Decisions & Revisions

About Me

OK - I loved Miami, the weather, the weather and of course my friends.... but eventually...the insanely fantastic weather made me miss home, and I longed for the cold... so after being spoiled in Miami, I decided to head for the cold - and have arrived in NY.It is cold - and I have been told that no - it is in fact warm - despite hats and scarves in abundance..... I think there may be colder in store.... :-(My florida number is staying alive until prob end Jan 07, from then on it will be the NY number.

My Interests

Beer - don't laugh... there's a lot out there.... Belgium has a beer for ever day - and then some - lagers / stouts / cherry beer (not good) / pilsners....Surfing... but Miami is soooo flat... (but the water is warm)Reading - see my "I don't have a Tv section!"Navel gazing... sleeping... I like sleep.... :-)

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for people who're chilled and mellow, have an idea about what's going on in the world at large, not totally focused on material things and have a decent sense of humour - decent means good in the Irish way of things (indecent humour can also be funny ;-0 )If you surf and are looking for some surfing company - let me know - I'm an Irish surfer - of the weekend variety, is there any surf around NY?

Music:

Launcast.com!!!! - You hear music you like, and every now and then it throws you a gem......You can listen to it at launchcast.com - lagref1973So what's on it...... Massive Attack, Portishead, Emiliana Torrini, U2, Crowded House, Terry Hall, Tindersticks, Eminem, The Smiths, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, The Verve, Lloyd Cole, Nina Simone, Norah Jones, Coldplay, Radiohead, REMQuite a few genres in there..... diversity and all that :-) Why limit yourself to one style of music?

Movies:

It's old.... "Raising Arizona".... fantastic movie... Anything that makes me laugh is good.Classic thrillers - "The Hunt for Red October",Even westerns - "The Outlaw Josie Wales" - Purely for the line "Crows gotta eat, same as worms" as Clint Eastwood abandons his dead outlaw buddy.There's been a few good Irish movie - as distinct from Oirish movies (Far and Away" being a vomit inducing example)."My Left Foot", "In the Name of the Father"..... hmmm..... I suppose Ireland is a small country.... I've run out of ideas..... :-)

Television:

OK - I know this is tough..... but I don't have a TV.... Still there? I have no probs with TVs... I just never got around to getting one when I moved to Miami and I can't say I miss it now.... I read more books, take more exercise & don't have to watch Fox news........ As a non-voter in this country, I don't think I can be called a democrat or a republican, but I know I think Fox news is about as unbiased as a mother describing her son. (I'm not a republican then!) ;-) So, I'm not anti-TV..... I just don't have one & currently quite like not having one!

Books:

"The Plague Dogs / Richard Adams" - I have no idea how many times I've read this book. I've travelled with it for years.... I'm not even sure why I like it so much...it's about two runaway dogs & their view of the world through dog's eyes....by the guy who wrote Watership Down - but this is darker.More recently.... The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Simarillion (airport buy - limited choice), Who Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls - I didn't manage to finish that one... yet... A Brief History of (Nearly Everything)/Bill Bryson, currently Birds Without Wings..The Moral Animal/Richard Dawkins- everyone should read this book, as long as you're not a bible thumping creationist, it has an interesting message. The Broker / John Grisham - fun quick read.
