In Cork City, the center of town is surrounded by steep hills and if you walk up them it is only a few minutes until you escape the busy atmosphere. Brightly colored rows of houses probably were painted that way to help people forget about the nagging gray days. In the early twilight, the last pieces of sun crash over the cityscape and the rays ( Read more... )

Tommorow morning, I'm flying into Munich. I don't know how many of you knew I was going to Europe, some of you did for sure though. I didn't tell many people because of the fact that I was never really sure myself if it was going to work out, I had so many problems with getting my passport and everything together. However, everything looks to be in ( Read more... )

I got hit by a car while I was riding my bike this afternoon. A fellow about 25 or 30 was pulling out of the Jesse Duplantis Mega-Church (Jesus Christ, Inc.) on Ormond Blvd and didn't bother to look right in front of him for potential pedestryians or, in my case, bicyclists.

I really am sick of always having $5.00 in library fines. Especially when the fee is only 2 cents a day.

I stop and watch the cars going by on the windy road beneath me with all the souls and the lives I'll never touch and stories I won't know. The way that riding your ( Read more... )

True to my mother's predictions, the storm none of us were even talking about when it first entered the Gulf really did turn out to be the one that hit us hard. It seems like this storm really came out of nowhere, but it will be a while before any of us forget it now. Thanks to a last minute jut to the east, my house and really the rest of my ( Read more... )

Today was the kind of day I like in New Orleans. It was hot earlier on, but then the rain began to come down in the afternoon. Everything got real cool and damp, and I sat out on my porch drinking coffee in the wicker rocking chair and listening to the rain fall on the roof. I really love how everything stays so green in the summer here. On the ( Read more... )

Anthony and I took a drive to UNO the other day so I could return a library book, and while we were there we decided to pay a visit to Privateer Place to see if we could see our room or something. When we got there, we found that Anthony had accidentally marked an effeciency unit as his second choice, and a two-bedroom apartment as his third choice ( Read more... )
