What in the world...

I don't really know what to say about this. Please watch it and leave your thoughts as comments.

Actually, perhaps it's best that some of you (you'll know who you are) do NOT leave their thoughts as comments. After this video, I'm not sure how much more I can take!

Adventures on the horizon

For the time being I'll be leaving Galway, and heading once again for Ireland's east coast, and the county of Wicklow! I've been out that way once before, and spent some time at Carraig Dulra living in a yurt and enjoying life out of doors! And as it happens, I was told that I could rock up again for a visit and don't need to give notice.

So that's what I'm gonna do. I gave 'em the heads up but not even I know exactly when I'm gonna arrive!

Then, (or possibly before) I've been invited to a monkey santuary, also in Wicklow, to help fix a shack. This task involves me making a small amount of money which is more than welcome, and also the opportunity to learn to sail!

So for the next month or so that's what I'll be up to. Possibly longer as there's a family fun park in the area that, apparently, might be inclined to hire someone such as myself. In case you've not picked up on the pattern here, my cash flow has flowed a little more freely than I'd realized up 'till recently!

Enjoying the good life

Last night I went to the Crane Bar, in Galway's west side, to say farewell to a Swiss friend of mine. I've often been to the Crane as it has the best, and cheapest pint of Guiness in the city. (This fact is of course open to contestation.)

The difference was, this time I really listened to the music, and it was very good! I've often thought it very special and lucky to be able to hear music like this any given day of the week, but have rarely actually sat down and appreciated it. Last night I did just that, and broke down to do the 'tourist' thing a take a video of the whole thing.

Anyone wanting to visit is more than welcome!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Galway, Ireland!

My new Facebook App.

I made a sweet ass application! You should log into facebook and then follow this link and take it. Then you should come back here and leave me a comment to let me know how it all turned out!

It's a very insightfull quiz regarding your soul's archetype. That's right, souls have archetypes! And this quiz will clarify for you which is yours!

Aha

Done! The match is over (and it was a good one, unless you're big into Man. U.). But more importantly...

The update is done and up!

Let me know what you think of it!

I'd also like to add a little context to the picture I've selected for my profile. I know it's horribly unflattering, and that's why I picked it. It's important when viewing the picture to remember that I was not horribly sick, vomitously drunk, or dead when it was taken. It was just a bad moment to pull the trigger.

God it's terrible!

Sh*tty Blog

This blog is pretty shitty at the moment I know. I'm casually working on an update that's not only much cooler, but should be much easier to read! It's not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but I can't be arsed to learn enough code to rewrite the whole thing the way I'd like to see it.

I can't even write this entry because it's the Manchester United vs. Liverpool match on at the moment and it's actually pretty good.

The crux of this post however is hold on, and keep the faith. This blog is going to be better soon!

Travel Journal

So here's the deal. Last time I came abroad I kept a pretty good travel journal. It turned out to be an amazing pain in my ass, so this time I've been more neglect. This has turned out to be a stupid choice as now I have no written record of my adventures. And to compound the problem I've been updating my blog about as often as I experience sunny days in Ireland.



SO...



For now I'm not going to chronicle anything. going to contribute a picture of me and my old shoes at Fiona's birthday party, and a link to a cool music video I found on my Uncle's you tube channel. The man in the video is NOT my uncle.
