V is for Venerial Disease

2006-03-20T18:07:00.000Z

Thats probably a tad harsh.

Actually no its not.I saw V For Vendetta lastnight and fuck me sideways with a length of wavin piping but it was the worst Alan Moore adaptation to date, not just because it was bad but because I had some sort of hope that they wouldnt fuck things up as badly as they did.

Find a bookstore.Ask for V for Vendetta.Read it.Dont go to the cinema.

However as for Natilie Portman....how can I put this....I'd like...to plow her.

Enough of that though.

Hopefully everyone had a good Paddies weekend.Im still recovering from 4 days straight worth of good times and alcohol.

There are some missing patchy moments but I assume nothing that bad happened but I apologise if anything did.

Also a fond farewell to my friend Stephen who is about to embark on a year long journey to Korea to teach children English.He may or may not find his way over here from Bebo.

Had a fantastic few days drinkin with him.

Anyway.Till the next time.

iFucked

2006-02-13T14:32:00.000Z

So ya I'm now on my 3rd mp3 player in the space of about a month??Ya thats about it.

To those not in the know the iPod I got a week ago commited electronic suicide last Thursday morning hanging itself half way through The New Pornographers "Bleeding Heart Show".

So then after much cursing and time wasting with Apple tech and customer support those happy go lucky wasters at O2 Galway decided that yes Aidan would get a new shiny iPod and he shall go to the 30gb musical ball/iParty.

Anyway I finally got all my stuff on it last night so if it craps out again I'm going to personaly travel to California and burn Apple to the ground and then perhaps skull fuck Steve Jobs in the eye-socket with the 30gb iPod.

But coming back to more serious and fun things I havent had such a good weekend as the last weekend in a good long time.It was my friend Mikes 21st and he decided to have it in the old pub at the back of his house.

We started drinking at about 9 and then finished up at 6:30 the next morning.Fantastic time had by all.I havent seen some of those people in well over a year and catching up with them was fantastic.I was absolutely destroyed after it though and needed to spend most of Sunday in bed.All worth it though.

Next weekend however is Stephens 21st and the week after is another school friends 21st so I'm hoping things can only get better.Either that or I'm going to die with a smile on my face choking on my tongue knee deep in my own vomit.

As Stephen would say "What an age we live in...."

The Week in News

2006-02-09T10:17:00.000Z

Well another week has come and gone.

Singstar 80's is my new addiction.Or rather baiting people into arguments or fights in between rounds of Simple Minds "Don't you(forget about me) and Blondie's "Atomic".The upcoming Ragweek is gonna be very very interesting....

No idea what singstar is?Go here to find out more http://www.nz.playstation.com/playstation_2/software/s/singstar_80s.jhtml

In other news I recieved my Group Project marks from Dr.Bob and I scored a nice healthy A+

Finally my Dad can now look forward to purchasing the "My Child is on the Honor Roll, How bout Yours??" bumper sticker he has been pining for all his life, as it seems things can go nowhere but up from here for me!!

So basically all there has been this week is interactive karioke(sp??) and stoneage.Ah well.Good enough then.

Upcoming events: Rag Week and some gigs I cant talk about quite yet.

So ya...

I got a 30gb iPod.

So i guess plug me into the central server or something as I'm now just like everyone else on the street.

Also iTunes is the FUCKING devil.

iPod wont work without it and as media programs go it is a piece of shit as I have to convert a shit-load of my music files.

Also the music quality from the ear plugs is shit compared to the Zen.Fix it apple.Hopefully my old Sony plugs will work ok with it.

Anyway it seems my poor Zen couldnt be fixed and if I wanted another one i'd have to wait 2 fucking months so instead I had to settle for an iPod...

I feel so soul-less already....

BUZZ!!!

2006-02-01T17:02:00.000Z

Its the new reason to hate your friends!!!

Ya so Sinead decided to unwrap her brothers christmas present last night before dinner and well....to say things degraded from there would be correct.

To those uninformed Buzz is and interactive Music Quiz/Gameshow for the PS2 and can have 4 players.After about 2 games of it we all began to hate each other.The Meehan and The Joyce being the most underhanded of all until they turned against each other for points.

We will be using Buzz in some shape or form for interactive drinking games durning the upcoming Rag Week.Also Donkey Konga and I have heard rumours of Singstar 80's being used to further chip away any sort of dignity we may or may not have in some cases.

Also bravo to Jonathan last night for cooking dinner.I think thats the first time all of us have been in the same room in ages and having food cooked in our kitchen is another bizarre happening.

I suppose a happy new year is in order since this is the first post of 2006.

Things are settling down again and becoming more normal...I suppose that would be the word to discribe the current mood of things...after the stuff that happened around new years.Cant say im completely ok after it but I suppose thats a post for another day when Im feeling drunk and emotional.

Its also exam season.Im finished mine and I can safely say I did rather poorly in each exam but i really dont care about them to be honest.Best of look to the others who havent finished yet.

So...this is it then eh?

2005-12-18T18:44:00.000Z

Its cold here.Very fucking cold.

Also a pox on PC World for having run out of 20gb Creative Zen sleaks.WHERE AM I TO DUMP MY VAST MUSIC COLLECTION NOW!

First person to say Ipod I will punch them in the throat until one of us hemorages!

Ok so what the fuck to talk about?

Well first of al the.magazine will be changing its name to Fractal Matter in January so look out for that.I believe there is some nice things on offer there.

Tomorrow I venture to Dublin in the hope of finishing my christmas shopping as so far I'm behind on things.I also need to start VB.net aswell as studying for the other exams I have in January.

Fuck.

Oh well nothing to do now except look forward to christmas dinner next Sunday and everything that comes with it.

Also the Dinner on Thursday should be damn good aswell.Im expecting to be wowed beyond belief if you're reading this Tom.

So last thursady night I brought my camera out with me and the following are some of the stuff I got with it.

Its pretty good.Galway was a strange place that night as on 3 seperate occasions somebody tried to start a fight with me and thats the first time in a long time anyone has tried to start with me.

I think its because of the christmas.It brings out the crazies and generally the fools I'd rather not interact with.

So then.

I look very...I dont know...deep?Here dont I..Obviously this is the begining of the night.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of the year.Taken drunkenly in my room as we watched Family Guy while waiting for a cab.Good times, good times.

The more I look and think the more I believe Conner is in fact the Joker.Look and despare children as this is what Jagger-Bombs do.They make sane hetrosexual men crazy and gay.Goodlord those Jagger-Bombs were good.

One of the more quieter saner moments of the night.I believe this was before some guy tried to start a fight with Connor but then my large man frame body thing got in his way and he backed down.Lordy but my hair looks fantastic.

The money shot.I have no idea how I managed to take this picture so well considering I was fairly hammered at the time it came out quite well.

I have no idea what Gally and Dave are doing here.Laughing or singing?Answers on a postcard to....

Amie and I look very paranoided there...I wonder why that is...

I think this is the first time I've ever seen Lyna(right) in a club.Ruth(left) took the night off from supermacs to be with us.Needless to say the drunken fried chicken feast afterwards was not half as tastey.

More drunken camera shinanigans that I have no clear memory of.

Amie and Tess looking hammered.Well done ladies your efforts warm the depths of the rotten black hole I call a heart.

Money Shot mark 2.This one didnt capture everyone there as I had hoped but fuck it I was lucky to be able to do anything at that stage.Look Joey also joined us.What happened to her that night?She vanished.

So there we have it.Many memories.Many black holes in my memory filled.

Huzzah!

My brain is 5 times to swollen for my head this morning...

My body is trying to reject me and it feels like something has thrown up on my very soul...

Yes I was drinking heavily last night.I dont know how Johnny and Amie feel but I feel like a wet bag of shit at the moment.

Stupidly Im trying to piece together last night and all I can remember is long conversations cut up by drinking and chicken.

Once again Gold-Slagger has cut me deep the morning after....but I cant stay mad at it though...

Also Sinead is going home to Navan for christmas today.I wish she stayied around longer.She didnt even get to see the christmas lights I got for the sitting room.They is pretty.

Landlady called over yesterday aswell and gave us a huge tin of chocolate and wine.

I just remembered Johnny and I drank the wine lastnight.....

Oh well.

I dont believe I have anything else to say except Im now away to the house of meat with Cleveland(Seans new nickname)for some soakage and perhaps freedom from this horrible condition.

New episode of Lost is taking its sweet time to get encoded so I can watch it.

May aswell update the blog.

Day off for college graduations and tomorrow off aswell.Also get to meet old man Duffy for the first time aswell.Needless to say we're all excited about that as Amie has kept him hidden away from us...but tomorrow...tomorrow we get to meet him.Good luck to Amie at Graduation too.Make your brothers proud girl.You'll do great.

Had a fucking brilliant night on Tuesday.Went to see Bloc Party with Tess and got rigt up the front.I could practically taste the sweat from the band!The light show they put on almost blinded me but it was fucking great.Their music also sounded better live than it does on the album Silent Alarm.

I have to say this wireless thing is great as i can just lie in bed and do this anymore.Most relaxing I have to say.

My big presentation is next week.I have to get a suit in the worst way.Or perhaps a tie and pants since I have a nice jacket and shirt...hmm.I'll have to investigate this later today as its GRANT DAY!

Looking around I really should clean my room....fuck it....it's not that bad.Everything is in a nice pile where I can get at them.

I should go and check on Lost now...

2005-10-28T01:42:00.000+01:00

I have internet at home.

FUCKING FINALLY!

Digital TV also.Discovery 5 is not so good...but I have high hopes...but not really...

Anyway.

Cast your minds back to the 20th of October in the Roisin Dubh.Truely a magical time and place in all our minds.

Fred.

Here are the pictures.

Enjoy.

Niall Connelly kicked things off.

My attempts to blind Joe with the flash of my camera were almost successful.Curse his successful ploy of closing his eyes.

Essentially the same picture but Eibhilín and Jammin fierce dynamic no?

The milky-bar kid grew up and now he flogs beer and Jameson.I hear he plays in a band on the weekends.

Get down and give praise to the Jamie!Fine purveyor of The Funk(tm) and look at that fine guitar holding!

"Rock and roll is so very hard..."

"..oh so hard"

"LORDY LORD LORD!I CAN'T GO ON!!" (Joe doing his best James Brown impersonation...ok not really...but really...in photo form)

Isn't she lovely?

Fred play dead.

Joe and Jamin.The picture speaks for itself.I need say nothing more.

And yea Jamie did say:"JOESEPH!GET THINE SHINY HEAD BETWEEN MY LEGS FOR WE SHALL JOURNEY ROUND THE ROISIN!"...or Im sure he would have said something along those lines but instead nodded.But we all knew he wanted to say it...

...and so they did stumble forth and did bring the rock to the people in the Roisin's audience...

...and then back to the stage to finish off the set.

They were joined by Niall Connelly for an ending.

And look.ITS STEPH!!HEY STEPH!! *Waves back*

On behalf of NED! thank you Fred.Our numbers swell and its only a mater of time until we can be considered a proper religion.And then?

Tax breaks.

Sweet fat Tax breaks baby!

Thats all folks.Until next time.Same bat-time.Same bat-channel.

Im thinking of changing a few things around here.

First of all, Im worried about security.

Today is a pretty ok day...

BUT...

There are terrorists out there just waiting to take my freedom away from me, put it in a brown burlap sack and beat it with rabid stoats until it subbmits to their nazi, communist, devil worshipping ways!(or so Im being led to believe by the media)

So in accordance I'm raising the terror alert level of this blog to yellow.

Let those bastards just try something now....the shovel and I await their move...

Tomorrow I give Bob a glimpse of my own brillance.My group web-site program thingy do-dad gets a test run.

Yay.

It'll go fine though.I just hope the rest of the "group" hold up their end of things...lest they meet the same fate as the others...

And now for something completely different....

I warned you all in previous posts...I have pictures...well..guess what time it is?

PICTURE TIME!

Spongebob gets jiggy with a thomas the tank engine cake.Feel the love Thomas.Right in the ass!

BEHOLD!Mikes mighty mouth!

Im not quite sure what they're listening to....but Gary frightens me for some reason...

Look at all the happy people.Completely fucked.

2005-09-28T16:07:00.000+01:00

it was the blurst of times...

Blurst??

I'll have to get rid of the monkeys.Continue the research though.

So last night was the best of both worlds.Pleasure and pain.Yes indeed.I warn you now though readers...those of you with conservative mindsets and medical conditions may want to stop reading now as things may get to much for you down the page with all the ball grabing and discharge both emotional and physical

Still with me?

Tastey Tastey...

So things started out innocently enough in CR1.It was a regular Monday evening going through the motions...when we came upon it..

Final Fantasy:Advent Children and Lost Season 2 episode 1.

Our course was set.An evening drinking and enjoying the fruits of geekdom so quickly to the alcohol depository we went to get loaded and then back to the house.

Advent Children was fan-fucking-tastic.

Strangley though the lights went out in the room when we began to watch and there was only 5 of us but when they came back on there were 12 or so people packed into the room and I have no idea where the others came from except they were there to play poker with Bob.

So nicely sauced Gary,Mike,Amie(see I spelt your name correctly!),Johnny and I went into town to meet Ned in the Blue Note for more beer and burgers.Saw Ned blinked and she was gone.truely earning the name Shadow.More beer.Leave and merryly jaunt to Cuba.

We got in and what happened next can only be discribed as the gayest(In the both happy and Homosexual way) night I have had out in ages.Mike, Gary and I polished off a bottle of Goldslagger in the club and I have to say I'm quite taken with the drink but its quite a sneaky and cheeky little tiple that lies in wait and then

SMACK!

Just like being hit with a frozen carp across the side of the head your drunk and dancing the tango at championship level with Gary!

Then came more dancing,nipple rubing,more beer,profuse sweating,beer,group humping,smacking people and dancing and then Mikes balls were molested by some girl(or a very effeminate boy) and the night was over in a flash.

It was quite a good night.Although I paid for it this morning.Limbs and other parts are in pain and now Toms cooking dinner so I'd better make my way to that.

I have to say im having fun learning html with Dr.Bob.

I plan on making him explode with amazement some day....maybe tomorrow...

Also readers watch the GMIT Whats happening sheet to see my abridged and edited version(which I edited marvelously what I was given)of the record breaking basketball game last Friday.

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

by John Cleese

To the citizens of the United States of America, in the light of your
failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern
yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence,
effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over
all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does
not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for
the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world
outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need
for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be
circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the
transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced
with immediate effect:

1. You should look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look
up aluminium. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how
wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in
words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing
more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell
'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair
with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix ize will be
replaced by the suffix ise. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is
pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as
'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up
vocabulary. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler
noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable andinefficient form
of communication.

Look up interspersed. There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer
show. If you're not old enough
to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn
to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often.

2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of
the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It
really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to
cockney,upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also
have to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as
Taggart will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking
about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in
England. The name of the county is Devon. If you persist in calling it
Devonshire, all American States will become shires e.g. Texasshire,
Floridashire, Louisianashire.

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English
characters. British sit-coms such as Men Behaving Badly or Red Dwarf will
not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who
can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.

5. You should relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen but
only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused
and give up half way through.

6. You should stop playing American football. There is only one kind of
football. What you refer to as American football is not a very good game.
The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders
may have noticed that no one else plays American football. You will no
longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult
game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
(which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for
a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by
2005. You
should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called
the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Since
only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders,your
error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a
girls' game called rounders, which is baseball without fancy team strip,
oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be
allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable
peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle
potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry
a vegetable peeler in public.

8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new
national holiday, but only in England. It will be called Indecisive Day.

9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own
good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All
road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving
on the left with immediate effect. At the same time,you will go metric with
immediate effect and conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will
help you understand the British sense of humour.

10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries
are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though 97.85%
of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not
aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato
chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut and fried in
animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be
served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with
customers.

11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all
tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be
doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer
at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be
referred to as beer,and European brews of known and accepted provenance will
be referred to as Lager. The substances formerly known as American Beer will
henceforth be referred to as Near-Frozen Knat's Urine,with the exception of
the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred
to as Weak Near-Frozen Knat's Urine. This will allow true Budweiser (as
manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen,Czech Republic) to be sold
without risk of confusion.

13. From November 10th the UK will harmonise petrol (or Gasoline, as you
will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with the
former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and
the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US
gallon- get used to it).

14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or
therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that
you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by
adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone
or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Back pains: The new cool this season!

2005-08-26T22:46:00.000+01:00

Jesus H Christ on a bike but I'm in pain!

Nothing is working!

Painkillers, herbal remedies, deep heat musscle relaxant, the 6 blondes I got to walk across my back in spiked heels!

No,Nothing, Nada, an erection which I didnt need but quite enjoyed anyway...cos...ya know it was there starring me in the face!

I think I may have slipped a disc or at least seriously hurt it just under my shoulder blade area from working.It currently hurts to breath so It looks like I may be forced to go...

...To the Doctor.....

40 minutes to an Hour and a half I know I will have to wait spent in the company of people that should have died years ago but live to spite their relatives, then get rushed in to the doctor, told drop your pants even though the pain is in my back and then get poked, proded,hmmed and "that is strange"ed.All of which will take a good 5 minutes and then chances are I'll be sent to casualty for an X-Ray "Just to be sure" because the good doctor no likey any sort of legal action if they fuck up...Que me sitting in casualty chances are beside some STD* riddled skanger that had a fight at the reception when he/she/it was marrying their sister/brother/cousin/father who wont SHUT THE FUCK UP about how they're goin to "burst" said attacker after the bleeding stops.Then its X-Ray, snotty medical types and get told "Its just a strained musscle and there was no need to come in at all".

Well done Pottsy.

Yes the pain is making me a bitter man.More so than I ususally am...

BAH!

Why couldnt I just get the "shits" like Peter Navan. *Wink Wink in Neds direction*

College is soon.I dont know if thats good or bad since I saved absolutely NOTHING this summer and instead paid bills,drank and bought crap.Pretty crap but crap none the less.Well except for the blazers I bought.They're shit hot.

Also we all need to spend a night in experimenting with magic mushrooms that can be purchased from the new mushroom shop in galway.Mexican mushrooms all the way.

Family Guy movie.I have it in my hands as I speak this sentence and now type it with one hand.Funny.I'm looking into making copies for everyone.Its a Vcd so give me some time as I dont have the conversion software....yet....

Looking forward to moving in with Bob, Jonny and Sinead.We must have a fry at least once a week on par with the one seen last Wednesday and then get twice as drunk as we got on wednesday.I have pictures.Many pretty pictures.I promise to devote a post in the coming days to pictures.Some photoshoped....some not.All hilariously homo erotic and layered with Freudian subtext.With themes varying from transvestite shock porn and the lost art of donkey punching to springtime uber freshness with dashes of bukakke like smiles running across the faces of young discerning adults about town.

No I have no idea what I just wrote either but perhaps the the painkillers are beginging to take hold!

Tasty, Tasty.....

I passed all my exams.I must now do nothing until September.

I've been dinking for the last 2 days.Work tomorrow.Yay.

No point listing the ways in which how shit my weekend was.

Did some student stealing last week.Got me a Batman Begins poser from a bus shelter.It'll barely fit on my wall.I have to say the stealing part was some of my finest work ever.Didnt even rip the poser.Everything was just quick and smooth.

It made me want to rip off dawn daries.Of course there was nobody around willing to endulge my devient side at the time.I miss you guys pushing me to do stupid things!

I also got the first series of Lost last week.Wow.Thats some great TV.

They need to make season 2 quickly.

So ya this is all I have to say currently really.

Yay.

You've served me well through the good times, the bad times, the times sean thought you where an airplane and all those other times he was over.

We've shared many a load together you and I, if I could bring you with me I would...but sadly ours was a love that could not last.

Do not weep my friend.Please remember the good times....

2005-06-06T00:19:00.000+01:00

Howdy.

Hey.

Hello.

I'm never quite sure how to start these things off.

So then.

Away we go.

“Welcome to hangoverland. Population. Me. Enjoy your stay as today we will mostly be dying a small and quiet death as brain cells continue to commit suicide under the strain of the abuse I put them through last night.”

*Over the course of this post photos shall be thrown in from the past year.*

Ya so I have fuck all to do today except curl into a ball and die so I decided why not update the old blog since I haven’t done that in awhile.

Ya so what to talk about. Hmm. I have no idea to be honest but I’m sure if I concentrate hard enough I can think of something to ramble on about. See already I’m rambling on about nothing . Fantastic.

So Vodafone finally cut my cell phone off. I swear, you don’t pay one bill and then all of a sudden I’m not allowed to use their services. Those bastards. THEY’RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME!!NOTHING!

The worst thing about it is it only compounds my own sense of isolation here.

Last night was an exercise in no longer fitting in. The test subjects were me and my mate Stephen who is off to Spain for the summer. Bastard. Utter Bastard.

Don’t get me wrong. I still have some friends here but last night proved that without Stephen the summer around here is going to be somewhat harder as I am now more of an outcast since I don’t play football like my other friends. I stuck out like a sore thumb last night as all that was talked about was local football. The GAA has a lot to answer for. So basically it was just Stephen and I talking shite about stuff while the others prattled on like football was the most important thing in their lives and I’m sure it is.

Also got a call from Sean and Sinead having fun in Navan if such a thing seems possible. Big thick Navan accents on everybody. You guys should have gone to Solar.

Work is passing fairly quickly. I enjoy the extra responsibilities but the town is wearing me thin. This harkens me back to my strange love hate relationship I have for this place. The hate side is beginning to win though.

I’m almost all moved out of Galway. I have no room in my room. I have accumulated far too much stuff. On a whim the other night as I moved back in I rearranged my bookshelf. That wasn’t the best idea however I did create a rather kick ass fort out of the various books and comic books at 2 in the morning. I should have taken a picture.

I was going through photos the other evening. I need to start taking more pictures. I think I’ll buy a digital camera this summer and start recording my life through a lens. I could be quite good at photography I think. It would definitely be an interesting hobby.

The worst thing about free time and isolation is I’m forced to look at myself. Inward, outward, from afar, up close. It wrecks my head thinking about myself and my life. Wondering what will become of me. Wondering what became of me. I’m not sleeping very well again. Strange dreams. A huge sense of defeat hovers around me and I cant seem to shake it. I feel like smashing my head off the wall, maybe that will give me some sort of clarity. Knock everything into place. Or perhaps finally bring everything toppling down. Its hard to know which one I’d prefer. I need rest.

There is no us. There is no you. There is no me. There is no real reality. We are instead the twisted dreams and delusions of a 48 year old accountant named Bob who had a nervous break down after the copy machine ran out of ink. Bob now lives in a charming institution in the countryside where he dreams us into being for 18 hours a day. For the other 6 hours he talks to his imaginary pet cactus named Petey about the sad people that live in his head and how God is in fact just a cosmic copy machine creating poor quality copies of people who are all the same except for the little differences on the surface to tell them apart. Bobs favourite day is jello Tuesday.

I've no work tomorrow and I'm getting paid. Yay. I have no idea what I'm gonna do though. Catch up on a few things hopefully.

Strangest thing happened to me last week. I was eating dinner with my Dad and he started choking. I mean really choking. I could see the colour of his face changing. I managed to get him to cough it up with the heim-whateva-you-call-it manuver. I was really panicking while this was happening though. In the space of less than a minute I had run through every outcome imaginable in my head. It freaked me out. I genuinely felt a sense of fear that I hadnt felt in a long time. I was so afraid of loosing another parent.

I think I should sleep now.

There and back again.

2005-05-22T22:51:00.000+01:00

So.

It started with quite a bang and ended with Catrionas apartment. There maybe some slightly bitter irony present in this update I’m not quite sure yet.

I’m not just taking about last Thursday in general but rather the last year in college. Like every year there’s up’s downs and in-betweens but really last year started so well. How did it end. Pretty Meh actually. (I take this time to bow to Sineads prediction on Thursday being shite. Good show old chum)

Without sounding too much like The Wonder Years we all definitely changed this year and things probably wont be quite the same again. People came and went. Others refused to leave. Then other people just drifted apart. I dunno it’s like there’s a weird invisible wedge between some of us.

It’s been a strange year. For me anyway. I passed programming. All I’m waiting on now is Math. A fucking cunt of a subject.

Anybody else pissed off with their summer arrangements? I know I am. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to take living at home for 3 months. This last weekend has been hard enough with the realisation that this is what its gonna be like for the next 3 months. I feel like that old saying.

“You can never go home again”

Except I’m not sure this is my home anymore. I don’t feel like there’s anything really here for me. At the moment all I know for sure is that it was a mistake staying here for the summer. I need to get away from things.

I begin work again tomorrow. That’s not gonna help my mood at all. Be prepared for “Tales from the shop floor” in which I channel all the anger and rage from my day job into word bile on this blog.

I already miss the playground.

Fuck.

My Life in Stereo and Technicolor

2005-04-23T19:31:00.000+01:00

It's been ages since I updated this damn thing so I've got time now so hey why not take a trip down memory lane that has been the last week and a half which has been rather good to be honest.

First off I got a copy of the movie Sin City completely by suprise as its not in the Irish cinemas until June and I have to say.

Wow.What a film.It's the perfect comic book movie.I've watched it more than 10 times in the past week and I'm not getting tired of it.Mickey Rourke was born to play Marv.

Those of you unfamilar with Sin City get thy selves to a comic book store and start reading Frank Millers masterpiece.

Ok so next up there was the Kerbdog gig in the Rosin Dubh on Friday night.It was fucking electric.I havent been that entertained by a live band in a long long time.Kerbdog need to go back to the studio and record new stuff.Managed to get up the front for the gig and it was mental.Got some good pictures of the band aswell with my moble phone camera.

The brillant 3 piece Kerbdog in action.

The lead singer Cormac Battle(cool name!) in action.

If anybody wants to hear Kerbdog get in touch with me and I'll fix you up.

Ok so after that I spent most of my time in the next few days watching Sin City and trying to study for Maths.

Then one evening being the curious sort of chap I am I decided to have a look round the computer network where I live.First of all I found a shit load of music.

Then 149 movies of porn.

The week gets better and better when we realise we can play Worms over the network oh and all that porn we found in Warrens computer.I'd suggest Warren has a problem but....if it means more free porn then who am I to judge him??

Although I can never look at a cream pie again without exploding in a fit of laughter.Seans with me on this too.

Then the next few days were sunny.Wednesday was a great day.It was one of those days that makes you happy to be alive and have nothing to do except walk around town from playground to playground causing madness and mayhem along the way.That day/evening we went to three playgrounds all over Galway I think simply beacuse it was so nice outside.That and we were bored.Props to Dave though for getting us t owalk out to the one in Salthill.The beach was quite cool too.I dont go there enough.

LOOK!Three idiots on....I'm actually not sure what it is....but I do know one thing...it felt good...and thats all I know.

It's pity that heritage Stephanie and Rai(or is it Ray?I'm gonna leave it at Rai cos the I looks cooler) went home early.they would have enjoyed the park even if we would have embarassed them like the choclate milk incident...but the less said about that the better.

Still on the damn thing.I really dug the psychedelic floor.All the pretty colours.We should go there stoned sometime and freak out.By the way I know we were being immature but hey.Fuck you all!

That picture is for those of you scoffing at our childishness.That and I've been sorta waiting to use it for ages.

So the next playground in Salthill was cool.We also made a new friend on the way there well i suppose you could say we made two actually.Little dude Cathel and Peter Navan.Im not sure who was more entertaining but Peter is edging into the lead.

No actually I think I was the most entertaining when I silenced the faux-goth teenagers that Dave knew without resorting to violence.Be proud of me people.

Sinead(Peter Navan) on her noble steed in the final park where we all stayed till darkness.Sorry for getting on smaller See-Saw thing but hey it made Amie laugh so it's was all good except of course if you were flung from it or something.

Then there was the See-Saw...

Oh the See-Saw..

Im not sure why this was in a Childrens park...but I can safely say Sean and Dave are now incapable of having children after using this...Contraption...I suppose would be the best word for it.I didnt get on it.But hey my penis still works so that's all that matters

I also took loads of video.Im gonna have to get some server space so I can load it up here for you all to see.

Oh and the cup swing thing was the funest most relaxing thing I've been on in awhile.Must do it again sometime.

So reflection time.

Why spend the day acting the fool.Because we need to.Its a great way to relieve stress.I completely forgot anything that was bothering me like college.

So everybody I recomend just going a bit mad every now and again.Do it in the company of good friends.

It's great for your state of mind and mood even if it does tire you out.

I would like to dedicate this blog entry to a man with what appears to be infinite wisdom.....wisdom and cunning.....cunning enough to beat me fair and square.

Yes indeed true believers I was beaten.

And boy.

Did I EVER feel foolish....

So here is the man....no the legend.The one.The only.

Dave Kenny ladies and gentlemen!

*awed hush of silence*

Yes Dave beat me fair and square by drinking his drink quicker than I after he bought it for me.Oh yes I felt quite the loser being left with two drinks and the goal of getting drunker get even closer.

I surely will think before I do this again.

Also something stupid I found online:

http://vhost.oddcast.com/vhost_minisite/demos/tts/tts_example.html

Go there and make the computer say whatever you like.

Such favorite so far include:

"Aidan you are so much better than everyone in the world combined"

"I may have just pooped myself"

"Amie Duffy loves jam!"

"Sean O'Dwyer is gay"(Check and mate I think my good friend!Muahahha!)

"Sinead Meehan should stay in galway because Aidan is better than all of you combined and navan is a heavan of wannabe Kells people in their 'Hood' and it wreaks of poo so there im right and you're all wrong"

"My lovely horse my lovely horse running through the fields where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?I want to shower you with sugar lumps and ride you over fences. Polish your hooves every single day and take you to the horse dentist"

And you all get the idea now...

So that is what I submit so far.Now back to cooking Diner and playing the 12th hole on Panda Golf.

That Monday Feeling

2005-04-11T21:01:00.000+01:00

Gah!

BAH!

And other obsenities and moodyness.

Mondays arent worth a fucking damn.We should abolish them from our calenders and have a six day week instead!

We'd all feel better starting the week on a Tuesday.

So its been awhile since I updated.What have I been up to?Well recovering from a chest infection for one.Then trying to study for Maths and Programing.Something im still trying to do.

Oh ya and being completely and utterly drunk.

There were other things of course.Far too many and depressing to list so I dont think I'll get into that yet....if at all.

My MSN has gone absolutly haywire.As have a few other programs on my laptop so if anybody has any idea why dont be afraid to talk up.

So what have I to say now....Well...fuck all really.

I just finished a Dominos.On my own.Not only am I now the fattest person here but the saddest!

But god damn it was good....If I die tonight....I die happy.

Ryan Adams: Come Pick Me Up.

When they call your name

Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater

With an old love letter
I wish you would

I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you would
When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine

You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you would
I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
I wish I could

I love that song.Im not quite sure why but I fucking love it.I think its because of just the way im feeling at the moment.

I feel like I should be doing something with this Blog apart from random rambling and feeling sorry for myself....I just dont know what yet.

Went to see Rodrigo y Gabriela on sunday night in The Black Box(strangely positioned on Dyke Road...make of that what you will).Fantastic gig, I cant sing their praises enough.

Go to www.rodgab.com

Download some of the free MP3's there and expand your musical tastes people!

Next gig I go to is Kerbdog on Friday night.That promises to kick all kinds of ass.

I suppose theres nothing left to do now except wrap this up.

Hoo-Ray for Boobies! And over the counter Drugs!

Pink pills are for your sanity.

But my pills are red and white and I’m fairly certain they’re way more fucking fun than the pink pills!

I’ve been suffering flu and asthma. So I paid a visit to the doctor and he set me up. Set me up good!

I swear but I’ve never had so much fun being under the weather and completely off my face before.

Downside is my face is all stiff and my hands are shaking but that’s from the inhaler from being short of breath. Also my legs feel like they’re trying to get away from me…

THE RASCALS!

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I also find clenching and unclenching my ass cheeks to be tremendously good fun!

Clenched. Unclenched. Clenched. Unclenched.

I could go on all night when in fact I’ve been doing it while giggling like a school girl the whole time! I’ve also decided that my hands are huge. FREAKIN HUGE!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I’m so fucking hyper. I want to go run…but if I do that then I have an asthma attack and die…ever feel like your mind is trying to escape your head?

Im writing this in my room and its dimly lit…I swear the action figures are gonna come alive and rape me while I sleep….

Those bastards wont take me alive! Or give me the bad touch! AHA! I’ll kill them all with this shovel!

WHERE THE FUCK DID I GET A SHOVEL!?!

These are the funest meds I’ve ever had.

Matthew Good - Double Life

How now are you gone awry?
How now are we back here tonight
That's all there is
Roll the dice
This is all there is
Roll the dice

How now baby is a little bit enough of it
When you live a double life?

How now are you going to bite both hands?
That's all there is
Roll the dice
This is all there is
Roll the dice

How now baby is a little bit enough of it
When you live a double life?

Well I knew but I've forgotten
Because everyone keeps asking
How come they feel so terrible
If terrible is in fashion?

I’ve just drank a litre of orange juice and im feeling giddy bitches, so everybody sit down and shut the fuck up!!

…..

That’s better.

What the fucks going on? That’s a rhetorical question.

Things are fucked up. Where did it all go wrong? I’m talking about the sorry excuse for the world we’re living in today. You’d think after more than 2000 years we’d have made some sort of progress but no we’re still beating, raping, skull fucking everything around us.

I find it hard watching the news because it makes me sad seeing people being put through the wood chipper in both national and international news. Ironically whenever I see shit I cant help but think of that Matt Good song up above or the Coldplay track “Beautiful World”.

Just look at the way things are. Look at that poor woman Terri Schiavo and her right to die case has been turned into a 3 ring media circus. A woman’s life and a families pain has been turned into a rating grabber. That’s cold. I know this is complicated matter especially the way in which she would die. But this should be done behind closed doors not in full view of the public. It’s vulgar what’s happening and It’s a private thing for a family to do. Life and death of a person should not be a 3 ring circus for news agencies across the world to make money from.

*INTERLUDE*
/The following is an excerpt from “V for Vendetta” by Alan Moore where V the main character is addressing the people of the fascist rulled England/

“Good Evening London. I thought it time we had a little talk. Are you sitting comfortably?

Then I’ll begin.

I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve called you here this evening. Well you see I’m not entirely satisfied with your performance lately….I’m afraid your works been slipping, and…

…and well, I’m afraid we’ve been thinking about letting you go.

Oh I know, I know. You’ve been with the company a long time now. Almost…let me see. Almost ten thousand years! My word, Doesn’t time fly?

It seems like only yesterday…

I remember the day you commenced your employment, swinging down from the trees, fresh faced and nervous, A bone clasped in your bristling fist… 'Where do I start, Sir?' you ask, plaintively.

I recall my exact words: 'There’s a pile of dinosaur eggs over there, youngster,' I said, smiling paternally the while. 'Get sucking.'

Well we’ve certainly come a long way since then, haven’t we? And yes, yes, you’re right, in all that time you haven’t missed a day.

Well done thou good and faithful servant.

Also, please don’t think I’ve forgotten about your outstanding service record. Or about all of the invaluable contributions that you’ve made to the company…Fire, the wheel, agriculture…it’s an impressive list. Don’t get me wrong.

But…well, to be frank, We’ve had our problems too. There’s no getting away from it. Do you know what a lot of it stems from? I’ll tell you…

It’s your basic unwillingness to get on within the company. You don’t seem to want to face up to any real responsibility, or to be your own boss. Lord knows, you’ve been given plenty of opportunities…

We’ve offered you promotion time and time again, and each time you’ve turned us down. 'I couldn’t handle the work, Guv’nor', you wheedled 'I know my place.'

To be frank you’re not trying are you?

You see you’ve been standing still for far too long, and it’s starting to show in your work…and I might add in your general behaviour.

The constant bickering on the factory floor has not escaped my attention…nor the recent bouts of rowdiness in the staff canteen. Then of course there’s…

Hmm. Well, I didn’t really want to have to bring this up, but…well you see, I’ve been hearing some disturbing rumours about your personal life. No, never you mind who told me. No names, no pack drill…

I understand that you are unable to get on with your spouse. I hear that you argue. I am told that you shout. Violence has been mentioned. I am reliably informed that you always hurt the one you love…

…the one you shouldn’t hurt at all.

And what about the children? Its always the children who suffer, as you’re well aware. Poor little mites. What are they to make of it? What are they to make of your bullying, your despair, your cowardice and all your fondly nurtured bigotries?

Really it’s not good enough is it?

And it’s no good blaming the drop in work standards upon bad management, either…though be sure, the management is VERY bad. In fact let us not mince words…the management is TERRIBLE!

We’ve had a string of embezzlers, frauds, liars and lunatics making a string of catastrophic decisions. This is plain fact.

But who elected them?

It was YOU! You who appointed these people! You who gave them the power to make your decisions for you! While I’ll admit that anyone can make a mistake once, to go on making the same lethal errors century after century seems to me nothing short of deliberate.

You have ENCOURAGED these malicious incompetents, who have made your working life a shambles. You have accepted without question their senseless orders. You have allowed them to fill your workspace with dangerous and unproven machines.

You could have stopped them.

All you had to say was ‘No’. You have no spine. You have no pride. You are no longer an asset to the company.

I will however be generous. You will be granted two years to show me some improvement in your work. If at the end of that time you are still unwilling to make a go of it…

You’re fired.

That will be all. You may return to your labours."

*END INTERUDE*

Now lets look at the state of the middle east. Still no real change except the body count keeps getting higher and there is no end in sight of the American occupation of Iraq. Each day Men, Women and Children are being shot blown up and basically their basic human rights are abused by a fucking cowboy sitting in the Oval office who couldn’t leave well enough alone. Who instead of trying to sort things out peacefully like a normal well adjusted person decided to send in his military machine and bomb Iraq back to the middle ages.

What the fuck. What have we the people of the world become? We’ve allowed this mass slaughter to happen. We see the images everyday on the television and yet all we seem capable of doing is changing the channel and watching some shit rot our brain because at the end of the day real life isn’t fun or zany like those crazy kids on that show who are oh so funny and mixed up.

“What would you say if we lived on the TV besides all the things they told ya to?”

It’s sad. But what infinity sadder is that Bush was democratically elected. That a couple of million people decided that they didn’t care about humanity. That it was ok to walk into a country and basically rape it. it’s an old gripe I know but I’m feeling pissed off.

Then there’s the case of young 16 year old Jeff Weise from Minnesota. Jeff walked into his high school on Monday last and opened fire on his classmates. He killed nine people and then took his own life. The media are already dubbing him “The Angel of Death” and everybody is quickly looking for scapegoats to try and reason why this tragedy happened Marilyn Manson and his quote “Goth Lifestyle” have already been named quickly. Of course nobody asked how he got his hands on the weapons in the first place…

Also take the case of something closer to home. The violence that seems to fill the nights of this country. Take last St Patrick’s day in Galway where a 15 year old was stabbed 3 times in broad daylight. First of all why?? What drives a person to take or try to take another persons life…how do they make the logical conclusion in their mind that this is the only correct course of action.

It frankly both scares me and makes me again wonder why?

“And we live in a beautiful world”
“Ya we do ya we do.”

hmm...

hmmm......

hmmmmmm..........

Ever get that feeling when you know you should be doing something but you couldnt be bothered doing it i'd call it lazyness but I dont think it's quite an apt discription for what it is or feels like no it's more of a disafected feeling...

Holy run-on sentences Batman!

Sorry about that.

Yes I think I'm disafected by life at the moment.That would be an apt discription I suppose when I should be studying for an exam in the morning yet here I am typing these words in the wee hours of the morning.

The notes are beside me....yet.....

Actually y'know what....

It probably is sheer lazyness....

I should get on ok in the exam anyway.Im not far off from passing the year.Only thing to worry about now is Maths.Oh how I abore Maths *curses whatever pit in hell produced it*

Oh well.....more net surfing I think.

Uncomfortably Numb

2005-03-12T01:25:00.000Z

I came back home this weekend.

That is to say I come home every weekend....but this one was a little different.I had to come back because of a funeral.A local man had died leaving a fair sized family behind him.Its always sad when people die especially if you know them well.

This funeral was different for me though.This man died of a cancerous tumour in his brain.Almost exactly a year previous to this my mother died of the same thing....

Almost exactly a year previous it was my family standing around completely numb as people came to greave with us...

Needless to say it got me thinking...or rather remembering would be a better term to use.

Before I got into the funeral home I was reminded of how I felt...and I could feel that feeling again....I can only describe it as a pain in your chest that doesnt cause physical pain...but rather emotional pain swell up in me again.

I was reminded of how I felt that day....its a numbness to everything but that feeling in your chest.....

The sense of loss will be huge for them....I feel it to this day and it will be along time before I forget it.Time doesnt heal all wounds.It leaves scars.

I remember kissing my mom goodbye for the last time berfore they closed the coffin....she was so cold...and her skin almost felt like plastic....I'll always remember that and it makes me realise how special human life is...we have this warmth to all of us....maybe its our soul i dont know...but you can see its missing when you feel how cold a dead person is....especially when its somebody you know.

The hardest part will be the burial tomorrow.Thats gonna hurt like hell.I know they will never see this but I wish the Mitchell family nothing but the best in trying to overcome their loss.

I’ve not much to say tonight as I’ve been playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 all weekend until my eyes started to bleed a little so I thought then would be a good time to get something to eat and maybe pee.

I think the only reason I’m here most nights is because I cant sleep…Last Friday was a year to the day when my Mom entered the first stages of what ended up claiming her life. Things do feel weird at the moment…but it’s to be expected I suppose…

General Musings and Distractions

2005-03-03T02:55:00.000Z

Millarworld is down.....getting a new server apparently since it's become too popular.

I now have spare time on my hands.....

....."To the BLOG-MOBILE" he shouts in his head as all the other voices
simultaneously turn around and yell "SHUT THE FUCK UP".....

Which makes me think.....could I get away with some sort of major crime if I faked/relied on a supposed multi-personality defect......

A)Normal everyday me Aidan.

B)Jim the fall guy who wakes up and apparently has no idea what happens.

C)The reckless seemingly criminal aspect of my personality called also called Jim.Quick to anger but not guilty.(I'll leave enough evidence that Jim1 and Jim2 are two sepperate personalities.

D)The personality thats pulling everyone elses strings that wont appear until im caught and have no other way out.My inner criminal mastermind.I'll call him.... Mr.Slippers!

So basically I'll commit this master crime like go and hunt down every cunt that wronged me and the people I cared about in my life with a shovel and then if im caught I use the multi-personality defence.I'll carefully work each personality when im caught but never make it seem like I know im crazy the only personality thats aware that there are others should be the Mr.Slippers one since he's really pulling the strings.

Then sit back and give the occasional "performance" for the professional types and the Judge.

Then get declared legally Insane and it's off for a year or so a comfortable Institution where i'll make a miraculous recovery and hopefully between a year and two I'll be back out on the outside well rested and ready to tackle life full on again.

The almost perfect crime except for the part if I get caught and end up in an Institution sharing a room with a guy who thinks Elvis is sending him secret messages through his own fecal matter.

After a couple of the pink pills it cant be that bad.If I get caught that is....

Behold Mr.Slippers!Coming to place near you soon with a Shovel.Wanted for crimes against normality and Frenchmen apparently....

To much time to think I think is my problem sometimes and not enough time to process everything properly and the genius gets mired in the shit.

I need some form of brain enema I think....would that even be possible??If so and I find the way to do it I think I'll have to fleece the celebrities for their money proclaiming it the New Cool and ride that fad all the way to the bank until the Old Cool becomes the New Cool again.

Isnt it weird how everything seems to be circular to one extent or the other?Tends, Music, Fashion, even most of our lives to an extent.Although some of them do become vicious circles there is good to be found in everything,if we look hard enough or in some cases it can be seen immediatly.Like good friends.Without them I have no idea where i'd be or what i'd do.

Here are some friends not all of them have had a huge impact on my life or anything but it's good to know that there are people out there that give half a damn about me at least.

Me at the back and from left to right Connor, Mike and Gary.

Left to right: Sean, Sinead and Amie.

Mainly though....it's been these three guys that have helped keep me sane.Thanks guys.I dont say it enough but thanks.

Egomaniac....probably

2005-02-22T06:40:00.000Z

Im still coming down off of last week.Im a broken man after it in every sense.

It was rag week(think spring break but drunker).I spent all of it pretty drunk and wet actually.I may have flu now and perhaps an aversion to beer.

Nah I think we can rule out the second part of that actually.

Pictures:

Not sure where I got the foam finger....or where it went later.....

Im not sure why I look stunned here....oh wait now I do.I had just slipped,fell and smashed my head off the ground.

Amie unable to play the drinking game anymore

That picture was taken really early in the day I think.

I called her at the weekend....first time i've talked to her in ages.

Things went well I suppose.Its probably the best way to discribe it.Things were light and talkative.Im glad they went that way as I didnt really want a serious converstion about our comings and goings.It just wouldnt have felt right I suppose at the time.

I did however realise how much I missed talking to her even if it was just shooting the shit....we used to have the best conversations....but then that was then and what seems to be a million miles away....she has the best laugh aswell...

Also the Matt Good blog is up and running again: http://www.matthewgood.org

2005-02-03T00:39:00.000Z

Is a fucking bastard.

Especially when you have no money.Although I did spend my last few euro on ice-cream......I regret nothing!!

Hopefully tomorrow I should have my education grant to abuse on such luxuries as food.God I miss food....

Anyway.I turned up for class today only to discover there was none.Bollocks to that and me going out in the cold with flu probably making things worse for myself.

I hate being sick.I hate it more than anything....actually thats a lie.I hate C++ more than anything and thats what im studyin in college.

I really am having second thoughts about whether or not I want to do this for another 3 years.....Its just no fun.Interesting ya a little but sweet mother of jeebus it fucking gets on my nerves a lot.

On to other matters.A friend of mine just started a blog.She's actually here beside me absolutely flustered at the thought of what to say.It's quite funny actually.Sorry dude.

Have a peek here: http://paradoxicaleima.blogspot.com

Hmm I think the blond chick at the photocopier is checkin me out.....shes ok not great.....but its nice to be noticed.

Actually no on second thoughts she's not that great at all.Isnt it funny how quickly we can change our minds about things?That happens to me a lot actually.Chances are it's a sign of my own imaturity....either that or I might be going slightly mad....im not quite sure which one i prefer.....

The Recovery Position

2005-02-02T04:18:00.000Z

Its been an interesting few days.

The weekend first of all was amazing to say the least.Went to Dublin to a comicbook signing for Mark Millar and Bryan Hitchs Ultimates series and met a lot of people I had come to know of from Millars own site http://www.millarworld.net

I think I spent the entire weekend drinking Guinness or at least it felt like that at the end of it.Everyone had great fun it would seem and now I have to say I'm giving some serious thought to going to the Bristol Comicbook convention only I think it may clash with my exams....which is a bitch since I think I can scrape enough money to go over there and meet more people I know.

There are some great pictures taken and here are a few of them:

Im in the centre with the black jacket.My mates Gary(left) and Sean (right).In the background is James and Carlos two of the guys who I know from Millarworld.Great guys both of them.

A nice picture of all the Millarworld gang together.

Everybody at the drinking session that night with me watching Bryan Hitch sketch.The man is amazing and I think it would be possible to watch it all day long.

We went to the Guinness storehouse/brewrey on Sunday.This was like traveling to Mecca.The tour itself was alright but made all the better by the free pint we got in the Gravity Bar at the top of the Storehouse.It overlooks all of Dublin and was quite a nice view.One of the people we were with suffered from virtigo.....which was sorta funny to see him cry.Pansy,you'll learn to stop calling me a bogger Hall!!!

Then on the Sunday night I came home and learned something I didnt know.I cant go into details except its still going round in my head and its hard to know how to react to it.I wish she'd get back in contact with me.If you're reading this please do.

More side effects of the trip.I got flu and now im buggered with it.Had to take Monday off and managed to get back in today.Sadly im behind so its catch up time which is a FUCKER!.

Who knows.Tomorrow should be better right?Hopefully.

The Charmed Life I Lead....

2005-01-19T01:54:00.000Z

....I've decided to give this another go simply because I'm bored at the moment and it seems like a good idea.

Chances are i'll get bored of this and forget all about my blog until the next time I get bored.

Besides Im talking to myself far too much lately and typing my crap here makes more sense than getting strange looks walking down the street from old people as I mutter about my own personal bullshit and crap.

Im currently trying to download Matt Good videos from the net.Speaking of Matt he got sick of everyone being a cunt basically and shut down his mBlog.I was disappointed to say the least.It was always a great source of information(if sometimes a little bias but not always)and the man is a musical genius so getting to see what made him tick I thought was interesting.

But no.The assholes had their way and Matt decided to quit the blog.Chances are he was right.What's the point if you're being overwhelmed and nobody cares?

There is none really or at least there seems like none at that moment in time when you've lost everyone and yourself.You wonder how its happened or how you could let it happen and where you went wrong...

Thats been happening a lot to me lately.Wondering.Where did I begin to let the shit mire and begin to drag me down?Surely this cant be my fault?It must have been someone elses....ya thats it someone elses...now pass the beer and I can try to forget about feeling anything and i'll become someone else....

Someone that everyone likes.....someone that hasnt used up every chance he's had and become the victem of his own bullshit.....someone that isnt hated...

Ya i'd love if that could happen...but it wont.

Its my fault.All of it and its time I started cleaning my own shit up and not expect someone else to do it.

Now or never.Do or die.

It's not gonna happen overnight....but im trying to change things...

I return!!

To college..well actually i did that 2 weeks ago but this has been the sobberest i've been so i decided to update my blog.

Whats going on?

Fuck all thats what.

Boredom stalks me at everyturn.All my friends have either dropped out and working or the friends i have in college are in classes.

I have thought of making new friends but this idea seems too much like work.

I got a nice new apartment this year aswell.It was clean for the first day or so before my two other house mates and i destroyed the place.There are now various "liberated" items thrown around the place and noboddy has bothered to wash up in about a week now.

Truely it appears we are living in our own filth.However i will say that our apartment isnt as bad as my mates Sean and Garys.Oh no im actually waiting some day to walk in and find shit on the rug and they'll just look up at me and tell me that the bathroom was too far away.

More in the next few days as im sure college shinanigans will give me things to write about because i have a shitload to write about already and its just two weeks in.I will also try and upload pictures.

A pint of Guinness from The Front Door pub in Galway.Its the best you'll get anywhere.

Today was long.Work that is.I had absolutely nothing to do there and it wreaked my head.I need to get another job.One that I might actually enjoy.

Im just not getting enough hours where i currently am and i need the money for school next September.

Speaking of school im expecting my exam results this week.Cant say im looking forward to that much at all.Oh well im sure the results will cause me to get together with my friends and get polluted as only we can.Hmm excess drinking.Nothing like it.

Long Weekend

2004-06-13T22:44:00.000+01:00

Im so tired.

Spent nearly all yesterday with my Dad.We were at an election count.Truely if one thing can be said is that if my Dad truely loves anything it's politics.He was in his element yesterday and frankly i was very happy for him as we dont get to spend much time together at things we both enjoy since Mom died.It was good to see him out and about as really he hasnt done this much if at all lately.

Curse him though.Curse him for poisoning me with an interest in politics even if yesterday was at a local level.

It was funny to walk around the arena tallying votes from different areas and watching politicians give each other and their electorate verbal hand-jobs.Really i have no idea how a political party could have put some of them up for election as to say that they were slimey is an understatement.Shaking hands pretending to know who you are or guess who you are.It was quite funny as i made 2 or 3 of them sweat as they tried to figure out who i was or who my family was.Ya for about 2 or 3 minutes you could see it on their faces as they would run through their mental files despiratly trying to figure out who i was and if i was in their electorate.Funny stuff at the time.

We finished up around 1am last night.Got home at 2am.Wreaked.It was a good day though.The party we support got the majority of seats available so all its all good.

Also this weekend a good friend of mine told me he was moving home.This disappoints me but it'll only be for 2 months until we move back to college.

I dont believe i have anything else really to talk about now except im off to the pub in the evening to watch the England Vs France game.Pints,football and friends.Should be alright.

I dont know what to write.

Im feeling so many different things lately...

But mostly all I seem to do is drive people away even when I dont want to...

....I cant take this anymore...

Something has to give and I fear in the end its gonna be me.All really that seems to be left is to see how hard I fall and if i can pick myself up after it...

Will she be there at the end though?

That remains to be seen as i've fucked things up there and to be honest i wouldnt blame her for leaving me because of the way i've been.

I wish she were here..thats all i want..

She is the apple of my eye...

2004-06-09T01:49:00.000+01:00

Im listening to Ryan Adams version of Wonderwall.its really good.

"maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me"

..that line keeps playing over and over in my head. There’s only one person that it applies to and she is so far away now...

She called me hero...

i hate him for what he did to her. It frightens me sometimes that I can feel this much hatred for one person but then i remember her eyes. Her smile. The way her face lit up.

Like sunshine. my own personal ray of it...

Then its easy to hate him because what he did was...evil...

To this day i cant understand how one person could hurt another person in such a way...i never want to understand that actually.

The way a person could instill such fear in another person.

I remember lying beside her in bed and seeing the fear. Not of me but of him. Seeing it in her eyes...

It is easy to hate him.

I miss her beside me...i wish we were still in my room..we talked liked nothing else mattered..it was just us...and in those moments of quiet we spent in each others arms nothing did matter to me because i was safe and loved by her.

Time seemed to stop...

Eve,The Apple of My Eye is playing now..

I went and you cried"

Work sucks but then so does life in general

2004-06-05T01:50:00.000+01:00

Head hurts.

Spent the day job hunting.Some prospects but nothing i'll bet the farm on.Rather depressing really the thought of having to remain another summer where i currently work as i hate it there.

But i need the money.I begin tomorrow and i have to work the full bank holiday weekend here in Ireland.I wish i had at least one day off so i could go out with friends one night but no.I have 8am starts each day which rules out going on the beer with friends.

That bitch i work for better be in a good mood...as frankly im in the mood to go off and do/say something worthy of losing my job...

Other high/lowlights of today:

-Bought more Transmetropolitan goodness.Warren Ellis is a genius.

-Power cut in the early morning put a dampner on the day as i was cut of from the net and i was having a conversation with Steph.Damn thing didnt return till 10am.I should have told her to call..

-Got into an argument with a sales clerk over a Bluetooth device for my mobile phone.Which was stupid to say the least but i was right.

-Began to sort out plans for moving in with friends.

The next few days could prove to be stressful.Im not looking forward to any of them.Fuck going back to regular work.

Same Bat-Time.Same Bat-Channel folks.

Paranoia, Pasta and something else that begins with P.

..........i've been awake nearly 24 hours now...

.......i think im going insane.......

Why you ask?

Well im hoped up on coffee and sugar.

And im a little paranoid now...

My eyes hurt from playing video games for most of the day.They're all blood shot and bright light is their enemy.Spent the rest of the day doing nothing really except thinking and listening to the new Ash album MELTDOWN.

Its alright.Nothing that will change the face of music but i enjoyed it.

Thoughts....thoughts hurt.A lot.

No change in my Aunt.Dad was in to see her and he said it's probably just a matter of time.Im not sure what to think.He's pretty down about it so im not sure if he's just thinking the worst of things or if it is that bad.

I have too many memorys of people i love that are now ether dead, sick or dying...

Things on a lighter note that have made me smile if only for awhile today:

-Reading the Warren Ellis question and answers thread on Millarworld.So many stupid questions and i love the way he deals with them.

-Getting an email from Steph this morning

-The Pasta i had for dinner.Im a goddamn good cook!

I think i'll go outside tomorrow.I havent been outside in a good 2-3 days so a change should be....good i suppose.

Must rememer to go pick up comicbooks.

-Aidan thinks his head is gonna explode now.

And in the begining.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile.

Sadly now i have no idea what to write.Stagefright?fuck no.Frankly i could propably talk for hours about the shit thats been happening in my life lately.

How everything is falling apart.

So where to begin?

Probably in the begining which is as good a place as any.

My mom died of cancer on april 3rd this year.It was slow painfull and it hurt so much to watch her for 3 months slowly and steadly get worse.Basically everything has been tied around this event.I miss her so much.

Im studying Software Development in GMIT(www.gmit.ie) so basically my studies went to hell around this time and i have failed the year.Im not to concerned about this though as no one really expected me to pass with everything that happened.It does matter sometimes to me though especially when im feeling down over everything thats happened it just seems to add weight to the depressed feeling even though usually it doesnt bother me.

Then on the day of my moms funeral my ganddad took ill and hasnt gotten better since.My family expect he'll have to be taken into care since he's become forgetfull.Possible case of Alsyzmers(i know its speeled wrong but fuck you its my blog)

Around the same time my Dads sister went into hospital for her regular physio therapy,She suffers from MS so this wasnt out of the ordinary really.She's been there since and is now fighting for her life in intensive care.My Dad thinks its only a matter of time and its freaking him out.Hell its freaking me out.Shes a person that has been through so much in her life.She never threw in the towel even when she lost the use of her legs and was always in a good mood.It hurts so much to think that she may die aswell.

Things are just going steadly downhill.

Even the girl i love seems to hate me.Its long and complicated but i broke up with her during this because i didnt want to drag her down with me.I love her too much and she has her own problems.This subkect is something im likely to expand on in the future.

So stay tuned in kids.Same Bat-time, same bat-channel!And im sure my life will have gotten worse...
