Old Babies and Trampolines

Hello again. Many apologises if I'm blogging too much, I think I may be addicted, oh well.
I tried to post this last night but it wouldn't publish so at 2am I gave up and decided I'd post it today, but the crappy wee video I made took from 09.30 to 01.27 to upload and it didn't even finish, hence why I uploaded it to Youtube, stupid blogger!!

And thus I begin. Yesterday (Thursday) was quite a normal average day except for a few exceptions. Firstly I accompanied Kerri to Newcastle as Claire needed to go, unfortunately we were slightly behind time and the trip there was... quick to say the least. Anyway we got there all well and good, but as we were walking about we stumbled across an old woman lying on the road, she had collapsed and had clearly banged her head rather hard against the tarmac. Luckily there were people gathered round her assisting her and an ambulance arrived so hopefully all is well. However last night I heard that babies born today have a life expectancy of 120 years and I thought to myself, that lady that fell was probably about 80 or 90, does that mean that if it comes true that people will live to 120 they'll have 30-40 more years of falling, weak bladders, bad sight, bad hearing and being so terribly frail and delicate like that lady? I'm assuming are ageing process will stay the same, we'll just live longer. A good thing or not? Leave a comment on what you think (cause I'm a comment whore).

But anyway, my day continued as usual, got home, had lunch, attempted revision, failed revision, served as a taxi driver for my brother then got horribly bored. I decided it was time I got up off my ass and did some exercise, so what to do? We don't have a football in our house because they keep getting burst, I can't play rugby by myself, I would play hockey but the concrete is liable to breaking my stick, running; too much effort, walking; too little effort. I ended up getting out my trampet (a small trampoline gymnasts use for box work) and attempted to jump over various obstacles.


However the midgies soon brought that activity to a close as they ate me alive.Yes, I'm that sad and lonely that I have time to collaborate it together with music.
Freaking hate them

But anyway, I've nothing else really to say so I'll leave now, but before I go, since I'm new to all this jazz; someone please tell me what you want me to write about as I'm very weary that probably all of you aren't interested in me jumping over football nets and roller blading with a barrel on my head. 

That is all.

I quite enjoyed watching you try to be a stunt man John.

Yep I enjoyed it too! I laughed quite a lot, though I think you must be immune to broken bones or something. As for what you should blog about, the best blogs actually tend to be the ones where you're expecting everyone else not to care (eg some of Claudia's best blogs are Korean), and so far yours are very entertaining, so I wouldn't worry too much about changing them!

Merci beaucoup. Emma, Unfortunately I'm not immune to broken bones, however I've only ever broken my wee toe, but on the upside, I caught it on video, on the downside to that again, it's the most unimpressive thing ever, but I'll upload it on my next blog probably tonight.

Sorry I just feel the need to differ with Emma. CLAUDIA'S BEST BLOG POSTS ARE NOT THE KOREAN ONES!!!! I HATE THEM!

That is all.

Jordan I meant that she writes them best, not that people like them best! lol

Claudia said...

Jordan, I don't give a crap if you hate my Korean posts! Pretty Korean boys are more interesting than reading your rants.

And John! Lol at the Hangul there.
