''just to be sure''

Hi every one, me hear again, owen that is, i just want to do one more blog, just to be on the safe side. i think this is forty five completed now. the thing is, what do i talk about to ye, while im writting the blog, that, i have no idea, let me think for a moment, eh,h,h,h,H, nope, i can not think of a thing to say. any way its summer time again and were all smiling, especially after such depressing long winter. The sun is shinning and every one is happy, but then again we are all shiny happy people.

4th place!

Hello everyone as you know all I ever blog about is football and Aston Villa in particular. If you have no interest in football your probably growing tired of the same topic week in week out... unfortunately this week is no different! The race for 4th place is really hotting up Aston Villa have secured 13 points from their last available 15 to put themselves back in contention for the coveted champions league spot. After an epic derby win via a James Milner penalty on Sunday spirits are high among players and fans alike. Villa play Man city at Eastlands on Saturday in possibly their biggest game of the season(excluding the Cup Final of course). I am praying to God that they get a result on Saturday purely to keep the dream alive until the last game of the season. Blackburn come to Villa park on the last day and i will be sat there in the Holte end cheering my beloved Villa on like a lunatic (thanks for the trip in advance Dad!!). I can honestly say that me going to that match is the best news i can think of!!:)

Hi all,
With only one week of college left there is plenty for me to be happy about. I got my scriptwriting treatment handed in early so that's one less deadline to be worrying about thank god. I've got a lot to look forward to this week, class party on Thursday (gonna be epic!!), house party on Friday and of course the possibility of going to Clane on Saturday for a session! After all that there's not a hope of me going out on Sunday for the bank holiday because I'll be broke but it's money well spent if you ask me.
Not to forget of course that after this weekend my name could be written in the TG4 history books! Kris assures me that his new short film as gaeilge will bring us all fame and fortune when it hits the small screen so that's certainly something to look forward to haha.
Finally readers this may or may not be my last blog. It all depends on whether or not United win the premiership so don't hold your breath! If I don't talk to you again have a good Summer and keep smiling.

A Hard Days Night... Shakesphere style.

I found this video on youtube a while back. Its one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It may not be news as such but if it doesnt put a smile on your face then your just weird. Peter Sellers is a legend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLEMncv140s

Have a good summer folks

Keep smiling, Eddie :)

The Premier League

It's well and truly at the business end of the season and it is going to go right to the wire. This seasons Premier League has been full of goals injuries and controversy and in my opinion the best is yet to come. Never in a season has there been so many upsets for the first time in years the gap between the top four and the rest of the league has been minimal the big clubs haven't dominated in the manner in which they usually do. Still at this late stage the title race is wide open, I think last week Arsenals' title challenge finally faded but it is a great thing for the game that it was a three horse race for so long. The race for the fourth champions league position is still hanging in the balance, it kills me to say it but my beloved Villa have fallen away yet again and in my opinion its between Man City and Tottenham for the fourth place. At the other end of the table Portsmouth have already been relegated but there are four or five teams still vying for safety. This weekend of football will have a big say in the outcome of the league with Tottenham playing Man utd in the early game on Saturday. As for Aston Villa well its not impossible for them to gain that fourth place it is a funny old game aftre all!!

World Cup 2010

Despite the fact that our beloved Ireland failed to make it to the World Cup (were robbed by a dirty Frenchman) I am still very excited about it. The World Cup is the biggest event in world sports and the excitement that surrounds the event is like no other. This years tournament is the first to be held on African soil and I'm sure the enthusiastic African culture will make this World Cup one of the best ever. Due to the fact that Ireland aren't competing this year may take from the excitement of the Irish public. However I have the solution and it is a simple one...gamble!

The advert for sky betting really sums it up "it matters more when there is money on it". Never a truer word spoken. Myself and a group of my friends have set up a bet amongst ourselves, we drew teams from a hat at €50 a man. I pulled out Italy and USA, I have to say I feel a little unlucky but saying that you can never write off the Italians. So the other day I went out and bought an Italy jersey obviously it doesn't compare to the pride of watching the boys in green but it is definitely the next best thing!!

Here we have an aluminium body off a lorry which became wedged between a bridge on the new M9 motorway heading towards Dublin. It was a bit of an unusual sight to pass on my usuall trip down to college which resulted in me turning around in order to get a picture. A guard on site said that it was most likely the driver who accidently pressed the button to raise the container resulting in it getting lodged. And wheres the good news you ask? Well, with cars allowed to travel at 120km an hour on the road, it was pure luck that there was none travelling behind the lorry as there would have definately been casualties. So thats something to be happy about and with the weather as it is theres no reason why no one shoudn't be smiling.
