Whats up ?

Its me Rob here again,I haven't got much to say here today,apart from the appalling weather here in Ireland, which is probably typical for this time of year and the 11 other months of the year !.I've been reading some philosophy lately most notably Arthur Schopenhauer and Jean Paul Sartre, Its pretty tough to grasp but I'm sure it will all come to me some day. I've been doing some reading about Italy lately also,The Italian economy seems to have taken a hit since the recession ,The country descended into political turmoil but i t seems like a cool place to visit and its rich in culture and history, I'm sure I'll visit there some day.I'd like to see the architecture there I'm pretty sure its amazing. Last night I watched Rodney Dangerfield on Youtube, hes possibly one of the greatest comedians that ever lived in my opinion hes just a timeless classic. I'ts quite bewildering how he remembers all those jokes !.So today I guess is the last day of 2013 it was quite a boring year for me I have to admit,Hopefully in 2014 better opportunities will arise .have a nice day                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              It is a curious fact that in bad days we can very vividly recall the good time that is now no more; but that in good days, we have only a very cold and imperfect memory of the bad.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Arthur Schopenhauer  (22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860)

Ireland.

So yeah I think for this post I'll talk a little about the Emerald Isle.I was born in the south east of Ireland in Ireland's oldest city ,Waterford. its known for its famous Crystal.I think Ireland is a very welcoming place and I think this is due to the fact that we live on an  island,The fact that we are not connected to Mainland Europe by land makes us a little isolated.Castles seem to dominate the Landscape and really they are quite imposing structures,they stand side by side with modern buildings which is very contrasting.Churches also seem to dominate the landscape due to  Ireland's strong religious links.Ireland suffered many tragedies in the past such as the famine, religious oppression,war, and emigration.Ireland has a population of around 4.5 million people in the Republic and is one of Europe's fastest growing populations.The country is a Unitary Parliamentary constitutional Republic with The President as Head of State and the Taoiseach or prime minister as Head of Government.Ireland has a rich culture which is celebrated all over the world, many popular components of our culture include, Irish dancing,Irish music,and Irish alcohol.The countryside is made up of mainly grassland and in some parts Mountains,Just about 10 percent of Ireland is covered  in forest.I'd Recommend Visiting Ireland if you've never been here before it is truly a unique place but word of warning bring a raincoat !

Robs corner: Hello there.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Hello there.

My Name Is Rob Smith.I'm from Waterford City in the republic of Ireland.I'm 18 years old .I haven't much to say at the moment I'm just using this now to kill some time because I'm incredibly bored.Its the 29th of December 2013 and I'm looking forward to the new year.I have a Youtube account,however it fails to attract significant attention.I'd be very Grateful if somebody reads this blog.Just one person and I'll be happy.The weather here is pretty damn bad, its windy,cold and raining.Hopefully I can Improve this blog in the future but now I'm only getting started.I had an old account but forgot all about so this is my new revitalized account.I'm a big fan of books,particularly anything to do with history or philosophy.People do say philosophy is outdated or dead or they often attribute it to members of nobility,however philosophy can be very helpful and enlightening.I also love to watch Comedy, my favorite comedians are Eddie Izzard ,Dylan Moran,John Cleese,Stewart Francis,Bill Hicks and Billy connolly.There are so many countries I'd like to visit I don't even know where to begin,but on top of my list is France,Sweden and Italy.I been the martial art of Sin Moo Hapkido now for the past 6 Months and I really enjoy It.I think I'm Going to save up and buy a new Camera to make videos and stuff, my old camera is a Canon Legria HF R205, it's okay I guess but it's a little grainy to be honest,I haven't got much more to say so I think i'll leave it at that.Goodbye for now and have a nice day !.         This a picture from my home county of Waterford.
