Someday I know I’ll find my place…

Hi!

So this week is busy. Im doin shitloads of overtime. Think I’ll be in til after midnight tonight! MONEYS!! SO in celebration of all this over time Im goin away this weekend. Me and Birchall and Scully and Big DC and EoinHand are heading 3 hours north to Newcastle tomorrow morning. Don’t know why, don’t know whats there, don’t know where we’re staying. Birch just rang me on Wednesday and said – ” All the couples are going away this weekend – lets do something crazy” to which I said – “fuckin right we are, I’m in “. Newcastle it is. Sent a few texts to the single boys. Got them in. Looked up train times. Bobs your mothers brother…. so we’re getting a train at  8.15 tomorrow morning, hopefully get a hostel or something and Ive since found out there’s a night club called “Fanny’s” and a marina – what more could a boy want. So I wont be gettin home from work here til all hours then back up at 6.30 in the Am – TIRED!!  Oh and the couple weekend fell through so they all have to stay behind while we go have a mad laugh! Being single wins always – no matter what…ever.

I found 3 more (think I mentioned one before) cool songs which I love…

Seether – Plastic man

The Mayfield Four – Summergirl

and Bush – Glycerine

In other news -

We might be getting evicted on March 18th…how cold is that – day after paddys day?! so need to be going on the househunt!

Its Cliona’s birthday today – Happy Birthday dear!

Missed Grey’s Anatomy last night – not a bit impressed.

Cats and Aoife are home today – HATE THAT.

I have 37 days to get my highly illegal 2nd year visa.

D-DAY on Monday – back marathon training, no more eating crap, no more smokes.

Pauline Fowler from Eastenders is dead. RIP Pauline.

Villa are out of the UEFA cup – hahaha Phil

Ive been trying to a get a new game on my phone but it keeps telling me I have insufficient funds – I have 289 dollars credit?! Freaks.

Was thinking bout when I worked in Pfizer the other day – it really was the best job on the planet. Really miss it!

Think thats all for now – better go work. been here 8 hours – 8 more to go.

Howdy.

Happy Monday.So the sun has been back a while now – lovin it!Weekend went a bit off plan  but did good all in all.

Thursday – DIDNT GO OUT! think I just watched TV and went to bed like a normal school night!

Friday – DIDNT GO OUT! Called in to the lads on the way home from work. Went for dinner with Birchall, it was shithouse. Then me Birch Faygo and Sculldog Millionaire went to see Zack and Miri make a porno. Funny oul film! Went back to the lads after and just stayed there!

Saturday – Got a haircut then went home and got ready for the golf. We drove out to Chatswood. Me Dave Birchall Faygo Scully Murphy Rory and James. Lovely course. Twas absolutely pissin rain when we got there but waited til it cleared up. Got out eventually 45 mins delayed. Played alright considering its been a long time. Had a good few holes. Scully was on fire – couldnt do anything wrong. He won it overall. But I was on his team for the matchplay so we won haahah! We sat in the clubhouse after our 5 hour round – I asked Birchall to get me a coke and he came back with a cider so what was I to do?! had 2 or 3 there and then went for dinner on the way home in a bar. Had another one or 2 there – so that was the goo on me – lets go out! We went to the palace in Coogee. great spot – good night. Back to the lads house then for a nightcap and asleep on my couch!

Sunday – Just got up. Think I have high or low blood pressure, not sure which. But every morning after a night out I get light headed when I go to the loo. Its weird. Just went home and went for a walk with Phil. Then we watched DVDs for the day…

This week in work is the financial quarter end. So its kinda busy! I will be doing a good few hours overtime! It also marks my 3 month anniversary in Oracle! Jaysus time flies.

Em not much else to say…i’ll think of something for thursday?!

It would be spiteful to put jellyfish in a trifle…

Hi, happy Monday.

I am WRECKED. Tired. Shattered. I wanna go to bed. And its raining.

So for the millionth time I didnt stay in this weekend – its 100% happening next weekend – dont care. There can be free booze in the pub with a live porn show starring Hayley from Home and Away and Im not goin…

Thursday – Actually stayed in! First time in recent memory. Just watched a certain TV program (you know it Gach). Think I was in bed before 10?! weeeeeird…

Friday – went to work (without a hangover!), came home and met up with my buddy Eoin Hand from home. We got some booze and went to the lads house. There was an Anti-Valentine perty on in the CnB. Most of us headed with great intentions – turns out we got steamboatskies and I cant remember most of the night?! Think it was good.

Saturday – woke up on the boys couch with a killer hangover….messed about there for a while then few of us headed to The Real Deal for a breakfast. Me and Phil headed home and got ready and came straight back up. Got more booze. Drank in the boys house again. Think we started round 5?  Anyway it was pissin rain all day, there was a festival thing on too so taxis weren’t exactly flush. Got to Cargo around 12 I think. Got in VIP upstairs for ray and Shells going away do. good fun up there. Phil also brought out 5 girls from tallaght who had just arrived,, they were a laugh. Went to Courthouse after…place was jammed. Got kicked out round half 4, he said I had too much…went back to the lads and had to break in and back on my couch!

Sunday – Woke up, was feeling grand. Birchall said -Lets go CnB for breakfast….that was 11.30 or somethin. So straight back down the pub….on the bulmers all day. EUUUUUURRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGJHHHHHH….was in bed by 9.30…..

So not feeling the freshest today. 1000000% not drinking next weekend.

Nothing much else going on. Some bloke got his hand bitten off by a shark on Bondi Beach – not cool.

Found a very cool song which I love. Its called Glycerine by Bush.

Ray and Shell are going tomorrow evening, so must call in to them tonight to say goodbyes. Shall be sad to see them go

Em right…later.

Bushfire Fairytales…

Hi,

So bushfires are ripping Australia apart. There was one beside me in work the on Friday, nothing compared to whats happening in Victoria though.

So a long oul weekend there…

Thursday – went out for Claires birthday. Drank in the girls then just hit the CnB. I was taking it easy as I was working the next day – they all got hammered though!

Friday- All the couples went out for dinner so me Birch scully and Emily just got hammered. We flipped a coin to see would we go to Bondi or stay in the junction. The Junction won, went to tea gardens but the queue was a million miles long so just went to CnB instead. Met Kate Coleman from Skerries there! Her mate was hot. Stayed in the lads that night.

Saturday – we were all up early, went to Tamarama beach and played in the tsunami! Then we all went home and got ready and went to the lads for drinks. Headed to Wentworth Park for a the dogs. The drink was dirt cheap there!! There were a few winners.  After that we were walking to Chinatown and came across this….we had so much fun….

Continued on to Chinatown eventually. Stopped in the Golden palace while a few of them went lookin for karaoke. They got a place eventually so we headed there. They weren’t expecting 25 drunk Irish. We were loud and boisterous and basically annoying. They gave us a room and we were the loudest people there EVER. Also they didnt have a bar, you ordered your drinks at reception and they brought them in. So 25 yobs ordering the same vodka and whatevers turns into a disaster! The mikes had some weird reverb thing on them as well. I got pissed off to be honest. So just sat outside to be honest watching the asians go by. Pretty sure there’s more gay asians in Chinatown than gays in Oxford Street. Anyway, after that we went to the courthouse. Was a bit shit. Wasn’t feeling it after the karaoke so went home to my bed…

Sunday – didnt do much. Went tto the beach with a few peeps for the 47 degree day. Went out with Murphy for a pint. Thats about it.

Today our heatwave is over – its back to 21 degrees – which is a tad chilly!!

Im goin home in 20 mins – cannot wait., Im bleedin knackered.

The new Underbelly is starting tonight. If you havent seen the old one – go watch it. It is class!

I need to start saving for this VISA so Im gonna try my best to stay in next weekend – I know it probably wont hapen – but theres no harm in trying!

Barry O’Brien who lives with the girls is off to Melbourne tomorrow. He is an absolute dude. I have the best conversations with him. I also inspired him to get some ink. Which he did. He is a big fan of Devon Luncheon, which is australia’s version of Billy Roll – 400 slices for $4 with a 6 month best before date – he swears by it! Also “The God damn cook’s a seal!” – he’s a big Steven Segal fan….also he made history on Saturday by turning up with without doubt the best item of clothing I have ever seen…check out that jumper…he’s been offered 200 quid for it!!

Right thats all I have for now!

Bye…

ps Gachie, you’re a hero.

A friend in need is a friend indeed but a friend with breasts is better..

Hiya.

So its Thursday – i love thursdays. Payday, last day I have to wear these stoopid slacks, weeknd is upon us! Can’t beat it!!

Its Claire Treacy’s birthday today, so we’re having pancakes then heading out for a bit. Friday not much is happening and then a karaoke bar on Saturday for more Claires celebrations.

Apparently our heatwave is coming to an end. Its 38 today. Saturday is gonna be 42 and 44 on sunday then back to 20 on Monday    still it beats snow and all that jazz!!

The frenchies in the house seem nice – theyre pretty quiet though – must be the language barrier. Also I think theyre scared of us. We had a house inspection yesterday, went well.

So I was coming in to work on the train as per usual today. Ive noticed it before but today was really cool – the train is under ground up to the point where it has to cross the Sydney harbour bridge to get over to north sydney. So once the train goes outside everything lights up and the sun shines in and on the left is a great view of the harbour and on the right is the best view of the Opera House. So everybody stops their reading and all that and stares out the window. Its pretty cool coz the majority of them are residents I think and they should be well used to it – but no – it looks like they all appreciate where they live!!

Have to start saving to pay off this farmer dude to get my 2nd year visa. Tis too late to go fruit picking – no that I wanted to, and sponsorship is looking less and less likely with this goddamn economic crisis! 500 quid for the farmer and 200 for the actual visa – wonder where Im gonna pull this out of!!!

Right im actually flat out so gotta go work…

Til monday…

Hi

Happy Monday! Im officially out of the country one year yesterday! Time flies…

Shman is Birchall’s favourite saying. Its short for Says Yer Man. I love it.

Had a good oul weekend-  the no boozing thing went out the window….again!

Thursday – went to CnB with Birchall and Timmy. Twas very quite there. Aaron and Fiona joined us soon after. We had a laugh. Was home for 1. Straight to sleeps…

Friday – Was hungover as hell goin in, still drunk possibly. Had a grand day in the office. Went home then and went to the lads for our night at the movies. Went down to the Bondi Pavilion. Was a really cool set up. The whole place looks like a prison courtyard, huge walls surrounding it. There was a green and an amphitheatre in it. At the start everyone was just sitting on beanbags on the green, listening to the DJ. Loads of people brought picnics and there was a wee bar there. Very cool. Then they opened the little theare and we got some seats and watched the Goonies -there was about 20 of us there. WHAT A MOVIE!! We loved it. Believe it or not Kate had never seen it!! We headed to the Beach Road Hotel after for a couple. Didnt stay long.

Saturday I went to beach pretty early, every one came down eventually. After a couple of hours we were fed up coz the waves were crap in Bondi so we walked to Tamarama Beach or Bananarama Beach as we call it. The wave machine there was on Tsunami mode. It was mental, I actually got a bit scared in there. You could easily die!! Plus I got a surfboard in the back of my head!! We headed home come 5 bells and then called up to the girls house for a Passion Pop party. Got hammered there and then headed to the Paddington Inn coz Aoife Murphy was heading home. Hit the Courthouse after. Met a psycho there I had met down the coast. Was home for 6 I think, stayed in the lads house.

Sunday I woke up with a horrible horrible hangover. Went home and died all day. me and Katie just watched Greys Anatomy all day!! Super!

Katie actually just mailed me there – we’re having a house inspection on Wednesday. So me and Phil have to make it look like we dont live there coz technically there’s only supposed to be 4 in the house – not 8. Dunno how we’re gonna do it!!

Also, the scottish couple, nat and bar who live with us are moving out on tomorrow and a french couple are moving in…french. deadly. I dont think Ive ever met a cool french person apart from that chick in The Beach. Should be a barrell of laughs!

Nothing much else going on, still in our heatwave. Besn sunny for a whole week now, 30 degrees everyday. Birchalls parents are in Adelaide and its 47 there or somethin mental like that!!

Emmmm……………work is ok. Ehhhhh……
