Simply Awesome, more like

I did a guest post on business blog Simply Zesty today (read here if interested) on what social media is: Social media itself is a very vague term – it’s one of these things you know what it is but find it very hard to find words to define it. To me, it’s the sharing [...]

Cast-off!

The cast is off. Admittedly I should be wearing it for another two days but for a couple of reasons, I’m not. A few weeks ago, we spotted specks of blood on the cast. We hastily removed the cast with a scissors and fixed the problem (cast was rubbing the skin off my kneecap so [...]

In Galway on Saturday night, the 5th annual Irish Blog Awards took place. This blog was nominated in Best Youth, Best Personal and (was really delighted about this last one) Best Humour. Going into the judging process however, nominees had to choose one category to go forward in and I chose to go with Youth, [...]

Despite the slightly worrying knowledge that there’s only about 8 weeks to summer, I really am looking forward to these [...]

Organization

If one were to make a list of important things in life, this’d come…. pretty damn high up. Without making this post sound too much like something you’d find in a chapter of 7 Highly Effective Habits.. (read: preachy), I think everyone should use a calendar of some sort. It’s common sense – someone who’s busy [...]

Genius

Mary Poppins.. as a horror film.

Life skills

There have been so many posts bitching about the Irish education system – this isn’t one of them. According to a new survey conducted by Newspoll for training website reasontospeak.com, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of 23% of people. Think about that for a moment. To some (23%) people, the [...]
