Finding A Way

I’ve paid off my college bills that have been hanging over me for the past 5 months. It feels really good, but I’ll probably be in debt again this time next week when I fail more exams hahaha. I was in that situation because I genuinely thought that after the leaving cert you could just have the buzz and got to a couple of classes a week and turn up for the exams. I was mistaken. In hindsight I have learned some valuable lessons from my college experience so far.

1. Always no matter how unimportant it may seem, go to classes that are worth a percentage mark at the end of the year.

2. When in a lecture hosted by a babbling old American women who drifts from Romanic settlements to coins of the iron age try your best to imagine she is telling you the most interesting story about happy things such as sweets and cartoon hippo’s.

3. Try not to ear wig conversations about pointless nights out between groups of girls wearing too much make up and furry boots.

4. Remember that your reward for being in an Arts degree is that occasionally you get to study sweet shit such as David Lynch films and Chris Saliewicz biographies.

5. If at all possible don’t apply for courses in UCD.

I wish I listened to Shipwreck more before the gig last week. I got the album ABYSS and it is class. I’m really excited for the little tour with Find A Way next week. It’ll be good to make new friends and play to new people in Belfast and Greystones.

Today I found out that I have five weeks holidays due in work that I need to take by the end of March. It is hard to believe that I have not had one week off from work since the beginning of last April. Don;t get me wrong I have been away but I have worked at least one day of each contract week, therefore upholding my contractual obligations to the company. Anyway this means that I’ll be able to ake a few weeks off around Paddy’s weekend and the tour to England for From the Heart Fest. This will be the weekend to end all weekends. D.B.H INVASION 2008.

I’m drinking tea and eating Carr’s water biscuits. BEAST.

I’ve been vegetarian for a while now. It’ll be a year at the end of March. Before that I didn’t really eat red meat because it made me sick so I just decided to give up the other stuff too. I’m not necessarily an animal rights man although I think animals are class especially this lad.

I think it’s a good alternative if you want a kick up the arse to eat healthy. The reason i got sick from eating red meat was because I developed a gastro ulcer in my stomach from drinking to much diet coke (which I still do) and eating euro saver McDonalds. Eventually I got sick of throwing up and cut out all the shit. I’m partial to chips and shit like that from time to time but I enjoy food alot more now. Probably because I have to be a little more creative with my meals. Food was always class to me but now I realise exactly what good shit tastes like. Unfortunately being a vegetarian you miss out on some class meals like fry’s and roasts and shit like that. I’m not a man for substitute stuff like fake sausages or Quorn although I will eat them with the exception of Panda One’s ropey bacon substitute shit. Here are some of my favourite things to eat.

The Deluxe

I call it the deluxe because it’s DELUXE. Basically you cook some potato waffles in the oven as guided by the box. Next cook some beans, I prefer Heinz Baked Beans but some people are partial to Bachelor’s. I find them ridiculously sweet but how never. Toast some bread and lay it on a plate, get the waffles and stack it on top of the bread. And finally pour the beans on top of the waffles and bread. Delicious. This meal works best with tea.

Mac & Cheese

I love pasta and all it’s variations except Spaghetti (i don’t know why). I tried making my own Mac & cheese butit was foul. The packaged shit is sweet from Marks or Tescos but this shit is for real.

I have only been able to find it in that nice food store on Wicklow Street, Fallon & Byrne I think. I first got it in the states and I know Superquinn don’t sell it. It’s fucking the most amazing thing ever. TRUST THIS.

Lasagne FOR REAAAAL

I love lasagne and pies and shepherd’s pie but I haven’t been able to make a good veggie equivalent. I tried making lasagne with all the same ingredients except using Hadouki beans instead of mince. Hadouki beans have a texture like peanuts or walnuts but don’t have a nutty taste it’s hard to explain. Anyway this is a sweet meal and I think Chris and Dave liked it that time. Macker was too busy eating his last ever CHICKEN ROLL haha.

Stirfry with noodle motherfuckers

I got a wok a few years ago and they are easily the best things in the entire world no joke. Just get whatever vegetables you want and some straight to Wok noodles. They come in these vacuum packed white containers and I’ve never had any trouble finding them in any supermarket. You can get egg free ones too. You just fuck them on the wok and mash them around for a couple of second then add whatever sauce. I like Colman’s green thai curry or Cook’s sweet and sour stirfry.

I have loads more stuff I like but they are just a few. I have gotten so into cooking and coming with new ways to bring deliciousness to my mouth. I also eat alot more than I did because of the no smoke situation I think.

Current Listening: Soul Control and All or Nothing

Current mood: HUNGRY

I’m moving on/From everything I had to get away from /It was dragging me and pulling me slowly under

Time slips away/But they all stay/Negative lives and negative fucking situations

I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU

SO THIS IS WHAT I THINK

You need a fucking change of pace. Get out of these ruts.

When I was younger I used to get up at like 6.30 to watch Hey Arnold!, I remember legging it downstairs and watching it while eating like 4 bowls of Coco Pops. These days it’s the hardest thing in the world. When I get out of bed to go to work or College I’m miserable for at least the first hour of my day if not until lunchtime. Fuck early mornings.

I’ve been reading up about it and apparently because I have recently quit smoking that may be a reason, but it’s been going on longer than that. I know everybody hates getting out of bed. It’s a universal peeve. Morning people freak me out bigstyle. I mean how can anybody be that happy to be out of the happiest place of all SLEEPVILLE. It’s straight up wrong.

Currently listening: Ruiner.

Eating: Cheese toasties. YERRRRRRRRR

I’m so looking forward to the rest of this month. It will rule so much and it’s so class to have loads of things to look forward to in a month that is traditionally pretty depressing. Olivia says that we’re so lucky to have Christmas time and the whole buzz around it because it breaks up what is a really long winter. If you think about it the shit weather in this country starts around Halloween and ends when the clocks change in March. And she is right. Usually January is a month where everybody is broke from the Christmas buzz and is on a downer.

However this January I’m going to Kilkenny to stay in a plush hotel with my bimbo,that has a swimming pool YERRRRRRRRR.

New Found Glory which will be so class.

Blacklisted in Dorans which is probably the best hardcore gig that can come to Ireland at this moment in time. I think it will have a serious effect on our scene and hopefully generate more interest and help it to grow and grow.

This is the best time of year for American Football, because we are in playoff country BABY. Also it’s the bowl season for NCAA College football. College football is definitely something I’d recommend for people who haven’t seen it before. It is way more reckless than the NFL and it leads to huge plays and ridiculous shit happening. Like this shit…

I’m really excited about this year, because I’m so lucky to play music and tour with some amazing people who put up with me and let me play in bands with them.

About a year ago the TV in my room broke/started smoking because I spilled hot chocolate on it. I didn’t realise how much I missed it until the past week or so. My Dad got me a small 17 inch lcd tv and it is sweet. Along with my xbox I have everything a sad dickhead can need hahaha.

Olivia got me the One Tree Hill Season 1 boxset for Christmas, it is awesome and I enjoy the teen melodramatic shite. The highlight of Season 1 is definitely episode 110 or 111 when Lucas does the dirt. SWEET. I got Jake the Entourage Season 1 &2 boxset courtesy of Lugosi. It’s definitely the best programme I’ve seen in a long time. I recommend it highly. Smallville Season 4 is my current poison, I have Seasons 1-3 already on boxset and it is highly awesome. Alot of people aren’t so into the series because of the fact it strays alot from the comic, I don’t care because of the sweet storylines and cheeseball lines.

I hate watching series week to week. I have never really done that with a show and any shows I have tried to do it for I’ve just became inpatient and read the spoilers. Lost is a really good example of this for me. Friday Night Lights Season 1 boxset will be my next purchase. GET INTO BOXSETS.

Current Listening: Blacklisted - The Beat Goes On. This show will rule, I will probably die of exhaustion.

Current Beverage: Some high end Marks and Spencers ginger ale - - - SWEET.
