Hello there!. It's been nearly two months since my last blog entry and a lot has happened in that time.I've started college studying Social science,which is a subject I have always been infatuated with. Along with the learning, I've made some nice new friends from all around the country. I found it a little difficulty to settle in at first to be honest. There wasn't anything I really had in common with everyone else,but I sort of realised that sometimes you don't have to have anything in common with someone to be their friend,you just gotta be nice.

And so the winter as finally cast it's ugly head upon these shores.Damp cold weather will substitute the sunny blissful Days of August and September.I do love watching the golden coloured leaves, but I think it's ironic that they have to die to turn that colour. I think personally that I like autumn the most of the four seasons. It's a bit like a microcosm of human life,that stage where we're getting older and our days of youth are further away from us than our gradual decay. 

Recently my phone screen got completely pulverised when it fell face-down on the ground. I was really kicking myself over that. oh well. It looks like a stained glass window with the cracks.It will have to do for now. I have been watching some comedy on YouTube recently, the likes of Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr -arguably the Best in the business. I'm hoping to see Jimmy Carr live in December with a couple of friends too.It should be real fun (hopefully).

So I shall leave this blog for now.In between now and the next time, life will have happened.And then I'll have something to write about again..

Some nonsense

It was a lovely Spring day and it was my first time there.I looked forward out across the great expanse of glistening ocean.I felt at peace in this location.I was mesmerised by the emptiness that filled the seascape.Where could I have encountered such tranquillity in urban life?, there would be no equal. 

I came here to get away from the confusuions of city life, I was like a hermit of old times that sought solace from the corruptions of society.I noticed an old couple sitting on a rotted wooden bench, it supports them just as they have supported eachother throughout many years.It is now decaying, jusy like them.

My lovely girl was there, her snow-like skin glistening in sun.She had taken me here to get some rest,Her sweet voice was like the ringing of bells on Christmas day.She spoke profoundly about her hardships but was keen on telling me about her ambitions for the future.I listened intently to what she had to say, as I knew our time together was now numbered.She had her turquoise-coloured eyes fixated upon a lighthouse in the distance.She told me her grandfather had worked there many summers ago.

A Tear at the tickled down her Cheek.She was nostalgic of times gone by.I told her to not fret, as memories perpetuate ones soul throughout their lives,as constant reminders of the people we met and those we have left behind.

Well after a long interval, I have returned.I have been busy the past few months but everything is in good spirit still.Now we are in 2015, I haven't wrote anything in over 5 months so I will try include as many salient points worth considering in my review of the past view months.Well January was a pretty good month, I graded in Sin Moo Hapkido and gained a red belt. I am still quite pleased about this.In February I  bought a new dslr camera.It cost me 200 euro and it's really great. I will post some photos below that I took of the stunning Irish coast in April.This year again, Ireland won the Six Nations Rugby tournament which was brilliant, considering they won it last year also ! It was the first time Ireland ever had a back to back win.It was personally my favourite six nations tournament to date.

I had forgotten about this blog because I really don't like talking about my private life especially on the internet, mostly because my life isn't ecstatic or anything, so there isn't much to talk about mostly so I like to keep things brief at most.Recently I watched A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick.It was sort of unusual but I think it was a masterpiece of a film, and it is an in depth approach that analyses how power structures change in society- well that's my own subjective interpretation anyway.I must admit I am a big fan of Stanley Kubrick's films, the first film of his that I saw was Full Metal Jacket.I was impressed by that film and was astounded to find out it wasn't filmed in South-East Asia but in London !.

That's enough talk of films for now.Books never fail to captivate me, I seem to have an insatiable desire to read and that's true.Recently I have been reading some philosophical books by pre-eminent philosophers like Bertrand Russell and Arthur Schopenhauer.I think reading is a productive way to pass the time,I need to make up for all the precious time I waste daily on the internet.

The summer is here in Ireland, but I think we are still in the liminal stage between spring and summer - judging by the weather at present.I hope to make the most of the weather this year anyway.Hopefully I will revamp room during the summer too, It is in a state of immense decrepitude at the moment haha.So yeah I am happy to be posting in this blog again and will definitely be posting things in the future.I really use this blog as a diary of events because I never really records things.

Some photos  I took of the cliffs on the copper coast of County Waterford, Ireland
