Midnight in a perfect world.

Here it is, another post where I am just about to head off on some crazy trip, totally stressed out, with about a million things running through my head.

I am going to Mayo for 2 weeks in about 6 hours time. I still have to pack my bag and get a good night's sleep; NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

I was in Italy last week, it was VERY hot. Swam in the lake, ate some Bolognese, played some cards, read a book, you know the drill. Went to Venice, it's pretty crazy. It's that city on water that falls apart in Casino Royale (Yes, it is the best Bond movie). Pretty crazy, no cars; so if you want a bus, it's a boat, if you want a taxi, it's a boat. If you want to cross the river, you give a guy 50p and he will take you over in his gondola, pretty incredible.


I got back 4 days ago and since then have been sitting at my computer sending emails, trying to get things organised before I go away again. I also watched some Lost to keep me sane, it's the final few episodes and getting good. Was out at frisbee training tonight, was good to get the legs pumping again. Need to get the fitness back up for the All Ireland Champs.

Right that's it. My stuff has finished printing so now it is time for another job to do. May your lives be stress free. Peace!

I love this

Tumbleweed....

Wow, it really has been too long.

I finish my job in a week. It would be fair to say that I am pretty excited. Although the year has been great, it will be nice to not have to get up and go to the office every day.

I moved seats a month or two ago and have been trying to cut down on my internet time wasting. When you're sitting at a computer from 9-5, the last thing you want to do when you get home is turn on your computer. Add to that the fact that I have been gone every weekend for the last month and you have a very tired Ben and not too many blog posts.

I am off work today and really needed it; I've become kinda run-down and just not tip-top condition. I was able to just chill all day, watch Lost, clean my room and check this blog still exists. I'm not dead just yet folks.

Stay cool.

Wagon Wheel

This is pretty much the greatest song I have ever heard in my entire life.

Under The Radar

Hi folks. Apologies for the radio silence over the past couple of weeks. The usual story, busy doing lots of stuff in real life, not just on the Internet.

The first one back after a while is always hard. They seem to flow pretty easy after that, but right now it's late and I have nothing much to say.

Donegal

Some things I learnt last weekend; You don't have to go very far to find somewhere magic. Also summer is the best thing ever.

Escape from the bright lights of the office

Today has been a bit of a killer. My head has felt like a lead balloon and the phones haven't stopped ringing all day. I set off at lunchtime with a fiver in my pocket in search of some much needed replenishment for my body and mind.

I took a dander up the street, called in with my friend in the newspaper shop and then my feet just kept walking until I ended up outside Subway.

I went in and ordered myself a sandwich. There was a really nice vibe about the place. The radio was tuned to Magic FM and some Phil Collins was blasting out, which is exactly what you want to hear eating your lunch. The two guys working were a bit of a laugh, I got some banter with my order, a rare thing these days.

Anyway after my sub, I decided to get a box of the awesome looking new nachos for the journey back. My goodness people, they are INCREDIBLE!! Hot tomato and cheese with juicy jalapeños make Ben a very happy chappy. I went back to the office a new man; Yeah pretty much the best lunchtime ever.

Day Off

Today I am off work. It is incredible.

I got up this morning about ten and headed over to play football with some friends I haven't seen in a while. The weather was fantastic and it was a great laugh. It's nice just to be out in the air, running around instead of stuck in an office all day, really clears you head.

I came back and my Dad cooked up a big fry, which was incredible. I then lay on the sofa and watched some TV. Had a shower and then turned on my computer and ordered some new crocs. I listened to some of my Dad's old records and then wrote this post.

Not sure what to do next. Might watch a movie or eat some food. I really should go out and fix the seat in my car, but might just chill.

This rules.
