Xmas Day

What promised to be a shitty christmas got off to a more than promising start, when a bunch of us Dubliners decided to meet up for a ride around the deserted city streets.

Inspired by a bit of wine we decided to spice up some of Dublin's statues with our messenger gear.

The Famine Monument has never looked as cheerful.

Putting a smile on my face today is something I didn't see happening, but again I was shown the value of friends, and how some time spent with good ones can change everything.

So I'll leave the 'bah, humbug' aside for the day and try to continue in the same vein. It's funny that one of the most annoying times of the year for me can produce little gems of hilarity that will stick with me for a long time.

So check out the photos and maybe some of them will put a little smile on your face as well.

Beginning of the End

So.. here we are. Finally comitting to writing a blog.

It will be good for me. Maybe not for others.

Last day of work yesterday, joy. I'll put my lycra away for a couple of weeks and try to realise that there is more to life than riding my bike, sleeping and getting drunk.

Leaving the country will be good. Returning will not.

But all good things must come to an end... like this... my first, brief, posting.

Oh, and by the way, the photo has nothing to do with anything, just wanted to put it there. That will be a theme for most things I write here I would imagine...
