:: WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE GREEN PARTY!

So I did exactly what Bosco said and rocked the vote today. To be honest I told my mam that I wasn't going to vote and she marched me down to the polling station to make sure I did it.

When i parked the car the excitement just overwhelmed me. As we glided through the front door we were greeted by a bored looking Garda who was mumbled "in there". Now if you thought I was excited before we got in, that quickly changed to nervousness! Who would I vote for? Where was I? The interior design of this place is all wrong.

Anyway some old women handed me the sheet, with these lovelies on the left and right and I headed to the booth. This was when things went from bad to worse, I had decided to vote for Bertie, he seems like a nice guy, one of the lads, knows Westlife, sure you can't go wrong.

But when I looked at the sheet, he wasn't even on it! Now the only politicians that have approached me were Terrance Flannagan and Brody Sweeney (His mother is lovely) but then I saw that weren't on Bertie's team! What's that about!

AND THEN THE SPANNER WAS THROWN IN THE PROVERBIAL WORKS! THERE IS A GREEN PARTY! I am big on the environment but I assume I have been ignoring this party because they have weird looking candidates, I mean Terrance has his winning smile, and his baby kissing lips, Brody has his comical eyes and goofy mouth, you'd expect him to pull an penny from your ear, but the green party fella looks like he fell out of bed!

Anyway had i known there was a green party previous to when I voted I might have given them mine! Oh well and I didn't like Tommy Broughan's hair parting it's just not working for him.

And now the prizegiving: Best Tie Award goes to Brody for his gorgeous peacock coloured tie. Best Hair cut goes to Terrance Flanagan for having no greys. Best use of make up goes to Keith Redmond for great use of blue eye shadow and also for starring in the Sensodyne ads and finally Best Photo pose goes to the Sinn Fein candidate for his delightful "I need to pee" pose.

:: FULLFILLING MY LIFE GOALS! AN UPDATE!

Get Married
Well things are going well with Sofie so we'll just take it from there.

Read More
Whe i made the list I did start reding a book but I didn't finish it. But just yesterday I started reading a book i intended to finish a few months ago.

Take More Photo's
I was doing well with this one when I was taking my daily photo's but I just kept ending up with boring ones, I blame my crap camera to be honest.

Make Lots Of Money
I am currently working on this one, and I have two really good idea's, it;s just a case of getting my finger out of my hole and starting them.

Become A Yoga Instructor
Well I looked into this and apparently you need to have been practising yoga for the past 2 years to even start the course. So I rang a yoga class on monday but a 15 euro a pop it's all a bit expensive!

Become a Life Coach
The general vibe I got from people when I mentioned this one seemed to be that I was too young to give people advice!

Improve My Swedish
With a trip to sweden coming up in a couple of weeks I've restarted my Swedish learning, so all going well ill keep it up this time.

Become a TV Presenter
This one went very well, mostly because of where I work, one of our presenters was sick so I had to fill in for her. Conveniently I carry powder and hair gel for occasions just like that!

Go Busking
This one has been put on hold due to the fact that I don't have a guitar strap. I tried to play it standing up without one, but it just doesn't work. Plus I can't give it my all when im bent over trying to hold a guitar.

Gain Weight and Get Buff
This was going well but had a little dip and is now back on track! We went to play Tennis last night.

Enter The Eurovision Song Contest
This is happening... slowly...

Thats just some of the updates... HOORAH!

:: HAVEN'T I SEEN YOU BEFORE?

At the moment I'm going through a fase of re watching movies I loved as kid, which is a lot of fun I highly recommend it! At the moment Sofie and I are working our way through Uncle Buck, The Birdcage, Father of the Bride, The Princess Bride, and City Slickers.

A reoccurring theme which seems to be throughout all these films are the fact that most of the actor's haven't had great success since. Most Notably John Candy and the guy who plays Curly in City Slickers. But I have been doing my research and with my keen eye spotted that Robin Right Penn (married to Sean Penn) who plays "Buttercup" in The Princess Bride is also the same actor who plays "Jenny" in Forest Gump.


Also while watching City Slickers I noticed that Billy Crytal's wife is also yer wan who plays the president in Prison Break.

Watching back some of these movies also made realise that they are bit crap, but there must be something good about the if I watched them hundreds of times when I was a kid!

Oh and another was Hank Azaria who plays like most of the characters in The Simpsons. He was in The Birdcage with Robin Williams, I really recommend this movie it's frickin hilarious! Hank's best bits are walking with shoes and when he serves dinner!

Hoorah anyway that's my little walk down memory lane for today, i hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and maybe one you will also take the time to go and watch your favourite movies from when you were a kid... Indeed.

:: ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOU

So I am now embarking on a journey which will not doubt challenge my physical and mental being, over the coming months I'm going to try and fullfill as many of the above goals as possible.

As you can see one of those goals is to keep a photo journal, which will work hand in hand at keeping you up to date with just how these goals should hopefully come to fruition. As I can imagine you like I are looking forward to the naked walk in the woods.

Already I have started head first into my goals like a trojan horse in heat. I started reading again, here is a passage from the book I'm reading called "Toast":

"I liked the way Josh would let me sit and talk to him while he took a strip-wash in the outside toilet and changed back into his motorbike leathers. The way he would let me choose a biscuit- a Bourbon, a ginger nut, even a caramel wafer- from his lunch box and the way he never turned his back on me when he was drying himself with his frayed green-and-white-striped towel."

How strange...

Anyway I also looked into how to become a yoga instructor, and apparently you have take classes for like 3 years! So i better do that first. It's all about little steps.

Also my busking dreams were dashed when Ali who was all set to buy my guitar strap rang me and couldn't get through, so she didn't get it for me. Oh well. Next week.

In doing all these things at once, I think I have already accomplished one goal, which was to waste less time. HOORAH.

More tomorrow all the love.
