lemon twist

I have been watching so much tv lately. It's something that I don't do regularly because I usually have so many other things that I need to and want to do - and it always ended up wasting the precious time of day that was so vital to my sanity. I'm seriously becoming a gym junkie couch potato; I know that sounds like a paradox but I'll explain: I go to the gym and I love it. I love my Pilates classes and my body pump classes and doing the whole gym thing (which is very unlike me) makes me feel so good and healthy and fresh. But then, because I'm feeling so healthy and like I'm losing weight or toning the (barely there) muscles in my stomach, thighs and arms, I feel that I can reward myself with yummy treats like chips and cookies and sit on a couch all day watching brainless tv and not really moving much...
What a tragic, self-depreciating psychology I have gotten myself into. This is not something I would normally do or even get myself into...it's that damn tv! It is to blame for my sad situation! What a sour little trickster that (rather large) black box has showed himself to be! Through the meticulous organised teasing with ads to catch my attention and draw me in with clever programming, like Great Food Live on the Food channel right before Whose Wedding is it Anyway on Arena followed by 24 on channel 7 which is followed by Spy on Lifestyle...how shall the vicious cycle ever come to it's shivering, needy, cold turkey end??

So glad I can go back to normal life and university...ahhh university: exploring the immoral, vicious cycle of money, ambition, desire to kill the environment and a depressing philosophy that we're all going to die because the Nike's of the world will stop at nothing to get what they want...and we'll never stop them.

I'm not buying Nike shoes anymore...
