Darkness

The other day myself and my mam went to Blessington to get a kitten, it was standard enough your one showed up with her daughter and a basket full of kittens and I picked the one I liked the most but obviously there was a bit of idle chat between myself and the owner.

She looked like the kind of middle aged women who you would see on those American child beauty pageants, glammed up to the nines to give some chump a kitten. Anyway, during the chat she brought up the fact that a communion was going on across the road, she said "It's crazy these days, I saw a hummer limo pull up!" I interjected with "Yeah I know...I was happy to get 20 pound when I made mine..." or something like that but she wasn't done, when I stopped talking she finished her sentence with "...and a dark family got out of it!"

Completely taken aback I just cut the conversation short, took my kitten and left. It was one of those ridiculously in your face racist comments that leave you lost for words. I just wanted a cat...I hope my cat isn't racist.




















Naaaaaaaahhhh.

Summerhill

So the last blog I wrote was about having fun in Shankill and about kids messing and all that. This one will be kind of a comparative to where I'm living now.

The City Centre is class to live in because it easy to get places and I can stroll home from most nights out (no more NiteLink trips) but the negatives outweigh the positives, seriously. Take for example the locals, the last blog was about some kid being a bit cheeky in a cool way, the other day I was walking home and there was this chubby kid and his mate running around like mad cunts. When walking by them I heard "HAHA YOU FAT PRICK!!!" I thought nothing of it and that the skinny kid was slagging his fat mate, nope, they were calling me a fat prick haha. What's more is I was wearing my No Turning Back shirt with "Stronger" written on the back, they ran past me and said "STRONGER!? More like WEAKER YOU FAGGOT" Then chanted "skinny jeans, skinny jeans" then ran off. Maybe they were on to something. I guess it's better than getting rocks thrown at you haha.

For ages I couldn't even sleep here because of the sounds of ambulances going by, guess it was a poor choice to live 5 minutes from the Mater Hospital...and when I look out the window I see dudes getting sick and kids hassling Chinese dudes, not to mention the creepy cunts that do be hanging outside Harry's. A step down from the hearing the seaside and seeing Killiney Hill out my window and having fresh air but I think it would take me time to adapt to life without the din of sirens and fireworks.

Still though, I'll be fucked if I'm making a 2 hour journey up and back to college, but at least when I had to do that I went in more.

Shanganagh Cliffs

Today was me and Sarah's fake 1 year anniversary because Sarah is a creep who remembers the moment we first locked eyes, so like most days we just hung out haha. We went to visit my mam in The Heartland followed by a trip to the cliffs/beach. After living in shite town for 6 months you appreciate how class it is/was living in the suburbs by the sea.

I spent most of the time in Shankill on running around like a mad cunt and climbing on the castle walls up in Shanganagh Spliffs ran into a cheeky young lad (not a little dickhead from my road anyway) who told me to watch out for the cliff because it was mad dangerous, I told him I knew all about it! That I used to play up here! He looked at me as if I was 40 haha. When I was walking away he shouted "Is she your girlfriend?" I shouted back "NO!!" then him and his mate shouted "SHE IS!!!!", "NOOOO!!!" "SHE ISS!!!" "Alright you got me lads."

When I was walking away he hopped up on the castle walls and waved goodbye, it was weird.

When we got to the beach I jumped over the river, climbed under a bridge, threw shite at Sarah, saw a dog with a full doughnut in it's mouth legging it off and I didn't even have to use my AK, today was a good day.

The General Elections

Dudes are campaigning around my estate.
One old lad from Fine Gael, most definitely Christian knocked on my door a few minutes ago, hands me a flyer and starts staring me up and down.
Why?
Probably because I was wearing my Jerry Falwell Ceremony shirt and the dude who was campaigning looked exactly like him haha. Not to mention the whole Christian thing.
Robbedge will know how I feel.
He wouldn't leave my doorstep just chatting away about Eircom Phonewatch or something.
Awkward 5 minutes...

I love this shirt.

HOLIDAYS!

Me and Bryan are going to have more fun than anyone on Wednesday, super excited to see Find A Way for the 1,000,000th time this month. :D

Metal Karaoke is the best thing in the world.
Seriously.
Hel is adding more and more songs all the time so we're all laughin'

Last night me and Martin chilled out played games and drank a few tall boys.
Talked about secrets. Oh the secrets we shared.

I have an interview in Ballyfermot on Friday the day after we're back from holidays.

I thought it was going to be like old man Pickles is trying to take the youth centre and turn all the stray dogs into glue and Marley and Me save the day or something but it was actually very touching.
-Bryan on Marley and Me.

One Time

I've not updated in a while because nothing really has happened.
Like at all.
I finally get my dole pay tomorrow which means $$$ and no more debt.
Everyone is so happy for me I know right?
Looming interest on overdue credit card bills is never nice, especially when it begins to pile up, glad i can get rid of it tomorrow.
Hooray!
(So I can max it out again as soon as possible)

I'm sure everyone knows that Demented has split, I'm not about to comment on the split because I'll have nothing but negative things to say on the matter. Really. The people who I've spoken to about it know what's up anyway, so there is no point in writing about it here.
All I will say is that for the most part I tried my best the last year and put on some great shows and I'll continue to try and do so, although it will be a lot tougher now to get the bands I want.

I've been unwell for a good bit, feeling better then relapsing, today was one of those days.
Probably from all the laughs I do be having before I'm fully better.

Yeah I've nothing else.
Come hang with me tomorrow.

Get down with the sickness

Fuck that.
I slept until like 9pm today only waking up to watch the Merseyside Derby.
I've got lots of muscle pain, headaches and a cough to boot.
It's been a long time since I was sick so I was kinda askin' for it.

That's what I get for sitting at the door in the Boom Boom Room wearing wet clothes.
brr.

So the last few days were pretty good all things aside, got to hang with Jeff from Bomb the Music Industry and he was pretty much the nicest, most enthusiastic guy in the world.
Sos really helped out loads as well as the other Chewy fellahs which was real nice of 'em.
It's nice to have a break til the end of this month from running shows, no better time to be sick I suppose.
:)
Some bad shit though, WOUNDS showing exactly what kind of band they are by pulling out of a show we're putting on. Fuck that.

I'll be round town later on today (THURSDAY) so hit me up.

Achoo
