Why A Blog?

I went back and forth about whether or not to actually write a blog, trying to decide if it was cliche or not, and decided no, it is therapeutic for me and also who knows maybe my weird sense of humour might even cheer someone else up when they're having a shitty day! So whether you can relate or you just want a laugh feel free to browse and read....get to know me and maybe even get to know something about yourself along the way?!

Cheers to the freaking weekend....i drank to that...or not!

No 99. Give up alcohol for a month!


First things first, I'm Irish, and its no secret that we as a nation are fond of partaking in an alcoholic beverage or two to celebrate momentous occasions such as birthdays, weddings, wednesdays, the usual. However what will come as a shock is my decision to consciously remain sober for an entire month! Pretty selfless if i do say so myself. Think of all the apples and grapes and various other fruits that wont have to be murdered for my benefit. 

Tequila Sunrise...Amsterdam Style


Ok, Ok, so technically i didn't choose this month to go sober, it more happened upon me through the grace of God and also post-op recovery, but nonetheless it has infact been exactly a month since i last consumed an alcoholic beverage. I'm not denying that i could murder a tequila sunrise right about now, i'm merely saying that through will power and the fact that im not 100% upwardly mobile, that I, as an Irish citizen have gone a whole month without consuming alcohol. (Time to pop the Champagne?)

The downside to this amazing feat however is the realisation that apart from heading out and downing shots, there really isnt a whole lot to do in the vicinity, and lets all face it theres only so many nights you can watch re-runs on tv, Cue; nobody puts baby in the corner....Dude we get it, you love her no go on stage and dance so i can belt my little heart out with the closing song....NOW I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIIIIFFFEEEEE....

Ahem....anyway! The point i'm making is not that drinking rules of you have to drink to have fun because i genuinely don't believe that to be true, the point im making is when recovering from an operation make sure you convince all your friends not to drink too, or at least get them to hide their drinking from you! Dear Lord there is nothing worse than waking up fresh as a daisy on a sunday morning to snapchats of the night before where your best friend rand butt naked down a one way street and met the man of her dreams!

Peace Out
