    <content type="html">I need a new job&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really, really need a new job, I don’t have anything to do here and am just waiting on being getting made redundant&lt;br /&gt;I think at this point that’s what I’m holding out for at this point, there really is nothing for me here. I’m constantly bored and don’t have enough to do&lt;br /&gt;It’s supposed to pick up about this time but so far no luck. I have been dropping hints to Imo bout not having enough to do but no luck as of yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m so bored I sit at my desk and e-mail myself crap to post on LJ, that’s kinda sad, I mean, nothing better to do but update a crappy blog? &lt;br /&gt;Still, Zurich in two days time, I don’t care, never been but it’s time away which is awesome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also reminds me I need to order tickets for burning man asap, so we definitely go and not just talk about it more. Have to pay for the hotel so probably order November and use them as a Christmas present for Jeff (He’s impossible to buy for so get tickets for event in November &amp; Flights in December and surprise him for shitmass…. Well it saves on last minute shopping and potentially buying something really, really crap which is always a 50/50 with me, great initial ideas until reality comes crashing through and ruins them.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that’s all I really have planned for over the next coming months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went for a cycle there at the weekend (Sat &amp; Sun) which was awesome, went over to Saggart &amp; over the hill &amp; up the forest which was great fun despite having to get off my bike to walk up the really steep parts, but I haven’t tried it since I broke my bike last month so not really surprised. It’s something to work at over the next few months anyway. Went to Tymon Park on the Sunday morning (Gorgeous morning) and just tackled the two hills a few times, they’re small enough to not kill me but still challenge me as I’m still really freakin unfit. But I’ll get there, still hoverin over the 15Stone mark but I’ll get there eventually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Japanese section in the Asia Market on Drury St. is growing which is fantastic. I got Bonito powder to make stock/dashi. I know it’s not the proper dried stuff but it’ll serve for starters until I can get my hands on the proper stuff, so I’m going to really start tackling the lessons in the Japanese cookbook I got in August. I think a new dish every weekend to build up a good collection would be great and I also wouldn’t be spending tonnes of money on food that’s just going to waste so I’m really looking forward to it. As far as personal interests go food seems to be the main one now over everything, even started me thinking about attending something like culinary school or doing a small course, it depends what I want to do with it really. Right now I’m merely ok as far as cooking goes. Still make a lot of mistakes, but I just happen to know a bit more than most people out there (which is really sad in a way as most people seem too happy with their T.V. Dinners &amp; convenience meals just seem to be everywhere. But yeah I’ve been building up a massive collection of specialist stuff to make loads of tasty crap with (I’m starting to build up my flavoured vodka collection, have one bottle of Vanilla, gonna start Apple &amp; Cinnamon next week). So obviously this got me thinking about what I want to do with my life and well food is something I could possibly do, I think I have a knack for it, I just need to refine my techniques and learn some more but I still have no idea if it’s what for definite, so needs more thought at the moment. One thing I’m thinking is more and more true though is that I need to get out of where I am by/at/just after Christmas and actually start doing things for myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the subject of food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was in M&amp;S for the first time downstairs in their food section and was kinda shocked &amp; disgusted about the place. The amount of meals in cans was unreal, I just thought it a very fucked up thing to witness and I think it really says something about us food wise. One of the things that really weirded me out was the British labels stamped proudly on the majority of them, not that I have anything about buying food sourced outside of Ireland, but it was just an odd thing to see I guess. Although it’s completely pointless mentioning it in retrospect considering the majority of Dunnes ownbrand foodstuffs aren’t actually Irish (check your receipt, it’ll tell you how much Irish produce you bought) So yeah, retailers are bizarre I think is what I’m trying to say.</content>

    <content type="html">o I have into a whim and weighed myself before and after dinner and the difference was half a stone (7 Lbs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gave me some small amount of amusement and made me feel a little better about myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also gave me a bit more drive to shift the weight I need to, because as much as I've lost weight I'm still around the 15 Stone area (bout 105 Lbs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so think I finally have the drive to stop drinking (didn't touch one over the weekend) and stop snacking on crap during the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the most important bit about this would be the constant mental whinging over foods I can't eat (which are few) to the loads of tasty ones I can make for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with my bike fixed I feel lots better abou being able to get up and go places at will. So it's back up the forest with me on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going to go for a cycle after work too, just need to make up a Fajihta mix and leave the mince marinating and I'll be off to Tymon Park then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing major as I haven't been for a cycle in over 2 weeks but just tackle the smallish hills once or twice before heading home. build that up twice a week and off to the hills at the weekends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also thinking of heading to The Lemonheads on Friday, haven't been to a gig in while but really want to go to a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should be a good 'un, Jeff ain't really interested but I just want to get out and go to something, but he's encouraging me to go so may as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't think I've been to a gig by myself since Idlewild Waaaaaaay back, really feel like seeing more bands live, and keeping the experience for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always thought it was really awesome meeting a few people you'll probably never talk to again but havin such a blast it was like you were best mates for most of your lives, weird one but f'ckin good fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and who wants to go picking mushrooms soon?</content>

    <content type="html">I need to centre my mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There, that’s it, ok now I have it out I can make more sense of where I want to go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hormones are acting up today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or at least have been for the past week anyway, not sure how to feel, I guess inability to deal with the self and family have led up to this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just don't know what to do with myself lately&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably just let my goals get away from me that's all. Need to get myself settled and start concentrating again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stick to it this time. Gotta get bike fixed first, probably not gonna get dropped down till friday but f**k it, I can live with that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need to shift 2 and a half stone, as quickly as possible, which means I need to make time for doing so and also not f**king around at weekends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means no drinking (until we at least get to Zurich), no making superfudge brownies (NOM they were fantastic) and no pizza L&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should probably lay of the beer for a while anyway, think it’s been affecting my brain, in the non-good way, think it’s been bumming me out lately too, mood just seems to be swinging a bit too much, or just kinda feel like I’m in limbo, waiting for a transition that’s never going to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motivation has always been a problem for me, I need to find some and stick with it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m still swinging between being lazy and enjoying comfort to really wanting to go somewhere, but ultimately I usually deny those urges. Lately I’ve been starting to listen to them more, following some of them through and keeping after something, not just picking it up the once and lay it down and forget about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One plus thing this month is that my rent has been halved. We were going to stick it to people we pay rent to (Parents… It’s complicated, well not really but I’m not explaining) but they came to us and dropped it by twice as much as we were going to “suggest”, so that is freaking awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK me needs to go book hotels, anyone know of anything fun to do in Zurich?</content>

    <content type="html">So lots of things happening at the moment, where to start where to start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll start with the here and now I guess....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so Jeff's parents are over this week (which is awesome), they flew in Saturday at 7:30 in the morning, got collected by Jeff &amp; my dad. It's really cool cause they're staying with my parents for the time they are here and they're all getting on amazingly well. Not surprising really considering how laid back Jeff's folks are and the fact my parents (well specifically dad) have mellowed out A LOT over the past few years. They also got a lot of stories to share with one another which is great cause there's just somethings that they really don't have in common but a lot in their respective backgrounds that they do, so we're all stoked this week)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought them over to the Harley shop here in Dublin on Sat after they had a lay down (Good ole Jet Lag kicked in) and then quick stop at ours in Crumlin and a jaunt around Dublin. Stopped off at St. Patricks Cathedral (awesome grounds) and wandered up to St. Stephens Green and onto Sheehans for a pint before headin back home for dinner and crashing out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the guiness storehouse yesterday (it was on their "to do" list (they had two on it, the other is the botanic gardens out in Glasnevin) so it was a pretty awesome tour as I hadn't been on it in a fair few years, and never been to the gravity bar there either which is a great place, (full 360 view over Dublin City and serving nothing but Guiness), didn't know it was the 3rd biggest brand tour after Hersy's and some other company, but there ya go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So split into town then again after, full intention of doing the Dublin bus tour but did wings and cocktails in The Porter House instead, then  home to meet some siblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had to work today and tomorrow but they're off to Glendalough today so that should be awesome for them. We're also off to Wexford for 2 days tomorrow evening and back on Friday morning so can't wait for that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news my current position has been made redundant by the bank, but they've opened up a new one in the post room so they offered me that or redundancy. I took the job, think I took a day to get over it? well probably a bit more but it was a good kick in the arse to think about kickstarting something else. So the weekend before last I went and got a P.A. (Jeff got a tunnel) and talked to a mates Fiance about getting into piercing. She gave me a good talk about what to do (first get a first aid course, blood borne pathogen course and learn a lot of anatomy, well relevant anatomy) so Imo is trying to get me onto the first aid course in work (get it done free then) and Jeff got me some books to read up on so I'll get crackin on those when all our visitors are done (His sister arrives the weekend of Pride for a week and we're off to Paris for a few days)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only real downside to all this is that I lose 2K a year (before tax) and I haven't been able to ride my bike because of my piercing (or wank or anything fun) but that's about it you know, life's still too good to whine (and even if it was bad whats the fucking point?) I have a job and I have a goal I guess&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I have a few goals now, I need to do more to lose more weight, I really can't wait to get back on my bike next week (I wanted to wait a bit for my bits to heal before gettin back on) but I need to start doing some more stuff so I'll work that into my routine. My main goal now is to get my eating on track, I've got my breakfast nailed but it's the lunch and dinner thing I'm havin problems with. Mainly with portion size, certain food intake and snacking whilst cooking (Which I do a hell of a lot) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my main thing now is to get that under control but it'll probably take a lot of stumbling like the smoking (off those 3 months now) but I'm sure I'll get there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also think I'm going through some kine of philosophical, i dunno, rambling more than journey but more on that when I actually learn how to express in words what I feel in tones</content>

    <content type="html">So I've disappered slightly yet again, or rather I'm still busy signing off college, exams were farkin great, very easy and practically zero stress levels throughout the entire week I had them, the site is up and running and so far feed-back is good, still some errors to fix before I hand it in in two days time, apart from that there's been some major headway in other aspects of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saw Kid Koala on sat, damn he's a fuckin genius, 3 decks, no headphones, droppin the arm into a groove of the vinyl and using it to create melodies over moon river, granite_lullaby and sailorboy, next time he plays check him out, you'd farkin love it, he may be hip-hop but he'll drop anything in, highlights had to be him droppin in Bjorks human behaviour and a couple of other weird stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;apart from that we didn't get to see much of him as we were throwing up all night, we got asylums and freqs from the head shop and downed them all at once, that was stupid, momumentually so, but sooo fuckin worth it, must of thrown up 20 times during the entire night, one time with a floater staring me right it the face, and when your trippin it's quite an experience, so not for a long time am i getting fucked up again, and that was the most fucked I've ever been in my life, and you guys have seen how fucked up i can get and exactly what it takes to get me there, we were in overdose mode, and overdose we did... But hey, I'm smiling about the entire experience, and the theme for that night was "This shit is LEGAL!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you want good drugs, fuck the illegal shit that supports gangland crime and murder of innocents, visit your local head shop for herbal remedies that are better than anything illegal on the market. Seriously this shit will fuck you up if you don't follow instructions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also a good thing about getting that fucked up was a couple of epiphanies that i had, there's nothing like having your head shoved down the toilet bowel in the music centre tripping off your face looking at a stool that starts to look like a penis to get the ole noggin in realisation mode, nah I'm not going through them here, it's personal between me and others and they'll be contacted in time, but some of it is quite simple and some people need to get their act together or be dropped, guess who?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from that, I got me a job. In Bank of Scotland on St Stephens Green, thanks Imo! So I'm in the postal room, but there's lots of cross-training and opportunities to go places, and it leaves me free to get my thesis done over the summer. I'm also moving in with Jeff finally on saturday, so that's got me stoked, movin outta home and in with my fella :) pretty neat huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I'll check you guys laters&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy</content>

    <lj:music>the Pharcyde - Passin' Me By</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So I had my last assignment there on monday, a business plan presentation and for all it was I fee it went pretty well. Had a few problems on sunday, namely the accounts part of the damn thing. The programme I got is great for doing everything but it makes little sense when trying to do the accounts part, tis all over the place and most of the costs were throwing up #VALUE! where the formulae should have shown figures (it contains stripped down versions of Excel and Word, you just put in what you have to and it calculates everything for ya)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this goes on till 5 in the morning and me fiddling around and probably fucking up the accounts constantly as it was also throwing up errors too, then I look at the appendix and there's figures everywhere, so i said fuk it, print, bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 hours kip then straight to college, get my slides done 20 minutes before hand, normal for me, easy to do and I'm fine, into the presentation and get my shit done. off to jeffs and then sleep. Which was nice. So also got word that Franc is moving out end of THIS month and not May. This causes problems, namely my last exam is May 1st and then I have two weeks until my Cultural Artefact is handed in. I hadn't been making plans to move out till June at the earliest. This causes problems for both Jeff and Eileen (The lovely Donegal dyke living with them) as it leaves them fecked finanically as Jeff is still only in one day a week for work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I gotta chat with my parents, let them know it'll be a month earlier and it also means I'm gonna have to cancel my trip to wexford. This is what pisses me off, Jeff and Eileen are left fucked if I can't get work, but thankfully I'm meeting with Imo on sat and handing her my C.V. that should sort me out for employment during the summer (I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't move in with Jeff until I was employed) and not only that I don't get to go to wexford for any form of extended time at all this summer. Was really looking forward to wexford with jeff and louis and Elaine just to chill and take hallucigens. It means I'm getting work before i even hand in my finished project, which has also gone kind of arse ways as we're not going to be able to get the flash site done on time, we'll get the HTML one but not the flash, but that can't be helped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no problem starting work this early but it's extremely unfair what's been dumped on other people and I think Jeff and Eileen are going to be pulling Franc aside later to have words. I know my parents would help out if we we're stuck we're both unwilling to do that cause they've been very good to us over the past few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah it's just the way life fucks up every now and then, just gotta adapt to get shit done. Still, I get to have a life again soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On other topics, I'm staying off booze indefinitly until I trust myself not to go mad and slip back into the old routine.</content>

    <content type="html">Whilst insulating the sisters house on saturday with the father I broached the subject of me moving out after finishing college. The expected reply came in the form of "a financial loss to us" (meaning i'd be taking a small downstairs apartment in Crumlin, they have about 7 mortgages to pay off at the moment, that's one of them, well it's in my name but I'm taking it over and repaying them.) Which was defused by me covering the difference myself by working, I should have something lined up work-wise for when I get back from wexford in May through mates, so that's all sorted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from that met with hardly any resistence considering what a hard ass he is to deal with most of the time, didn't get too much into the conversation as Jeff and mum dropped in about that time after their meeting with Mary Hearny (Jeff's extended residency should be moved along a lot quicker now too) so didn't get to finish it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so I'm happy with that, already told mum a while back but dad's always difficult to deal with on a lot of things so I'm happy he's resigned to the inevitable and I'll not meet too much resitance for him (he tried to convince me to stay another year at home first, yeah i think Jeff would dump me if that happened, lol, and I wouldn't blame him either)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also a beatiful day out, really really warm and I'm flying through this assignment.</content>

    <content type="html">Ah chirst the cunt finally went and fucked up royally now.&lt;br /&gt;We have groups to get work done in some of our assignments in college and it's the same for the entire year, most people have 5 but we only have 3, one of them who pulls their weight and probably does better than myself and some stupid fucktard who's never in and we always have to compensate as his work isn't up to the same standard. We've accepted this near the start cause once you have a group it's impossible to change and considering the pressure we're under constantly we figured we'd just get through it as best as possible, put in that bit extra work and make sure that we covered the weak point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However as it turns out now the fucktard has completely forgotten to do part of the last assignment that needs to be tomorrow and now I'm left to try and finish it off with no idea what we have to do it on. This also completely fucks up the work for everyone else cause no-one can finish off their individual conclusions that are also needed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got in touch with the one that actually works and she's gonna rip the head of the fucktard while I get busy trying to save everyone's ass. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fucktard, can't say it enough can I?&lt;br /&gt;fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard, fucktard,</content>

    <content type="html">I would advise anyone who hasn't heard Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra to check out their Voices and Choices album. If you like a soundtrack type vibe full of 60's and 70's kitcsh it's rockin'! Such great chill out funkified listening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news Jeff's down cycle kicked in this morning. Still freaks me out and worries me a lot as I have no idea how to deal with it. He's been dealing with it a lot longer than I have and has his methods but I just feel useless and on the sidelines during it. He's stated often enough that there's nothing anyone can do and I just can't imagine that kind of bleakness being felt by anyone for me to connect on some level and try bring him out of it. All I can do really is just stay close when we're together and support him as much as possible, tis difficult enough when you don't know what to do though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we've kicked drugs though it hasn't happend that often and doens't last longer than a day or two, tis a small ray of hope and it's great that it doesn't happen that often, but you forget it does and it hits a bit more when it does. Chattin to a mate on-line who suffers from it (no one anyone here knows) and that's always a help. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other news, still behind in this law assignemnt, it's fairly straight forward but motivation as I've stated before is lacking big time. And I don't really feel like trying to apply Marxist Theory and The Frankfurt School to Moulin Rouge for the group assignment but that's one I cannot be late for, individual ones it's my own head but the group ones we all get screwed for.</content>
