					  <description><![CDATA[Lately I feel like I&#039;ve spent far too much time with, and around, the fun police... those grumpy, judgemental, opinionated old farts who peer down their nose at anyone who isn&#039;t like them; mind-numbingly boring, miserable and predictable. They even justify their unpleasant disposition....

&quot;You wouldn&#039;t understand adversity if it hit you on the head... back in my day..&quot;]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[I was sitting at the lights lost in my own thoughts when all of a sudden I became aware of a presence... no, not a poltergeist; a bloke on a mountain bike had pulled up along side me.
Three feet away.
Coulda touched him.

Game face on... waiting for the green signal.
Like an Olympian waiting for the starters gun.
Focused.
Committed.
And dressed atrociously.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[A modern Zombie; going through &#039;the motions&#039; of life.
You&#039;ve seen it; people who seem to have their &#039;life-force&#039; drained out of them.
Maybe at times you are that &#039;people&#039;.
Er, person.

Simulated living... looks like living, but isn&#039;t.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[&quot;Hey Craig, I&#039;m having some problems with my boss at work and I gotta tell ya, I&#039;ve been a complete pain in the ass lately.... I&#039;m rude, I don&#039;t listen, I only see my point of view, I&#039;m opinionated, I&#039;m impatient, I always think I&#039;m right because I have an attitude problem and I just don&#039;t communicate very well... to be honest, I just can&#039;t be bothered. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Two nights ago I had a phone call from a guy who I've known for a while. Not too many years ago he was a lean, athletic, good looking young guy with the world at his feet. Now he is a morbidly obese, unhealthy man who despises his looks, is embarrassed to be seen in public and can't find clothes to fit him.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Over the years I have taken thousands of &#039;before&#039; photos of people (front, side and rear) before they start their weight-loss/fitness endeavour.

Invariably they are stunned when they see the pictures.

Why are they so shocked?

Because when it comes to their body, they live in some alternative reality; 
The Slim Zone.

The one where they look forty pounds lighter.]]></description>

&quot;Stop wasting your life on crap you can&#039;t change&quot;.

Or not.]]></description>

Knowing that they would never realise that I was obese if I was wearing my magic &#039;fat-hiding T-shirt&#039;.
Of course.]]></description>
