The Breakfast Radio Diaries 112 - Feed the machine

I remembered to eat today. Which is pretty important really especially when you do a workout and all you've got in your system is a couple of strong coffee's.. 


Also can someone tell me what happened at the end of Arrow?

FEED ME MORNING

Since getting back into the swing of breakfast radio and 4:30am wakeup calls, breakfast itself has been a bit of a 'when I remember' part of the day. If there's cereal on hand, that'll be my go to. If there's leftovers from the night before then I team up with Chef Mike for a hot meal replay.
But it neither are available then sometimes I won't eat until I finish at work which means breakfast is around lunch time, lunch is around dinner hours and dinner doesn't exist for the day. 

So it's no wonder I was feeling flat as a tack yesterday - the day after a heavy weights workout, only two meals under my belt, overfueled by caffeine and barely any sleep. Crunch that ball of energy drain together and I was a walking talking zombie who really wasn't keen on walking anywhere to be honest. So I hit the sack early, ate some leftovers before the show kicked off (snags and cauliflower cheese) and combined with lunch and dinner tonight (and no workout), I might just feel human again shortly - wish me luck!


WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF...

'What TV show did you start but never end up finishing?' That's what we asked today although I already had a decent list going..


Arrow rocked, Stephen Amell rocks, but this went on too long. I forget where I dropped out but I believe it was somewhere between 'He's killing everyone' and 'Now he's killing everyone's who's killing everyone.' Also I recall I didn't like the crossover episodes at all because if you didn't watch them, nothing really made sense. Which leads to: 


The Flash: Oh look, it's a crossover series. By itself it was okay but I remember getting to the part where he was trying to figure out how to beat the intelligent Gorilla (General Zodd? Grod? Grood?) before someone important died. He obviously figured out a solution but I never got round to watching it.


American Horror Story: I made it through the first haunted house, the asylum, the carnival of freaks, a really dodgy hotel featuring Lady Gaga and some twisted flesh eating rednecks in the woods but I think that's where my journey with this series ended. I may go back to this one though because each series is its own timeline so at least I'll know the stories are fresh.

Lost: I turned up midway through the season, watched a couple of episodes and ended up completely confused so never bothered to start from the beginning. Apparently this show has frustrated many for so long now. 

And finally:


Person of Interest: Remember the software that would pick out people that had something major happening to them in the near future? Yeah, I barely do. But I remember I did enjoy this for a time, especially with Jim Caviezel at the helm. Why did I stop though? Well you'd have to time trip back to circa 2009 and ask me direct because I don't remember..

But on that note: 

TV SHOWS I DID FINISH (AND REGRET MAKING IT TO THE END)

Terranova - Not enough dinosaurs, too much drama.

Under the Dome - Made little sense from start to finish. 

Into the Badlands - Started off great but like so many shows, went off on a random tangent when it introduced new characters and never got back to its original greatness. Nick Frost as a Martial Arts master was entertaining though.



LASTLY, DON'T HATE THE PLAYERS

I saw this on Facebook this morning and it's worth echoing here: The problems Optus are having currently with the hackers gaining access to 9.8 million users personal data is not the fault of those manning the counter at your local Optus store

Those people have as much control over internet security for the company as the cleaner does and really don't need customers both current coming in and keen hauling them over that fact. Yes it's annoying, yes it's frustrating having to change your details because someone with too much time on their hands broke in and grabbed your details, I get that. But yelling, screaming and acting like there's not enough sauce on your Dinosaur Nuggets like a three year old isn't going to help anyone. Send a well written complaint through the website, sure. Switch providers if you feel like doing that. But don't give the nearest staff member both barrels simply because they're wearing an Optus logo - they're not there to be nor are they not paid to be your telco troubles frustration punching bag.   

Patience people, we'll get there together. Maybe we'll finish another tv show while we wait?

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Mortal Engines for the Emperor!

Now maybe it's just me and maybe I've read far too much into the Warhammer 40K lore and universe...but I'm seeing a lot of parallels between it and the now available on Netflix movie Mortal Engines..

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...
