I wasn't there then, but I could have been here earlier
I've restarted contributing to Wikipedia, mostly articles on abortion in Ireland, but recently Dublin Pride. Writing summaries about pride parades in the early/mid 2000s from newspaper articles, reminds me how I wasn't out, and didn't go to things like that while in university. It can make me feel like I missed a lot. I have a deep respect for ( Read more... ) -

update
Got married. Have moved country. Last time I mentioned an upcoming motorbike trip. Did that, went around Spain. France, Italy and Switzerland. And then did a more extreme one around the former Yugoslavia. And then a few years later did a more extreme one which involved some unpaved roads in the mountains of Albania. -

Traveling
Been a while since I updated.
Me and Tom are going to Madrid tomorrow for a few days. Should be nice to get away from the rain.

My current job is annoying and unfulfilling. -

However towards the end I started to get the hang of it and was doing quite ( Read more... ) -
New bike & Illness
Just a quick note.
I got a new motorbike recently! It's a Honda Transalp 650. It's been restricted to be learner legal. (photos). When I first got it, I was uncomfortable since it was so big and powerful. However that day, me and Tom went for a nice ride through Enniskerry and Kilternan. It was a lovely day and a lovely ride. I started to ( Read more... ) -
Moving
Moved house again. That's a total of 3 places out of home I've lived in. From living with dirty knackers who steal, to living in a really nice apartment with 2 other lads, now me and tom have our own place in city centre. It's great to be able to walk into town in about 10 minutes (seriously) and it's great to have our own place. We can use the ( Read more... ) -
