This is what's been going on.

Oh I got that NCAD thing done, phew. After all that, I may not even get to do it as I got a call the other day from Schuh saying I've an interview for tomorrow, I didnt expect a call so soon as I only put in my C.V about two days before and I have zero previous retail experience. But anyway, It's a 3 weeks course and there's classes almost everyday I think, so I guess if I get the job I couldnt do both, I'd prefer the job anyway so fingers crossed for me, ay?

Nearly died on Saturday, well kind of, I'm just exaggerating. It was my Grandad's anniversary mass on Saturday night afterwards we were walking up to the local pub for some food. I've a really big family and we all kind of walked up in our own little groups, me and my cousin Sarah walked up with two of our younger cousins, Lucy and Katie. The mass was in Rialto Church and thats situated on a main road, if ya know it. It's all houses up that and road and people park their cars up along the road. The speed limit around there is fairly slow. Anyway, there was a car coming along and suddenly it just swerved into a parked car, which sent the parked car sliding further on the path where me and Sarah and the two girls were, we just threw the two of the younger ones behind us, I don't know how it didn't us. The car that was driving then Flipped 3 times and skidded further down the road and ended upside down. You couldn't see the 4 of us behind the car so everyone assumed we got hit, It was horrible to hear everyone screaming. Luckily we were alright, genuinely felt like my heart was in my throat. All the lads in my family then ran over to get the driver out of the car and turn it upright, turned out your man that was driving the car had no shoes on and was drinking, when I found out he had been drinking a part of me wanted him to be seriously injured, but I wouldn't wish that on his family. As everyone was on the road a number 17 bus sped through the carnage, not even slowing down, such an ignorant prick driving it, he then went up to the roundabout and came back around through everyone again I'm suprised he didn't cause another accident. My uncle got on the phone to Dublin Bus straight away to press charges, I found that hilarious. My family is crazy.

I also went to see Ironman 2 last night, I cannot put into words how excited I am for The Avengers in 2012. You're one slick bastard, Robert Downey Jr.

I swear on my tash, it's day'cent hash

My head is absolutely melted, I think it's because I haven't actually done any kind of work in so long. I've been put up for a scholarship for this NCAD course during summer and you have to submit 3 pieces of what you think are your best work. They don't have to be new but i can't find any stuff i've done before that I like enough to send in, so I've started from scratch. I've known for about a week now, and it's due in this Thursday, which is only one day away really considering it's half 10 at night now. I've almost finsihed one A2 size piece and then i'm going to either do one more A2 piece and then an A4 one, or I may just be completely lazy and do two A4 pieces, which is more than likely what I will do.
I'm always drawing in my notebook, but thats just for myself and I have no problem doing that, but when it comes to drawing or whatever for someone else it just kills my motivation. I never know why, but it just kills any work ethic I may of had. Even writing this blog just proves how much I'm putting it off. I bloody hate msyelf at times like this, I know i'll regret it if I don't put the work in and get it. SOMEONE INSPIRE ME. or at least wish me luck on getting this what seems like impossible task done.

Just because I get more women than you...

I keep having the weirdest dreams. I don't want them to stop though, as they're more interesting then what's actually going on in life, not that I have anything to complain about everythings going really well. I'm happy, but me, being me, I always find little things to get at me.

On Monday, myself and Paul were sitting in Starbucks on Dame street, and I was looking out the window, I noticed there was kettle with a plastic Magpie attatched to it sitting on a traffic cone thingy on the island in the middle of the street. Nobody really noticed it which annoyed me, as it was so strange and obvious. I turned to Paul and told him, we discussed what it was for ages as it baffled us. I told Paul to run across and have a look at it, and so he did, I sat there on my own in bits laughing as he was having a gander at it, he didn't touch it, what a girl. So he came back and we sat there for a while longer pondering the situation. We thought it may have been some NCAD thing, I was more inclined to thinking it was infact a cleverly disguised bomb. We sat laughing at people who noticed it, one girl picked it up, the mad bitch, I was snappin. I decided I wanted to have it, Paul told me I hadn't the nads to take it. So we decided to walk over and have a proper look anyway. It looked as if the magpie was made from tape, and the kettle was just riddled with limescale. Paul then started to cross the road, leaving me with the decision whether to leave the kettle or grab it and run? I took the kettle and ran like mad, I was half thinking there was sniper sitting up in a room somewhere waiting to kill the person who took it haha. Everyone seemed to be looking at me, well more so the kettle/magpie. We were in hysterics, I loved this.

This is kettle/Magpie.
