Tats Life

Hi everyone,
I've been falling behind in my posts so I'm sorry. But sure when we fall of that horse (or wagon) we show our true character by getting back up again. So... happy. Umm well I got a tattoo yesterday and its awesome. I'd post a pic but my camera is regretably not working. I saw a great band last Friday aswell by the way. Mediocre they are called. Brilliant stuff. I start shooting for my short film on Tuesday. I am praying for good weather. Oh and Its Paddys day on Wedensday so I will probably forget to post again. Sorry... But life goes on and if me not posting again is the worst thing that happens then we have nothing to worry about.

Good Luck to y'all

Oxygen 2010

Oxygen tickets went on sale yesterday and this truly is great news. Personally I never really saw the attraction of Oxygen, to me the thought of camping in a dirty field without a shower for four days wasn't all that appealing. For years all I've heard from everyone is how great oxygen is and how much I would love it. I always remained sceptical. But this is a new decade, it's the summer of 2010 I'm a college student I'll be 18 and it has to be said that this years line up is fantastic.So despite all my past protests I have made up my mind, I am going to Oxygen and I am excited about it. Well if you can't beat them, join them!

The Hitman

As a wrestling fan all my life I couldn't be more excited about this years Wrestlemania. One match inparticular has the WWE universe in a frenzy, over 12 years has passed but finally my child hood hero Bret "the hitman" Hart will wrestle in the WWE one last time. As I'm sure most of you remember the "Montreal screwjob" at Survivor Series 1997, when Vince McMahon screwed Bret out of the title. Bret was outraged and he spit at Vince and vowed not to wrestle for the WWE again. About a month ago Bret Hart returned to Monday night RAW to say goodbye and make piece with old enemies. Mr. McMahon betrayed Bret once again by kicking and humiliating him. Bret was also injured in a "mysterious car accident2 in the car park in which he broke his leg. But Bret being the courageous fighter that he is still accepted a fight at wrestlemania against Vince. Will Bret be able to overcome his injuries and extract revenge on the cunning Chairman. Bret has 20 days in which to recover for the fight he has wanted for 12 years now. Regardless of whether he wins or not he will always have a place in the heart of the WWE fan and besides if anyone could win this it's the hitman. "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be"

Chape Whiskey Alert!!

Good news everyone! Aldi have decided to make it a little easier on us in these recession times. They have brought out a whiskey that tastes very similar to my old friend Jim Beam but at half the price. So at 15 euro a bottle I can safely say I'll be doing a lot more booze shopping in Aldi. Let the chape booze revolution continue! Go for forth armed with this knowledge, get hammered, be happy and for Gods sake shine on!!!

This weeks student hall of fame award should have been handed out way back in september 2009, to the most loyal and committed stundent BEN, THE REASON WHY very simple bens class attendance has been spectacular, unmarked until recently that is, yes that bad word rag week, or should i say under the influence of alcohol, and the demonic pressure from unamed class mates, ben has missed one day in total well done ben keep shaming the rest of us we deserve it!!

A Hard Days Night

Hey everyone,
Found out yesterday that filming for the first film I'm directing will begin on the 16th of March. So if you see some guys dressed as the Beatles running around Carlow then walk in the other direction because I have enough problems to deal with without a bunch of curious little wankers getting in the way.

Wayne Rooney continued his blinding form yesterday by firing Manchester United to Carling Cup glory once again. As I am a United fan myself this is great news! Rooney is having the season of his life. He seems to be scoring in every game and this leads me to ask, who is the best striker in the world. I've narrowed it down to Rooney, Drogba and Torres. All three are in exceptional form for their clubs and are almost single -handedly winning games for them.

2009 was a great year for Torres. Everything he touched turned to goals but similarly to liverpool this season he is slipping out of the limelight.

Drogba has been firing in the goals all season for Chelsea and has been a great attribute for the club since joining them in 2004. If Chelsea win the premier league this year which God forbid they won't, it will no doubt be because of the efforts of Didier Drogba. He was badly missed while he was at the African Cup of Nations but since his return he has been keeping Chelsea at the summit of the league.

Since Christiano Ronaldo's departure from old trafford in the summer, heads turned to Rooney to score the goals. Personally I didn't think he could do it but he has proved me wrong, thankfully! He is currently the Premiership's leading scorer and this season so far has possibly been better than Torres' incredible season last year.

Obviously, as a United surporter, I'm picking Rooney but i'll leave it up to you to decide.

Keep on shining, Eddie

Referees

My good news of the day is my heart has finally healed following the devestation of Villa's defeat in the Carling Cup Final on Sunday. Aston Villa can consider themselves extremely unlucky to walk away empty handed and a great deal of blame can be put on the referee for this. Nemanja Vidic blatantly hacked down Gabby Agbonlahor in the penalty area, the referee gave the penalty but failed to produce a redv card despite the fact that Vidic was the last man and Agbonlahor was clean through on goal. Personally I am starting to lose faith in the beautiful game. In less than six months my Country were unjustly knocked out of the World Cup thanks to poor refereeing and the hand of a Frenchman and now my beloved Aston Villa find themselves on the end of yet another disgraceful decision by the man in black. I have always been opposed to the introduction technology into the game, I was of the opinion that it would take away from the magic and the unpredictability of the game. However enough is enough something must be done to eliminate these kind of incidents from the game. I'm not entirely sure that a 3rd eye is the answer, maybe some younger, better trained referees would bring an end to the madness. All I am sure of is that the head men at FIFA need to do something before it is too late. Okay maybe I'm not over the heartbreak just yet!!
