The Stevie Experience

Woah!

2004-10-11T15:00:00.000+01:00

I must have really pissed somebody off!! Lol!

Anonymous is back

2004-10-09T17:40:00.000+01:00

Well hello everybody!

I was reading back through my posts again and I came across this. Go ahead, read it and then get back to me, I'll be waiting here.

.
.

Read it? Good. Now there is something that I can't quite put my finger on but I believe that "Anonymous" is feeling slightly hostile towards me! I do believe he has something against me!

Now I'm not normally one to give a shit, but if you wanna attack me, my character and my integrity you do it TO MY FACE. If you know me in real life, you confront me in real life. If you don't know me in real life then you don't know me at all. Who the fuck are you to decide you can judge me or you are better than me?

And even after all that you still decide you wanna start something against me, at least put it somewhere we can see it and read it. I mean there's a perfectly capable HaloScan comment line right there. Use that. Stop hiding in the blogger comments which are never read. You can even keep your precious anonymity.

I really should blog more...

2004-10-09T15:53:00.000+01:00

JaG has been giving out to me recently (:p) because I haven't been blogging very often as of late. And you know what, she's absolutely right!! Just because I'm back in college, that's no excuse not to blog. In fact it's probably an excellent reason to blog even more.

"Stevie's Adventures in College : The Final Year"

So from now on, I promise to try to blog more... and if I fail you have my full permission to beat me with a stick. A big stick. A big, pointy stick. A big, pointy stick covered in flesh-eating ants.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

2004-10-02T13:36:00.000+01:00

Now hear this!

Following on from these conversations and after a great idea from JaG, myself and the always lovely Lola Wolf have decided to do soemthing strange!

Basically we want to get to know each other intimately ;) Unfortunately, I live in Ireland and she lives in Oz! So we need your help!!

Please click on the button on my sidebar and donate what you can to the fund! Every donation we get brings us that much closer to each other!!

And sure if it doesn't work out, it's all fun!

Stevie ;)

EDIT: Oh and everything she says about ME being innocent and teaching ME a thing or two is all lies! She's got it backwards!! ;)

And now for the pictures! Pt.3

2004-10-02T09:50:00.000+01:00

Especially for Jenny:

My lounging-around-the-house gear. My Aston Villa jersey and my tracksuit pants. All I need to relax! (Here being expertly modeled an up-and-coming young model, M.Y.Chair!)

Where I watch TV from... my bed! Ah but it's a lovely place to watch TV from! You can also see my Simpsons posters!
Oh and in case anyone's wondering, this is my tv:

So there! ;)

My bathroom (which ironically, doesn't have a bath!). This picture is taken just to the right of the toilet picture below. You can see the shower, the sink, the window, the towel and my toothbrushes!

And now for the pictures! Pt.2

2004-10-02T09:41:00.000+01:00

Especially for JustAgirl:

My favourite shoes! I've had them for ages and wear them everywhere. They're beginning to show their age now but I can't bring myself to throw them out!!

The toilet. Lid left up (as usual) by one of my housemates. Very clean, we don't stand for filth in this house!! ;)

The picture of me as a baby will have to wait until next week I'm afraid, I haven't had a chance to go home yet to get it...

And now for the pictures! Pt.1

2004-10-02T09:30:00.000+01:00

Especially for Andy:

This is my work space at home in my room. The place where I do most of my college stuff and anything else I need to do! You will notice in the pic:
- the laptop (d'oh!)
- 2 bottles of deodrant (one empty, one full)
- 2 decks of "Magic: The Gathering"
- 20 or so infantry models
- 1 tank model
- 1 iPod USB cable
I could show you my desk at work, but then I'd have to kill you!!

This is my big toe... erm... and what a toe it is! My big toe... on the right... my toe

This is my back garden. Sorry the image looks so crappy, I must've taken it during the rare two seconds of sun we had yesterday!! You should be able to make out the small wall, the table and the back wall. I'll try to get a better one today.

Another fucking migraine

2004-09-30T19:20:00.000+01:00

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...

2004-09-30T15:27:00.000+01:00

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!

Stevie ;)

My mother likes wrestling....?!

2004-09-29T19:36:00.000+01:00

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...

2004-09-29T18:55:00.000+01:00

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.........

Stevie ;)

sigh...

2004-09-28T19:10:00.000+01:00

today is Claire's birthday.

You'd think I'd be over it by now, wouldn't you? :(

I really, really, really, REALLY hate...

2004-09-27T19:16:00.000+01:00

...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!!

Stevie ;)

5 things I don't understand...

2004-09-27T18:36:00.000+01:00

five things I don't understand

1. Women
2. Women
3. Women
4. Women
5. Women

Seriously though...

1. Who decided what was a fruit and what was a vegetable
2. Why I can't wiggle my ears (I have such silly sticky-outy ones!)
3. Why women must go to the bathroom in groups of two or more
4. Bananas
5. Women

I'm shocked!!

2004-09-26T13:50:00.000+01:00

No particular reason, I just am!

OMG!! LOL!

2004-09-26T13:11:00.000+01:00

I was reading back over some of my recent post and their comments and I came across a comment I hadn't read before...

your a chicken shit, start the fight then run off?? muppet
Anonymous | 09.24.04 - 9:52 am | #

Is it just me or does anyone else see the irony of someone hiding behind the "Anonymous" name and then calling ME a chicken shit?! Lol!

Stevie ;)

In response to the recent trend of penial and boobie naming...

The Ranch Hand

2004-09-19T09:32:00.000+01:00

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...
.

"If you ever wear my clothes to town again, I'll fire you on the spot!!"

Return of the King... ;)

2004-09-17T14:13:00.000+01:00

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!
Stevie ;)

Oh dear, oh dear!!

2004-09-15T17:37:00.000+01:00

Unfortunately, the new skin is experiencing some teething issues, therefore we're back to this original skin for the time being. Sorry!

I'm back!!! :)

2004-09-13T17:09:00.000+01:00

Just a quick post to let all my fans know that I'm safe and back in action!! I'm waaaaaaaay too tired to post anything meaningful today so you'll have to make do with this short hello! I'll post about the holiday on Wednesday.

Be good!!
Stevie ;)

Welcome to TSE MK2

2004-09-03T11:51:00.000+01:00

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!

Holidays!

2004-09-03T09:41:00.000+01:00

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! ;)

104 and counting

The Big Issue

2004-09-03T09:30:00.000+01:00

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.

Keep Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...

2004-09-02T13:57:00.000+01:00

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!!

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!!

I have some very morbid thoughts...

2004-08-30T15:37:00.000+01:00

I was watching MTV and Britney Spears song "Everytime" came on (the one where she appears to die in the bath) an I started wondering how people would react if I died tragically (it's gotta be tragically mind, I've always had an eye for the poetic!)

I wondered who would turn up at my funeral, I wondered who would be crying, I wondered would I be able to tell my friends from my "well-wishers", I wondering if my ex-girlfriend would come, I wondered how they would get there, I wondered...

I then started wondering how different people would react if it was them who found me dead...

It's an interesting thought, I wonder what the answer is...

Values

2004-08-25T16:28:00.000+01:00

A true story of values . . . . I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend was a dream!

There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed. That one thing was my fiancé's younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years old, wore tight mini skirts and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down near me and I enjoyed many pleasant views of her underwear. It had to be deliberate... I didn't notice her doing this near anyone else.

One day the sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived and whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she could not overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me - just once - before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word.

She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me."

I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When
she reached the top, she pulled down her panties andthrew them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door, stepped out of the house, and began walking directly toward my car.

My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes, he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter."

"Welcome to our family!"

Soon I was married and soon was made a full partner in my in-law's family business. Everything has blossomed in my life. I am a respected member of my community and church.

I was so pleased have affirmation of the values and lessons that I had gotten from family members as I matured from a child to a youth to a boy to a young man. That even though temptations might come across your path and passion could trigger foolishness - that it was prudent to try to give space to a next step, give time to fully understand what might be the dangers in a situation.

So, I am eternally glad to all who have molded and shaped me and taught me how to conduct my life. And particularly I am thankful to my uncle Bobby, and that I kept his lesson as a matter of faith, I really didn't know that what I had thought an inconvenience would end up being such an important factor in my life.

And now, I pass the advice that Uncle Bobby gave to me on as the morale of this story.

The Week that Was in the Stevie Experience

2004-08-23T11:03:00.000+01:00

Well hello everybody! Miss me?!

What a week!! Last time I was talking to you was... last Friday week! That long?! And here's me thinking like it was just a couple of days! Ah how time flies when you're not working!!

Well the party... erm... well what I can remember was excellent!! I definately drank waaaaay too much! One of my friends kept putting double tequilas in front of me!! By the third one I was downing them without salt or the lemon!! God that was fun, watching the bartender's face as I knocked my head back and downed the full glass, put it back on the bar an my friend telling him to refill!!

Back at my place afterwards I spent most of the night in my back garden sitting on a garden table drinking beer, staring at the stars. It's at this point my memory gets hazy! I can remember a friend driving off to the 24hour shop and coming back with ice lollies... man, they were nice! I can remember getting (crawling!) into bed around 6.30am but I am definately missing about two hours somewhere!! God bless tequila!

I woke up on Sunday morning (well technically it was Sunday afternoon, but whatever!) and amazingly, my head wasn't too bad! My stomach was screaming it's protest to my new found love of tequila but other than that I wasn't too bad...

...at least I wasn't too bad until everyone had left. I started the cleanup and everything was going well until I decided to go down to the supermarket to get some food. As soon as the fresh air hit me, I became really (REALLY!) tired and just wanted to sleep! The girl I live with was laughing at me because she said I immediately turned a pale green as soon as I got outside! But, to my credit, I didn't throw up (Saturday or Sunday). Go me!!!

Monday and Tuesday were fairly quite all round except that on Tuesday evening I got a message from a girl asking me was I Stephen? Apparently she had my number in her old phone and she was wondering who I was. Now I have no idea who this girl is or how she got my number but what the hey! I replied and said yes, I was Stevie. And we started chatting. Still don't know how she got my number or knows who I am. She told me that she got it off a friend. Anyways, we've chatted a few times and the text messages are getting... steamier! Now I know good textsex (thanks Dee!!), and she seems very clumsy, but she is making an effort! Who knows maybe she'll improve!! Lol, that makes me sound very shallow! Oh well!!

The rest of the week I spent at home with the family. I enjoyed it, it's nice to go home for a while.

I had to go to the dentist AGAIN on Saturday!! A filling and an extraction. Not fun (the whole left side of my face stopped working for an hour) but just one more visit (another filling and extraction) and I should be finished... hopefully!!

I got a 40Gb iPod on Saturday as well! It's my parents present to me for my 21st, and it kicks ass!! With the ability to hold 10,000 mp3s, I have my ENTIRE CD collection in the palm of my hand! Ah the joys of technology!

Well that's you all up to date! I'm back to work today and I'm snowed under already!! Yipee!!

Stevie ;)

Well I'm off now... PAAAAAAAR-TAAAAAAAAY!

2004-08-13T14:05:00.000+01:00

My 21st party is tomorrow night, hopefully I'll have a great time! And I hope to see all you fine people there!!

I have next week off for my holidays so the next time I'll be in work and able to post properly will be Monday, 23rd August. I'll try to get some time o post before that if I can.

Of course I want to see a whole bunch of presents in my inbox when I get back!

Anyways talk to you all later!

2004-08-13T10:51:00.000+01:00

Argh, my head! This week is not being kind to me! I got a migraine last night just after I came home from work. Even though it was a really mild one (the fact I'm able to look at a computer screen now shows that, usually I'm out for three days) it still knocked me for six. I went to bed last night at 6.15pm yesterday evening and only got up to throw up until 8.30am this morning... not a pleasant night.

Now it feels like I'm hungover (without the fun beforehand!). Head is full of wool, my stomach isn't feeling its usually jovial self and my throat has sealed itself shut! Oh dear, oh dear!

Other than that I'm feeling great!! ;)

The Lonely Brain Cell

2004-08-12T10:37:00.000+01:00

Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which by mistake happened to end up in a man's head.

She looked around nervously but it was all empty and quiet.

"Hello?" she cried, but no answer.
"Is there anyone here?" she cried a little louder, but still no answer.

Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled at the top of her voice...
"HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE HERE?"
Then she heard a very faint voice from far, far away

"We're down here .."

A man boarded an aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realized she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo! she took the seat right beside him.

Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, "business trip or vacation?" She turned, smiled enchantingly and said "Business. I'm going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States."

He swallowed hard here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded. "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"
"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent."

"We have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."

Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name."

"Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy."

Dreams of Fear leads to Fear of Dreams

2004-08-10T10:25:00.000+01:00

I hate having nightmares. Which is usually ok, because I hadn't had one in years. Until last week. Now I've been woken up every night in the last five days with the fear of God in me. Last night was especially bad...

I was in a dark room. I could just see the outline of a door ahead of me, the light peeping through the keyhole. I looked around and could see nothing else. I couldn't tell if I was alone or not. I thought I could here breathing but anytime I tried to listen for it, it stopped. I walked towards towards the door. When I got to it, I couldn't find the door handle. I searched frantically for it. Suddenly I heard really heavy breathing behind me. I spun around to see what it was and I was confronted by a young child. She smiled and then disappeared. Not in a puff of smoke or anything, she just kind of dissolved into the background. I turned around again and I could see the door handle at last. I went to open the door but a tremendous fear took hold of my heart. I forced myself to ignore it. As I opened the door a great scream echoed through the room &...

... I woke up. I was sitting up in bed, panting, heart thumping & a cold stream of sweat snaking it's way down my spine. It took me another hour to get back to sleep.

Now I'm not the type of person that allows dreams affect my life. A dream is a dream, it can't hurt you and while it's a major event while it lasts, it's gone as soon as you wake up. But what I realised this morning really shook me... I'm not looking forward to going back to bed tonight. I'm like a two year old, scared of the monsters under my bed. I'm actually afraid of having another dream like it. Which is really stupid. The only thing I can see that I'm scared of in this case is being afraid. I'm going around in circles! I'm afraid of being afraid. That sounds so stupid when you think about it!

As scared as I was/am, I am really interested as to the reason why I've suddenly started having nightmares again. Is it something to do with John? Claire? Something else? Tonight, if I have the same dream again, I'm going to try to talk to the child. Ask her a few questions, see if she can answer my questions. She might be my guide through this.

And what is on the other side of the door that has me so scared. Why can't I see what it is? Why did I wake up just then? So many questions...

Anyways,
Talk to you all later

Hi all, I trust everyone had a fun weekend!

My weekend was... different. I went home Friday evening and did basically f*ck all for the whole evening! Caught up with the family's stories but very little else!

When I woke up on Saturday, almost immediately a fierce dread hit me... I had to go back to the dentist today! Oh no! Not only that, I also had an appointment with the hygenist... ah well, it's for my own good... gulp!

The dentist actually wasn't too bad, (a filling in 6, upper left, if that means anything to you!) the real pain came at the hygenist, which surprised me. She went around my mouth with a "scrappy thingy" (thats the scientific dentist name for it!) which shot a freezing cold, tiny jet of water out of it. Freezing water impacting on an exposed nerve... ouchie! I felt like strangling her a couple of times!! Oh well, at least she was good looking!

Yesterday was John's funeral and I chickened out. I couldn't go, I couldn't face it, I couldn't see all the same faces again. All the same faces I saw just a year ago. The same faces, the same conversations, the same "it's such a shame" looks from the mourners, the same, the same, all over again. So I didn't go. I didn't know him well enough for me to be missed. I spent a couple of hours in my room thinking about him. I said my prayers for him. I went to the grave that evening to pay my respect. I hope you understand John...

Anyways, that was my weekend.
Hope you had all a good few days
Later

On my way back home to the family tonight. I got ANOTHER dentist appointment tomorrow, oh lucky me! I'll be back on Monday with a sore mouth (might shut me up for a while! ... Actually, no, it probably won't!) and hopefully that'll be the end of my dentistry for at least a year... please God!

Weekend from Hell

2004-08-04T12:42:00.000+01:00

Hi all. Sorry if any of you missed me, I was on holidays since last Wednesday. Not a fun few days...

Thursday and Friday went okay. Went home to the family, stayed there until Friday evening and then came back here to Waterford. As I was walking into my house I got a phone call from my girlfriend's best friend asking me to her 21st that Sunday. Nice one, I thought, a fun weekend ahead! Alas...

I was woken up on Saturday by my mobile phone ringing beside me. It was my Dad. I answered him and I could tell from the quiver in his voice something was wrong.

DAD: "Stephen, sorry to have to tell you this... John*... John was killed last night in Spain. He... ah... he fell of a balcony."
ME: "... ... Fuck... ..."
DAD: "I know, I'm sorry Stevie..."

John was a friend of mine from Primary school. He's the third person from the year above me to die in the last five years. We weren't that close, but he was a friend. I spent the rest of the day in shock.

I decided to go to the 21st anyway. It might take my mind off things. I got on the bus at 12.30 and arrived 3 hours later. Not a bad bus journey considering. I got to the birthday girl's house. It was a fun gathering but I was distracted. I went into my room for the night to change my shirt and my girlfriend Claire* followed me. We started talking and we came to the conclusion that although we really care about each other, it just wasn't working between us. I knew this, I just didn't want to acknowledge it. We decided to break up. A mutual decision, the right decision but I still hurt. I know it wasn't working with her but I will miss her.

That night we all went clubbing. I drank waaaaaay too much and then everything hit me at once... John, Claire, the drink... and I broke down in the middle of the club. Spent the next hour outside trying to compose myself. Claire came looking for me to see what was wrong. I told her about John. I spent the rest of the night spilling my heart to her about John, about her, about everything. It was such a relief to get everything off my chest. I think we are closer friends now than in the whole nine months we were going out.

And that was my holidays, not the best, but definately the most memorable.

Claire, I love you & I will miss you.

John, God speed. I hope it's better up there than down here at the moment. Put in a good word for me with the Big Guy!! ;)

Life extinguished way too early,
God takes what we earned fairly,
Life demanding more than I can give,
God challenges us, our life to live.

Anyways, that was my weekend. Definately the most eventful of my recent life.

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

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

2004-07-21T16:22:00.000+01:00

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)

2004-07-21T14:06:00.000+01:00

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 ;)

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!

19 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity

2004-07-19T12:17:00.000+01:00

1. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.

6. Leave your coworkers memos reminding them that if they build it they will come.

7. Finish all your sentences with "... in accordance with the prophecy."

8. Don't use any punctuation.

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.

11. Specify that your drive-thru order is "to go."

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their after-work outing because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.

17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, "I won! I won! This is the third time this week!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

19. Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

Rant...

2004-07-15T12:30:00.000+01:00

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...

2004-07-14T14:31:00.000+01:00

...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?
