So I had no real plan to post here again so soon. I suppose it's one part getting into my livejournal again (that almost nobody reads it anymore is both a plus and a negative) to one part knowing that I should be working on editing the second and writing the third episode of 'Make It' and feeling that writing anything at all is something ( Read more... )

My aunt died last week. 56 years old. Beyond tragic. Especially for my mum who has now buried three of her five siblings. What the fuck right? So another round of family get together and wondering why we only ever seem to bother when somebody dies. Another coffin shouldered and because I'm so much taller than the rest and there was only four of us ( Read more... )

The weather is excellent (by Irish standards for mid-April anyway). There's been good times aplenty with people old, peoples new and peoples rediscovered. I got a football at my feet for the first time in months. Accordingly I was pretty lousy but I still scored with two particularly satisfying long range efforts that clipped the underside of the ( Read more... )

I'm still feeling good. That surprises even me to a degree as there's been nothing much in the way of particularly strenuous or serious activity to aid this. As stupid as it may sound I think that primarily it's because I'm still working on getting back to the Dar of 2006 and I can feel it coming together. I feel better about myself and that's a ( Read more... )

The warm glow that I brought back from Connecticut has evaporated somewhat, appropriately enough as the weather has improved and spring has finally started to show itself. To continue with the tradition of forced imagery and what not that I trade in most of the time this also corresponds with a time of rebirth and new beginings in my life. Life ( Read more... )

It feels strange to be writing here again. Not bad I stress. Not great either but definitely on the positive side of things. Caitlin mentioned this livejournal when we met up there recently and it kinda brought it back to mind a little. I'm not sure why I came back but then again I'm not sure why I left either so whatever right ( Read more... )

Is this thing on?

Hi there. It's been a while right? It's been a long, long while actually. And in the two years plus that I've not updated this livejournal life has continued at pace. I was 29 years old five days ago. Some things in my life have changed almost beyond all recognition. By and large though... things are as they were ( Read more... )

So I was at a Jimmy Eat World gig and it was probably the most cathartic experience of my life. Anybody who's read this in any depth has probably noted the import that I attach to their own work in making a little more sense of my own life. When they played 'Dizzy' I actually did get a little teared up. In my defence one of the other lads there ( Read more... )

So yeah I'm still in my ball of suffocating feeling. It's more comfortable than it should be but I guess I still have a pretty convincing ass groove here. I think part of the reason for my current malaise has to do with the script I'm writing for one of my classes. 'Forget About Tomorrow' (formerly 'Would You Follow Me To Nowhere?') has forced me ( Read more... )

So it's been eleven weeks since I updated. Mucho apologies. I am not going to get into the time we missed out on. So you won't get to hear about me moving out on my own or about Jess' month in Ireland or any of the other lesser happenings in Dartime that have occured since last we spoke. I thought I was done with the livejournal to be honest. I ( Read more... )
