Loser

Fallen angels and lost hope
Theses are things that haunt me
Happiness and companionship
These are things that elude me

My heart cries out for help
My mouth stays completely quiet
My head cannot decide my action
My feet decide to take flight

Spider-Man goes on Holidays to Plan a Party... or something like that!

Hey hey kids!

I trust everyone had a good weekend. Sorry I didn't post much on Thursday and Friday, I wasn't feeling well and couldn't put much effort into it. Sorry if I disappointed anyone (yeah, right!!). Anyways I'm back now and posting furiously again! (well, until Wednesday anyway, see below.)

Like I said I was ill on Thursday and Friday. Thankfully I was feeling much better on Saturday so I headed into town. I met my family in there and then I brought my 14 year old brother to see "Spider-Man 2". Good film, some excellent fight scenes and thankfully the makers didn't sideline the emotional aspect of the comics in favour for 120mins of action. In fact, if anything they might have overdone the emotions slightly! The superhero stuff became a backdrop to Peter and Mary Jane's relationship.

And yes, they found another reason to get a bra-less Kirsten Dunst soaking wet! Lol! Also watch out for another cameo appearance by Spidey creator Stan Lee (he saves a woman from falling bricks. Same thing he did in the first film!)

After that I gave my brother back to the family and went to meet up with a few friends. We went to the travel agent and booked the holiday! Starting on Sept 4th, myself and seven friends are heading to Playa del Inglas for a week! Should be great fun! (€360ea if anyone's wondering!)

Went out Saturday night with the gang. Fun night, we haven't done that in a long time. Can't wait for college to restart!!

I did exactly f**k all yesterday! Too tired, and too comfortable in the bed to even consider moving until at least 2 in the afternoon! Lol, I'm living the student dream!

Rang my girlfriend last night. We talked for ages and sorted things out. Thank God. Can't wait to see her again!

Oh, I finally started making concrete plans for my 21st bash at the weekend. August 14th for any of you in the area around then! Looking forward to seeing you all there ;)

I'm finished work this week on Wednesday. I'm taking next Thursday and Friday off, as well as the following Monday and Tuesday. That means that next Wednesday will probably be the last day that I can post this week until the following Wednesday. Of course I will try to find a connected computer to keep all you lucky, lucky people up to date on the Experience that is my life! Lol! ;)

Again, if anyone wants to add me to their MSN my contact is delux316@hotmail.com

Later
Stevie ;)

"To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull facilities can comprehend only in the most primitive forms — this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the ranks of the devoutly religious men."

My Favourite Song Ever

My favourite song ever is Eminem's "Sing for the Moment". I just love the lyrics and the melody is genius. It's the first track I listen to when I start work and it's what I listen to when I feel down.

Here are the lyrics

Verse 1
These ideas are nightmares for white parents, whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no bearing, it's so scary in a house that allows no swearing
to see him walking around with his headphones blaring, alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
He's a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out, when he talks about, his fuckin' dad walkin' out
cuz he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out. If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are wacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back, talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap, his step-father hit him, so he socked him back
and broke his nose, his house is a broken home. There's no control, he just let's his emotions go...

Chorus
C'mon! Sing with me (Sing!)
Sing for the year (Sing It)
Sing for the laughter
sing for the tear (C'mon!)
Sing it with me
Just for today
Maybe tomorrow
The good Lord will take you away...

Verse 2
Entertainment is changin', intertwinin' with gangstas, in the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum
holy or unholy, only have one homie, only this gun, lonely cuz don't anyone know me
Yet everybody just feels like they can relate, I guess words are a mothafucka they can be great
or they can degrate, or even worse they can teach hate
It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make, like they worship us
plus all the stores ship us platinum, now how the Fuck did this metamorphosis happen?
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'; to havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass
But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you, fans turn on you, attorneys all want a turn at you
To get they hands on every dime you have, they want you to lose your mind every time you mad
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon. Any dispute won't hesitate to produce handguns
That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me, strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly
But all they kids be listenin' to me religiously, so I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me
They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me. If I'm such a fuckin' menace, this shit doesn't make sense B
It's all political, if my music is literal, and I'm a criminal how the fuck can I raise a little girl?
I couldn't. I wouldn't be fit to. You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you!

Chorus

Verse 3
They say music can alter moods and talk to you, well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too?
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude, just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued
See what these kids do is hear about us totin' pistols and they want to get one cuz they think the shit's cool
not knowin' we really just protectin' ourselves, we entertainers, of course the shit's affectin' our sales, you ignoramus
But music is reflection of self, we just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail. It's fucked up ain't it?
How we can come from practically nothing to being able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing except for a dream, and a fuckin' rap magazine
who post pin-up pictures on they walls all day long, idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives, till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe. We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes
that's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it, cuz we consider these minutes golden
and maybe they'll admit it when we're gone. Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can...

Chorus (X2)

Ramblings of a Madman (part 2)

I'm in one of those humours again! I'm in an absolutely brilliant mood again for no reason whatsoever and it feels great!! Must be the Irish blood because I haven't taken any painkillers in a fortnight!

Work continues apace on this project at work (please God, let the link work this time!) and I'm beginning to get some idea of what I'm gonna be doing for the final year project for college. It doesn't look easy though. I hope it will be slightly easier than it looks!!


This is what I've come up with so far, it's getting complicated to get the buttons doing what I want. And this is only a tiny part of the project. :( Oh well, onwards and upwards!

I found a wonderful little program on Download.com called Media Monkey. It sorts through all the music on your harddrive which can then be searched via different categories such as Title, Artist, Album, Genre, even the tracks location on the hard drive. It also contains a player and it allows you to convert files from one type to another (e.g. .wma files to .mp3 files). It's a great program, well worth a look. (I haven't scanned it for spyware or adware yet though, so be careful.)

Gotta say, big props to my girl, JustAGirl. She made a decision about her study schedule and she's sticking to it. That's more than I could ever manage! Well done girl! Oh & thanks for that other thing too, you know what I'm talking about! :)

Oh & if anyone wants to add me to their MSN, my contact is the same as my email address.

Well that's my lot for today. I may post a few curiosities later though so check back soon!
Keep smiling!
Stevie ;)

All we have to decide is what to do with the time we are given

Hey hey kids! (said in a Krusty the Klown voice!)

I hope evertone had a good weekend. I had a relaxing one. No housemate, no family, no rules; just me, on my own, in the house! Ah, I should have got some good sleeping done!

Went to the cinema with a few friends on Saturday night. Was going to go see "Spider-Man 2", but that was booked out (I'm going to bring my brother to see it next weekend instead) so we went to "Walking Tall" with The Rock and Johnny Knoxville. It's not a great movie, but it passed an hour and a half pleasently enough. Some funny moments (& one moment for the wrestling fans in the audience... I think I was the only one in the cinema to notice it!) Afterwards we watched "Torque" and "Shrek 2" in my house. Both funny, but for different reasons! Got to sleep about 3.30am. Yawn!

Sunday was reeeeeaaaaally slow. I actually started thinking about my family in the middle of the day and came to a startling relevation; I miss living with them! I moved out of home just over a year ago and it's only now that I realise I miss them??! Whassup wit' dat?!

Anyways, I rang my mother and was talking to her for about half an hour, which was nice. Kinda weird though! Was planning on going to bed at 10 last night so I would be able to get up this morning. I managed that but couldn't tear myself away from watching "The Hole" which was on until 12. So this morning was fun getting up! Yawn 2!

Anyways I had fun this weekend, found out a few things about myself and got no sleep... all in all, a good few days work!

Laters!

Rant...

Rant Alert - Please ignore the following rant if you are of a nervous disposition or are sensitive to bad language.

Why is it always the same? Whay do I always feel so bad just after I visit my girlfriend or she visits me? I always feel like I fucked up. She is the one who doesn't seem to make an effort. Everything she does for me seems to be out of a sort of responsibility. She's my girlfriend, so she should do these things, not because she wants to but because she feels she is required to. Is it so fucking wrong to want her to want me as much as I want her? Is it so wrong that I'd like to feel wanted now and again. Is it so wrong that I hate it when she belittles me. I swallow my prides, take it, for the sake of avoiding an arguement, but it's eating me up inside. She realises sometimes that she is doing it and she apologises, but soon after we're back to the same old thing. And it's not that I'm having a go at her, I just feel like I gotta vent some steam. I spent 15minutes last night punching the wall, letting go of the frustration. I feel like it's my fault, like I made a mess of things. I just feel so helpless sometimes, so alone.

And despite all this bullshit, I can't imagine my life without her...

Rant over - sorry to everyone who had to read that little breakdown.

Changes are afoot...

...why they aren't "ahand", I'll never know!

Seriously though, I am considering taking down most of the stuff in my profile and try to keep this blog more annonymous. I was reading some of my old posts and I realised that if any of my friends found this site I could hurt a lot of people I love. So next Friday I think I will edit my profile and take down the picture completely. That should give anyone who wants to plenty of time to copy my profile (so you won't forget what I look like!)

Also I'm thinking of changing the address of the site (i.e. get rid of the stevie-h bit), but don't worry I'll give you plenty of warning before I decide to do that.

Anyone got any opinions?

Five Questions Game!

I got this off JustAGirls's blog and thought it might be fun to do this. She's asked me five questions and I will now try to answer them to the best of my ability.

1. Have you even been in trouble with the law?
Nope, never. "I'm a good lickle boy!"
2. Do you believe the girl you are with now will some day be your wife and give you children?
I can't say. I really care about her and would do anything for her... I guess time will tell.
3. Have you ever written a love letter?
Yes indeed, but I never sent it. I've written a few love poems as well, but they also were never revealed to the world
4. Do you believe in reincarnation?
I don't believe death is the end. Beyond that I couldn't say.
5. Why is it good to be a man?
It's good to be a man because I can take a piss standing up!!!

QUESTIONS COMPLETE!

If you want to play too, here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3. You'll update your website with my five questions, and your five answers.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

Mind Fire


Godammit, I thought it was fucking finished.
Thought I could relax, let it all go.
No, stop thinking, discount all I said.
All the bullshit my mind goes through.

Everyone talking, no one making sense.
My mind on fire, explosion happening.
Mouth open, no scream coming.
Last chance, fuck it already, too late.

Fists itching, no target coming.
Last minute mind change coming.
Hesitate don’t I, again, seeing it coming.
No fucking chance, this feeling going.

Everyone skirting it, no one listening.
Fire rising, everything burning.
People falling, the saviour missing.
Everyone teaching, no one learning.

Mind goes back, happier times.
Less pressure, freedom running.
Memory fading, heart breaking.
End of times, result my feeling.

Wine is Good for You! (or QotD extra!)

I know, I know, I've already done the quote of the day, but the email I just got is waaaaay too funny to be left until next Monday! EnjoY!

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel ashamed, then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the winery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
Jack Handy

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers: One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff was explaining the (good ol') Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of wine eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few wines."

LoL! :-D

It's all getting a bit repetitive, isn't it?

Back I go to the dentist tomorrow morning, this time for a check-up, but you just know she is gonna find something which needs "immediate action" and I'll be back in work on Monday next with even less teeth! Oh well, that should teach me for having a Coca-Cola addiction!!

The work this week is driving me absolutely insane! Amazon, God blees it's soul, takes anything up to four hours to update it's pages. Which means that I don't get to see any changes I make for four hours, which is reeeeally annoying! I'm going slowly mad!

Bla... urk.. argh... grrrrrrrrrrr... hick... flazzzz... ahem, sorry excuse me... I'll be right back.

Sorry bout that, just had to... erm... re-adjust something.

Is it wrong to be lonely when surrounded by so many people? Just thinking out loud. I think my good humour has died down for the time being. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be back eventually! I'm Irish, we don't do depressed!!

So, big smile, happy heart and onwards to meet the dentist!

Until next time...

Stevie ;)

what I do (when I'm not posting here that is!)

For anyone out there who might be wondering what I do with myself at work, this is a link to the project I am currently working on. The link may not be live yet (or may have a few problems with it) because we are constantly working on it and continously updating it.

Let me know what you think!

The Stevie Experience (continued!)

I must apologise to all my fans (all one of them!). The last few days I've been really lazy, just posting some old poems. So here is me making up for it!

Well I went to Cork for the weekend to visit my girlfriend. It went well until Sunday morning when we had a massive arguement. I'm not gonna go into details (suffice to say, it was my fault, I was being a toal jerk) but as soon as I realised what I was doing I apologised and we made up. Thank God, I lonely enough these days without losing her.

Anyway I came to work on Tuesday and was put on a new part of the project. Thankfully this section is a lot more interesting than the last one! I'm not as bored in work anymore!

Great win for my county in the provincial championships last Sunday! Next stop, the All-Ireland!

Anyways, it's been fun!
Stevie ;)

Friendship Broken

Friendships turn, my spirit broken
People I trust no longer there
Life demanding more than I can give
Last chance to offer up a prayer
Trouble brewing in my soul
I find I just no longer care.

WTF?!

Is it just me or is blogger f*cking about on anyone else? Posts aren't appearing, comments are going missing, it's enough to send you stark raving mad!!

Life on the Shelf

We all gotta go
Looking at me so
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not
You forget to stop
You forget you’re not that hot

It all goes to hell
The angels have all fell
You have but one life
You waste it on the shelf
You could save yourself from this strife
You can’t even help yourself

Time creeps by all of us
You gotta choose love or lust
You stare at him watching you
Turn back to me for comfort
Run after him to love you
Forget me, I’m not that sort

Quote of the Day

I'm back! ;)

Ramblings of a Madman

Hi all!

This will be last post until at least Tuesday as I'm on holidays tomorrow and Monday. I'm going to Cork to visit my girlfriend for the weekend and I can't wait! It's been about a month and a half since I saw her last so I'm looking forward to it.

Got moved onto another part of the current project at work today and I gotta tell you, I'm bored outta my skull. Updating webpages, yipee! :( But I'm not gonna let that get to me coz I'm in too good a humour! (seems to be the theme of the week!)

My mouth is still bothering me. Since my trip to the dentist, I've had good days and I've had bad days. Guess I gotta go back soon. Oh well!

Watched the Euro2004 semi last night. Solid match, not great but not terrible either. I hope the Czech Republic wins tonight and on Sunday though coz they were my pick from the start and my father would owe some money if they do it... to me, my precious currency <insert evil laugh here!>!!

Funny thing happened yesterday, I... no... wait... can't say that in public, sorry! ;)

Anyways, I'll be around here in work until bout 5 this evening (it's 2.30 now) so i might talk to you all later!

Keep smiling!
Stevie ;)
