What a fucking weird week. It gave me a lot to think about.
Not one person in this town has an honest bone in their body
And i struggle to break free of the lies that bind me
i see so many blank faces in and out of crowded places
and i just cant stand the faces of the people i thought i knew
i used to say that i believe that their is something here worth saving
but i just cant bring myself to sing those words anymore
i used to love this town

here we go again
Why do we dance this dance through wicked streets and empty towns
like tortured wolves waiting to die we set our sights on the sea tonight
Can't you see how much it hurts to hear your voice on quiet nights
and watch the days melt away while hearing nothing but the rain
I am the lonely lighthouse casting hope into the darkest sea
where my heart still lies among the battered reef
i wished for nothing but sleepless nights and knives to stab out the light
sleepless night after sleepless night and knives to stab out the light
like tortured wolves waiting to die we set our sights on the sea tonight
Can't you see how much it hurts to hear your voice on quiet nights
and watch the days melt away while hearing nothing but the rain
I am the lonely lighthouse casting hope into the darkest sea
where my heart still lies among the battered reef
i wished for nothing but sleepless nights and knives to stab out the light
sleepless night after sleepless night and knives to stab out the light

yo yo yo
Its less than a week until christmas and to say that i'm broke would be an understatement. I seriously have no money. But fuck it what can you do. I get paid on the 23rd so at least i can do a bit of last minute shopping.
I have to do a stock take on christmas eve, fuck that.
A bunch of people went to Fibbers last night and it was a class night! The Golden hour was amazing!!
ZACH: DONT FUCKING START MARKY, IM URBAN GRIME AND YOU ARE LIVING UP IN THOSE MOUNTAINS WITH YOUR DART LINE AND YOUR SURF BOARDS, NO WONDER YOU LISTEN TO POST ROCK, ALWAYS LOOKING AT WAVES AND SHIT.
hahahahahahha i nearly fucking died and just when you think the night cant get any funnier we find out that Mark thinks Lee is Saul. The whole place got destroyed. Then outside when we were getting ready to leave 2 guys get agro as if they are about to kill each other and in like 10 seconds one of the dudes is on the ground in an arm bar!!! haha what the fuck????? Then foxy got chips and we had a chat about a female, haha.
All in all a class night!
Im seriously stoked on the next week!
Check out the new Find a Way song.
Im getting these made next month, i think i will get grey longsleeves with black print. Im only getting 25 made so let me know if you want one so i know if im gonna need more.

SUNDAY
I have loads to talk about but nothing i can talk about, haha.
I had the weirdest dream last night that my family were in my grandparents house after they died but it wasnt actually their house if you know what i mean. It was just creepy as hell and when i moved the bed that my grandmother died in there was a cross burned into the floor boards and there was really long burnt grass growing out of the cross. I just started freaking out and i woke up and i was sure there was someone standing over me.
People. I don't get them. Why do people talk to people that they don't like?? It just doesn't make sense to me. For example when we were on tour in August Ben and Jen told me about this girl from Dublin who talked loads of shit on me to them and made up ridic stuff about a member of my band. Now this girl is always nice to me, always stops me and has the chats and i always make conversation with her. You see i don't actually care that she talked shit, im sure she probably still does it. I just find it weird that she trys to talk to me considering ho much she likes to talk shit on me. But at the end of the day i just don't have time for silly drama with people who wont be round six months from now. Why bother.
Now on to nice people. I have got to know Tracy, Gajb and Alex a bit better recently and i can honestly say that they all rule. Tracy likes to talk about the most random stuff and i love it.
You should really come to this. It will be an amazing way to end an amazing year for Dublin Hardcore.
I'm heading to town in a while to have the laugh with the FF lads then im off to Tallaght and we are finally gonna do the vocals for the Find A Way record! I'm stoked to get it done.
I dunno if im allowed talk about this yet or ot but the last First Death show will be in February. Date and Line up TBC

Posting From Work
This is the shit!!
Verse played in Dublin last night and they blew my mind! They are one of the best bands around at the moment and i cant get enough of the new album. Throw in the fact that they are such nice dudes and life is sweet!
I really enjoyed the FF set. It was one of my favourites actually. Thanks so much to everyone that came out and had the laugh. How good were dead wrong!!

Galway!
Fuck how good was that??
I have always loved Galway, its the nicest city in Ireland and all the people are lovely!
I woke up and went to Glasnevin for an hour or so before i headed to town to meet the lads. We watched videos on you tube and shit.
I then met the lads and he headed on our merry way. I dont think that people that know us even know how vulgar the 5 of us are when we are together. we say the most ridiculous stuff ever. So that made for extremely funny times! I think it took us just over 3 hours to get to Galway, it was sweet. We found the venue pretty easily.
It was so sweet to see Noelie again! He is my favourite dude!
So many people from Dublin travelled for this, like 30 people or something. it was sweet.
Ghundi were decent and ended were class! I was happy with how we played, we pulled out mostly new songs and people seemed to like them, i think. I really like playing in Galway and i was into the venue! We sold loads of the new shirts! Verse were just amazing! One of the best live bands in hardcore! i cant wait for the next 2 days.
The drive home was funny as fuck. I laughed so hard. We sang a bunch of amazing tunes like GOLD, pokemon theme tune, loads of cramberries, the pogues and other shit like that.
Stall to greystones tonight

hi
Fanta from Ghana. Is it safe to drink?? haha im not sure.
Prevomania. What can i say really?? I bottled it. After a bad start i sailed through the groups. Robersh gave me a close game in the quarters but i did the business in extra time. I beat Jack easily which was strange because we always have really close games. Ben hammered me in the final.
I have not been myself lately. I don't even know how to describe what i mean by that. I just feel strange all of the time.
Ceremony played here the other night and it was my favourite set that a band has ever played in Dublin. I Love that band. But i did not enjoy the show. I hate the Boom Boom Room, it's the worst venue and it makes me feel really uneasy and on edge all the time. I never liked it, even when everyone was going wild about how it was amazing i thought it was shit. Its shit.
But all the bands ruled so thats what matters most!
Alex took this. The lad has talent and he is a really nice lad! Gwan Alex!
This Saturday Dirty Money from the UK are playing in The Temple. It will without a doubt be amazing. Stop posing and come out to this.

Its Done
Yeah thats right we have completely finished the writing process for the Forging Friendships full length and it feels sweet! We are recording it in The Hive, Kilcoole from the 26th of January till the 1st of February. It should be out by the summer. No release dates until we have everything back.
I penned the last set of lyrics recently:
"What the fuck happens to the world when there is no more money and the banks all close and all the times you worked yourself to death become meaningless, You see all i see are family trees and genetics telling me that i should be an angry man when winter comes and summer ends, am i my fathers son? that face in the clouds above, the lights that hurt my eyes every fucking night. My little brother just became a father and i wonder how a kid raises a kid in a world this fucked, I still rememer when i came home at 4am and he came down the stairs and said i have a son, i have a son. And i could tell by the look in his eyes that he would be a better father to his son than our father ever was to us"
Its fairly obvious what its about. I thought it was a pretty good way to end the writing process and i hope people are into the song.

That Lake
BACK ON TRACK!! STRAWBERRY FANTA! GET IN! Cheers derry!!
Wandering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you
If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room, yeah
That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do
To get through to you
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
What a tune! Fuck yeah! Sing it with me Zachary!
ha im not sure why but me and zach listen to loads of the same pussy shit!
Down to serious shit.
Some lad you never heard of once wrote "Don't make this harder than it is already, it was my mistake you know im sorry, i know that i messed things up maybe for the last time and these nights are colder than they used to be, you took my breath away and never gave it back"
Those words are seriously haunting me.
The last few months have been hard. New Found Glory had it spot on when the said that some girls are crazy! How can you miss someone you see everyday?? I ask myself that question every day. But the fact remains that i do. Fuck girls.
I spend 5 hours a day standing at a window staring at that lake. Im not even sure why i do it. Maybe its because im afraid that i will forget what it looks like or something, not that it looks anything like it did when i was a kid. but still. I know i wont be working this shitty job for much longer and it will be strange not to see that house and that lake every day. For anyone wondering about said lake. Basically the african plains was only donated to the zoo like 7 years ago. Up until then it was part of the presidential grounds. My grandparents lived in one of the houses in the park on said grounds. I still remember it so well, the big black gates, how amazing everything looked when it snowed, the weird windows, fuck i even remember the smell. I was walking by the other day and i saw a man walk out the front door and i was so freaked out. ha i have no idea why i mentioned any of that.
For some strange reason i dont have practice again until thursday so if anyone would like to hang out give me a shout!

Being Busy
To say that life is busy at the moment would be an understatement. Work at least 5 days a week, practice at least 3 nights a week, then throw in gigs, friends and getting other band stuff sorted and thats my week.
Haha and things are only gonna get worse. December will be about getting the Find A Way EP pressed and getting merch sorted, Getting the Young Wolves Demo recorded , Getting the Find A Way tour booked, Tightening up the Forging Friendships set. Haha not to mention Dirty Money, the verse tour and have heart.
January will be all about recording the Forging Friendships album. Im so stoked for it!! Young Wolves first show. Losing my shit at the Carrier, haha. Releasing the FAW 7inch??
haha now that i thing of it im busy as fuck until the summer. As a result of that i just dont know how many shows i will be able to put on. i just dont know if i will have the time, this is somethig i need to have a think about and chats need to be had about it.
Find A Way are doing a tour in the UK in march with Cutting Class!! They asked us to do it and we are stoked!! www.myspace.com/wearecuttingclass
Ok i better go get ready. Bye.

bear with me
Im a mess and i know that i sometimes let it show but the hardest thing of all is letting go
She said "write me another awful song so all my friends can sing along and i can act like i never cared at all"
in life you never seem to get the breaks and always end up regretting the choices that you make
but this is the nature of growing up
can you feel the nights getting colder?
can you feel your body growing older year after year
i still remember those Dublin nights when i just couldnt let sleeping dogs lie
i dont think i have been as sure of anything in my entire life
i heard you old your friends that you couldnt care less about the years we spent
25
It was my birthday yesterday. I had a good day. I met my boy nelly in town and we had sweet 3 in 1s FUCK YEAH!! After that i headed over to the cinema and wet to see Zach And Miri make a porno with Robbie and Claire. A few laughs were had but it was not as good as expected.
After the movie we headed to Dorans for Horse The Band. We got there super early so i got to have the chats with loads of friends!! It ruled!! Jack and Ciara hooked me up with an amazing pair of nike!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Arcada played first. Im sorry but i just can't get into this band. Oh and was i the only one to notice that after they played the singer just made out with his girlfriend till he left during real talk??
Bands leaving after they play is something that really grinds my gears.
Ran were amazing. Such good lads too!!
Real Talk! were the business!! They sang happy birthday to me and all. Thanks lads! Im gonna be well sad when they go on a break!
Im not into Horse the band. but i watched a bit of them before i went for the last bus.
Oh also wickedowl made me the most amazing birthday card i have ever seen in my life! She seriously must have spent hours on it! My mind was blown that someone i barely know would take the time to make me a birthday card! She could actually be one of the nicest people i have ever met. Thanks Tracy!
Im going to Fibbers tomorrow for Birthday celebrations! Stall!!

Fuck Wednesdays
We all have this idea in our heads of who we are meant to be
But what if we cant fit into the roles our parents want us to play
I always proved to be a disappointment or so im told
The only kid that never gave a shit about fitting in
I often wonder at the end of days
Will i sit back and look at my mistakes with the deepest regret.
I was always held down by the endless ticking clock
And all the things that i wanted that i could never have.
I tore out the years
Like pages from a book
I didn't care to read
I never thought that i could miss you half as much as i do
But these night mean nothing without you
I sacrificed self respect
The small bit i had left and reached out to you
And blew the only chance i had at feeling alive
This has to be more than words
More than some fucked up kids in a dead in town
more than some high points and some low lifes
more than a life full of what ifs and could have beens
Blog about my birthday when i get home.

yo
I dont have a Fanta picture, Sorry!
I finished work a bit early today so i decided to do a bit of christmas shopping.
I always end up buying presents for my family in book stores. I love books about irish history and i love looking at picture of dublin from like 50 years ago and stuff like that.
So i saw this book:
I had a quick look at it and thought it was class, so i decided to pick it up for my Dad. But as i was cueing i realised that he will most likely never even look at it. I dont know if i have ever seen him read a book. I seemed to have it in my head that because i loved reading that my parents must like it also. Where else would i have got my love for books?? Not from them it would seem. I found that so strange when i thought about it.
Anyway i put the book back and went and bought some dvds. I think i will pick the book up before christmas though!
im to tired to keep going sorry.
Oh also i was thinking about fibbers next thursday for my birthday. is that a terribe idea????

Fanta Rules!!!
I wish i had this much Fanta!
Find A Way are recording tomorrow!!
im stoked as fuck!
I wrote this right at the end of tour.
I know these motorways
They are the veins pumping blood to the far reaches of this world
When i close my eyes all i see are dotted while lines and traffic signs counting down the miles as swan valley goes racing by
im hiding panic attacks inside backpacks with pages full of reasons why i will never be good enough for you
we live in a city full of lies
and when all we need are sincere eyes they can be the hardest thing to find
but autumn rain just set in and it wont be long till the truth starts falling
with these amber leave onto empty streets and all our so called enemies wont know what hit them and our friends will scream 1000 songs of heart ache and when this pen finally runs out of words to write we will know that its winter again
as we wave goodbye to another loveless summer we will set our sights on stormy nights where the girls we loved are left far behind and the sweetest dreams could yet be mine, yes the sweetest dreams could yet be mine
Goodnight.
Jesse
I love this girl, She makes me laugh more than most. But she sometimes saysthe most silly things in the world, haha.
For example:
The other day she said something like
Jesse: "ice is so weird"
me: "it's just frozen water"
Jesse: "no but its ice?"
me: "yeah its ice, but ice is frozen water"
Jesse: "no its not"
Jesse: "say you have a tomato and then you make tomato juice, its not a tomato anymore"
me: "thats completely different"
haha then she said something about there not being water in fanta and i gave up. I laughed so much!!
After the ice incident we went to see Burn After Reading, It was a good movie!
I'm reading this at the moment and it rules! The movie seems to be loosly based on it from what i can tell so far.
Daraghs 21st was the other night. It was a good laugh seeing everyone in togas and stuff. Find A Way played and we were shocking BUT i had a good laugh, i hit Zach in the head with my bass, Sorry bro!! Ian Fox and the inflatable Gods were delish! They just keep getting better!!
After work yesterday i met Mac Kell in town andwe headed out to Greystones for the sambo project gig! Needless to say the laugh was had!
I didnt like Etcha all that much.
RAN were incredible!! Like so good!!
After The Math were ok but the drummer just seemed terrible.
Kidd Blunt are amazing!
We had to leave during them to catch a dart to town so we could get the last bus. There was some fault on the train and we ended up waiting in bray for like 10 mins which meant i missed my bus. Shit sucked!
I'm off work today and tomorrow! So if anyone would like to do anything give me a shout. Its my birthday on tuesday week! What should i do??????

Kidd Blunt are amazing!
We had to leave during them to catch a dart to town so we could get the last bus. There was some fault on the train and we ended up waiting in bray for like 10 mins which meant i missed my bus. Shit sucked!

Work
Pineapple Fanta! This is the real shit and possibly my favourite flavour! People seriously need to start sending me weird flavours! Its my birthday on the 18th yo! haha.
Work is the most boring thing ever, that being said i love the fact that i get paid for doing nothing. I had 7 customers today, somes days i don't have any at all. its the good shit. I
basically spend my day reading comics, playing ds and the odd time i bring the laptop in and play a bit of football manager.
I got really bored today and took a few picture of what i look at every day:
I watched that movie the Kite Runner this evening and it blew me away. I seriously suggest you check it out.
The Mighty Villa did the business in the Uefa Cup tonight! We were fucking shite but at least we got the result!
Right i'm gonna head to bed.
If you are at the party tomorrow come say hi and if you aint done so giz an add on msn loafyonekonobi@hotmail.com
bye!!!

Fanta Fruit Twist FUCK YEAH!!!+ Added xGavx!!!
Hi! So a few weeks ago work told me that i wouldnt be getting many hours for the next couple of months, i was pretty pissed off but i fuck it! So since that day i have worked like 27 days out of 30 or something stupid like that. Make your fucking minds up. Working there is kinda hard at the moment for one reason or another. I find myself in constant bad moods and when im there i just don't want to talk to anyone. Well actually except for Mags, that girl is sound and she knows whats up, i def have the lols with her.
Find A Way are recording an EP next week! I'm stoked to get new songs recorded. Its been a year since we recorded anything so its about time we got the finger out!
Forging Friendships are recording this album in January! I can't wait to finally get it done! I'm so stoked to get it out! It will have the 3 songs from the recent demo and 9 other songs that we aint recorded before! Come see us on the 14th in Dorans. I think we will be playing some old tunes that we aint played in forever! So stall the ball and have the laugh!
Young Wolves will be playing our first show in January! Im stoked! i hope we get a demo done before then!
Im currently reading this:
It rules hard! check it out for sure.
A bunch of us went to Glasnevin and hung out last night, the laugh was had for sure! Its good to have nealo back! Jack decided to put on a face mask!
I can't belive how cold it has been recently! That being said im loving it, haha. I love the whole build up to Christmas! Last christmas in the house i grew up in too! Weird for sure!
More Later.

Pineapple
So im sitting in classnevin listening to Lifetime. Listening to Lifetime is always the best part of my day, is that fucked??haha. Im about to have a pineapple fanta! Fuck yes!!
Work was boring as fuck, we talked about christmas and shit. One of the lads was telling me that one year his dad set up the video camera and he would pause it, then stick a present under the tree, then unpause it and repeat the process like 20 times. I thought that it was the best shit ever and if i ever have kids its something i will def do. Lets be honest, the only time that you were ever truely happy in your life was when you still believed in the big man. Once you find out that he is not real you start to question everything and you realise that the world is fucked. I reckon i would give anything to feel that proper christmas feeling again just once, that was the real shit.
My brothers girlfriend went into labor this morning so id imagine im an uncle at this stage. i wonder what its gonna be like having a baby around the house, weird i reckon!!
My granny was 95 recently and she is still kicking it like its 1969!! she lives on her own and she still takes a stroll everyday, plays cards with the lads a few nights a week, listens to nu metal and is basically living the dream! It amazing the strange things you remember from over the years, she digs steve davis, she is killer at checkers, she hates chess, she never uses the front door of her house only the back, she always gives me caramelized onions even though she knows i hate them, she has it in her head that i still love the power rangers, everytime i see her she asks me what the red rangers name is? but i dont have the heart to tell her he is now a gay porn star. I dunno what im getting at here really. She has been sick the last week or so and i reckon she deserves a mention.
Im going to London on tuesday. If you are around come say hi!!!

Hanging out is what we do best
Its 11am on a thursday morning and im listening to Tiger Jaws wishing i was drinking a Strawberry Fanta.
Im trying to think what i have been up to lately. I have basically been working 5 days a week and most weeks i would have 4 practices. Haha yeah im busy BUT i found out yesterday that im only getting 2 days a week in work after next week. Its such bullshit. I have been working there for 8 years and i feel let down more than anything. Im fucked for money now but whatever. At least i get to spend more times with friends doing shit that i actually care about. Yo so hit me up and we will hang out, i dont get to see enough of people.
So when Forging Friendships got back from tour we were meant to record this album but instead we wrote another bunch of new songs, i dont think we will play any of them live till we get the album out. im 99% sure we will have it out this spring. We have a bunch of shows coming up:
Anyone wanna hang out today??

Young Wolves
Im not sure if many people know this but i joined another band recently. I reckoned i needed an outlet for some of the more positive stuff i was writing and this was the perfect chance. Believe it or not i actually attempt to sing. Its like Saves the day meets Daggermouth or something. Im really enjoying it so expect a demo soonish. there is a myspace page if you want a look: www.myspace.com/youngwolveshc
I rang in sick to work today. I watched so much tv.
Has anyone seen that movie Reign over me?? I watched it tonight and thought it ruled. its about a man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City and how he bumps into his old college roommate and the dude trys to help him through his shit. Its heart wrenching stuff and adam sandler is class in it.
I had no money this week to buy Comics. Gutted.

We are the same
Today i listened to Saves The Day. It made me feel a bit better.
Im currently drinking a can of this:
My personal life is fucked at the moment but i dont have the time to go into that. Im going to london next week to see To Kill, Liferuiner and Recon with the lads so that will take my mind off shit. In fact im pretty stoked on the trip.
Fuck work fuck work FUCK WORK!!! I need to get out of that place. Its actually driving me insane. I hate everything about the place. There are so many idiots that i would straight up love to punch in the face. Its actually soul destroying getting up in the mornings and going into that place. My boss John is a cool dude and thats most likely the only reason i still work there. There is this christmas party coming up and its in the city west hotel and like 20 people can go. so i was told that managers, supervisors and full time staff are going. So i was thinking yeah maybe i will go and have the laugh with Jason and Sarah(the 2 supervisors i work with, both really cool people)So i was chatting to them this morning and i was asking them if they were going and they didnt even get invited. I thought that was bullshit so i decided not to go. Fuck that type of shit.
Its my birthday next month, i have no idea if i will do anything though.
Why do dudes put out amazing acoustic albums and then ruin themselves by putting out some piece of shit full band country album or some shit. fuck that.
It happens way to much.
RATS OUT
I wish my life was the final scene in an American Pie movie or some shit. tht would be rad. Someone dance with me. I will right you some songs or something yeah?? girls dig that right??appreciate it yeah??? get the fuck out of my life...
I need more fanta. ha i have never been more sarcastic in my life.

Our news, Today is tuesday.
Hi, How is everyone??
Work at the moment is actually the most boring shit ever. I had 6 cutomers today in 6 hours. I seriously get through a half a season of Fifa on the DS every day. I spent one day last week just doing training, thats how boring it gets. Don't ask me why but for some reason i said that i would do an extra day next week, Maybe i'm trying to drive myself crazy or something, oh and get this, there is a sweet radio but the CD player on it is broken. What the fuck???
I was sick to death of fifa yesterday so i read this:
It's called Superman Red Son. It's basically about what would have happened if superman had of landed in the soviet union instead of america and was brought up as a communist. It's an amazing read and you should really check it out. Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, sure what else could you want.
I walked most of the way home from work today and it was nice to clear my mind and listen to some Lifetime!!
Someone pointed out that not everyone can comment my blog so i sorted that out.
Did you know that In Rwanda it is common to refer to all soft carbonated drinks as Fanta. Beverages which are not part of the Fanta range are also frequently preceded by the word Fanta, for example Fanta Coca for Coca Coca, and Fanta Sprite. WEIRD!!
It's kinda like the way Jon Boyce calls all Crisps Tayto!
If you wish to send me weird flavours of Fanta you can send them to:
Ian Kelly

Glasnevin North
Dublin 11
IRELAND
Hahaha Cheers!!

Forest Gump
I'm off work again today. I'm not sure if i will even end up leaving the house today but i might be hanging out with Laura and Chris. I have been feeling pretty good lately, life is sweet and i have some of the best friends a dude could ask for. That being said i also have a couple of shitty friends, i'm getting pretty sick of making plans with people and then they just dont bother to reply to texts and shit. I guess i'm not bother trying anymore, shit just isnt worth it. If i'm being honest i'm not sure why i have been trying so hard anyway, fuck it i'm done with that now anyway.
"If you hate your job, then you gotta quit, if you hate your city you gotta split. It´s not so hard to cut those ties and cut away. Just know: your friend are always behind you. Where ever you go, they´ll always be there, like you where always there for them, so thank you. For giving me hope, and making me go headstrong, heartstrong, and all out. And sometimes it´s like blake said (it best) when he wrote, "Did that no one everlive a life this hard?" ´Cause it gets hard, and it gets bleak, and sometimes you´ve gotta go it alone. But see it through, brave the storm and you´ll see that, come dawn, your friends are all behind you."
FUCK YEAH!!!! I love death is not glamorous!!!!!!
Nealo is back next month and i'm excited to go get a 3 in 1 and shit!! Keep aneye out for his new band! they will rule!!
To say that their are a few shows coming up would be a huge understatement! I'm so excited for the next few months!
I somehow managed to fuck up my shoulder last night. I'm actually in so much pain right now. haha.
I'm having a movie night with Sabrina tomorrow. She has never seen Forest Gump, What the fuck???
Thats all for now. Cheers.

This Is Dublin
I got really shit at updating my old blog and i was getting so many spam mails so i decided to make a change.
I have not been up to much lately. Just working and shit like that. I had the day off work yesterday, infact im not back in till monday which rules! I basically sat around yesterday reading comics.
I'm digging all the Civil War stuff at the moment!!
As you may or may not know, i have the internet at home again. It rules!
I spent the last few nights catching up on the tv that i have been missing out on.
I got myself up to date on One Tree Hill and Heroes! Both shows rule!! haha
I have recently discovered that fanta from the cinema is the greatest shit ever!!
I also love Fanta from can ora 1.5 litre bottle but im not to much into it from a 500ml bottle. Weird i know. I also heard about this recently:
Someone from the US please hook me up!!
The mighty Villa have got off to an amazing start this season. we won in the uefa cup last night and we made it through to to the group stages! I'm hoping we can have a decent run in the competition!
OK thats all for now. Cheers for reading!!
