Nice post Sol! I think for men: If you're on here (the good ship CS) looking for romancin , you do need some sort of a pic just to get a biter or two conversation-wise, to start.
If you're just here for a natter on the blogs you certainly don't. Folks will generally respond to anyone with a nice humour and interesting posts.
Well if I've learned one thing on this blog, it's that tea and coffee are completely interchangeable. But for an extra great cuppa joe, I use stale beans for extra kick, maybe a lump of lard for texture, and a dollop of barista tears. Deliciousness.
It's the same executive class that run these companies anyway. eg. Michael Fingleton (the guy who brought down Irish Nationwide and largely contributed to the banking crisis ) was Chairman of Concern for years. They're all the one. - And that Paul Kelly guy was involved in an eerily similar controversy in the eighties, when his first charity CDS folded in a similar way to Console. So depressing. They get away with it.
Certainly it is very convenient when they suddenly suffered mental illess during the questioning process. They were certainly in good shape mental health-wise when they were buying designer clothes, houses, racehorses and sportscars on the Company credit card. Really disgusting.
@Gypsy - What an amazing coincidence. I swear I was watching that very clip this morning (after originally searching for when the Dude is ragging on the Eagles in the taxi). Yep that movie is a masterpiece (unless of course Map doesn't like it, then I hate it ;) By the way good stealth with the drones guys!! Hook me up with the link.
@Molly I'll split the difference and definitely concede that yep Irish ingredients are very high quality. (Irish beef, oysters and salmon sought throughout the world for example) and that's not talking about Irish alcoholic drinks which are clearly highly sought after.
I would say however that the Irish PALATE is definitely very bland, as it is in the British Isles generally and that's why we're not at the top table cuisine-wise IMHO
I don't know what's going on medically with this, but I literally can't stop yawning til I have at least 2 cups of coffee per day, no matter what time it is. It's almost like I'm silently screaming for someone to make me some. - Also though Ireland is definitely not a country known for it's good food, there are still loads of really really good coffee places here (in Dublin at least), which is great.
and just in case it got lost in the translation there Gypsy, I was winking at you. It couldn't have been less derivative. Super imaginative and adorable , like all your tales
Yeah I'll be fairly craggy by the time I'm your age at this rate. Is Keith Richards still alive? He's my canary down the mine, so I should be OK another while. Happy bday again.
@Game Oops you did mention that yes, which renders my advice kinda moot.
I'd say priority one then would be talking with your folks about the need for you to transition to doing everyday stuff with less of them there, around you all the time (you don't even have to mention you're crushing on anyone).
I'm sure they'll be very aware that you're a young man now, and like anyone , you need space, and I'd imagine they'd only love to help you. You should hash it out with your folks re: thinking of ways they could facilitate you living more independently, so far as is practicable given your condition. I'm sure you could explain things well as clearly you're a good communicator.
Re: the girl. Maybe your sister's hubby could go with you alone a few times. He'd understand I'll bet. - But re: dating, all's you need is a chat or two with her at first, and maybe you could be facebook friends for a start (as you're very comfortable in the online world as you say), just take it from there, and that takes geography out of the equation re getting to know her.
Wow that's interesting thank you Peednama, Daniela actually kindly directed me to his work in the poetry section but his profile and pics have been removed, so I'll never find out how much I look like the guy. Maybe I should change my pics so people can tell us apart. Thank you anyway.
Hey there, Oh my gosh everybody is asking me if I'm this Leon guy. Nope I'm not. I'd like to see this guys profile as it's so strange to be asked so much. What's his username I wonder as I'd like to search.?
Thanks Chameleon. Flowers for Algernon is on a list of clangers for me. (ie. books I really should have read by now).
I'll take a run at it though, as it certainly seems to have moved you, even though you acknowledge it was a hard read and yep it's often those difficult books that stay with you and shape you the most.
The definitive example of a book like that Elegsa (IMHO) is 'The Denial of Death' by Ernest Becker. Left me flattened for a week, but it's a consummate masterpiece (won him a posthumous pulitzer actually), but due to it's grim content, should not be touched by anyone.
It just popped into my head as you mentioned great writers who can 'dwell on depression and darkness' as you say , yet still find an audience.
