Welcome to my world

ok so first blog post... here goes...

ok so it is exactly 05:51 on christmas eve and i cannot sleep, stumbled on a friends blog and said hey - why don't I start one? i talk enough shite in real life why not annoy the internet with it :)

so ya whats up in cans world... im in the process of watching that new morgan freeman movie about mandela and that rugby malarky only the web player its on is shite.... so i have to wait for it to load...

so far the movie is pretty good!

so i went christmas shopping today & my wallet came home very empty! I had this debate recently with my old man about how futile an excersice christmas is these days, it seems since I discovered "santa" wasnt real, christmases got steadily shitter... ah well just another excuse to go on the cans for free :D

on the whole note of this santa thing, I heard recently on some radio program about some girl who when she found out that it was all a lie she completly lost any faith in her parents and really struggled to trust them again! when you think about it we learn everything from our parents, as children we accept every thing we are told as gospel ya? I can completly empathise with this girl loosing any faith in her parents. if you think of someone finding out their parents aren't their real parents that persons world comes crashing down, every thing they have known has been a lie, am I overreacting comparing santa to adoption? probably... lol.

but i am not a total grinch! I do get somewhat into the chirstmas spirit, only this year it feels like christmas has been put on hold... recession and all that... it was only today i had any hint of christmas, i have been avoiding town for obvious reasons until the last minute and as i expected, when i went in today it was BLACK with people... but i must admit i was soaking up the atmosphere a little bit. Cork has a certain magic to it during chirstmas time doesn't it?

i was supposed to go meet a few of the boys for pints tonight but with that cold biting i said fuck it and came home, had a few evening pints with the rents & friends, got a free spin home with them so from an economic point of view it was probably for the best, but I was reading there on the PROC that apparently alot of cabbies are refusing to drive (as I predicted) due to the icey conditions, so rather spend the night in the simon community I came home early and endured the ice box that is my house...

so ya rant over...

merry christmas to all!
