A little update. Pictures will follow.

I moved from Ranelagh down to Sandyford. So not that central anymore but still got the LUAS very close by for nights out. But the new was just wonderful. Ok i no longer live by myself which is kind of a double edged sword.
It's no longer as boring as living just by myself but then there are always people around even if you don't want them to. But i know my flatmate for about 4-5 months know and he's just as sick and retarded as i am so we had a lot of fun the last 4 weeks and no trouble at all in the new place. But the place itself is wonderful. Beacon South Quarter rocks. Ok it's a little bit more expensive but compared to rent in Eire in general it's not that much more but you get a very very posh place with Italian marble floor heated batchrooms, 24/7 Concierge Service and a lot more. I'll post some pictures until end of the week. It almost feels just about the same as an upgraded Vegas Suite (Luxor - South Tower upgraded Room to be more precise).

I just spend 10 days back in good ol Germany and it was great and a pain in the ass as well. I KNOW why i left that country. The reasons become more and more apparent and if it wasn't for my daughter or my friends i probably wouldn't look back. But it all started on the 2nd of august when i came back to my old home ( i still keep an apartment in Hamburg) and realized the following:

- My Rent just got raised 10%
- My Fridge was fried for whatever reason
- My Computer was fried for the very same reasons
- The mother of my daughter "lost" her note on when i will be over and already had plans with my daughter on 2 of the days i planned on seeing her. Stripping me of most of the time available to her and one of the reasons for being here

After those news i was about to jump into the next plane back and forget about everything. But as i planned to spend 6 days in Brokeloh near Hannover on a Fantasy LARP (More or less improvised theatre and Pictures will follow as i get them) i decided to stay in Hamburg even though i would only be able to only spend a single day with my Daughter (at least i will be over for my b-day this month, her first day of school next month and her birthday next month, so another 3 visits to Germany i'm not too keen on going to).
At least the LARP Convention turned out to be a lot of craic. So much happened that i wouldnt even know where to start but it was one of those weeks where you feel fully alive. I wish there where more Irish Larps so i wouldnt have to fly back to Germany every time. But as for the one i just went to: It is THE biggest in all of Europe (dunno bout the yankees but theirs usually suck anyway) with over 5.000 people this year it was just astonishing. Unbelievable sights and experiences. Wouldn't wanna miss it.

So yeah actually a lot has happened but i'm really bad at keeping a blog and the promised pictures will takes weeks instead of a few days but thats me

don't know what to write.... don't know what to think.... don't know what to do... don't know if i feel bad or i should just ignore it...

I just found out that the single-most important person in my life besides my daughter has been lying to me for over 3 years and she didn't even tell me herself. i had to find out myself through the internet. Sometimes technology really sucks...

At least i'll be leaving for Germany tomorrow, then i'll have 5 straight days of pubs not closing at 1 in the morning... a lot more time to drink for all the wrong reasons...

Just helped out a friend with a flyer. I think these chinese kanji's didn't turn out too bad actually.

still kept the 3k x 3k Pixel originals, but those are a tad too much to post

ps: this is one of the originals it was based on

Now that happens if you're bored at work.... or are trying to come up with an excuse not to go to the bin

Slowly getting there.

I think it will take some time to get to know the good places in Dublin. Most of the places i walked by just
play the same crappy music. It's kinda sad for a town this size. But who cares there's gotta be some good
places. The sheer amount of metal/goth shops wouldn't predict otherwise.

Anyway, Friday i've been out with the ppl of my company. It's a nice and really weird crowd but i guess
that's needed in this kind of job. We went for the Baggott Inn which is a nice place. A real plus and at the
same time a real downside is: Your tables feature your very own draft of Guinness or Carlsberg.
I didn't drink in quite a while, put having a draft right in front of you just seemed so much easier than
trying to fetch a waiter to get you a coke.
And then the real downside of Ireland came again. Closing Time WAY TOO EARLY!!
I mean come on... 1 O'Clock that's just ridiculous! But gladly that doesn't count for the Casino.
So together with 3 of my work mates we found our way to the Sporting Emporium of Dublin.
But let me tell you a bit of advice. NEVER GO TO A CASINO DRUNK
Ok i didn't loose money actually i made a small fortune, but it could have easily gone the other way.
Poker requires a high level of concentration and a clear thought process. Which aren't given after 10 Pints
and some shots. Well at least for a while. The whole situation of ending up at a table thats usually way
above my limits cleared my head up really fast. So i didn't leave there till 6am which is way more like my
time to head home.
Saturday went a little bit more slow having been disturbed like every 3 hours of my sleep. I wish i could have been so sound asleep as i used to be. There could be WW III going on outside i would have slept right trough it.
Then i catched up with some of the series i'm watching.

Today i went to see a really nice place very close to the city center. In walking distance of most of the pubs and of course the Sporting Emporium I Really hope ill get that place so i can at least stay till 1 in the pubs. Cause right now i have to rely on a bus line where the last bus leaves like 11.20pm which sucks big time.
And Dun Laoghaire where i live right now already closes up after 8pm. It's so dead around here i often feel
like in a zombie movie but sadly miss all the action.
