Diary 18th November 2015

Well what a day it has so far turned out to be.

I was due to get up for 10.15am. As reported yesterday, I was to come back today otherwise my Payment would be suspended or stopped. So fearing this, I got ready. However as the same mistake made, in that I set the alarm for 10.15 PM instead of AM. The fact that I woke up around 9.15 it was kinda  a blessing in disguise as I was checking my phone to see is it time to get up etc., So at 10.35, I got up quickly wondering why the alarm never went off. So am glad to report that I was on time(almost) hahahah. However while cycling, I kept getting calls from Mom, and I was telling her that am cycling, I cannot accept calls. There was a white car beside me with the word "Revenue" on it. Well who knew they had their own cars . hahaah. Like I actually thought these were cops or something. So eventually I met Mom at the Social Welfare. While waiting around, Mom asks me what about the Job place, could he have meant there. I was getting increasingly anxious and nervous, as if I wasn't enough. So I got a ticket for Desk 29(I call it the Information Desk), when my number was called, I was required to wait around for a further minutes for my name to be called. He didn't call me to be in private, instead he called me publicly and said to come back 3pm, 15h00. Well I was getting very pissed off, but none so than Mom. Like wow. ahhah. She really put them ALL in their place. So we eventually got talking to a gentleman who knew his manners. The reason Mom came in the first place was she was worried about back, while doing the job at hand. So I've to get a Medical Certificate from the Doctor after he said: "Yep we know what to do with you". So afterwards, Mom treated me to a lovely Lasagne and Soup in Cucina. I booked an appointment for the doctor to get the Certificate.

So then afterwards, We dispersed, I went to Outhouse to relaxes after a harrowing experience and then afterwards, I wanted to get to the French Embassy for to lend my support by signing the book of condolences, however when I arrived, there were a couple of people there, I then headed back home.

Then after about an hour, I then headed to my Doctors appt, Met Mom. I was at teh appoitnment lietereally for a few minutes. Scoialiois or now known as Dorsal Spinal Scoliosias is NOT a Disablety Allowance contestant. What I mean having Scoailios does not entitled you to Disaislblty Allowance. Only time will tell. So if anything arises, that the Chief Medical will be in contact with my Dr. So for now, I will be requried to make a Dr's Appt everyweek, which as I said to Mom is bull. To get a new MR1 Cert.

Spectre

Spectre

Spectre is the latest 007 Bond offering. Not bad a movie. A bit disappointing thou. Plot reasons is the reason for my disappointment. I personally enjoyed Skyfall better. Even the music at the beginning by Adel added to it. Although Sam Smith did justice to it, the music in this film, I still feel it wasn't enough.

The plot again was confusing. However it did come together eventually. heeheheh. Bond(Craig) is in Mexico City, trackie a guy down. Trouble ensues. M(Fiennes) is furious and tells Bond that "he is grounded". However Bond feels this is needed, so he hires the help of Moneypenny(Harris) and my baby Q(Winshaw). Q "pricks" him with a Microchip, so that M and everyone knows where Bond is gone to.

Diary 10th July 2015

Well what a day it turned out to be. Just before I headed to bed, I realsied that the plan me sis and I had done out the other day relating to finance, which I have outlined already would not actually work. As I failed to collect the dole on Thurs BEFORE the Sky and Credit Union payments that is required today Friday. The plan me sis had in mind was that €260 goes straight to bank, €105 for INCREMENTS. Now when we were doing the calculations we decided that Sky and Credit Union for NEXT WEEK, not today. However as I didn't collect the dole and hence the bank, I got extremely anxious. And also to top that if the word "Unpaid" were to appear on my statement, I would forget about going to cineworld to see the latest Terminator series: Terminator: Genisys. and just head to bed. So I got up with going cautiously to the Post Office of collecting the dosh. Then onto the bank. Now in the mean time, my mate rang me to know what my plans are. He knew I was going to see the movie. However with my mind completely elsewhere, I decided against it. So when I arrived at the bank, did my usual business and only noticed that today was the 10th NOT the 12th, in which I thought today was Sky's date. AS I said above that if I see the word "Unpaid" that I would not go to the cinema. However as I didn't see it, I would go ahead. HOWEVER, as I didn't sleep at all last night with the amount of twisting and turning over what to do and THOUGHTS of me being worthless etc., I decided not to go out in the end, so I slept until midnight 11th July  ie tomoz. One thought thou, I did have was whereby I cycle to the Post Office, and park it at the Day Hospital of St. Vincent's Hospital known as Iona, and I stop the traffic on the lane nearest the path just OVER the bridge.. I then tell the traffic to go over, like literately over. The wheels wouldn't be touching me unless they are changing lanes, yeah that'd be a problem alrite. Another one being whereby I go to the outhouse and literally break down. It has happened in the past whereby, I go to the Outhouse, and simply sit at a table literally. And there would be a group of people chatting asking me how I am etc., I would be distant with them big time.

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.

Big Game

This film was on my to see list. Now what I had expected. Kinda weird if you get me. Even on my breakfast show I watch Ireland AM, during the Movie reviews segment, the reviewer gave it a generous 2 out of 5.Plot was simple, I'll give it that. The President of the US(Jackson) is on the hunt by terrorist. Simple. For those who haven't see it, which I can't see that many seeing it, I won't tell anything. There was a hunting aspect to it. The film is set in Finland where apparently Hunting is done quite alot. I was sickened by that. Any of my Vegan friends especially, and also Vegetarian's NOT recommended.
