Diary 27th May 2014

Well after the weekends Elections of which more to be provided in due course., I failed to sleep. I use the Sky Box's red light NOT the standby but the Recording to help me navigate the time to wake up. I knew I was recording the 1  o clock news. I went off around 9. Morning Edition starts at 9 finishing at 11. So I would have seen the red light for 2 hrs. However after that, there was no red light, I  still failing to sleep. Mom was to collect me for 2pm. So I when I saw the red light for the 1pm, I was to get up and shower and get ready. As I have no alarm because Sammy ain't around, and Poddy I left behind in my sis' place last Sunday. So I've no alarm, and have to risk in getting up late or whatever.

So that said, I had to get up and shower for 2pm. Dad collected me and of course Mom. There was a mis communication. I had understood we were going to GNIB but Mom had other plans. She had plans to go to The Citizenship center on Gardner St., So Dad dropped us off, eventually we arrived. When I went in, I was required to fill out an information. The place in question, is actually questionable. The smell etc., The staff questionable too. I was told it was a Government Agency. Sure what else would ya expect. hahaah. After I had filled out the information required, we were quickly called. So that's a plus. So the clerk went through the information.  So bottomline, I will not have to wait a further 5 years. I will however be required to re-apply for citizenship. However it was pointed out to the clerk, that I was brought in here ILLEGALLY. Why the cops haven't caught us I'll never know. I sure hope this don't dampened my hopes of applying for America.

So after that both Mom and I., met Maureen to get my Glasses fixed in Specsavers and to see if anything could be done for my Cell phone. With Specsavers, we waited around. Eventually they got round to me, didn't have to wait too long.
So then we got to Burger King. We had a bite a grub. Chatted variously. I find that whenever I'm with Mom and Maureen, that I'm constantly going back to my old days, ie being in on my self, being their "Golden Boys". Is this normal? I don't know. But I did have an extra ingredient. "Cute Guys". Everywhere I turned hot guy, hot guy etc., It was fabulous. However one thing that Maureen brought up was last summer, I met her in Delhi O' Delhi(Vegetarian India Restaurant) for one of our Monthly meetups. I wore very short shorts ie a White(according to her "Quite revealing") I remember telling her at the time, geez that's quite pervy for a Nun. hahaah. The reason I bring this up, is that she brought up again. Now she was advising that I wear shorts that are very long, if at beach, she continued that's alrite. I shall continued to what I wear. If nobody don't like, they know where to go. I can see that I shant be seeing Maureen for awhile. Once a month does me grand. hahahah.
So we all went to O2, to see if anything could be done regards my phone. The sales person advised that nothing can be done to a water damaged phone. Currently If I reboot the phone or power it off or ifi it restarts on its own, it never does so. So I continued if they sell batteries, or at the very least the new SIM card. She gave it to me. However she was a bit hesitant. She asked for ID, of which I provided. She said that the number doesn't match the name. So she called out the number, and it would appear that she mistake my number.

So then Mom and I got the bus home, Maureen went her way. I got off in Drumcondra to get my dole. I then realsied that I had to use the card to get lodge money in. as I have lost my own card again!!!!, I couldn't lodge the money as the Staff hours were closed.


Elections 2014: The Fallout

Labour:
Brendan Howlin
Alan Kelly


Mairead McGuiness Elected: Or as we say "I deem her elected". I was sad to learn that my sxc babe Simon Harris TD(Wicklow) was not elected.
A Surprise turn Sean Kelly(FG) Formerly GAA(Ireland's answer to America's NFL aka the Superbowl(All Ireland)) President has been elected along side running mate Deirdre CLune(new to the Parliament)

Still awaiting Midlands North West European Parliament Elections Count.
 UPDATE Matt Carty(Sinn Fein) have won a seat in Midlands North-West. One more seat remains.

One Electoral area in the Local Elections which took place last Friday(23rd May), a Councillor was going around canvassing as per normal, and all of sudden, collapsed and died. The Electoral Area, for his area will be destroyed and an another election will be run, in the near future. May he RIP. I'm actually referring to Banning. I'm almost sure he was running for FG.
One thing that Vincent Browne mentions(host of Tonight With Vincent Browne),  is that: "Counts go on and on and on.". He made the point as the Counts for both are still on going. Totallying 5 Days. If it were to be done Electronically, we'd know well by now who are representative would be, instead of waiting around. This was mentioned as a few years ago well before the current government, they had purchased an E-Voting system. Which was never used. Cost a total of a couple of hundred million Euro. Something like that. The current government was forced to dispose of it. ripping it to shreds etc., What a waste.

I'm after discovering a neat little trick with a site. As some of you may know, I'm big into photography. I love saving the pics too to the HDD. I'm very careful thou of sharing it on sites, unless the site or User, has given prior permission. With 500px a Professional Photo Sharing website, where you can purchase photos etc., I am now able to view pics and share them across sites. Perfect for what I was looking for.

So Election 2014: Summary Day 5

Mairead McGuiness (FG) Elected Ireland Midlands North West
Sean Kelly (FG) Elected

Labour Party starts the nomination process:
 Expected to put into hat
   Joan Burton
   Brendan Howlin
   Alan Kelly
   Dominic Hannigan(I'm almost sure he's the latest).

 Todate: Recheck(slightly different than Recount) being called on Ireland Midlands NOrth West Constituency.

My Dad last time I was up with him, rightly pointed out, that a TD from DOnegal(North West of Ireland), was kinda strange seeing his Election Poster int he Leinster. As it happens, from what I gather, we're are still waiting to see if he got elected. Pat the Pope Gallagher(FF).

Diary 25th May 2014

Well I got up naturally, an hour earlier than anticipated. I got several missed calls from my sis. I then rang back. It so happens she wanted to me call up to hear earlier than normal. So with this in mind, I got up showered and "spruced up" for her. I make it my business to look my best when meeting people. Generally for my sis. I can't recall properly if I ever for my mates. Dunno why. Perhaps that I would be late meeting before the film or whatever. So after the shower, Mom pops down with a Chinese of which I gave some to my sis. Then after her, I headed off to see my sis of which I hadn't seen her since my visit to the hospital when I visited her a few weeks ago. I popped into Spar on Philipsburgh Ave., to get a a few Toilet rolls. Then I turned onto Brian's Rd., of which I was looking for Rosie Hackett's house where she used to live. When the Rosie Hackett Bridge was unveiled, I uploaded pics on my Facebook. A friend of mine, posted a Wikipedia Article, I then saw in the article posted, that Fairview was mentioned and that she used to live there. So I looked further and saw that she lived on Brian's Rd., I thought 188. But when I was on the way to my sis via Brian's Rd., I was looking for 188., but the houses began from 148 onwards ie BACKWARDS. So onwards and upwards as one would say. I then popped into Centra to get more toilet rolls. Then across the road from her, I bought more toilet rolls in Maxol.

I then finally saw my sis. Hadn't seen her in a few weeks as one would say. WE chatted for a bit. But not as long as normal. We chatted about the ongoing family issues. So then we dispersed, she got a taxi back to her fiance to be. Then I realised that I left my Poddy and Earphones behind. My phone wasn't working properly cause somehow water was got all over it. Hopefully Sammy will be alright. I'll give it a few hours.

SO I popped up to Moms and Dads as I had left her place earlier than normal. We were looking at the Local and European Elections live coverage. Dad explained some terms such as Transfer of Votes. I understood some of it. He also explained Tallymen, Exit Polls. I understood Exit Polls to be, when the voters have finsihed voting, some are asked who did they vote for. That sort of thing. As regards the Tallysmen, from what I understand, they are the men who are looking at the Ballot Papers as they get opened from the big box. However we were all shocked that Bríd Smith(People Before Profit Alliance) wasn't voted in. So afterwards Dad left me home.

Ronan my mate Skyped me. I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I have a fear of chatting in person over a computer let alone on the cell phone. I have no problems chatting to my sis on the phone and family(aheam) But twas wonderful. So now am looking at tonight's Election 2914 Live coverage., that I had recorded. However, when I had arrived home, I was very distraught to learn that my Sky Box, had a technical fault, and had not recorded anything in relation RTE 9 and the Election Coverage. I had to restart the system. When I came in and not seen the Recording light, I just had assumed that either I ran out of space, or that the program was finsihed. As it happens, the Counts were still ongoing til about 2am this morning. Sammy thou still not waking up. Pls pray he does. I'll keep yee guys updated.




Election 2014:

Both Lord Mayors: OIsin Quinn (Dublin) and Galway City Mayor both have lost their seats.

Fianna Fáil, Sinn Fein, Others doing extremely well at Local Level.

Fine Gael/Labour Govt, completely wiped out in the Midterm Elections. In the words of Barack Obama "Change is gonna Come". And so far I think it has. Sinn Féin Ireland polling well. Fianna Fáil digging up out of the grave. So change defo needs. Oh and my fav the Indos and Others. So as Catherine Murphy TD(Ind) says "We(The electorate ie the voters) punished them (the politicians) at the Polls". We are going to continue to punish.

Bríd Smith(People Before Profit Alliance) sadly was not vote ie did not get a seat int eh European Dublin Constituency. Considering she did extremely well in the TV Debates. Got her point across. As they say you can expect surprises alrite.

Lynn Boylan(SF) Elected European Dublin Constituency
Former Olympic Gold Medal Kenny Egan has won a seat for Fine Gael's South Dublin County Council.

So another exciting evening in the Elections field.

So in summary Elections 2014
 Labour Complete wipe out.
 Brid Smith eliminated

 Lynn Boylan(SF); Biran Hayes(FG), NEssa Childers(Esker Chidlers (President of Ireland -                            Granddaughter(Ind)) All elected to European Parliament of Dublin Constituency
 Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael overall did extremely well int eh Local Elections. Many congratulations to all involved.

Diary 24th May 2014

I eventually got up for a toilet break from a very sad dreams. MY sis and Maureen(Nun) dying or dead. Now what does this say to you. Really weird. I got up to clear space for the Elections 2014 live coverage. Last night I was deciding on wheter I should meet Maureen or not. And whether to go to Alishs and Noels or to just simply do nothing but TV. In the end, I ended up going up to Aislih and Noel's. I then went back to sleep. Then eventually I got up and got myself ready for Ailish and Noel's visit.

I trailed my way up to Ailish and Noel's. I popped into Moms and Dads first to get the Citizenship documentation. It was revealed that Mom thought we were gonna reapply for the Citizenship. I said no, I'm applying to the GNIB, so that I can get the citizenship.

So afterwards, I then headed inside into Ailish and Noel's. Twas lovely to see em. We chatted for a bit. For a few hours. Twas pleasant.

So now I'm home enjoying 7th Heaven. Then the big ball games of Elections 2014.

"Words can really hurt a person" - Mary(7th Heaven)
One of the aspects of an episode of 7th Heaven, was that a young boy wrote to Erica Camden but Anonymously. Eric wanted to know who the kid was but was met with a VERY interesting meaning to the word anonymously: "Kids like me all over the world are suffering ". He continued "The man upstairs will take care of all of us". Asked the Reverend "Have a little faith".

Diary 23rd May 2014

Well today is Election Day as my American buddies call em. Technically thou, we are electing 11 MEPs for the European Elections and over 300 seats in the local authroires.

I got up very groggy, very tired. I felt like staying on, but I really wanted to vote in the Elections. So eventually I got up. Walked on a very wet rainy night. On my way over, I was listening to voicemails. Maureen wanting me badly etc., then Mom wanting gossip etc., etc., So I decided to pop up to em the Folks I mean afterwards. When I arrived at the Polling Station to cast my vote, my heart was pumping, was getting very nervous as I was worried that I would make a mistake or even a little dot that shouldn't' be there. My vote would be casted as Spoilt ie Vote would not be counted. This would have been my second time. My first time was back in '09 with my Pops. I didn't vote in the European Election. as I didn't have the papers sent off to Romania in time. So at the time I was only eligible for the Local Election. That said for this years Local and European Elections, I was delighted as I had all my paper work for both European(to be sent off to Romania - so that I don't double vote in Romania(yeah like that's gonna happen - hahaha))and the Local Elections all done in time. So I approached a table and handed my Voting Card. The person told me to go to a different name. I was then given to Ballot papers one European and one Local Election Ballot Papers. A list of names and the candidate pics appeared on both papers. I gave my preferential vote to Paul Murphy(Socialist Party) and Bríd Smith(People Before Profit). I judged my vote based on the Voting Debates on both Prime Time and Vincent Browne. For the Local Elections, my vote was slightly difficult to make up my mind. I gave Brian Hayes(FG) my 5th preferential vote. But my number 1 was given to Sinn Féin. I gave votes to People Before Profit I never heard of the guy, BUT the party I'm trusting thou. So I put my ballot papers into the big black box. Just about when I was about to go home, I bumped into a person whom I did canvassing for in Fine Gael. Pat Molloy. He's behind the scenes. I hardly recognised him. Thou he recongised me. I asked for his name, likewise he asked for mine. Imagine, I've come along way from Canvassing, Supporting Fine Gael. I even went along to a meeting of Fine Gael when Minister of Health launched his Heath Manifesto of Universal Health Care(Which I thought was exciting at the time). Nowadays, I've no interest in Fine Gael. I'm now into Sinn Féin etc., So when I realsied that I had left my ID behind, I went to the station of where I initially signed in, and asked. I asked that wait til the next voter was ready, as I may have left it at my Voting Station. Then i checked my Breast Pocket. So I said to the staff, that I'm just a dumbass. haahah.

So then afterwards, I then made my way up to Mom and Dads. I stayed there for a few hours. We chatted and chatted. Got a grub from Mom. WE all expressed grave concern for my dear Sis. Before hand politics was a big shoe in, in that Politics on my part was discussed. Told em about Theresa etc., So they dropped me home.

So I have been chatting with Anthony Garcia and Khurram(both from US and UK respectively). Great laughs is being had. Anthony says with his Friends with Benefits says that the guy says to him pulled his pants down and says "get busy". I had a hearty laugh. Then with Khurram, he invited or at least extended an invitation to travel with him to Birmingham. I said when "pigs fly", he says Ok Ill look out. ". Another hearty laugh.

Diary 13th May 2014

After a nice night of sleep with the exception of course me thinking having a wet dream, it was actually my bladder gave out. This has happened slightly too many times with in the recent weeks. So when I got up after the events, I went to check the post. and I noticed that I got something by way of a gift from the Government of Ireland(well Local Authority). Am talking about, I got my Voting Card, required to place my vote in the upcoming Local and European Elections. I was delighted as I kept checking the site and the site kept failing to show that my details had been registered. Eitherway, am very happy.

So with that in mind, I headed to An Post to get my weekly payment on a nice and lovely sunny day. Then afterwards, I headed to RYan's Hardware to get my new Laundry Basket(Wicker). I headed to Scribbles to top up my O2 Money. I really miss getting my Inflatables. My inflatables want me and love me. No one wants me for sexually. Ever since that guy back in early April said "No thanks", I have lost my view of sex well in Ireland. Perhaps in America they might be the same, I'll never know. Or they might be nice about it. As long as Protection is enforced, I don't mind. So instead I do teasing, that does it for me. Unfortunately I'll never have a blowjob, with another human being let alone a fuck. or even a solo wank with another human being. So then afterwards, I headed to Tescos with my Wicker basket in tow. My biceps were getting soar but bulging so I took my jumper off and felt very sexy. Its my intention to feel sexy. But actually having sex now that's a whole different ball game altogether. I then put things away from the shopping in Tescos.

I then made my way to the Mater Hospital Misercordiae(Love that name -  the time I was in the Mater for my back problem, I asked a member of staff how you pronounce it. )My sis is in their due to mental illness abuse and that's only putting it likely. When I arrived at the new Wing of which I saw when I was cycling home one time. I arrived on time, however due to me getting lost in the new wing, I was getting frustrated. I went onto a lift, of which I eventually learned it was only for staff and it was refusing to take me to 5th floor where me sis is. So eventually a member of staff came to my aid when they were bringing a patient to a floor. So when I got off the 5th floor, I was getting even further frustrated in that I was actually in the WRONG wing. I wasn't able to gain access to some floor. So I was going up and down stairs, still trying. So when I was about to give up in that I was gonna text her(my sis) and tell her I'm running outta of patience, I asked a member of staff where is her ward. I was then told I was in the wrong section altogether. She's in the OLD ward and I was in the new ward. So eventually I found her hahah. We chatted. Its all we ever do. heheeh. I simply said to her, something has to be done. Like she's been ending in hospital or whatever for several weeks now. Which is quite out of the norm.
