Walks and slightly less than insperational talks.

Today, I went for a walk. My friend and I decided that the walk would be a very good idea and we set out along the canal at 12.30 from Wombourne, walked to Tetenhall, and made it back to where we started from by 4.00. We spent most of the time pondering where we were, simply because when walking along a canal, you can either go forwards...or backwards, so as we continued to treck on, unfamiliar sites and areas appeared. The only clues we had were the bridge numbers as we passed under them, this of course is not much help to the unexperienced canal walker aka my lovely friend Kat and myself.

It was quite scenic and I really enjoyed it, but I will ache in the morning. After Kat's parents picked her up from The Mount Pleasant I walked back to my house about 10 minutes away. Half way there, I felt my legs start to shake, my heart was beating really fast and I was becoming breathless. Seeming I have a standard stamina and have walked alot more than I have done today, I thought this to be rather strange then it hit me...I hadn't eaten all day, and I had drank two cans of red bull...that combination is bound to send you funny. I ate some cheese on toast and a pack of crisps, this soon made me feel better! Now I'm experiencing growing pains, but this of course is completley unconnected.

So, my dad picks me up from my nans and as he normally does on a Friday, stops by The Mount Pleasant to have a drink. This means of course, I went along with him. Sitting outside in the smokers area a few conversations crop up between my dad and his friend as they often do. Somehow a conversation gets brought up between me and my father about a man called John Kimberly. He gave me a teddy bear for my 8th birthday when I lived in America, I asked my Dad what happend to that man and he told me he was probably tanning up in his villa on some obscure island. "So's he's got a bit of money has he?" I ask my Dad. "He's stinking rich, he was the founder of Firefox before it was sold to Mozilla." Yes, I knew the founder of Firefox and he gave me a teddy bear, aren't I something special :). I have always believed that a day where you haven't learnt anything, is a day wasted - I officially haven't wasted this day.

I'm just watching Criminal Minds right now. If you haven't seen it yet, get on to it! It's a brilliant programme all about investigations. It's not another CSI because it's not about using physical evidence to convict criminals, it's about using profiling (which in it's time has been called intelligent guessing but it's just a form of psychology) if your intrested in using the mind then this is your kind of programme. I love it anyway, I learn loads from it.

So, I have decided to give my pointless blog a bit of a twist I am going to end each one with a quote. It can be a quote from anywhere, but a quote it shall be. Hopefully it will give your mind something to dwell on as so far I have failed in ranting, as I often do. So...here's the first quote.


'The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made." - Groucho Marx
Sadly, this is true, we all want to live life the right way, but the most successful people are always the ones who deceive and manipulate.
