Diary 23rd June 2015

Well what a record. After 35hr staying up, it was mind blowing. haahaha. I was doing my marathon of Knots Landing. So afterwards, I headed onto bed. Now keeping in mind, the bank is DR for 48hrs, I am hoping that they won't "Unpaid", thats my only worry. More than likely they will slap their Over Drawn Direct Debit fee, will be put onto. However when I went to get up for 4.35pm as the Post Office is closed at half 5pm, I decided ara I'll try for my sis. As its our day that I visit her. Or she visits me. haahh. However I contacted her via SMS, nothing, then I rang her and she said that she hadn't slept well, So I just went back to sleep for a further few hrs.

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 13th August 2014

Well today had come and my excitement for Joseph(Review here) had arrived. I was most excited to see the production. Maureen(Nun) had previously told me the story of Joseph. I met Brendan and Daniel at the NCI College, and we all headed on off to Bord Gais Energy Theater. I was there the last time for the Big Gay Sing, in aid of Marriage Equality. We again waited outside for a few minutes. After the popcorn was the not the best the last time, I was a abit hesitant in getting it again. So I decided to try it. So I got the SMALL version this time, just in case. It wasn't as bad. The salt level was low and the most important it was stale as O' Farrell says. hahah. So then we all went in. Then at the Interval, we went for a toilet break. I got my scrumptious Green Tea. mmmmm. Then we all went back in. After a wonderful performance, we all headed on home. We left Brendan at his Bus. Then I walked with Daniel to Baggot St., where he lives. On the way, I encountered gorgeous buildings. Twas lovely to experience such wonderful place. I explained to Daniel, that when I walk, I'd to be thinking and of course we don't have to concentrate etc., hahaha. Whereby if your cycling or driving ya have to concentrate on the road.

On the way home, after leaving Daniel, I accidentally ended my Fitness Apps, which was a pity if ya ask me, cause one of the apps, I have NOW allows me to post to DailyMile and then in question on Facebook. Whereby previously I had to Map my route on my own. So then I stopped by Gay Spar(as Mike told me a few weeks ago the Spar on the corner of George's St/Dame St where all the gays go for whatever) to see if I could get a sandwich, as I keep forgetting to take out a bread outta the freezer. To my surprise n shock n horror they didn't have any Vegetarian or at least Meat Free sandwiches let alone salads. I was quite taken aback. So then onwards and upwards towards Londis where Subway is on O' Connell St., So then I headed on home via Drumcondra and got myelf a Veggie Burger n Curry Chips. I was most impressed with the service. When I got home, I saw a takeout, says I to meselfe "Fuck it, she don't trust me". The reason I says so, she don't trust me to eat on my own. She being my Mom. Well assuming it was her who put it on my bike.

On the way home, I decided to try the OK Google feature on my Android Cell Phone. I wanted to remind me about the Bread int he freezer, SO I said the following "OK Google, Remind me to take bread out of freezer. And would ya believe it, it worked. Quite freeky, might I add . hahaha. Am waiting for the the actual time." Then I tried S Voice provided by Samsung. And as it happens it saved the reminder in Google Calender. Whereas the OK Google, as provided by Google Now, saved the reminder there.

Diary 12th August 2014

As I was falling asleep at the computer, of which I hate - hahahaah I headed on to bed earlier than normal. So then I heard a doorbell ring my Aunty rang the doorbell once, of which I ignored. Nothing new hahahah.

However, at around 2ish half 2, my sis called round. She was in a state. I tried calming her down. She uses alcohol to her help her etc., However she couldn't stop. She told me hundreds of times, that her ex(of which shall remain nameless, he doesn't even deserve space on my Blog) had raped her. She was "Coherent" as she puts it, he even threatening that he'd shoot her with a rifle gun if she didn't do what he said. Thats what I could gather. I got her a cuppa tea. I thought that would help her, It did to a certain. But she was getting increasingly agitated. So she took another can. Of which we then learned was to be of her last. She rang the cops. But as she was severely intoxicated, the cops couldn't take a statement from her. So the other Garda interviewed(informal of course) me. I told him of my disgust that I didn't have time for the likes of him etc., So she then went into an epileptic fit, banging her head etc., That scared me really. Me not knowing what to do. The Garda told me to help him as had got a call on his cell phone. So it was found in the end that she would be required to go to the hospital. SO I'm hoping that she'll be transferred to a psychiatric facility(which as it happens is beside me). So she's currently safe and sound in the hospital. Hopefully all things will be grand. As I said, the road to recovery has started, the fact that she came to me. She was clearly highly suicidal. So she now has the help alrite. I then went back to the hospital as she left her meds etc., behind. She was asleep when I arrived. Oh I had a little cry or distress or whatever u wanna call it when she was having the fit. Like me not knowing what to do. Oh and get this, My Landlord came round when my sis was having the epileptic fit. Says I to myself, "Great timing". Like I had rang him regarding the flood, a few weeks ago and he only shows up today of all days.

Well at aleast he's done his bit now. Until the next flood. hahahah. So I asked if he needed me for anything, as I was heading out to get my dole. He then asked me if he could move the Sand bags. I was initially gonna say to him to leave him, but then I began to think of my back. So I said yeah sure go ahead. I then headed to onto the dole. I told the clerk that a person has left keys behind. She sniggered in that something like "God he left a lot behind". She then asked if there was anything else. I said nope, "Just your machines". So then I moved onto AIB my bank. There was an auld lad there ahead of me, standing at the machines. He tells me and I quote, "Why the fuck wouldn't they have just one working at least". BOTH machines were being maintained BUT at the same time. So we had to wait. Just as I was about to head out, the machines were working away.

So then I have been looking at TV at home. I was looking at Dr. Phil. An interesting topic was being discussed. In that the mother Darlene(I think) was very worried that her daughter Abby who recently converted to Islam. However the daughter being from Texas, USA, has been subjected to Racism as she wears Muslim Clothing. She plans on moving to Saudi Arabia. Now the culture in Saudi Arabia for women, is they cannot be seen let alone heard. Abby is under the illusion that she has lived her life int eh USA, ie Education, Driving etc., and she just wants to be "Hidden". Like an example. One rule in Saudi Arabia is Women are NOT allowed to Drive. Her attitude. So what, I don't like Driving. Something like that. When Dr. Phil was reading out the Rules on his screen to Abby, I noticed her body language. To that of worry etc., ie she don't know whats she putting herself into. I can see where the mother, Darlene is coming from. BUT to call the faith Islam to be of Terrorist, yeah I think that's a bit far fetched in my eyes. Its like in my opinion Gays being Pedo or whatever or Priests in Catholicism being Rapists etc., My point being is NOT EVERYONE in Islam is a Terrorists, Likewise Gays  and Priests. So Darlene's accusation to think that Islam is a Terrorist Religion, yeah that's a bit far fetched alrite. Dr. Phil asked Abby what does she NOT like about America. She claims America has TOO much freedom, might I add. She explained thou that she'd rather OLD culture.

Then on my sex Facebook, I had gotten a message from one of my mates, and noted that all my messages were marked as Spam as in to protect me etc.,. I initially ignored it. However when the friend told me that he WOULDN'T report me, I then began to investigate. I Goolged(being my best friend). One was found that if I use a Mobile app, then my friend thought something appeared on my  Lappy. So then I said I'd try and log into my FB account using the App. That did though bring something about. It would appear that my account could have  been hacked into. As their was a pic(of which is hot btw hahaha)  had a guy being given a blow job BUT the dick being covered by a football). I vaguely don't recall uploading the pic, considering the content that FB is totally against.

Good point made on Midday, relating to Robin Williams tragic passing. In that one of the panelists was saying that no matter how happy he was ie while acting etc., that deep down is was really really sad. "He'd fought the fight for so many years, and it just got the better of him. He jsut couldn't beat it. "t

Diary 15th June 2014

I got up with great excitement to the highlight of the calendar year. The Big Gay Sing in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. It was truly an amazing event. It was announced towards the end of the night, that it raised over €35k towards Marriage Equality. We will need every cent of it, to win the Referendum next year. I first met O' Farrell at the NCI and we headed on over to Bord Gáis Energy. This was gonna be a Birthday to never forget for him. I treated him to a Birthday night he'd never forget. So then we were asked to wait outside the auditorium. We had popcorn. The popcorn was not the best quality I've ever had. Very salty and NOT fresh sense of taste, I was getting. We bumped into two guys, one of which we recognised from the Outhouse. Although it took a bit of time for me to recognise him. hehehe. So afterwards we all went into the Auditorium. We waited a few minutes for the Concert to start. The view was a bit disturbing, in that the roof of the above seating was in the way of the view of the concert. So shortly before the concert started, we were informed by the staff, that a row was nearer the view of the view of the stage was available. So we could sit anywhere. We were so lucky, in that the view was much better.

So after a while, the curtain was raised and after awhile we were treated by Ms Panti(aka Rory O' Neill). I've always adored him and inspired by him. The concert got off to a lively start via an onscreen whereby the lyrics were onscreen and we could sing to our hearts content. WE belted out the tunes of The Sound of Music Medley, It was spectacular then a few other tunes. Then Dancing Queen came, more tunes were belted out. Then it came time for an interval. So Brendan went out first to get a coke, and then I followed him, I got Roberts Green Tea. Beautiful it was. Then after went back in with him. The two guys we met(One from being in the Outhouse and his mate)  joined us.  Ms Panti then paid tribute to Senator David Norris who started the Gay Rights Movement in Ireland. Then after a bit of music, we were treated to a first time LIVE Marriage Proposal. I got so emotional over it (well in the heart). first time a live Marriage Proposal between John(if I can recall his name) and Brad. May I wish them the very best of luck to them both.

Sound of Music - Medley
Cher - Believe - When this was being sung, I was thinking of Jack from Will & Grace and his love of Cher. It was a fantastic rendition.
Lady Gaga - Edge of Glory
Abba - Dancing Queen - All I can think of is my Pops, as he loves ABba.
WE Are Family - Medley
