Overdue

Well, I've been up to a lot since last I had the internet. I've been robbed by gypsies, been stalked by an ostrich, taken 3 BBC producers on a boat ride through islands of angry monkeys, found cash work, knocked my finger nail so hard it's in the process of falling off, broken irreplaceable crystal, met and dinned with famous actors and politicians. The list really does go on and on, but I won't bore you with the details.

That's not what this post is about. This post is about the quality work that I've been doing here in Delgany. For example take this first picture here...
This is what the old barn looked like through the small door in the back when I arrived. As you can see it's a shambles and a terrible mess. Nothing lovely, quaint, nor romantic about it at all. Then, after 1 day I managed to sort things out and create this...
A much more picturesque and useful space to house this curious little pooch who's wandered by to see what all the fuss is about. All in all I'd say I'd not done bad for a days work!

(Incidentally that's the neighbour's dog and his name is Pie Face.)

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!
