Diary 22nd July 2015

Well what a day, it was. Twas of a positive nature. I went to bed earlier like I say, I wanted to try and get a "human" hours. ahhha. So I had set the alarm for 1,15, however I couldn't sleep right to the alarm, so I got up slightly earlier. And besides, my timing wouldn't have  been on time, as I needed Fair City, and of course the dole.

So I got up and showered. Looked at TV ie Monday's news. I was amazed by the amount of Clashes that had occurred on my box in that NOT ONE of my News Bulletins got recorded let alone Fail with no space.

So I headed onwards to get my dole, then the bank, another booboo was made in that Meteor had taken their cash already, so that adds an extra week with no food. So I'll get their eventually. heeheh. I then headed to Scribbles to get a USB Drive, as I had reported yesterday that my previously died on me. Then headed to Tescos to get initially to get Bread, I saw Vegan bread or what I thought Vegan, and Vegan Washing up liquid. I was so happy with the washing up liquid, but disappointed with the bread, so I then headed to Ryan's Hardware to get a Mirror for to take pics in, but it wasn't to be.

So after all the busy morning, I came back to do a bit more of the news. So I then headed to my first Vegetarian Meetup of 2015. We were to meet in Milanos on Baggot St(Review here) which happens to be the place I used to work in. It was under a different name at the time Ciao Café. The last time I was at a vegetarian meetup was back in November of 2014 in Wagamas. We chatted and dined. I enquirerd about Delhi O' Delhi, and was saddened to learn of its demise. In that it is to be used for the Irish 1916 Centenary Celebrations. We also chatted about the sentient, I happened across an article on Facebook, whereby in New Zealand a Bill has passed whereby Animals are to be treated as to be having "feelings" otherwise known as "sentient". One of the members of the group was praising Govinda's on Abbey St., So I thought to stick my oar, in and let em know of the homophobic treatment in Govindas(Review here.) They listened attentively, which I kinda was surprised. Considering I hadn't been there since LAST year, hahaah.

Oh and throughout the WHOLE day, I was experiencing some back pain. Even at the meetup in Milanos - the above, Everytime, I laughed, I got a sudden surge like the time I experienced that ended me in the Emergency Room. This was a few years ago, when I was experiencing alot of stress, and my sis and I were looking at Mrs. Browns. I got a mother of pain. This was exactly like that.

NEWS

Diary 11th July 2015

Today I was due to go to see TWO films: Song of the Sea(Review here) and Terminator: Genisys(Review here). However again, as I didn't sleep too well, I wasn't gonna bother. BUT my sis called down to me an hour earlier. Now while it wasn't ideal, I am actually glad she did. Not only she have pain issues, which was the reason she came earlier BUT also, my mental health was somehow distorted towards the negative side of things. While I was at the second film, I said to myself, "Man am I glad am back at Cineworld. cept the FINANCE". I really missed it. So again, like I said the last time, My sis came down to me when I was mentally under the weather. And I appreciate that. heehehe. Bottomline, if my sis hadn't popped down, chances are I wouldn't have gone out. I had told her last nite on FB that she was welcome to pop down. However she did tell me, that if she wasn't sure if she'd be able to pop down. Before I went to the first film, I popped into Pennys to see if I could get MATERIAL shorts ie trackeis kinda like. However time was not on my side, so I just headed to the cinema. I also bumped into Cineworld Craicheads namely Eoin and his crew. They were after seeing Ted 2. There meetup was today. I was due to see it. But I wanted Terminator BADLY. ahahaha.

So when I got back home, I showered again my thanks to my sis for such an inspiration. Again all a person who is going under mental health stress(each one is different, I speak of ME), is seeing that person in this case my sis.

So then afterwards, I went to get my lunchie which consists of caesar dressing for my sandwich. Despite it telling me to SHAKE before use, of which I did, It kept spewing as if it were Coke or something. Which I don't get n still don't get. So I came to the conclusion that I never refrigerated it. Not sure. hahaha

Diary 7th July 2015

Well today was quite different. hahaaha. Quote from Dane DeHann(BABE) from Amazing Spiderman 2: "I don't know how, I don't know why", but it just was. The day started off with me struggling to get outta bed in time for the dole. So I just skipped it. ahahah. So my sis came down to me. She was doing her donwlonaiding, which I don't personally mind. We were both crunching numbers as to how to resolve me finance issue. I'm up to me eyes in debt. So following is whats gonna be done for the two weeks.

Income
STATE €265*2 = €530
What I have             €30
TOTAL                  €560

Expenditure
AIB Debt(FORCEFULLY)                         €51
Rent(for TWO Weeks)(NEXT WEEK)    €260
INCREMENTS Debt(THIS)                     €105
Sky(NEXT)                                                 €46
Loan from Credit Union(NEXT)                €30
TOTAL                                                     €492

Income - Expenditure
€560 - €492 = €68

So as you can see, like my sis says:  I have 68 to "play around with" for two weeks. I was really worried as I wanted to see Jurassic Park and Terminator Genisys in iMAX. Now obviously I can see em both in 2D or 3D for FREE and have NO FOOD, but I like to "celebrate" an iMAX movie considering I'm paying to get in, so why NOT. hahaha

Now onto WEEK 2

Following is the plan of payment of Week 2.

Rent I'll be paying in Week 2 NOT this week, but NEXT Week.

Hoping the above will help me. heheheh.

I meant to actually put down that Mom called down to myself and my sis for a takeout. heheeh. We went to Nicos down the road for me, where I enjoyed a delicious Chips. The Kebab was alrite as the salady stuff was VERY hard and the Curry chips they were very sparingly on the Curry sauce. So not sure what the hell's going on. hahaha

Diary 4th July 2015 - 4th July Holiday(USA)

I was struggling to get up in time for Todd to see Minions at Cineworld(Review here). So eventually I met up with him. heheheh. On the way after the film, I noted that there was a protest of Abortion of Pro-Life or Choice. He mentions that he's never gonna have any issue with abortion. And I says Its none of the govt business etc.,etc., and he says exactly. heheheh

We then dispersed and I headed onto Mom and Dad's however, my sis messaged me saying that she forgot her drive for her films. So she wanted entertainment. As time was not on my side, I hurridly went to my sis and had a wee chat. ehehhe. I told her, yesterday, when I was going to the toilet, that on the way, I noted that there was a blanket that I bought down in Waterford in Pennys for €25. And was wondering why it was so "cotteny" look, but as it turned out it was actually Patch Jnr's paws. awwwww. What a laugh we both had. hahahaha.

So then onwards and upwards to Mom and Dad's. eheheh. I knew it was fairly late. I went to tell em about Mamma Mia(Review here), yesterday. So after a short visit, I then headed onto home. Before thou, I was saddened to hear of Silvia's crash she was involved in. My sis had told me as well that she sent the two Liz's an email, despite me knowing about Jane's birthday. I had sent Liz an FB message on Thurs, when I welcomed Mom and Dad back home. In the meantime Liz had gotten back to me, and I completely forgot to mention it to Dad. So when my sis told me that she had sent an email for dad to Liz, I said crap, I was meant to tell them about the FB message.

Diary 3rd July 2015

Well what a day it turned out to be. heheheeh. I was with my folks yesterday, whom Dad made me realsie the Mamma Mia concert is actually TONGIHT. hehehe. Before heading off on my way to see Mamma Mia, I bumped into my sis, who was invited for Dinner with the folks. hahaha. So I set on my merry way to meet Todd whom I bought the tickets for his birthday which was in April which is actually the last time, I saw him. ahhaah for the Easter Rising Commemoration in 1915. So we met up for Mamma Mia(Review here). SOS I put for my sis, Dancing Queen for my pops when I was gonna sing it for him in The George, however it never matierailised as they never called my name out. I remember learning Super Trouper in Keyboard School of Music in Clontarf and Mamma Mia on Keyboard in Glasnevin, where I was told its the most complex song to do on a music instrument. So then after the performance, we went to look for something to eat. hehehe. We went to Milano(Review here). On the way a guy commented on Todd's beard making him his "Idol", ahahaha. Great laugh. Todd was telling me he gets it all the time. heheheh. So then after Milano's we went out and low and behold, it poured out of the heavens. So we got a taxi back. I got out behind Centra in Fairview and he headed on home. Before I met Todd, I was asked to step aside, as there was a film set for which I later learned was Pierce Brosnan's film. Todd knows it begins with IT....

Just about as I was heading to bed, I was checking my FB notifications from the Pages. In this case Ireland AM. I had written a piece on a "debate", I had seen with the government of Ireland now having ON-Spot fines for cyclists like the way Drivers have. So if a cyclist is caught being wreckless or cycling through a red light, they will be fined, if of course there is a cop there. Anyways, I was checking, next thing FB logs me out, and DOES NOT LET ME BACK IN, unless I complete a checkin. SO first FB warned the link I was sharing onto my timeline which was Ireland AM may be malware. I ignored it, so FB says you cannot log in until you complete this "Checkpoint". I was to download Kaspersky Online Scanner from Facebook. I was immediaclty suspicious. I checked my Emails, to see was any of my mates affected or whatever. Nothing. I disregarded their "Kasperseky", It would not let me through. Kasperseky although is a highly well known and high regard Security company, still I was suspicious, considering I do have my own, McAFee. So anyways to make a long story short, I went ahead, as FB would not let me in full stop. hahaha.

Diary 2nd July 2015

Well I got up with a view of getting the errands that I was suppose to do the other day. I first got my dole. Then the bank. Earlier on in the day, when I checked the balance. I was in €128 in debt. Clearly my finances are not up to scratch. I had intended to Withdraw €70 from the savings and put into bank to do my increments. But now the €50 that my pops gave me, I've lost it, so yeah quite a shock. Whats even more, I compeltepyl forgot about WestWood, and to top that my Bank Maintenance fee is HIGHEST ever at €30. So for next week i'll need minimum €105 MINUS my rent etc., I then went to collect Floppy a new member of the +Puppys Stanescu 's family. Awwwww. While there, I was given another package which happens to belong to the guy who lives above me. I ain't his keeper, so I said to the clerk, that this package ain't mine. He assumed as its the same house.

Then I headed up to the folks.


"Bollicks" term used by Mom when she was describing my sis' phone. When I told her of my phone not the best.

Memory Block, got a fit of laughing when she told me that I had said on the phone: "where the hell are they"

REalsied that the Mamma Mia concert is actually TOMORROW, when Dad was looking at the tickets.

Before I went to sleep. I was trying to figure out how to get my "Social" life on my phone to work out. So I tried my sex phone, battery dead. And besides looking for the Wall plug 3 pin. Couldn't find it. So then I tried my Poddy. I was wanting my Checkin' apps ie Yelp, Google+, Facebook, and Swarm belonging to Foursquare. I went to download the Facebook app for to update it, it didn't work, then I uninstalled it. But that came as a big mistake as in, when I went to download again, it said I need to iOS 7 upwards. Now "let me tell you a little story". The reason, It would not update was it was wanting my OLD Email address and password. However since I changed my email address AND my password AND my name(I used to use George Coffey - due to my homophobes), AppleID locked me out compeltley. I contacted Apple via Email AND Telephone support. NOTHING. So I've lost all my €€€€€ worth Apps, Music. I was completely pissed off. So I moved FULL time to Android. I've never regretted since.

Diary 1st July 2015

Going to  bed last night, was upsetting for me, as I couldn't for the life of me understand why my cell ain't charging. All I remember was that it fell, a few yards if even that. From the window ledge to the bed. So its just baffling, why all of a sudden. Like I was telling my sis, today that it took 12hrs and half hours and it NOT at 100% only at 85%. So I just don't get it it. And it even now decharges rapidly. So something is defo not right. As I said as well, Georgian and Batterys don't fit in the same sentence.  My sis came down to me for to download thinking I would be up and about. I was due to do errands. I hadn't slept too bad. I was teary for a few hrs, with the above battery problem. So afterwards, I said I'll have to use my birthday money AGAIN on my battery. So I got up at half 5, obviously too late for Dole.

Diary 26th June 2015

Well after a long night of sleeping and then at times trying to sleep but more so struggling with my legs. I even slept ontop of Phenay, thinking he'd help me, sadly he didn't. eheheh. So then after a long time, I got up. Listened to voicemails. I did not appreciate the tone of Dad's voice and Mom's voice. I got the inclining or the vibe that I had done something wrong. So instead of ringing them of which I was gonna, I left my Mom a voicemail instead. She rang me back immediately. I declined and have done so to all calls.

So after that, I headed onto the Outhouse, was gonna pop into Penny's however they were closing up. So then, I headed onto the Outhouse. I saw Fire Brigade and Chemical Incident Unit, I said to my self, oh dear, hopefully it ain't the Outhouse. So I walked up slowly and saw that it was some laneway on the way to the Outhouse. heeheh. I was greeted by Bernard. Was great to see him. Went up to see the Men's night. hehehe. Not much around. But got a great welcome. heheehe.

I then headed to Cineworld to see Minions. (Review here). I then went to get my ticket at the machines, however it wouldn't work. So I saw that it had "expired", which was kinda weird. So I then saw that I had brought the WRONG, card. I said I'd give it a go, see would they let me in. However it wasn't to be. So I paid for a ticket. Then just before my cell went out of battery, I saw that my mate Todd, was saddened that I hadn't invited him. Says I to meself, Its not for the want of trying. I have asked him on numerous occasions in the past. Then shortly after the movie started, I could have sworn, I saw Todd himself in the front row. All that went through my mind, was that Todd would meetup afterwards and ask why I didn't invite him, etc., etc., but as luck would have it, it wasn't him. ahahah

Diary 24th June 2015

Well what a day it turned out to be. The most NEGATIVE or BAD LUCK I've ever had in ONE day. Quite extraordinary actually.

It all started when I failed to show up for my sis. So thats Bad Luck 1. Then when I eventually got up, I stayed up for a few hours. Was looking at yesterday's and Monday's news for the 4hrs PER day. Quite enjoyable alrite. hehehe. I looked also at the documentarys etc., One being the  Coming Out to the Curve that documents LGBT life in Ireland in 2015. One of the members of the Outhouse, Eddie was featured on the documentary. I was most impressed with his Rainbow colored Dinner set. heheeh and cups.

Then Mom arrived down to drop shopping. I then got ready to head out to the dole. I was initially suppose to head to my sis then the college. However I completely forgot about my dole, when I was making arrangements with my sis. heehhe. I was gonna leave the dole til next day ie Thurs. However Meteor and my Credit Union Loan esp him since Friday. As I said yesterday, I was afraid that I would be charged €10 by the bank and UNPAID. Thats the most horrific thing to occur to a customer. So I said I'd do my banking, hahaha. So I went to get the dole, then onto the bank. I wanted to set up my Meteor account on my Online Banking in the bank itself using the self service. However surprisingly, AIB wouldn't accept it. So am at a loss as to how to pay em. Bad Luck 2.

So onwards to the college. I was to attend an Information Session for the course, Post Graduate in Mobile Applications Development I'll be doing in Sept. I popped into Mace, beside the college, where I used to go in a lot, ahahah and to my surprise Fresh Good Food Market was their in its place. heeheh. I last was their when I was with my Mom, my sis and my Aunt back at the Markers. So I kinda indulged and overspent. I was met with great reception. heheheheh. So then onwards to Lidls, and Tescos to get OJ, Bread and Butter respectively Butter being from Tescos. So then after Tescos, I headed to my sis. heeheheh where I spent the rest of my day, into night, attempting to sort out my finances, my depression etc., I then realsied something that I was to purchase an Inflatable that I had clicked on Buy Now. And only remembered it tonight. heheeh. I had received a message on EBay reminding me that I had started a purchase on EBay for an Inflatable. And I had completely forgotten all about it. heehehe. So I first attempted to log into Paypal to add my Bank to the account. Well I went through hell trying to get my password. So I had to reset it. Then I attempted to pay as per normal, however I realsied that I had to transfer the funds over to Paypal from my bank account, then I realsied that I would have to wait a few days for security reasons. So then I said I'd attempt it considering I'd need it to go and pay for the Inflatable. So my sis offered to pay for it, of which she offered several times. So in the end, my sis paid for it, and I gave the cash I miraculously had to her. So as you can see not the best day in my life. haahah.

AS regards the depression aspect, I still have the fear that my mate Todd will tell me that he has to work for Saturday 4th July, which would devastate me. It would be another "Keith" saga all over again. Now obviously Todd and I are not a couple or anything. But I hardly see him, so its just a fear. And onto my mates of the two Brendan's of which I have not seen NOR heard since June 12th. Now I don't know whats going on. I ain't their daddys or whatever, but if they are mates of mine, I should have heard from them as in like say "Where's George", I haven't seen him, or whatever.

My sis and I were also discussing while attempting to look at movies. However connection all over the place were not working. Her WiFi and MY 4G Data Network wasn't. So while hanging around, waiting for episodes and films etc., I explained to my sis exactly what happened when I was blocked from uploading Photos. It happened as follows. I uploaded 164 Flowers, NADA. I uploaded 141 Gay Love theme photos. TROUBLE. I was in the middle of uploading, and I was asked to RELOGIN, of which I did. I was immediately given the below screenshot.





Then I came to the conclusion that, I was a victim of an individual in Facebook who has coded a computer program, whereby if the program encounters Same - Sex or LGBT themed photo to BLOCK the User.

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.

Today being Father's Day, as I hadn't given my card to my pops on Wednesday when we went out to Avoca(Review here), I had decided to give it to him on the day. Normally we would celebrate Father's Day or any biggie beforehand hahha on the Saturday ie yesterday or a day before the actual day because of the kids in restaurants etc., however, as I had plans made(On me own, hahaha) I couldn't go out with my family for Saturday. So we pushed to last Wednesday.

So with the above in mind, it was my intention to go to Pro Cathedral to sign the book of condolence and light a candle for the victims of the Berkeley, and then to pop up to Gerry to give his God-Father's Day card, and then to my folks to give my dad's card. However it wasn't to be, as with my legs. So then I got a voicemail from my Mom saying she's be PICKING me up, so I said, ara, I'll just go to the folks and leave it at that.

So Mom picked me up, we headed for a takeout. WE went to DiLucias and I got Udon ie THICK Noodles. haahah. The Noodles were scrumptious. The gravy chips thou were less appealing. Could have done with more gravy. hahaah

My sis then came down, with the shit problem outside my gaf, at the shore. So I says, I'll leave it. My landlord has accused me of using "wipes", First I ain't a woman, I'm gay, and therefore no children exist in my life, well except +Puppys Stanescu  and +Inflatables Stanescu but in human terms, not hey don't exist. hahaha. So it don't make sense why he is accusing me. haahah. So I'm gonna get someone else int he apartment to ring him about the shit problem. Then see what happens. So then I dropped my sis down to her place. We got into deep conversation of which I wasn't expecting. ahahah. I relented about my "depression" and my pining of my mates. I had told the girl from Chicago(Windy City), USA whom I met at last night's Gear Event, that my "former" friend when relating to money issues. I expressed my DELIGHT of seeing my sis on Saturday night ie last night. If she hadn't appeared, I would never have gone out chances as I wasn't sure if they'd accept me or not. So I said, what the hell to do, haahah. So when she appeared, my mind had been made up. I don't think anyone realises the good a person does for another person who is under the weather mentally. I was going downhill again until my sis appeared last night.

The exact same thing happened to me at Christmas, particularly New Years Eve 2014. It was a minute after midnight ie 2015 when my parents next door neighbor texted me "Happy New Year". Well the gleam that came outta me. I had literally was about to self harm, cause a guy couldn't keep his mouth shut. Follow this link for details.

Diary 15th June 2015

While my sis was sleeping, I was working throughout the night on tidying my place up which I have been doing for the past few Mondays. hahahah. My main objective for today was to tidy up my inflatables and find the shorts for Saturday's Fetish Night for Pride 2015, ehehhee. Some +Inflatables Stanescu have been going ie deflating. So I decided no matter how painful it was to actually let them deflate fully and then put them away. I was a bit emotional in doing so, in particular Redzar(Red Smirnoff Football). Etc etc., I shan't be getting rid of any of them. ahahaha. If at all possible I shall replace em, depending on Finance of course. hahaha.

As regards the clothes, I separated em all. So I cleared up the dishes. And when I was putting out the rubbish, I then realised that last weeks rubbish was NOT collected which I can't understand. hahaha. But not my problem.

So now my final job is to clear the crap or whatever word u wanna use from my Deep Fat Fryer. I can't use Alcohol or Abrasives. So am a bit stuck. So I'm using Dad's brains(ONCE AGAIN - ahahah), he would use abrasives but VERY finely ie barely touching the machine sides)

Diary 22nd October 2014

Well as I lie awake just when the alarm went off, I was thinking due to tiredness to cancel the plans. But me being a nice dude and all, attempted to contact Brendan S as I was to meet him for 8pm in the Outhouse. I was going to ring him to see where he was. If he was on the way, I would go out of my way and meet him, however if he was say at home or whatever, I'd say i'm not up to meeting. However as I couldn't get through, So I tried FB Call - nothing, texting no answer, Likewise O' Farrell, to see if he was at the Outhouse if he could pass on the word. But again nothing. Now I eventually got through to O' Farrell, but he was attending a US Embassy Election function. I attempted to ring Ronan to see if he was at the Outhouse that he could pass on the message. However he wasn't. So in the end, I had to head on off.

Now add this extra to the potion. What I mean, I got a call of Mom yesterday while I was with my sis to say that I left my Passport behind which included my CARD and my cash when I was with them. The card being for the cinema. So I had to struggle up to my folks to get the passport.

I then headed on to the Outhouse. When I arrived, Severn told me that Searson had left cash for me of which he owed in the past. He had told me jokingly something about me raising Searson as a son. Which I didn't get. hehehe. So I went into the cafe. It was close. Possibly NO volunteers available. So then Searson hugged me, of which I didn't understand. He was like a ghost. So then I sat for a few minutes, as I was heading to the cineworld to see Dracula(REVIEW HERE). I was chatting with Bernard, Scott and of course Brendan. They were discussing that films are only after money. I said "You need money to live". They were bemnused ie unimpressed with this.

So I then headed onto the cinema. While the movie was on, I was thinking to meself a few things such as self harm everytime someone hurts me. etc., etc.,

Then I headed on home with a cautious and worry face. As in, when I was walking from my folks to the Outhouse my cell phone wouldn't turn off the screen. Everytime, I was pressing the Power button NOT holding, it would turn back on immediately. The killerest of the battery. I was getting anxious. However as God was on my side, It was down at 1% and made it. heheeh

Well, I never,  the embarrassment that I came out with. heheeh.

I compare Water Charge to Abortion in terms of the controversy. In the Dáil etc., So Mom asked me if I was for Water Charge or against. I said I was against, as I literally don't have the cash. Then I went on to say the way the Govt brought it in was horrible arsed. We all had a great laugh. We were discussing Dad's lappy, in that its been misbehavin' of late. So after the meal, we headed back home to Mom and Dad's gaf. Dad wanted to send an email to Jim(The guy I failed to show up recently for. As in my Dad's relatives). My sis and I had told our folks, that its Jane's Birthday today, ie Jim's wife. My sis had said that she has aged. So Mom wanted to see her on Facebook. I logged in.

Diary 15th October 2014

Today, was a quiet day. I was suppose to head onto a meetup, in particular the Vegetarian Meetup in Milanos. Like the other day, I was suppose to go to Umi Falaefel, but didn't bother. I of course cancelled the last minute well in this case.

So I just stayed on in bed. In the middle of the hibernation, I got up for a leak and making room on my box.

Then I got back to sleep and had the following dream.

Am with a group of people. We head into a restaurant. I keep looking at a waiter. He's so brazen. I go to pay .15c and I hand over €1. He gives me no change. I then am writing a review. Clearly it'd be a terrible review I'd be writing.

The Budget 2015 "hangover" has occurred. As traditionally, both Ministers for Finance and Public Expenditure(Noonan and Howlin respectively) took to the airwaves on RTE's Seán Ó Rourke to listen to the public on Radio. There has also been confusion in yesterday's Budget announcement whereby Social Welfare recipients and Tax Payers receive €100 off their Water Bill per year and Tax Credits respectively. It was my understanding yesterday, that EVERY single Social Welfare recipient despite there allowance, will receive it. However it has come to my attention that this is NOT the case. Those on the Disability Allowance, Fuel Allowance and obviously if you have the Household Benefits Package will receive. Jobsekker Allowance, and Jobseekers Benefits will NOT be eligible to receive the Water Allowance. This has also come tot he Tax Credits. In order to receive Tax Credit on your Water Bill, you MUST pay the bill, then apply to your local Tax Office and then get the amount off your NEXT bill. The Government will reassure and if needs be change a few things when the Finance Bill comes into force.

Diary 10th October 2014

Well as I had yet to get my dole AND to get to sleep for a few hrs, I had a hella to do today. I first finished up my Social Networking skills - hahaha. I got my dole. Then headed to AIB to lodge the dosh into the bank. I then headed onto Tesco to get my milk, of which they didn't have Almond Milk from Alpro. So I got Almond TESCO Brand. I then headed onto Ryan's hardware, as I wanted to get a weighing scales. They did have em, but I would have preferred if they could connect to my device. So I didn't get any. Shortly before I went out, I got a call from my credit union, saying that my loan has been finished and to what to do. So I just for the time being, reverted back to the 10 a week to my Savings account.

So I then headed off to sleep for a few hours. I had initially setup a meetup with my mate Todd. I hadn't seen him since the August Bank Holiday Weekend. So it was my intention to see Maze Runner, then the Outhouse and then to meet my mate. However it wasn't to be. So I got up slightly later than schedule BUT I eventually got up. So I set about heading off to meet my mate Todd. I first told him, that I was wanting to head to the Outhouse to find out what up with what Ronan said on my FB. I was deeply upset about that people had been talking about me behind my back and not in the good way. So poor aould Ronan is another My sis. With this I mean, if anything happens to me, my folks would be asking my sis questions etc., So I apolises in advanced to Ronan. I asked him who it had been. In the interest of privacy, which by right these bitches n bastards don't deserve, but I'm a nice guy. But buy golly, they will both get a very nice message on FB in the morning. Something to wake up to in the morning. So afterwards, Todd met me in the Outhouse instead of the Gresham Hotel where we were suppose to meet. We both then headed on off to Cuicneas(Review here), WE wined and dined as one would say. eheheh. Then we headed on off to Cineworld to see Dracula Untold(Review here). After we got the tickets, we eyed a few hotties. mmm. We WE were chatting while at the same time eyeing the hotties. I had said to him about a fact. He said that he learned something knew. I said, "You learn something new everyday". His response, if you don't, then you will have wasted your day. Then onto the actual film. After the film, we both headed onto his new place. I must say its a lovely little place. While there, I noted a cross on the wall. He then told me that Jesus original language was Aromathea. I had heard of Joseph of Aromathea. Bottomline, I learned something new today, ie Didn't waste my day.  hehehe. On the way to his gaf, We encountered the Gresham Hotel. Whereby I shared a story that I was meeting a guy during my homophobia days for a cuppa tea. So I headed on home.
