So nearly there...

...went to look at the flat today with Dad, who seemed to think quite positively on things. He likes the location - and thinks its quite nice, albeit small (or in marketing talk, cosy!)

The world around us here is crumbling apart. Stabbings, murders on motorways and teens kicking the shit out of normal people like you and I. What the fuck is going on around us? I swear to God there's just a total lack of respect.

I sat and watched possibly the most incredible 15 minutes of BBC 1. A program on people near to death - one guy had 4 heart attacks and still survived. They put a metal spring in his artery to ensure blockages don't occur again. It brought back home how fragile life is, and how a great number of people take it for granted (myself included)

Our time on this planet is very short-lived. I just don't want to begin regretting things. I need to get healthier and fitter, but it's my parents who need it more. I simply don't know what I'd do without them. I love them to pieces.

On the news at the moment is the letter of a 12yr old girl to her dying dad in hospital. She begs him to fight through his injuries - sustained in a violent attack from youths. What the fuck is going on?

Bring back the death penalty. Strike fear into the hearts of those who commit crime, and empty some of these fucking jails.
