Take me in your arms and i'll be yours forever

Whats with the lack of seatbelts in the taxis over here? Yeah i know you want to cram as many people as you can in the back seat but don't rip out the seat belt buckle and screw us safety concisous folk of our piece of mind!!!!

Anyway, i went to Kaduna there on saturday and saw my grandparents, they're fine. SO i'm pretty much good to go now. Cannot wait to come home. There's 2 months of summer left for me so i've alot of catching up to do. Also i want to get a tattoo but i need some ideas. Places to get it, what to get etc...the more the better really. Well i'm off again, might get a shawarma actually

RIP

At 12:00am GMT i was in the living room in the dark chatting with my sister and our cousin. At 01:15am we found out Michael Jackson had died. At 20:47pm i'm still finding it hard to believe that he's gone.

Ask my parents and they'll tell i was a michael SUPERfan when i was young, and thank God i'm able to say i saw him in concert. The man changed music-its influence on people, his fellow artists and the world. Its a shame what became of his life and reputation but his creative influence will endure and thats the most fitting tribute anyone can give him.



Michael Joe Jackson REST IN PEACE

Yellow Fever

I said it before and i'll say it again, WHY DO ALL THE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN I'M NOT AROUND! Seriously i'm going on a week long bender when i get back to make up for everything i've missed....who's with me?! Not much has happened in the last few days lets see... my dad got a new car, my sister's buying me a new phone tomorrow and i think the guy who washes our clothes is getting the sack pretty soon, but other than that nothing MAJOR. I'll let you know if anything worth while happens in the next few days.

I envy you

Those were the exact words my dad said to me two nights ago. Picture it right, its just the two of us at the dining table, my sister was out at church if i'm not mistaken. Anyway, i sat down to keep him company more than anything, i'm not the biggest fan of sitting a dining tables because it gives way to uncomfortable discussions and plastic pleasantries. So he's there eating away when he turns around and asks me about college etc. Then he turns around out of the blue and was like "you know i envy you. if i had half of what you have now when i was younger, i probably would have been worse than you are" Basically saying that my non chalant attitude towards academics and life in general doesnt rub him the right way and that i expect things to be handed to me without working hard for any of it-which is kind of true, but i wasnt going to give him the pleasure of knowing he was right. Then he flipped the conversation round to talk about my best friend scott. Know he's a very upstanding person, you know the type-accomplished, high up in his job, expects everything to be done HIS way etc etc. And my sister is exactly like him, in character at least...but to make it worse she's gotten real religious over the years. In a roundabout way, she skates for Jesus REAL HARD!

So yeah he was going on about how he heard scott has a, and i quote, "great influence over [my] life". Which is bullshit, because at the end of the day if someone asks me to do something, and unles's i want to do it, i won't do said thing. but in his eyes, if scott says jump i ask "how high?". He then went on to say that i seem to be more into alcohol and abusive substances than i let on and that i;m a different person at home than i am outside. He's one to talk, considering for as long as i've known him he's treated us his family differently than he'd treat other people...thats another days post ALL together so i'll shut up about that. But in relation to my 'abusive' nature i'll say this. I have no evil designs, i'm a well intentioned meaningful person. I'm young and i'm not particularly headstrong (though i can get pretty pissed). I'm a good person and nothing he can say can undo that!s. As usual he's based his assumptions on second hand information. So after going back and forth telling me the dangers of said abusive nature i zoned out, which is kind of sad becasue he said some really resonating things that i could have passed onto my children-you know in that "i remember when my dad used to say" way. So after going on and on like the diplomat that he is, he turned around and point blank called scott a scumbag! Then apologised ever so eloquently, but then repeated how he's scum and an evil influence and how i should disassociate myself from him seeing as if you show someone the company a man keeps, you can tell alot about his character. I'm really sorry for going on and on but ever since tuesday i've been really pissed off about this and i cant just let him have the last word! I've to go to the village he grew up in for a wedding this weekend, and its like a 2 hour drive down so i'll probably address him then-shame its just the two of us going, that'll make for an uncomfortable drive.

In other news, i'm out with my sisters ex boyfriend today. I forgot how nice he was, considering how i kind of hated him when he went out with my sister. I've this weird habit of being best friends with my sisters ex's ONLY when she's broken up with them. Anyway, i'm sittin in his office now and he's doing pretty well for himself for doing nothing...ah the joys of nepotism. Anywho, i'm off for now so i'll catch you later

Swooon

I'm crushing HARD for keri hilson! Ever since i saw her in The way i are i thought she was a babe, but her new video for "turning me on" is ridic. Youtube wont let me embed it so you'll have to do with this snapshot.

STALEmate

I'm having the weirdest day. I woke up to an empty house, and only half of the house has electricity. The fridge isn't working and neither is the microwave so i havent eaten anything today-not like thats a bad thing, i could stand to loose a bit of weight! But yeah all that crap isnt working and to top it off theres no power in my room either so my a/c isnt working. The electrician should be around later. I saw a lizard being run over yesterday, it made the funniest noise dying-it was like a party popper going off. but then its tail detacthed and went running over to me and my sister so we legged it into a taxi. I dunno if i said this earlier but if something as boring as that is the most exciting thing that happened in the past 4 days then somethings reeeeeeally wrong there. I'm more than likely coming home early, just like last time so hopefully i've only like 3 weeks left or something. so yeah there's a quick insight into my ever so boring life.

peace out

Johnny Just Come

Yay, the fan is blowing cold air finally, think thats only because its dark and its a bit cooler outside. Anyway who cares! I'm actually shocked how quick the internet is today, in saying that its still sluggish compared with what its like back in dublin but beggars cant be chosers right.

Yeah nothing much happened today, oh well except for my sister almost gettin killed on the motorway. Well ok i may be exaggerating a bit but this is what happened. Her car cut out randomly in the middle of a busy road- i know i said motorway but all roads seem to be motorways here with the speed some people are doing...plus pedestrians have no rights haha. Anyway yeah her car cut out and 2 guys had to push her to the side, and she keft the car there to go to work without one of those caution triangle things, came back and her car was gone. She isnt the brighest star at times, bless her. She hasnt told our dad about her little incident, so he'll have a nice surprise when he gets back from vienna. Thank god she didnt take his jeep...now that would have been hilarious. So yeah thats been the highlight of my dad. Oh yeah, i was meant to go for some shawma's with her ex boyfriend, because he's back here serving but she pretty much put a spanner in that one....CHEERS!!! I'm still bored senseless, so i'm hoping my dad has something planned for us because i'm over this stayinginwatchingthefreshprinceofbelair buzz. Right ok gotta go now the internet shop guy's telling me to piss off! Later

Feeling hot hot HOTT!

Ugh it just took 20 minutes for this page to load. I'm in an internet cafe and it took 20 minutes for this to load. Its so hot that an oscilating fan is blowing hot air in my face. And my parents wonder why i hate coming here. I gotta admit its much better than the last time i was here. My dad has a new house and my cousin is far far away so we wont have any problems this time out....for now! I think its like 35 degrees outside. Most people would be dying to be in 35 degree weather but i'm just DYING. I'm only here a week but i cannot wait to come home, think i'll have to come back early because i cant stick this til the end of july. Once i see my grandparents and a few aunts and uncles, and get my new phone i'm done. I just hope my parent wont do this again next summer!

I think TAC is on tonight and i'm not going, as per fucking usual =[ The next two better be good! So how's everyone doing?? Before i forget GOOD LUCK to anyone doing the big LC....dont be worried right because if i managed to get my ass into college i'm sure you'll all do swimmingly! Also, if someone could do me a HUGE favor. If you're in town and you see the newest issue of POP, could you pick one up for me and i'll pay you back when i'm home. When i was in amsterdam some guy decided to act like my dad and rushed me past a newsagent that had LOADS of mags i wanted-V, L'uomo Vogue and the likes. Yeah i know what a sap. I dont know when i'll have the patience to come back here but in case i dont, stay safe and enjoy your summer!

*Swooon*

Sayonara!

A normal, rational thinking human being would be asleep right about now. Me on the other hand, i'm still chucking things into my box. My flight leaves in 5 hours! I've one box filled with clothes, and another filled with food (i'm not taking ANY chances, because last time I was home i ate nothing but indomie noodles and i'm officially over them!) On a side note, i really couldnt be arsed going. Like really. The weather's picking up, i would have gotten a job in pizza hut,the nights out would have been epic, i would have made new friends, and for once i would've actually had a summer fling! My cousins better be on holidays or else i'm fuuuuucked!
