Diary 4th September 2014

Following are the dreams I had last night.

WE're marching down O' Connell St., Then I encounter trouble with opening my Quorn Ham. So I ask someone. When they tell me cool. Then me and my buddy is with me in the Secret Garden. It's circular in shape with plants everywhere. However magic arises when my buddy presses something. Then I'm in trouble when dandelions etc are trying to eat me. So my friend attacks the guy who is controlling the giant. My friend defeats him and in turn the giant, falls over the ledge. I then strip down as it's a nudist colony. However I see a cute guy from far and wide in swim trunks with some girl. Now funny thing is this particular place, ie the Circular Secret Garden, I have had this particular dream or place before in the past.

I then eventually got up. I was just gonna stay on. However I wanted to get Fair City as there's a gay character coming out. And I didn't want to miss it. So I started to get ready. I was between of not bothering with Lidls or not. If I miss the Inflatable ball, big whoops etc., I had forgotten to get up for 7am as I explained in a previous entry that I shall be getting up or staying up for Lidl or Aldi. Well this morning I actually had forgotten.

So onwards and upwards to errands. My first was to get a second key cut for my sis, as she has since lost my original key that I copied for her. So I went into Ryan's Hardware. I had my phone positioned so that the clerk could see my photo I had on Swarm(Formerly Foursquare). I was changing my Profile PIc. He complimented nicely on it. I was well chuffed.

So then I went onto Drumcondra Credit Union to get a €100 quid for the Lidls items. While there, I noted on my received that my Irish name ie George was on my Account. So I asked that I changed it to my Romanian name. ie Georgian.

Then I went back home to my gaf, to free up some space, as this time, I wanted to get the news, again for the same reason that my box was low. Actually to zilch.

So I set about again to get my grub in Lilds. I got my stuff. TO my surprise, I was actually surprised that the stuff I wanted was there. I got the last two items, of the Deep Fat Fryer. and the Inflatable Balls ie the Exercise Maps.

It was my intention to go and see Lucy and some other movie, of which I cannot remember. Lucy was beginning at half 6. However, as I was starving me guts, I headed to the Outhouse. Initially it was for just a quickie ie cuppa green tea. I encountered Dave. (Not the guy behind the counter). Hes a lovely guy. WE chatted for a bit. Then I also encountered Ronan. Hadn't seen him in ages. The last time I had seen Ronan was for Guardian's of the Galaxy(Review here) back in mid August. So the three of us chatted amongst each other. Twas great. I was getting a pot of tea for Dave. While getting milk for the tea, Mike who was behing the counter, was figuring out why he wasn't getting any milk  out of the machine. Well when he realsied what the true extent was, I got the fits of laughing. The carton of milk was inside the machine where the milk is suppose to come out of. It was so funny. Then I headed on to get ready for the next showing of Lucy for 8pm. Shortly before doing so, I was just about heading out to get ready, when I got enticed to a great but sad topic. The topic being HIV JUDGMENTAL people. MY friend Dave told me that when he was at Men's Night last that he was totally disgusted with how the gays, the men were being totally judgmental towards HIV. I can clearly relate. While I don't have HIV, I have its next neighbor the Hepatitis B. I was completely intrigued. And in that I learned that with the meds, that you must take them like a religion. His attitude towards the HIV, is that he DON't tell for casual or SEX partners BUT for RELATIONSHIP yes, a biggie. I was quite intrigued, and pondered to myself, should I do this. Cause If I NEVER told anyone, about my Hepatitis, that I would have buckets of sex all the time. But I was advised that I let my partners know in advanced. With his HIV he takes meds every single day. He told me that at one stage being with HIV you had a 50% chance of living. These days, over 90% of living a perfectly naturally healthy life. He also told me that if he weren't to take the meds, that he would be in critical condition. You see that's what the world needs. A guy like Dave here. To EDUCATE gays and guys alike. Like I have been preaching this continuously over the years. We need a guy like Dave to educate us all. I recently myself said to a guy on Bender, to go an educate himself. So then at Men's Night, Dave also reveled something startling, in that a VERY CLOSE friend of mine, had said something along the lines that HIV is diseased etc., etc., in other words he was being judgmental. I was so surprised to hear of such. And still can't.

So Brendan Searson came along, and was joined by us. However as I was in a hurry for the film, I popped along to the cinema, however  I was too late. So I looked at the time for the next time for Into the Storm(Review here). And it wasn't for another hour and a half, at Half 9. So I headed back into the Outhouse. And had more cuppa teas and a sandwich etc.,

So then I bumped into another "Friend". He was meeting some guy for what was supposedly for a date or whatever, the guy invited him to his place. Where I would have expected to meet in a public place like Waterford City or Dublin or whatever. Well I yet got into another fit, when I put the idea of him showing the ropes of Waterford City. I instead got the fits of the guy showing his privates as a tour of Waterford city.

SO then after such a wonderful time, at the Outhouse, I headed onto the cinema to see Into the Storm. I had 2 bags from the Lidls shopping. A staff member of whom I don't recognsie asked if I needed help in bringing them to the screen. Come to think of it, another member of staff again whom I don't recognsie also asked gave the suggestion that I didn't want to distub anyone. She asked when getting a ticket, what seating would I like. I said middle of the middle. However she suggested perhaps one where you wouldn't be disturbing anyone. I was quite bemused and well chuffed.

Oh what a night it it was hahaha. To think I was gonna miss such a great night. I think not. haahahah

Diary 19th July 2014

Another item, I forgot to mention was that O2 rang me last week. They had been trying to get through to me a few times. So alas they got through. All they wanted to know was how I'm getting on with my Plan. As in is there anything they can do to improve. As it happens, they were willing to offer me the Samsung Galaxy S4 as a free upgrade. As I understand S5 has been out for a while now. So why offer me an Oldie. He first asked me though what do I use less onto the network. I said DATA. So he asked which of the 3 do I use most: DATA, Calls, or Texts. I said DATA. So he said that he would double my Data to 4GB from 2GB.
I asked if getting a free double Data and/or a free upgrade would that extend my contract. He said, just getting a new phone, that would extend my contract.
Last Thurs with O' Farrell, I was getting the food and the sorbet as per usual. I couldn't enjoy the sorbet as I had forgotten to get the spoon. hahaha. So instead as the cinema was packed and the movie: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes(Review here) had started, I wasn't in the mood to start getting the spoon, so I just let it melt and just drank it.

While sleeping, Just before I headed on off to sleep, I was taking photos of my babes, the inflatables. I had low battery. I said I'd try a different approach. I use the flash light of the cell phone and use that and take the pics WITHOUT the flash of the camera. Low and behold it worked. heeheh

So I then headed to sleep for a few winks, as I had extended my sleep. So while sleeping I had dreams of me looking through a window at a concert ie people singing outside. Micheál Martin TD(Irish Politician - Leader of the Fianna Fáil) is dressed as a priest. Comedy ensues when I see a guy eyeing up someone. It so happens its Will Smith. He's in the bathroom, wetting his pants. I then attempt to get him back with his girlfriend and son.
I was while trying to sleep was trying to memories a scene from a movie or tv show whereby the character is asked how he did that. The character replies just use your "wrist buddy. "I then realsied it was actually Spidey from Amazing Spiderman 2(Review here). Andrew Garfield(Peter Parker) was replying to Dane DeHaan(Harry Osborne). I then fast forwarded myself in a Spidey Unitard suit for Halloween'14 for the Outhouse Annual party.

So I eventually got up around 6ish. Dispite the fact I had over 30hr sleep, I didn't care. But skipping tonight's event, was a big NO NO. So I got up and headed on off. On the way, I did my secretarial duties. I rang Brendan O' F, Mom and Maureen. I rang Brendan to see whats up. After much tooing and frowing He decided to come along. I rang Mom back to thank her for the grub she left me. It was sent to Voicmeail.
I rang Muareen back to see what did she mean by "Message from or about the Environment". I got this particular voicemail Friday evening. So I just wanted to see what exactly she meant.
On my way to the film, I encounter a woman, just as I was crossing the Kings Inn St., she wanted to know if I knew anything about Bus Stops. She mentioned she wanted the 16 Bus. I asked which direction is she going. She mentioned Drumcondra.  The location we were at is literally a stone's throw. So I said that if she wanted she could walk. It'd take about 15-20 mins to walk.  I did offer if she still wanted the bus, that she'd encounter it shortly. She was most appreciative. She mentioned that it was her first day here. Be it Ireland or Dublin. Not sure exactly. I said "Enjoy your time here".

So then eventually, I did meet with O' Farrell. He was slightly delayed with traffic. Which was kinda late. But he was here. That's the main thing. So I then went to pay for the tickets for the main event of the night. Andrea Rieu; 10th Anniversary in Maastricht. The machine declined it, even if it didn't ask for my PIN. I had checked my O2 Money account previous. Yet it was declined. Brendan found it strange that it didn't ask for my PIN number. Well it finally recognised my details. Got our food etc., and then headed on up to the screen, which was free seating in that we could sit anywhere. When we arrived, we were possibly the youngest of the lot. We didn't care. I sang or hummed to my hearts content. Music brings the greatest in me. every time. I was thinking of my Mom(Romania), I would get a bit teary, so that every time, I sang or hummed as I said, I would dismiss my Mom. My heart was palpitating on a consistent basis. Again every time, I sang to my heart's content, my heart would go back to normal. So yeah "Music Is My Life". The format of the show was as follows. There was an Intermission, and then Andre Rieu himself was interviewed. During the Intermission there was an older gentlemen telling another person that "Technology's a great thing". The reason this was said was that Andre's concert from Maastricht was LIVE from Maastricht VIA Satellite. The last time something of this was done was when Pope Francis, beatified two Pope's: Pope John Paul 2nd and Pope John 23rd back in April of this year. Throughout the concert, Andre mentioned a very interesting quote. As it happens he was introducing his next act. A woman who had fallen in love from another country. As in "Love no knows no Borders". The woman being from Ukraine and Russia. Not one mention of Current Affairs was brought up. Which I kinda thought so. As it happens, later I learned that Andre on his sight had actually extended his deepest sympathies on  his website relating to the Plane crash of the MH17 last Thurs. Andre introduced a 9 yr old young girl he found from Holland's Got Talent: AMira. She had such an amazing voice. She sang an operatic piece. Brendan told me that "Ode to Joy" is actually the National Anthem of Europe. I vaguely recall this. But never knew the extent of truth of this. We got talking to this couple: Marget and John who were beside us. They and the rest of the audience were totally mesmerized by the singing and the dancing. I actually and all the rest of us felt we were actually there at the actual event. Then at the end of the Concert, Andre himself was interviewed by the Presenter in Holland. It was translated for us into English. One quote that stuck by me was "Sell your gun and buy a violin.". Brendan himself revealed that he had attempted to play the violin. Andre's quote is very true indeed. His point was that instead of killing people with guns, is to kill em with love and of course Music.
So then when the Interview was finished, we headed on down to the tickets, to get get the Transformers 4: Age of Extinction(Review here). Brendan headed on home, as he had to get the bus.

So on the way home, from a wonderful night, I encountered the Salvation Army. I recognised the name quite well. Possibly the one in the UK and also possibly in the US(where they don't want any gays at all). Then when I came across the Kings Inn St road layout which is arseways, a car turned into the junction thats for cyclists and the taxi obviously knew where to go. He went ahead. He had a smile, however the car before him, driven by a woman, had  NO smile at all. Would ya blame her. Such arseways of thinking of the layout of the entering the street. My mom over here had such trouble at one stage.
