RIP Heath Ledger

I can't believe this guy is dead.
It was one of those surreal moments when I woke up to hear the radio reporting on his death, and for a split second I thought I was dreaming.
Please, please, please don't have died from an intended overdose on 'bad drugs'.

busy

I've been pulling my hair out over the past few days, trying to do too many things at once.

I have a massive list pinned to the fridge, which currently looks a bit like this:

Find house in Bangor
Find apartment in Spain
Get travel insurance sorted
Opticians
Buy glasses
Summer Job
suitcase????
Christmas tree to tip
Set up wireless (I still haven't managed to do this - I cant actually be bothered)
Mum birthday present
Dissertation Research


I have done one thing on this list. Opticians.

Meh.

post thirty six - resolutions

Did anyone watch a program last night called Half Ton Mum?

Shocking.
I don't normally comment on these things but this seriously disgusted me.
She claimed that she didn't overeat, and somedays 'she had to force herself to eat because she knew that she had to eat something'. Everyone else said she overate. Alright, she was overweight as a child and that wasn't entirely her fault, but how can anyone get themselves into a position where they weight in at 64 stone?

I was in a serious car accident like she was. I LOST weight. Granted, I put it most of it back on again, but I cannot see how she how did it. Obesity baffles me.

They say that 'obesity is a disease'. I disagree. Eating shit food and not exercising is not a disease. Stop making up excuses.

Gastric Bypass Surgery is for those with more money than will power. Some people need this operation for real reasons. she could have lost the weight herself, if she really tried.

In case you didn't see it, the surgery was successful. She lost 4 stone in two weeks, but then suddenly had a heart attack and died. She was 29.

They then filmed this guy at the end who was getting help. He was 74 stone.
People are dying every day because they don't have enough to eat. And these people are killing themselves by eating too much.
What a waste.


This program was followed by 'My Fake Baby'. That was also disturbing.
God Bless Channel Four.
