Happy New Year

Well, here we go again, another 12 months of work, study, love, pain, tears, laughter, hunger, thirst, hangovers. And you know what....bring it on, love it. It defines us as a race, ok one that makes mistakes, but in the words of Victoria Wood 'we'll probably blunder about, buggering it up like everyone else' so true. Just looking at some pics from a holiday i had at my friends house in Cork, its the pic il publish after this. I took it on the morning when i was returning to my home up north. I took this listening to Sigur Ros 'The Nothing Song' and Salt Tank 'Eugina'. It was early morning in the summer, the air had that lovely hazy summer smell, with a hint of the salt from the sea. The town hadnt woken up properly, i felt like i was the only one alive, there wasnt a sense of lonliness, but an almost sense of complete being. I will take a video of the morning sometime in a couple of weeks, as i will be going there for a week of good food (my friend got a side of venison from the butcher so we intend to stuff ourselves) i will make one of my lasagnas and mac'n'cheese; lots of alcohol (he just got some fine wines delivered!) and a plethora of movies from funnies to horror! and probably due to the weather being shit, we dont intend going anywhere very far! only into Cork city for some shopping. I took my Christmas decortations down on the 28th, couldnt be bothered looking at them anymore, that may sound really Scrooge-like, but to be honest, for me it ends on the 25th evening, the dinner thing has been done, you're vegged out in front of the telly watching the Christmas special of Doctor Who and drinking a glass of wine, trying desperatly not to fall asleep! and really wanting to go home and watch whatever dvds family have bought for you. My exams start in a week...EEK! but at least il have the trip to look forward to after it. Right im off to consume a pot of coffee and get some revision done (not too much though, it is New Years Eve after all!)
love and blessings for a fantastic new year

Equality???Diversity????

Merry Christmas everyone (first and foremost) anyone offended by the word' Christmas' cause its not Muslim, Hindu, Pagan, something else, Buddhist, erm, whatever else, people who worship frogs in a forest or something.....didnt think so, even though the government of the uk would have us believe if we speak we offend someone, OH PLEASE UK WISE UP! Its funny here in Ireland, all the wierdo DUP politicians (those who scream like spoilt children about anything that isnt white, protestant and heterosexual) are trying to block legislation for equality for gays and lesbians, jumping and using the 'christian moral' bandwagon. But what they dont realise is that people know exactly what its a scapegoat for, equality for all, it means they would have to talk to and be kind to everyone, including blacks, polish, roman catholics, jewish, gays. Using the homosexual debate, trying to enforce it with the bible (dont make me laugh! i study it for uni, and they are talking utter shite or conveniently leaving out big sections that dont suit them!) Get a grip Northern Ireland and the mainland UK, noone gives a fuck if you have a Christmas card on your desk. People who 'sue' because they are offended are lazy good for nothing, selfish, work shy bastards, they only want money for nothing. Hope they enjoy it before they die and get reincarnated as a dung beetle (oh sweet justice!) ITs all going a bit over the top, at least there will be a turnaround at some point when everyone just realises 'what the fuck are we all gettin worked up about, oh nothing at all! lets just get on with living, working, helping those in need, playing and enjoying the world!! thats the important thing' ah, roll on those days!
Anyhoo, have a fantastic Christmas, Yule, Winter Solstice, Hannukah (however its spelt lol!), and every other religious/supernatural celebration that y'all have this time of year, eat lots, veg in front of the tv, be with people you love, drink til you giggle unccontrolably, smile, cry, laugh, be silent, say a prayer, a spell, an affirmation, whatever makes you happy. Just enjoy yourselves and be kind to the world.
love and blessings,

Hearts and emotions

Evening, just home from a good day at uni. lectures were really good fun (its was all Art History today) and got to catch up with my very dear friend Aaron. Have missed him a lot, hes great to be with, talk to, have a laugh with. We had some drinks in the Students Union, the Parlour Bar, then hit the library for some books, then the Globe bar, where we sampled some more whiskey and bourbon...lovely! Must have a good food and drinks night with Aaron and the boys, and make one of my world famous lasagnas - they rock! Anyhoo, its getting on here and i have some 1 night loan books which im going to have a look through with a glass of wine.
Take care y'all
love and blessings
