Hopefully this inspires our sports channels to not use the likes of Naas and Joel:

Hey? How would viewership spike locally if we had Marika Fruscio presenting ANY SPORT.

It’s so much better than ‘Ja well on the other hand Darren…’

Yeah yeah, so it’s late, but I’ve just been a little busy, doing the stuff that actually makes money Here it is:

“In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better.

The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” —Theodore Roosevelt.

Obviously.

I’m dedicating today to the musicians of the world, the ones who battle to get their music seen and heard, so that they can make money to continue making great music. I don’t know about you, but I can’t go through a single day without music. I can hardly go an hour without music. I’m either streaming or playing music from iTunes on my computer, or listening to CD’s in my car, or attached to an iPod. I actually find it impossible to function/work without music if I’ll be completely honest. As soon as the music stops, I get anxious and just feel weird and depressed.

If the music ever had to stop completely, it would be the end of the world for me. But if the end of the world did come, I’d want it to end while the music pumped out over the horizon. I think I’d feel fine if at least the world ended with great music playing.

Pay for your music. Support live music. Without all these musicians, we wouldn’t be able to get through the days.

Today’s inspiration is those people, the ones who see life as a song, and bring these visions to us in the form of music.

You know what Mens Health say you should look like? How they make you feel the need to look like someone who spends all day in the gym? Well yeah, you can look like that, but it won’t necessarily make you happy.
Just do what you want to do. Go for a run. Ride your bike around. Run around playing on the beach. Surf. Kite board. You don’t need to be at the gym. And you don’t need to have a Mens Health body. Here are 4 men who are proof that you don’t need to look like a Mens Health cover model to enjoy life:

Surely didn’t care about gym

Johnny Depp chilling on his yacht with his wife. His net worth? Apparently around $75 million

Pharrell Williams, not known to be pump huge weights in the gym. Has gained international success. Net worth? Also around the $75 million mark.

Richard Branson. Does what he wants. Net worth? Ag, about $4 billion.

And you’ll notice a trend amongst the worlds most successful people, none of them care about the gym. Sure, they may still exercise for health reasons, but they certainly don’t care about sculpting the perfect body.
Drop gym if it doesn’t excite you.
Just do what you want to do.

It’s those advertisments, those marketing people, who have you wanting all this stuff. These supplements. Stuff you don’t need. Stuff they want you to ‘need’

Open your eyes man, there is a whole world out there beyond the gym bubble.

Find it. Experience it.
