think globally, act locally
hello everybody. this is a temporary solution to a permanent problem... and i can't spell... but this is it for now so enjoy... or don't
she said she's feeling lonely and i say thats okay
she won't be coming back 'round here no way
t'was thanksgiving last night and many bottles of wine were consumed at the grand fiest hosted by saint mary's college. after the fiest everyone went to the student union bar and got piss drunk, or i should say even more pissed. i later retired to my dwelling and felt like crap this morning/afternoon.
now that the holiday season is upon us i am begining to think of snow, friends, and family and how there is a lack of them here. although its nice to have non-freezing tempertures, it would also be nice to have some snow instead of rain. but heck, what am i talking about, this is tropical weather to me... i haven't been hit with the home sickness bug yet but it is definetly appearent that it has got its grasps on the majority of the american students here. but i am looking forward to going home but i'm also looking forward to coming back here second semester. and hopefully i'll get the chance to visit some people on the study abroad program back in the states. on a side note, i am disapointed to hear that erin tuttle and katie hurtle have changed their minds and have decided not to stay the entire academic year at saint mary's college, however i wish them the best of luck in all that they do.

In Dublin's fair city
where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
she wheeled her wheel barow
through streets broad and narrow
crying 'cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!'
chorus:
alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
crying 'cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!'
now she was a fishmonger
and sure t'was no wonder
for so were her mother and father before
and they each wheeled their barrow
through streets broad and narrow
crying 'cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!'
-chorus
she died of a fever
and no one could save her
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
now her ghost wheels her barrow
through streets broad and narrow
crying 'cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!'
-chorus
that was my foolish attempt to take a piss at erin (she wrote "london is fun-don")... nevermind, i'm retarted. anyway, yes, dublin was the dog's bollocks. that one street with the... stores and... people... was cool. at the time is said, and i quote (myself) "this is like state street, just eight times better." and it was. the guinness tour was worth the trip alone. its a self guided tour and we may have broken the record for spending the most amount of time in the place, something like three and a half hours. thats probably not 'guinness book' worthy but we's all had a good time. oh yeah, that street i was talking about before is grafton street. that is also where i met molly malone (1) (2)....
i just realized that i still have 14 boxes of candy canes in my bedroom back in the states....
for those of you who haven't seen this yet check it out... the official ninja website. i spent a good part of my afternoon laughing my arse off in the computer lab getting funny looks from people while looking at this page and reading that ryan would rather get an std then have a child, and all that stuff about jesus on the 151 gilman blog.
also i've added greenpeace onto the long list of outside links. check it out if you can.
there has been a huge oil spill off the northwestern coast of spain. the pics are from the bbc online where you can also find the article... we should all do what we can to save what is left of this planet. the us gov't is a bunch of hippocrates when it comes to this and the city of london has started to encourage not littering by providing three public trash cans for every 1,000 people... its the shit... i mean, its shitty. so do what you can... but for now i gosta study...
