Imagine Dragons - On top of the World

This video by Imagine Dragons is waaay cool, see the big 'con' the US pulled off 44 years ago.  The US is full of conspiracies and counter claims, thats why its so fascinating, for every official breakthrough, there is always another spin to the story which is so intriguing.

Who killed JFK ?  Was 9 -11 a setup ?  Who shot Martin Luther King ? Who was behind the 1997 Asian crisis ?

Enjoy the video which is highly entertaining in my book.

Our Very Own Running Inspiration ; Mr. Chan Meng Hui

      I share the exact same sentiment as Mr. Chan Meng Hui, running to me is like breathing, if I do not run, I feel lifeless and edgy. Man was born to use his legs and running comes naturally to me - although stamina and running endurance is only God given to a blessed few. 

     He started running at - get this - age 52, when he was sick and tired all the time from entertaining clients and drinking till his liver got sick, so on one trip to Japan, he saw all these senior citizens living active lives and eating healthily, so he vowed to change his lifestyle and now clocks - get this (at age 83) - 80 km a week !   Incredible you say ? He is also very fast, clocking a 3 hours 26 minutes when he was 56 years old. That is 5 years older than I am now ! 
    
     When there is a will there is a way. The body is a fantastic machine, when given the right foods, rest, motivation and discipline, it can work wonders. Use it wisely and you get maximum output for the same machine, use it and feed it junk, overuse it, abuse it and never let it rest, and it breaks down.

     My hero for the moment is aiming for - get this - 100 marathons ; which he will achieve in a couple of years time. He is already at full marathon 97.  

     Lets aim high and set the bar every higher. 

     Seize the Day ! 

Living in the Moment - Great Song from Jason Mraz

You got to just love the positive vibes this song gives out. Taken from Jason's latest album, the CD has easily 5 -6 very listenable tunes including "I won't give Up". There are many hip hop, rappers and female artists out there, but for true simple Popular Easy Listening, Jason Mraz gets my vote. 

Another great new breakout artistes are Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Man these guys are bad ! I love the cool artistry of their CD Thrift Shop. Simply the best duo in recent memory.

Mum and Dad celebrating Hannah's 1st birthday 8 Dec 2005

 This is a priceless moment whereby my Mum (75) and Dad (86) were celebrating my niece Hannah's first birthday on 8th December 2005.  This picture was taken at my brother John's house. 

  My 2 sons were 8 and 11 respectively. We remember with love the ones who have passed on and hold on to the good, bad, happy, sad, triumphant, sorrowful, joyful and satisfying memories  in our hearts forever. 

  

               Below is the happy times shared during Hannah's 3rd birthday in 2007 ; my Mum would have been 77 and my Dad 88.
