I was talking to someone doing about blogging this afternoon and as we talked it hit me that there are very few secondary school students blogging. Well, I know a good few college students doing it, Aoife and Alan to name a couple. I think that, like all respects, people in secondary school can bring [...]
Photo owned by Simone Hudson (cc) As someone for whom keeping healthy is rather important, I knew I needed to find a way of exercising. The problem is, I’m a picky little man. I’m useless at running and it does bad things to my knees. Walking is boring because you never seem to be going [...]
In May 2007, when I was 5th class in primary school, the school turned 25 years old, and we had a concert. At that concert, they hired a pianist and a drummer to accompany the various musical/drama scenes that each class put on. I remember being enthralled by the drums. People can make music like [...]
I don’t know why I’m talking about my small dock, but I am. I guess it’s always made me feel different and ostracized from everyone else. Jokes aside, let’s take a tour of Tommy’s dock: okay, that was the last one Finder is of course mandatory, but I’ll rarely go into it. I don’t keep [...]
I’m kind of half giving an ear to Marian Finucane on Radio something or other at the moment, where they’re getting people to text in what they think of Tommy Tiernan’s latest ballyhoohaah as she chats to someone on the phone. I actually had no clue what they’re talking about – so I did what [...]
Preab san Ól, the song I talked about yesterday, tries to tell us to spend all our money on drink because ‘we can’t take it to the grave’. While we perhaps shouldn’t go that far, I think it has a point. Actually it doesn’t, but it’s not a bad sentiment. The truth is, people are [...]
In Music, we’re currently making notes on the set songs for our Junior Cert. So far, we’ve done Preab san Ól, an Irish Drinking Song preaching to us to spend all our money now on drink, cos we can’t take any of it to the grave. Marks for being technically true.. The second one that [...]
I was asked in the comments of my previous post about my thoughts on the Lisbon Treaty. That’s two guys putting up No posters on a flyover near to my house. Just two guys in a Ford Transit park on a bridge, hop out and affix the posters either side of the bridge and drive [...]
If you were in America last night, and didn’t watch the premier of Season 6 of House M.D, shame on you! I was at home slaving over Maths homework and trying to find AA batteries to get the Flip! camera working when I could’ve been indulging in 2 hours of Housey house, while you had [...]
I was wondering this at the wedding. Once I’ve gotten over my sense of nationalistic nostalgia, I’ll attempt to think it out and answer. :) As the botox of the good years has well and truly worn off, we find ourselves in a very grey humor, not unlike the weather outside. That clashes directly with [...]
