just a dude!.DESPERADO by the eagles sums me up. Im kinda small for my age still, neither boy nor man and can sometimes escape under the censure under the law of pardon for children and fools lol. Im intrested in not accepting average habits and looking beyond obscurity. Birthing, living and dying are three equally religious subjects. Living only seems to be more import only because it's so visible. I've been broke, cold, hungry, lonely and bloody miserable at times but, somehow, I have always manged to see how relative everything is to well-being, to being well - all this besides being born and dragged up in this crazy city know as belfast. So me = good guy, tends to get lost sometimes, always on the back-foot so dont let the size fool ya, ex-tree-hugging weed-smoking lunatic. easy lol well my friends would vouch for me anyhoo. I was born catholic, but left that path, rather than say im a pagan of such, im more of a celtic reconstructionist, finding my own path through my blood-line and history in Erin........................................................ .......................................................... O dark haired woman, will you come with me to the marvellous land, full of music, where the hair is primrose-yellow and the body as white as snow?. There none speak of 'mine' or 'thine'- white are the teeth and black the brows; eyes flash with many coloured lights, and the hue of the foxglove is on every cheek. Pleasant to the eye are the plains of Erin, but they are a desert to the great plain. Heady is the ale of Erin, But the ale of the great plain is headier. It is one of the wonders of that land, that youth does not change to age. Smooth and sweet are the streams that flow through it, meat and wine abound of every kind; there men are all fair, without blemish; there women conceive without sin. We see around us on everyside, yet no man seeth us; the cloud of the sin of Adam hides us from their observation. O lady, if thou will come to my strong people, the purest of gold shall be on your head-thy meat shall be swine's flesh unsalted, new milk and mead shalt you drink with me there, O dark haired maid. ............................................................ ..........................................................Ma xims of an Ulsterman.1). rule strongly and wisely, and never bare a grudge against any, But freely forgive a man of all offences save disloyality to you. - If they prove faithful and valiant, you also will keep the faith in them.2). If armed service by they design, In a great man's household be quiet, Be surly in the narrow pass.3). Without a fault of his, beat not thy hound.4).until thou acertain her guilt, bring not a charge against thy wife.5). In battle meddle not with a buffoon, for he is but a fool.6). censure not any if he be of grave repute; stand not up to a brawl; have naught to do with a madman or a wicket one.7).Two-thrids or they gentleness be shown to women and those that creep on the floor(chilern) and to poets, and be not violent to the common people.8).Utter not swaggering speech, nor say thou wilt not yeild what is right; it is a shameful thing to speak too stiffly unless that it be feasible to carry out thy words.9).so long as thou live, thy lord forsake not; neither for gold nor for other reward in the world abondon one whom thou art pledged to protect.10). To a chief do not abuse his people, for that is no work for a man of gentle blood.11). be no tale-bearer, nor an utterer of false-hoods; be not talkative nor rashly censorious.12). Stir not up strive against thee, however good a man thou be.13).Be no freuenter of the drinking house nor iven carping at the old: meddle not with a man of mean estate.14). Force not thyself upon a chief, nor give him cause to speak ill of thee.15).stick to thy gear; hold fast to thy arms tell the stern fight with its weapon-glitter be ended.16).Be more apt o give than deny, and follow after gentleness.17). A man lives after his life, But not after his honour.18). A leader of men must decend into the lake of tears and know feebleness and despair before his spirit can sway them to great ends.
