wshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
well does my typing appear any faster ? am i quick off the mark today ! ? well what im waffling on about it the fact that as of 10am this morning we had broadband here at home!. looks much the same as dialup, cept the way that we will never have to wait for the dialing up again. and disconnections, and slow speeds. firewall was the first thing to be turned back on. best of course. have firewalls on the router and on the computers. emmm, as always an hour before the lads want to do something, im told about it. we went go karting last night. first time i ever did it !, enjoyed it alot!. 30 euro for 30min. suppose price is OK, cant do it in normal cars what we can do there. id recommend it. i might post up the results. the results were pretty impressive too. i figure that the cart that i was in had an electronic signature. so every time i passed the start/finish line, the time it took to do that lap is recorded, and a list of all the times are printed out at the end. with best laps, and best laps in the group and all that. going away with IMO this weekend. saturday we will be shooting then camping that night. then back home on the sunday. sounds like a nice little weekend. im sure there will be drink thrown in, and i heard mention of a BBQ. OK going to log off, as such. but not really log off, cos im online. nm!

Confessions of a male driver
"Driving to the office this morning on the motorway, I glanced to my right where i saw a woman in a BMW doing 90mph with her face up to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner!" "I looked away for barely a couple of seconds and when i looked back she was halfway over in my lane still working on that damned make-up! Ill confess, it scared me. So much, in fact, that i dropped my electric shaver. In turn, that knocked the backon roll out of my other hand." "In the ensuing confusion of tring to straighten out the car - using only my kneeds against the steering wheel, my mobile was knocked from my ear. it fell into the coffee between my legs which splashed and burnt me(changed from orignal)." "At that point i screamed. And the cigarette dropped from my mouth and burnt a hole in my shirt. Bloody female drivers."

5am ... ha !
although was meant to be up at 5am this morn... it didnt happen ! :( sister came in this morning at 8am and asked me whether i was meant to be in work at 5:30. i replied with no 5:00, to which she seems to agree then left. i lied in bed for a little while longer wondering why did she want to know whether i was to be in at 5:30 or 5:00, and decided that i didnt really, care and she probably didnt really care either. just trying to be nice and give a what-the-hell-are-you-still-doing-in-bed. i got into work, dying! :( i had a cold about 2 weeks ago, and it was gone from my system! and alas here it is back with me! :( not fair! BBQ on sat with well with army. steak, chicken, lots of salad. the cans were 2 euro each. what else could be asked for. the party was a little slow, so while out getting batteries for my camera(which didnt work in the end!) i picked up a cheap(2euro) football, which later was told to be put away because it was meant to be a communial this, and half of us kicking a ball around was rude!. i left it in the car. there was an amount of cleanup to be done the morning after, and one of our high bosses decided that if noone wanted to be subjected to partaking that a karoke would have to be done. my own personal views on karoke are basically that i wouldnt even subject my shower to such horrors. so as it went, luckly they did not start with myself, but at the other end of the room, and worked its way up, which was kind of a relief. but i suddenly realiased that i was left to last !. there were plans for 3 of us to sing to gether to mute out anyone of us. but that fell apart. so with enough alickhol on me, i browsed the book of songs and picked Billy Joel's The Piano Man. i dont know how i pulled it off, but the tone and semitone changes, and the all the tempo changes and staccatto stops all came out perfectly(well more perfect than nothing, and good enough for so many pints), you'd swear that i actually knew what i was talking about. emmm, got home on the sunday at maybe midday, the promises of a brekkie were tall tales, so the two of us stopped in a spar on the way home and picked up some brekkie sandwichs. i dropped him home, then came home my self. in a daze nearly! i wandered around for a bit. and then decided to sleep for a while. 14:00 i hit the pillow. ... ... ... midnight i woke, hmmm. without anything to do, i sent out a coupla txts, and read for a while, 02:00ish i went back asleep, until about midday monday! now thats ALOT ! of sleep. that brought me up to yesterday. and tried to go to bed early last nite, but couldnt get to sleep until 01:00 !!!, i didnt read, txt, computer nothing !. its not fair. damn cold. BB is scheduled for 8am on thursday, which is my day to work. so might take a coupla hours off to come home and just watch. kick them if they do anything wrong. They wanted to have a computer with a NIC, but my gateway/DSL router is all ready to take all the info, i decided not to confuse them. ill still blog that dream. i told it to one other person, and it didnt sound that MAD!, what do they know! oh yea... i found a joke in a mag today. ill post it anew...

who's mojo
OK first of all... i think they may have changed the layout for the blogger.com interface. looks nice. fresh. im impressed. went out last night, drink was flowing, didnt end up that bad at the end of it. tasted two new drinks... mojo, and... malabu with red lemondae. I liked the malabu+ it was easy to drink. mojo is a flavored shot. and when i say flavoured i mean as in flavoured like rhuarbab and custard, kind of flavoured. it was drinkable, but i dont know i would spend on it again. There was another alcopop type drink. it was vodka with a flavour, i was on the apple, although i tasted a blue flavour of it(the drink wasnt blue like WKD!( :( wasnt impressed)). i was on that at the end of the nite. emmm, having a BBQ tonight with the army. should be good. they said they were going to be drink all nite!, or i dont know how its going to work out. dont know whether im in the mood for another nite. though there aint much more to be doing. more on the gmail.com from google. found this intro on their help site: http://www.google.com/gmail/help/screen1.htmli said that i had registered, then forgotten my password, so i tried to retrieve it several times, i emailed them, and everything(without a responce!, i might add). finially i decided that i should just see if i could get another account. nearly all setup, got the request, then realised that the username that i had been trying to use was incorrect. tried the different version, and voila. i got in. ooops... see the gmail.com, not everyone can register. only people that are already registered can invite people to register. and only if gmail.com think its the right time. i cant invite anyone now. but with me using up his invite, with my old account working. i wasnt too happy. he told me to offer it to the bro, so he got one now too. anyway... oh yea. i have a dream that need to put up. its crazy!, but hey this is my blog!... i woke up on the thrusday(day off), at 9, needed to drop the dad back into work after him leaving the van in for a service. but when i woke up, i was in the middle of a deadly dream, and it was still fresh on my mind. so with the laptop close by i decided to write it down, there and then!. i have it somewhere, will transcribe it sometime. i got the wireless gear for the internal network now. so i can have laptop fully charged, with the wireless card in, and be anywhere in the house. not much good with we get the broadband in but its still a step in the right direction. BB should be here next thursday we are told now. they keep putting it off! why are they putting me through this!!! anyway, hawiaan shirt turned up so am going to iron it and have it ready for 7pm.

its monday blues on a tuesday !
alright... i started writing this blog really pissed off. im just in one of those moods. my sister decided that since she got a new bed for her buyday last week, she would not only clean her old room out but paint it too! so she decided to empty the entire stock of house mugs from her room into the sink for me to wash !, i didnt take kindly to that. straight out of bed, be in 7pm, i had to start making dinner and all that hassle. i wasnt in the mood! so i bought in for myself and my dad. later my sister got pissed off and i didnt have enough money to give her for 3 of them(i had 20 euro in change!, and she didnt want to take it). When i was in the chipper(patatboer is the dutch word for chipper, it directly means "French fries farmer"... i learnt that today... come on lads lets go to the patatboer, see how that goes next nite out) emmm... new thing on IRC for myself. i got this program that will let me stay on IRC all the time, when im away it will change my nickname, and when i come back it will just change my nickname back and tell me whether i have any messages or not. sooo... if i may have given any disrespect to anyone thinking i was ignoring them. i wasnt. emmm, up for 5am again tomorrow morn, thats in just over 6 hours!, hmmmpf, and i think my sister wants to sleep in here so i think im being kicked out. re above, i dont care ! "primal fear" is just on Sky Movies 2(sky digital) and its look like a film that i *might* just sit into if i was just in a mood not to stand up. methinks i will get up brush the table tops in the kitchen and fall asleep. i missed my swim for today. ill put the swimming bag in the car and go right after work tomorrow. tv just flicked... i would not mind a nice cool ping of cider, game american pool, and maybe 9 ball too. just relax. i think im getting stressed! thats it. im not used to that!, hmmm. need to chill out a bit. need to take a visit to relations in achill island, mayo, ireland. missing family. also thinkn alot bout the states, think it was about this time 2 years ago that i was over in the states. staying with all the relations, and like working and all that. i miss it alot!, the way it is, the way the people are. thats a place i need to go back to to. someday. hoepfully sooner. OK. hopefully my mood will cheer up soon. its hard to smile. actually some1 send me an email to cheer me up!

google gmail server...
Most people *should* have heard by now about googles new email servers. they are trying to bring arounda new era in webmail. first of all they have 1gb!!!(1,000mb) for email messages, where hotmail, for example only has 2mb. the second thing, which i dont like first off, is not to sort any of your emails, into folders for different subjects or people. what gmail does is sort everything itself into like related replies or conversations. The main idea is to search for an email rather than to sort it. personally, i have the names on my phone sorted into people i know from college or work or family or what ever(cept the special few of course). anyway, i got myself registered, noticed that someone took samhail !!!, so sent them an email say HI!!, i try to log on today and either i have forgotten my password or... some1 out there saw the email from me, saw that they hate me and deleted my account, i cant even get my password sent out to me. ill leave it for a little while and suss it out abit. broadband is coming this week!!!. is looking forward to it. also going to start studying for repeats tomorrow!, need to pass the exams either way.

Ludicrous Laws
taken from MSN today, some of these i can actually c happening! Information provided by Kaplan Test Prep & Admissions and dumblaws.com If you ever find yourself thinking, "There oughtta be a law ...," you're not alone. The truth is, there are lots of laws out there--and many of them can seem pretty silly and inconsequential. But they're bona fide laws nonetheless that, when broken, carry some stiff penalties. Crazy, but true, these are some of the laws they DON'T teach you about in law school... 1. LAW: It is illegal to transport a skunk across state lines. COUNTRY: USA / STATE: Tennessee CITATION: 70-4-208. Unlawful importation of skunks - Penalty.

As used in this section "horror comic book" means any book or booklet in which an account of the commission or attempted commission of the crime of arson, assault with caustic chemicals, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, kidnapping, mayhem, murder, rape, robbery, theft, or voluntary manslaughter is set forth by means of a series of five or more drawings or photographs in sequence, which are accompanied by either narrative writing or words represented as spoken by a pictured character, whether such narrative words appear in balloons, captions or on or immediately adjacent to the photograph or drawing. 5.

Bad Excuses for Speeding
1. My brakes weren't working, officer, but hey what do ya know...they're working just fine now. 2. Do you mind, officer, I'm missing Wheel-of-Fortune. 3. If you'd be willing to look the other way this one time, officer, I'd make it worth your while...say, a rent one get one free coupon for Skippy's Video Galore? 4. I was just making sure that your radar gun was working properly. 88 MPH, you say? Yep, it's in perfect condition. 5. I'm sorry, officer, but I'm rushing my wife to the hospital. Where's my wife? Damnit, I knew I forgot something! 6. I'm rushing home to answer the telephone. 7. I just took a laxative. Now either let me go or watch me go, your choice. 8. I'm employed by O.J. Simpson and I'm in hot pursuit of the real killer. 9. Don't talk to me, officer, talk to K.I.T. ....And the worst excuse when stopped for speeding: 10. The devil made me do it.

right, rolled out of bed at 11am, deserved+needed. went to work to order the broadband, they will be coming out early next week to do a line of sight test for the wireless hardware, then coming out later next week to actually install everything. so hopefully this time next week i will be typeing about 20 times faster. looking forward to it. When ur used to *very* fast connections, not only are broadband speeds slow, dialup which im on now is slow!, anyway i dont complain!(much) went for a swim today, gone every day this week now, good. should do more work int he actualy gym part though. ill start slowly, hopefully this time next year ill get up of my lazy... getting hassled about study for the repeat exams middle+end of next month. generally its just a flip of the coin when i succeed or not with things. ill be grand with the exams.

Two things that i will need to do this: card in the laptop to connect to the main router; and the main router that will connect to the internet directly or through my firewall. all for less than 150 euro! i like it. i fixed a bit on the blog that i only noticed not working now !, all the archives werent, working, well now they are. emmm, i was going to blog about a dit survey that i was grabbed to do, to drink lots of different types of orange, and like mark the ones that were different, and the ones i liked. but i dont want to now, so i wont... I have to mention my angel, the soulmate. (and its not that i was threathened to be beat to near death). what is it about women that just *love* that colin farrell. i just do not know! i think thats it. i had alot more to blog, but alas its not on the top of my mind so...

It was OK. was shooting in cork with army. met up with couple of corporals from IMO. and then aload of other people from IMO that i didnt even know. As soon as we got down, did the whole marching thing then found a load of lads having a game of tip rugby, and ignroing my whole back injury i decided to join them. it wasnt very rugby like, but it was an oddly shaped ball with a load of lads running around in the muck. I had both of my army trousers down anyway. ah well. Back kinda held up. did a move i shouldnt have. I didnt cry though! got given out to my my sargent saying that im the only one who he knows that has a bad back and plays rugby. ah well. got to cork and back in 3/3.5 hours each way, which is pretty good, 150miles, including stops. down with a cold for some reason, not a good weekend for healthy ppl it seems. two lempsips and early to bed. cept for the early to bed bit, got the sheets washed, and now i gotta put them alll back onto the quilt and bed and pillow and all that. and all i wanna do is go to sleep !!! :( and with that...

there is a "Search Assistant" toolbar on the bar on my winXP on the laptop, and its annoying me now! im online now to get rid of it once and for all. did nothing today! in for 08:30 and although i only arrived at 08:40, i found out i was meant to be in since 08:00. ah well. nothing to as i said. I was finished work as such at about 10/10:30 but lended a hand to others. my boss and his boss, as such, left early they are all heading to cork today, where myself and the other guy are going down tomorrow. acc is sorted in that we are camping on the base with the rest of the lads. I think i found a program called " Hijack this" said it would fix it. New copy of MSN messenger out, wonder whats in it, try it suppose and see whats its about.
