train for and holidays to plan assuming the volcano ash doesnt scrap Europe travel
How are all 3 of my readers doing??
Coming home early from a mate’s 30th and slowly starting to realise that work drains most of my energy and I simply can’t do two big nights in a row anymore… poker last night at a mates spot, played alright and came second, followed by a night in the grand ensured I didn’t really surface on Sat until the afternoon.
It really sucks getting old and working to live. That said work is improving and I might have found something to specialise in, always good.
As January draws to a close in record time, trying to reflect back on what I achieved is going to be tough. Work had some major changes, a couple of partners left and I find myself in preparation for a final interview at a massive company. Not sure if its good news, (its possibly great news) but it certainly will be an increase of roughly the same as my promotion. Yes I got promoted, at the end of December.
Training wise, January was disruptive to say the least. The amount of snow and ice really killed the outdoor training as well as the project I was on. I guess ending a relationship of 4 years didn’t help matters either…
Goal wise, my work related ones are on target, weight and gut size are probably going better and the others need some work.
Oh and I ran into someone from the past who I never thought I would see again, someone with a few issues and trouble written all over her, not sure I am ready for trouble or want trouble. No, I haven’t found out and not sure if I will…
How has 2010 shaped up for you?

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me.
I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get it started.”
Her boyfriend asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”
The blonde says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a tiger.”
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,
“First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger.”
He takes her hand and says,
“Second, I want you to relax”.
“Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then”
He sighed………
“Let’s put all the Frosties back in the box.”
Here are 20 Rules that must be adhered to
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us whining about you leaving it down.
2. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
3. Saturday = Sports
4. Crying is blackmail.
5. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
6. We don’t remember dates. Mark them on a calendar and remind us frequently.
7. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
8.a. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. 8.b. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
9.a. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. 9.b.In fact all comments become null and void after 7 days.
10. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer that question anymore.
11. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
12.a. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during advertisements. On the BBC there are none, during football you are in for a long wait. 12.b. A beer would not go amiss.
13. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
14. ALL men see in only 16 colours. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. We have no idea what mauve is.
15. We are not mind readers and we never will be.
16. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will believe you now
17. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.
18.a.You have enough clothes. 18.b.You have too many shoes.
19.It is neither in your best interest or ours to take any quiz together. No, it doesn’t matter which quiz.
20.a. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you. 20.b. Beer never goes out of fashion
I remember all these years ago when we were promised man will move to the moon in the 21century. Almost if it was yesterday, I can clearly recall a picture depicted in a book predicting the future, where there were humans living on the moon, with shops etc. This was in grade 2 way back in the 1980’s – now that we in 2010, it doesn’t seem the world has evolved all that much, Television is in colour still and while ‘the box’ has evolved to plasma and LCD, 3D TV is nowhere near mainstream. Telephones are now portable, so there has been a move forward in that department and computers have revolutionized the way we do business from the 80’s. Transport has remained the same though, in fact there are more cars on the road and traffic has become a nightmare…. Where are the flying cars?????????
What has been the best innovation for you in the last decade or two????
2010 has got off to a good start, with a 2hour cycle on the 2nd of January, however after taking a break from any form of fitness for the last 4 months, it has really showed. The last small incline on the way home almost made me walk, and frustrated me as the Granny with the zimmerframe effortlessly strolled past me.
The reason for the big push is the 2010 Argus Cycle Tour taking place in Cape Town, South Africa on 14 March. A mate of mine has challenged me and has been in training for the last few weeks. We have a bit of cash on the outcome, but the pride for winning the rivalry between us for out weighs the $1,000,000 $50 wager we have on the outcome.
My target is sub 4 hours for the 110km race, which means I should be averaging 30km an hour in training. I am currently at 18km/h (probably the slowest ever) so I am a long way off.
