Movie Review..Bloody Valentine

Good Movie!!..end of review!! Watching it was the usual Shar & Owen disaster!! I kept saying things like.'It's all a dream, they're all dead, that guy is really that other guy's father etc..and when the killer would appear, axe in hand, I'd shout ''That guy's the killer I betcha'' Sharon kept telling me to shut up, despite the fact that she didn't pause for breath while talking through the whole thing and then wigged out afterwards and we had to watch cartoons for an hour. When we went to bed I had the usual..''there's someone downstairs'', did you hear that?''. Next time we're gonna watch 'Terms of Endearment' or something & I'll just be cryin' all over the place.

Real Doll!!!

Jesus!!..That's so creepy!! These cost $7000. You can have them made anyway you want. I presume you don't get any response from them though, at the same time I guess they don't yell ''Don't you fucking dare stop''...''Stop & I'll kill you''..etc. I reckon they're fun until you finish and then you have to clean them out!!..But!!..they don't say 'No', finish & fall asleep before you, complain, or cheat. There's no way you could feel good about yourself if you owned one of these, but if you did own one....Would you give your friend a go on it?'

Cut the Beige Wire!!!

I spent the day at work pulling wires (not my own). I'm getting mighty tired of wires!! I shoulda became a rock star instead, but my son put an end to that. Still, anti-social a career as an IT technician is, it does make me very popular. Funny that, everyone wants to be my friend when their computer breaks.

Trip to the Mental Hospital...

My brother recently moved house, and now lives near a mental hospital. Our Lady's Hospital has been closed & derelict for 20 years, for a long time it was Ireland's largest building, it's over a mile in length. You'd have to wonder why Cork needed such a huge hospital for mentals, I mean if mental health is such a huge problem, where are all the mental people now (I'm sitting in front of my Computer)? Anyway, we broke in, by far the creepiest place you can imagine, we were too scared to explore any more of it. Everything seems to be left in place since the day it closed. The chapel is almost unbearablely creepy to be inside. If you imagine all the suffering & pain that this place has seen, and you can almost taste it in there, there must be some ghosts walking around that place. I'm gonna go and meet some tomorrow night...

Painkillers Work...

I'm reading a cool book about the American Civil War and people's motivations concerning the side they fought for, and toast!!..I love toast. Where are my slippers? I went to a car boot sale last Sunday, my son bought Terence & Philip dolls, you know those guys from Star Trek that fart all the time?...I'm thinking of dying my hair, maybe I'll watch a movie later ,I saw this cool thing on youtube earlier. I'm on a Boat, ..that's what it's called, I'm not actually on a boat, I'm at home..I think!!

Don't Kiss Me, I Might Move In With Ya!!!

But also because I have a sore Throat, never had one of those before, It's all that shouting at my computer I reckon, must stop Playing 'Trials 2'. I can't swallow or anything . Still., it's an excuse not to do stuff, Shar just said 'look at the photos I took'...Can't baby, got a sore throat. That works for making coffee, love, and dinner too. I also found out that painkillers work, I thought you had to believe they worked, for them to work, but no. (Boring post I know,but I've been waiting ages for an excuse to use this wonderful photo)

More Old Pictures...

That's me on the left, we found loads of old photos when my parents moved house last year. My parents got a photographer to our house to take some family photos, but I cried so much my Dad had to go out & buy a 'Laughing Bag' (the thing in my brother's hand, you shake it & it makes a laughing sound)..to keep me calm. Having a photographer around....always a traumatic moment for a child.

Why Dad, Why!!!

This is me aged 1, throwing sand in my face at the beach. My dad took this photo. why didn't he stop me instead of taking the picture? It's hardly child abuse but I have a funny feeling I'll be talking to a psychiatrist some day.

Stunt Kid...

This is my son James doing tricks on his bike, I was Irish BMX champion when I was young & I'm still pretty good so he doesn't let me use his bike. Some kids would think I was a cool Dad, but James gets embarrassed, either that or he thinks I'll show him up...nothing at all to do with a 38 year old man making a fool outta himself on a kid's bike!!

My Family...

I know most people think that their parents are the best in the world, but people that know my parents agree that 'My' parents are in fact the best parents in the world. My brother's the coolest person on the planet too!!..Shame about me though (We didn't live in a crummy house with torn wallpaper, it's the photo that's torn)

Su Su...

This was our sweet puppy SuSu, she was such a cuddly thing, she ate all our furniture, then she got smashed to death by a car..we miss her!!

Can English Please!!??

I took this pic recently in a Cafe window, ..''can english necessary'..Fantastic!!

New Guitar...

I recently bought this Guitar new on Ebay for €60, I have a Taylor & a few Yamahas so I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but Wow, It's got an amazing sound for a slim body (I like slim bodies). The pick-up & equalizer are pretty good too. It doesn't make me a better guitarist or anything but it does go with my favourite shirt & it's a nice piece of furniture.

Pro Active Parenting!!

For the first time in 12 years, the weather was good yesterday. So after a boring day of cycling & a trip to the park I took my son & his friends Gary & Jack airsofting, which means we shoot each other with pellet guns. They really hurt, I got shot in the hand, crotch, and neck, and my back looks like a map of a mountain range. Me & Jack lost but that's 'cos I was going easy on them, despite the fact that I shot the fuck outta them while they were reloading shouting 'Die Motherfuckers!!'...Leave me alone!!..I had a sheltered childhood!

Live for the Moment...

Oh Boy, I hate it when people say this.....'I live for the moment'..what if I slap ya.. How'd ya like that moment?, wouldn't ya like to be in a different one??.....I bet you would. Also anyone who says 'You haven't lived until you've (insert token life moment here) can also go bite me!!

Sorry.....

I found this while on the Internet earlier, I was gonna watch it tonight!!!...Damn!!

Jammy Fecker!!

My Brother went to a History of Video Games Exhibition while touring New Zealand & Australia, Oh man, I would've loved that. We lead very different lives me & Shane!!

My Girlfriend...

She shoved a straw down my throat today, and slapped me too and after I gave her jewelery last night (Nice one Baby, I wish I'd thought of that one). I put up with it 'cos she's hot!!!..Hey!!, that better not be a scone on that plate!!..DISPLAY ONLY!!!

I Made Scones...

...it was horrific!!!..Flour everywhere, on the walls, on the floor, in my hair, on the scones. Nobody's allowed to eat them though, they're just for display!!

Favourite Lyrics #1..

...Children in Bloom...Counting Crows.

I was once a Child...

..but I'm far more childish now. I was such a serious kid, dunno why, my parents & brother were loads of fun (still are). I was really intelligent & a total nerd. My Nan used to say that I was like a really reserved, mannerly Protestant Child(????). I'm very different now though I hope, childish, stoopid, irresponsible, unmannerly!! If i had a child like me, Oh man!!..I'd be very dissapointed. My son James is so different, so much fun, best kid ever!!....He says that if I was 10 he's kick my ass....He sure would..but I be better at Maths than him!!
