I've been feeling a little under the weather. Shortly after my morning run the other day I began feeling ill--- queasy stomach, terrible headache and sinus pressure. Oh, the sinus pressure is the worst. I blame our unbalanced weather. One day the weather doesn't require you to wear a coat while the next day you need your mitts and scarf!
I'm feeling a little better today. My stomach has settled down but the sinus pain and pressure is still there.
So far the medicine I've been taking has failed in getting rid of the pain but then again it's only been one day.
TV presenter Paul Rosolie who has been dubbed the 'Indiana Jones of the Amazon' has allowed himself to be swallowed alive by a snake for a documentary. The naturalist fed himself to a 30ft green anaconda in the Amazon jungle. However, the 26-year-old American took the precaution of donning a special snake-proof suit he devised to protect against the creature’s digestive juices.
Hmm, a special snake-proof suit? I wonder if Bass Pro Shop sells them?
It is believed he was covered in pig’s blood to make himself appetizing to anacondas, which usually eat wild pigs, deer, capybaras and caiman, and was pulled out by a cord attached to the suit. The Discovery Channel, which will air "Eaten Alive" on December 7th, have been tight-lipped about the outcome of the stunt. But insiders said the snake did not die and Rosolie has since tweeted in response to animal lovers who have accused him of cruelty and demanded the show be axed. A petition started by A Change.org has sprung up and is close to its goal of collecting 500 signatures.
"This is animal abuse to the highest degree and absolutely disgusting, and could kill the snake - an adult green anaconda cannot fit the width of an adult man's shoulders into it's body,' reads the petition."
Mr Rosolie responded to fears people may have over the snake’s well-being in a tweet, saying: “If you know me - I would never hurt a living thing. But you'll have to watch #EatenAlive to find out how it goes down!”
The outlandish premise has prompted skepticism from some, who have questioned whether such an experiment is even physically possible. Others have suggested it could all be an elaborate hoax involving mechanical snakes and special effects.
But representative from the Discovery channel assured Entertainment Weekly that it's all real.
Hey, if Nik Wallenda successfully completed a tightrope walk in Chicago while blindfolded I don't see why a man can't be swallowed alive by a gigantic snake and live to tell about it, however Bart Simpson did it first.
Episode: Blame It On Lisa
In a promotional video for the special, Rosolie can be seen clad in the bulky suit, tussling with a huge snake.
I for one will be watching the special. So my loyal readers, what are your thoughts on this one?
Could this all be real or is it indeed a hoax that even David Copperfield would be impressed by?

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a sparkling weekend.~x
