Out of my mind.... back in 5 minutes.....

Ive just cleaned my room, hoovered the whole house, been on my hands and knees scrubbing the shower room and toilet floor and putting clothes away.

Prior to that i went on the treadmill and got nice and sweaty, then did some weights and got sweatier then did 'floor work' i.e. sit ups, leg lifts, the plank etc... and got eeveenn more sweaty than i was before then ..... and followed this all up with a lovely power shower.

Before that, i was messing around with the settings on my new upgrade (FIINAALLY got round to upgrading my phone and contract :) .... only after 2 extraordinarily humungous phone bills) ... and then before that.....

I was asleep.

Snug under my duvet lost in the land of nod and the world of dreams.

I like sleep.

Infact, i like sleep so much i am currently reading a book about it!! - "Man consumes more than one third of his lie in this, his irrational state" ..... Sleep is an active state generated within the brain, not a mere absence of conciousness.

"The mere presence of an alarm clock implies sleep deprivation, and what bedroom lacks an alarm clock?"....... - what they fail to mention however, is the presence of 3 alarm clocks - one by the head, one on a desk and one on the floor .... hmm..... extreme sleep deprivation!? - mabye sometimes im so used to feeling tired that i dont feel it anymore.

ANNNYYHOOO.

Yeh so things are going good at the mo - uni has started but im tending to be absent more than present ... ah well ...
Been going to the gym regularly again and on the days i dont go to the gym (such as today) i go on my treadmill and use the weights i have in my room.
Read a lot of books recently too and infact, seeing as im too tired to actually write anything anymore im going to copy and paste something i wrote on my other blog (thoughtswhilethinking.blogspot.com) about a book i was reading called 'My Michael" by Amos Oz ......

"My Michael"

Am reading a great book (my michael by Amos Oz) at the moment - its not great in the sense that it is gripping just that its really different and very disjointed sometimes.

anyhoo... so yeh, i found the opening passage to be really memorable so thought would care'n'share so to speak ...

"I am writing this because people I have loved have died. I am writing this because when I was young I was full of the power of loving, and now that power of loving is dying. I do not want to die."

Then there was a passage which made me kinda laugh out loud but more grin manically and breathe forcefully outta my nose ... not sure if you get me but if you do im impressed!! ... (the blanket thing was the bit that made me 'laugh' but ive put the whole paragraph just coz i liked it and wanted to)...

"My late father occasionally used to say: It is imossible for ordinary people to tell a thoroughgoing lie. Deception always gives itself away. It is like a blanket which is too short: When you try to cover your feet your head is left uncovered, and when you cover your head your feet stick out. A man produces an elaborate excuse so as to conceal something, not realising that the excuse itself reveals some unpleasant truth. Pure truth, on the other hand, is thoroughly destructive and leads nowhere. What can ordinary people do? All we can do is silently stand and stare. Here that is all we can do. Silently stand and stare."

Sorry not all that much to say but i have time to pass until i meet up with jamie so thought would put you all through the torture of reading this anyway!

More another time.....
