Another fucking migraine
My head is throbbing, I can't see out of my right eye and I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Fucking migraines. And I got to do a project for college, that's why I'm online.
God is fucking with my life now.

Picture me this, picture me that...
A meme shamlessly nicked from Andy's blog.
Think of 3 pictures you'd like to see. Leave whatever you'd like to see in the comments. Things around my house, or whatever .... something I can take a picture of easily. I'll post them as the requests come in. If I can't, or won't, take a picture of something you've requested, I'll let you know.
Be creative!!
Oh by the way, I only have a web cam to be taking the pictures with (sadly no digital camera) so some of the quality mightn't be up to scratch, sorry!

My mother likes wrestling....?!
I was listening to some music a week ago when I was at home in my parents house. I (as usual) had the music on random, so I didn't know what the next song would be. The next song to come on was Bret Hart's old WWF theme tune "Hitman". I was listening away to this when my mother walks in and asks what it is. I tell her and then she says that it's a lovely song! What...?! My mother thinks a wrestling song is lovely?! Am I hearing things? No, she assured me, she was sincere! Well I was shocked, wonders will never cease!!
Anyways, I love the song, so here it is for you all to enjoy!
So very tired...
A full day of college (7 one-hour lectures in a row),
Indoor soccer (1 hour of pure energy exertion),
Now I'm in work (4 hours of mind-numbing boredom).
AND I didn't get to bed very early last night!
Yawn.........

I really, really, really, REALLY hate...
...enforced celibacy!!
Optional celibacy is fine. It makes me feel better about myself sometimes. And sometimes it gives me the upper hand (**evil laugh**), but enforced celibacy sucks!
I haven't gotten any in 2 and a half months now and I'm getting sooooooo horny! I swear to ya, that hole in the couch is getting more and more attractive every time I see it!!

The Ranch Hand
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman, and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two men applied for the job. One was gay, the other a drunk.
She thought long and hard about it, and when no-one else applied, she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring that it would be a lot safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching.
For weeks the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.
Then one day the widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels."
The hired hand readily agreed, and went into town one Saturday night.
However, one o'clock came and he hadn't returned. Two o'clock, and no hired hand. He returned about two-thirty and upon entering the house he found the widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him. She quietly called him over to her. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed.
"Now take off my boots."
He did as she asked, ever so slowly.
"Now take off my socks."
He removed each gently, and placed them neatly by her boots.
"Now take off my skirt."
He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the firelight.
"Now take off my bra."
Again with trembling hands he did as he was told, and dropped it to the floor.
"Now," she said, "take off my panties,"
By the light of the fire, he slowly pulled them down and off.
Then she looked at him and said...

Return of the King... ;)
Ahoy-hoy kids!!
Reeeeally sorry peeps about the unnaturally long delay between meaningful posts, I've been unreal busy recently! I started back to college last Monday and I started back to work last Monday evening! I certainly know how to spread myself about!!
But I'm sure you all want to know how the holiday went! Well....
I think it's safe to say that it was a week of firsts! My first holiday, my first flight, the first time I can't remember coming home from a night out, first time I've started a street fight (it wasn't my fault, see below!!), the first time I've thrown up on the street, the first time I've kissed a non-Irish girl, etc, etc!!
Anyways, I had a great time! The flight over was in the middle of the night and we had to take a detour around Spain because of a massive thunderstorm which I could see out my window. It was spectacularly beautiful watching the lightning bounce around the clouds and illuminating the whole area.
I can't remember coming home on Tuesday evening, I was reeeeeally drunk! The reps out there kept trying to drag us into their bar. By Tuesday we were able to negotiate all sorts of stuff from them. That night we managed to blag 3 free one litre bottles of peach schnaps, 3 free rounds of cocktails and a shot of congac each... no wonder I don't remember getting home!!
The street fight... ah yes, the street fight... it's actually a funny story! We had just arrived in the Irish center for the night and we wondering where we should go when a girl ran past with some big fella chasing her. She stopped, turned around and screamed at him to leave her alone. She turned to go again and he grabbed her arm. It was at this point my God damn sense of honour got the best of me and tapped the guy on the shoulder and told him to back off. My God but he didn't like that!! He took a swing at me. I ducked. Unfortunately for him, at that moment there was a 6 1/2 foot giant of a Dane and his friends walking behind me... Guess what the guy hit?! Myself and my friends decided this would be a good time to leave. So we left just as the fight kicked off. There you go, the first fight I ever started!
Anyways I best get back to work! Talk to you soon!

Welcome to TSE MK2
Welcome to the newly redesigned Stevie Experience! I did this redesign in my spare time over the last few days, I hope you like it!
If not, don't worry. As I'm going to be gone for the next week, I'm going to open the floor to comments and critisims. Any browser bugs you find, display problems or if you just think the new design sucks, let me know! I have saved the old skin, so I can change back if need be! Enjoy!
Holidays!
I'm flying off to Spain tomorrow for a week. Myself and a group of friends from college are going to Playa del Inglas for a week. I'm looking forward to it, it should be fun!
I've never been on an airplane before. Hell, I've never really been on a foreign holiday before! I've been to Switzerland on a school tour, but that doesn't really count.
And you never know, maybe I'll find someone to "look after" me over there! ;)
The Big Issue
I'm not over Claire* yet.
At least that's how I felt last night. I was flicking through the channels, looking for something to watch, and I came across the MTV VMAs 2004. It was Usher's performance of "Yeah" and as soon as I heard the music I was back in my favourite club, dancing with Claire. We loved dancing together to that song. We were in sync with that song. And lying in bed, watching the TV, listening to that song, knowing that myself and Claire would never dance together like that again I got really depressed and upset. So much so, that I actually had to turn off the TV and go to sleep. Last night I felt like my heart was breaking all over again.
Today is different. Today I feel remorse that it's over, but I'm okay with it. I miss chatting to her, and it's eating me up inside that she's ignoring me, but I'm okay. I'm not pining after her, I'm not texting or calling her every few days (hell I've given up trying to make contact at all). I just miss talking to her. We were good friends, apart from being boyfriend and girlfriend. I think I miss my friend more than anything.
I just read the last two paragraphs and I realise I'm contradicting myself. But that's what heartache will do to you.
* Names changed
Not quite, but almost
I know I promised a monster post today, but instead what I'm going to do is write multiple mini posts. Enjoy!

Keep Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...
With the iPod allowing me to have my ENTIRE music collection with me at all times, I've found myelf listening to some of the older tracks in my collection, stuff I haven't listened to in years. I was walking to work this morning with the iPod shuffling tracks, so I didn't know what track would be next when suddenly I heard the immortal words...
"Al'right partner, keep on rollin' baby, you know what time it is..."...and immediately I was 17 again, bouncing with my mates in school, staying up all night to watch WWF on tv, getting chills everytime I heard Undertaker make his entrance, Just back before I moved away from home, before I started college, before I started working. Ahhh the memories!
I've included a lo-res version of the song below (just 16kbps, wma only, sorry Linux/Mac users :( ). It's not my favourite song ever, but it was definately my favourite for the longest!!

It's so not me...!
First, an apology. I haven't been posting much lately, I've been a bit off. With the holiday coming up and trying to get stuff organised as well as work actually being busy recently, I've been snowed under. And I haven't really had much to post about.
I'm really tired these days for some reason. I can't seem to raise my energy levels at all! :( Oh well.
Short post today. I'll keep posting any funny stuff I come across and I promise I'll have a massive post for you all on Friday!!
