- The Boston Celtics are my new NBA Eastcoast fav, joining the Grizzlies (I will follow Darko everywhere he goes, next stop, Panathinaikos probably) Celtics are now the Jesus, Mary and Joseph show. (sorry, but I have to compliment myself on my pop allegorical genius. if you dont get it, kamang! This is my sense of wit at its peak. It hardly ever gets any better... seriously. I guess ill provide the secret decoder ring later... but its never cool to explain your own brilliance and savy )
- I promise I wont mention that's its almost been two months since I posted. Since then Ive been to Bosnia & Herzigovina. War torn but still, Very Cool (notice the capitals? thats for emphasis). Funny enough, B & H, those are my nicknames for my left and right feet. When Im kicking ass.
- A week before that Didi visited me in Ireland, the first person from my family to visit. And luckily, it didnt rain. Much. I dont get it though why not that many people have visited me. None of my friends from England has even visited me, like. To the two or three people still reading this blog, I PROMISE I would visit anyone that lived anywhere near cool. Yet, except for a small handful, not many friend have seemed to reciprocate. This leads me to believe then, people dont like visiting cool places. If I ever move to the Bahamas, y'all are not invited.
- Youll never walk alone. Out of my developed fondness for the Premiership over the years... I havent really talked much about Football/ Soccer since the Champions League final almost 2 years ago. So I thought Id post my ranking of teams in terms of my support in decending order. The rules and logic behind the list: if I were to watch a random "match" on some variable "football pitch", I will always support and cheer for the team ranked higher on this list. Here we go:
1. Liverpool 2. Tottenham 3. Sunderland 4. Chelsea 5. Arsenal 6. Newcastle 7 to 19... Dont give a shit either way. Number infinity. Manchester United.
And for shits n giggles... heres the same for the NHL.
1. Vancouver ( duh ). 2. Edmonton. Number Infinity. Toronto MapleLaughs..
MLB.
1. Toronto Bluejays. 2. Boston Red Sox. 3. Seattle Mariners. Number Infinity tie: Yankees and Giants.
NBA...
1. Vancouver Grizzlies. 2. Seattle Supersonics... oh wait both these teams dont exist anymore because the League could go suck the sweat from me hairy bullocks..
NFL...
1. BC Lions 2. San Francisco 49ers (Tecmo Bowl version)
- Going to Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos or Paros (Greece) next Month... and stopping in at Sorrento and Positano (Italy) along the way. This is one reason why I dont live in Vancouver right now.
- Finally since August is about to end, I can safely say the highlight of my month was last weekend. I dont think there is anything more delightful than watching a fairly sparse dance floor all of a sudden be stampeded and packed jammers by big women going crazy throwing shapes, the moment Mikas "Big Girl (You are Beautiful)" starts pumping the speaks. Unfuckingbeleivable.. Ill tell you what. All the big girls with the big booties, flapping about, going absolutely nuts and singing along, knowing all the words. It was great. Its like witnessing Dancing heaven in the seperate heavyweight section. I think the only way you could possibly get more enthusiam on a dance floor is when "You SPin Me Round (Like a Record)" starts playing in gay bars. Or anytime Wayne is in a club, and Backstreet comes on.
Okay onto some photos. Again click on pictures for biggie size versions.
My sister and I travelled the westcoast of Ireland. First was County Donegal and Slieve Leagues, the highest cliffs in Europe.
Below Westport, in County Mayo, one of my favorite towns in Ireland.
County Clare. Went back to Cliffs of Mohr but its changed tons since Marty and Eric came. Before you were allowed to go right to the edge of the Cliffs which was ridiculously dangerous but unbelievably sweet. Now? Not so much. They blocked it off and you cant go anymore. Anyone from now on is Ripped off.
They did build a new Teletubbie-esque Tourist center though.
Some pics from County Kerry. They call it the Kingdom. The Kingdom of No Langers. (Thats a dig at County Cork. Langer is a bad word from Cork. I know these things now. Ive been here too long)
And this was just last week, A hike up the Cooley Mountains, near Dundalk with people from ABB
Jesus Mary and Joseph, the biblical Holy Family.
Jesus -> Jesus Shuttleworth -> Ray Allen, double threat: movie star in Spike Lee's "He Got Game" and basketball Yahweh
Mary -> Mary Pierce, Tennis Player French Open Champ -> Paul Pierce, whines like a French girl
Joseph -> No ordinary Joe -> Kevin Garnett, phenom
