Journals - My nuts taste like lemons

No really, they do. Billington's Toasted Seeds & Pine Nuts, Sweet and Lemony flavoured *nods*.

Anyway, on to my post. Me and my dad joined a gym today. I've been wanting to for myself for a while, as I'm getting a little out of shape, but I've been trying to convince my dad to join with me because his life pretty much depends on it. He's a big guy, always has been, but problems with his knees have made him lazy in his old age (he's 60 next year) so he's just gotten bigger and bigger, and now weighs around 320lbs. Admittedly he's 6ft 2 tall, but still that kind of weight is unacceptable, especially since he needs two operations and the doctors are refusing to operate until he loses weight. So yes, today I finally convinced him to join with me, if only for him to use the pool and swim a few lengths three times a week.

I used the gym for the first time in years and felt great. I 'll be a little achey tomorrow, but that's to be expected really, and my dad (as predicted) spent 40 minutes swimming / floating in the pool. Well, it's a start, I thought. Then we got home and for lunch I made myself a fresh smoothie. Asked my dad if he wanted one too, only to reallise that he'd just begun making his own lunch: bacon, eggs, sausage, tomatoes and fried bread. The fucking idiot. I mean, Christ on a crutch, why does he think I've been pestering him to go to the gym? To make room for more junk food? Fuck that. Sometimes I'm glad I was blessed with the common sense that my parents missed out on.

About Manny

Hmm.... decided it was about time I should update this a little more, since I seem to have stuck around:

My real name is Paul, but most people call me Manny. I'm 27 years old (28 this year) and live in the town of Warrington, Cheshire, in the UK. Currently between jobs after having broken up with my fiancé of 4 and a half years and moving back here from Glasgow, but things are hopefully looking up as I've been given the names of some people to contact with this regards. Oh, and as for what I do when I work, I'm a Freelance sound studio/live sound engineer usually, but right now I'm just looking for whatever I can get.

I'm single (although was almost married at one point), and loving the new found freedom that comes with it. No really, I always thought I'd have a total break down if I ever broke up with my ex because she meant everything to me, but once we broke up it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders (mebbe I'll post a blog entry about all that happened, it makes for an interesting read).

I discovered Alberta Stars after following a link that somebody left on the website www.muchsucko.com (it was in a thread on there discussing those pictures of the girl who crashed her dad's Porsche) and decided to stick around because I really liked what I saw here. I don't regret it at all, this is without a doubt the best message forum I've ever had the good grace to come across.

Anyways, I'm a friendly sort, so if anyone feels the pressing need to ask me anything, go right ahead and I'll do my best to answer.

Peace out

Manny..x
