My best friend is a very cool guy called Luke. Been good amigos since about 10 years ago maybe?
But now i'm in college and he's still in school, so I don't get the chance to see him that often. Plus he has footy quite often now, and I have tennis and other things going on, so we don't always have a chance to hang out as much as we used to.
But still things haven't changed too much between us and we still have as much fun as we used to every time we hang out, even if it's not as often.

... it was last Thursday again :(

It was so brilliant (surprised I didn't post about it here.)
Even the weather was the same here as it was in Birmingham for the VE concert. I was getting soaked today and all I could think about was standing outside for those 5 hours waiting to go in to see VE.

So worth it though  :D
One of the best days i've had in such a long time.
Great concert and so happy that I met the guys, they were so sound.

(I posted this elsewhere but I need advise and soon, so please just give me your thoughts if you can.)

I just returned this morning from Manchester after seeing a match. I went and looked at the flights prices (from Dublin) and the concert tickets for a few of the remaining performances of VersaEmerge there.

I found flight tickets for only 15 Euro!
And the ticket for this GIAN concert is only £5. www.seetickets.com/gat/price.asp

I really need help on this and really soon.
I am desperate to go, and those prices are just so cheap. BUT, I have no-one to go with, going to another country by myself is one thing, but going to a concert by myself, and in another country would just be so weird.
But at the same time, I really, really want to go see them.


PLEASE someone advise me on this.

Edit: And can someone tell me about where Academy 3 is? Is that the / near the MEN Arena or the City centre of Manchester?

Thanks in advance.

Went over to Manchester yesterday for the United - Villa game, and it was BRILLIANT!

We sucked throughout most of the game, and even when the first goal went in I wasn't too sure of it, Villa don't lie down easy and we're too cocky when we take the lead at the moment.
Then Villa hit us for 2 and suddenly the whole atmosphere in Old Trafford just deteriorated. No-one was getting on the ball and playing it around and silly mistakes continued to be made. To me, it looked as if Fergie made a pressure substitution, and put on Macheda for his debut at just 17.

Then out of nowhere, bang, Ronaldo puts in a second and the stadium was on fire suddenly. I look up the other end, and the youngster from Rome puts away an absolute cracker; cue wild scenes amongst the fans including me almost being dragged to the floor by one of the scotsmen next to me!


Ah I just can't explain it. It was such an amazing game and day. I had slightly fallen out of love with the team, because their performances lacked heart and desire. Everyone thought that they'd just show up and the win is in the bag. But everyone put in their shift and they deserved the win and in the dramatic way that it happened.


My step-dad always says that i'm lucky and perhaps we had a bit of that on the day.
This morning we were coming back, and we were so unbelieveably close to missing the flight. In fact I don't know how we didn't. We'd been standing in the queue for so long just waiting to go through and suddenly it was 6.20 and an announcement said that the few remaining passengers of the flight to Dublin had to proceed to the gate immediately. We had to ask a few other people could we pass by them and, very kindly, they allowed us to pass. Then of course like every other time in John Lennon airport, I end up leaving something in my bag which I should have taken out earlier which delayed us even further. Genius.
Then when we finally got through, we went to the wrong gate 3 times, and then couldn't find the stairs to get to our right gate. We finally did thanks to a man at a café, and then when we got to the gate, it looked like it was too late.
Then a huge moment of tension when the woman contacted the pilot and said "we have 3 webs (I don't know); can we let them on?" ...
Then, thankfully, the pilot said " send 'em on through."

So woah!
But really, it was great, and I'm sure we had someone looking over us for the whole trip, I for one certainly did.

What a day for Irish sport Saturday was.

Irish rugby team won one of the most dramatic Six Nations games to win the grand slam in Wales, Katie Taylor absolutely destroys her Philadelphian opponent 27-3, and Bernard Dunne knocks out Cordoba in an amazing, and such a tight fight. (MIssed Andy Lee's fight of course, the main one I wanted to see X_X .)

But all of this, and all in the same week of St. Patrick's Day.

Now the footie team faces Bulgaria this week, should be interesting and could set us on our way to South Africa 2010.

What a week to be Irish.

Well here's my first post, i'm amazed i'm even doing this since I only joined for another simple reason but sure why not.

Sick of school, sick of work, sick of people, sick of moaning.


Just 2 months until I finally finish school. Wow. I never thought i'd actually be happy thinking about it to be honest. I used to actually enjoy it. I had so many friends and things were going great with the girls (shockingly.)

And all of a sudden, my mates have deserted me for no reason whatsoever, and I get some brutal results in my mocks, really nowhere near what I need.
What did I do to them? My first friends from here, friends since i was 7 or 8 years old, and all of a sudden i'm just pushed out of this group. Not cool enough anymore? Didn't even do anything on you guys, so screw you. All I ever think about is pleasing everyone else because I care and this is how I get treated. Ain't happening anymore though.

Results. Wow, I actually thought I did well and all. 22% in maths, i'm already failing Irish thanks to that muppet of a teacher so I can harldy afford this since I HAVE to pass it at the least, and needing almost 400 points from the Leaving I cant really be looking for just passes.
Even my Spanish is brutal at the moment, and I used to be so good at it.



But college (hopefully) in a few months, and I am dying for it. I can finally put everything from my past behind me, good or bad, and get a fresh start on life.

And so it's Paddy's Day today! Didn't do much, just had dinner with the parents, but spirits in Dublin seem like they're a bit better today and it feels good. Whether I was born English and am technically only about a quarter Irish, I've always felt at home here after moving around so often.


And lol, I never knew there was a horny mood tag for posts.
