Gwan Larry ya good thing ya !

“Live Life – There’s no excuse to go about your business in a half-assed way. We are only alive for a finite number of days, and we’re poorer for every hour that we spend in soft-hearted pursuits. We rob ourselves when we submit to diluted entertainments and settle for second-rate gratifications.
Life is short, and there’s precious little time to fool around. Congratulations on choosing to lead an existence of uncompromising freedom of choice.
-Larry Flint”

I’m not sure is this a genuine quote or not, but its pretty true.

An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.

Its my time to shine. I have books in one hand, sunglasses in the other. Its time to step into the strong uv light in my backgarden and escape reality for a while, or make a better reality for a while. Something something something…

This was the temperature in the shade yesterday. I got roasted and now my skin is a bright red. I’m wearing my Peoples Republic of Cork T-Shirt today so the skin and T blend in well.

Too much to do this weekend. Have to collect my laptop from work tonight too. Have to get the skeleton of a website up and running and do some writing too.

All fun, all the time.

Looking forward to going to Tipton Monday morning. Nice to get out of this country for a few days.

Off to bank to clear my creditcard, then home to book flights to amsterdam.

Xeni talks about “Social Fisking” here and I find it an interesting application. I’ve written this kinda rant / essay and each paragraph contains one argument/point (its the way my teachers thought me to write essays for school exams ) and the idea of having a quicktopic discussion at the end of every paragraph is cool.

I’ll upload my essay/rant and do that. Add to my todo list.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it

I’m going through a book about GLBTQ teens at the moment. (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgendered Questioning) and its helping me figure out what will be needed and won’t be needed for the Irish Gay Teen Resource site. I’m getting excited at how it should work out now.

Things will start coming together this weekend.

Two people eavesdropping on someone elses conversation in work and commenting on that person and taking the piss out of them. Austin where are you ? I miss our conversations taking the mick out of so many of the people in work.

That is all.

“In the age of the leak and the blog, of evidence extraction and link discovery, truths will either out or be outed, later if not sooner. This is something I would bring to the attention of every diplomat, politician and corporate leader: the future, eventually, will find you out.”

Yes indeed this is true. All it takes is one person who can get access to the net or access to someone with access to the net and the truth will come out.

well …

Set up a profile for myself on Tribe.net
Stuck this into my profile:

When I was a kid I wanted to be a rockstar like Axl Rose, I wanted to write and direct my own movies, write a book, run a marathon, change the world in some small way, make politics work, make loads of money, have a family, get my hair dyed a wild colour, have hot passionate sex with someone special, get a tattoo, get a piercing, travel the world, go into space and have hundreds of friends. I’m still a kid. I’ll always be a kid.
