Reading is not an activity I do very often. In fact, I can possibly count the books which I have read in the past few years on all the digits on my body (that is less than 20 in case you are wondering). I tend to read books which appeal to my interests directly; ones which tick all the boxes which will stimulate my mind. These boxes to be ticked can include: radio, radio, radio, radio,comedy, radio, satire, radio, and sometimes television. This had meant the Ross O’Carroll-Kelly books have been my Twilight over the past number of years due to this lack of interest in literature. Why? It rips the piss out of the south side of the city, and as a northsider who secretly would rather live in another part of the city (as I am deeply unhappy with where I live), this makes me laugh. The fact is I know many people from over the years who could be casted as cameos rather than actors if they were ever to create a television version of the series. Read the rest of this entry »

Six months ago, a massive change in my little old life took place. I made the huge transition away from the dull, mundane and troublesome world of secondary school. It wasn’t as smooth a change which I had always wanted. The day of my Leaving Cert results was Wednesday 12th August 2009. I look this as an omen. A majority of good things in my life have happened on the 12th of a month; I was born on the 12th April, I was due to be born on the 12th May, I started working in M&S on the 12th June, and when I was younger I met Dick and Dom (off of the bungalow in the early noughties!) on the 12th March. So this to me meant that the 12th August was going to be a good day. However, with my expectations set so high, I couldn’t of helped but feel upset, nay, devastated when I opened the envelope and seen a majority of C2 grades. It was like trying to count a fistful of one cent coins in the hope you have a Euro, but you know in your heart you don’t. Read the rest of this entry »

My Store Manager insisted he got this photo printed and put on display!
This has been nothing but a surreal week in my world. It started off as normal really, with the usual mix of lectures, and not attending them, and dossing around college having a damn good time. The highlight would of had to be Wednesday night though, for numerous reasons.
The National Student Media Awards were held at the Mansion House on Wednesday evening, and as you may or may not of known, I was nominated for “Radio DJ of the Year”, which was a total thrill and honour for me to get! The feeling of being shortlisted was nothing but amazing; I seen it as one of the best seven student radio folk in this country. A few weeks later, the list of nominee’s were released, which put me then as one of the best five DJ’s in the country. Even better! Being nominated then lead onto to the fact I had to attend the award ceremony which as a total lover of getting all dolled up and having a night out in town, was a total bonus! I adore anything like that; mainly because it beats the idea of going to a local pub and drinking yourself to death, then wolfing down the traditional chipper or Chinese on the way home, depending on the mood of the evening.
