Writing, rugby, various Irish sports, reading. I'm a free-lance writer as a hobby. I've published lots of pieces on Irish history, sports, American Civil War, and some general rants and raves about life in the U.S.
My father again, Michael Collins, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, JFK, my grandfathers, George Armstrong Custer (what was he thinking?), John Glenn, John Wayne, Russell Crowe.Realistically, I'd just like to meet new people. I'm not looking to hook-up. I'd just like to exchange opinions with folks from different parts of the world. Did I mention - NO DRAMA!?People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may
seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because
your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you
were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
I like most Celtic music, celtic-punk, Paddy-Rock, classic rock, Ramones, Chieftains, Beatles, Van Morrison, Slade (Quiet Riot ripped off their music), Badfinger, Wendy O. Williams, Stray Cats, Pogues, Clash, and even some jazz. I also love the old stuff; 50's-60's; doo-wop, Mario Lanza, Dean Martin, Tom Jones, Sinatra, Tony Bennett, The Beatles, The Eagles, Chicago, Prince, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, The Cars, Def Leppard, Guns & Roses, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Earth Wind & Fire, Moody Blues, Billy Squier, David Bowie, Little River Band, ELO, Foreigner, Gwen Stefani, Van Halen (NOT Van Hagar), Montrose, Marvin Gaye, The Spinners, Teddy Pendergrass, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Bill Withers, I hate new rap with a passion. I'd rather have a screwdriver jammed in my eye. There's a reason "rap" rhymes with "crap."
RED HEADED WOMAN (by Bruce Springsteen)
Well brunettes are fine man
And blondes are fun
But when it comes to getting the dirty job doneI'll take a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job doneWell listen up stud
Your life's been wasted
Til you've got down on your knees and tastedA red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job doneTight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got baby, waiting under there
Big green eyes that look like, son
They can see every cheap thing that you ever doneWell I don't care how many girls you've dated, man
But you ain't lived till you've had your tires rotatedBy a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a read headed woman
To get a dirty job done.

I watch a lot of the History Channel, but I'm also fond of The Simpsons, My Name is Earl, House, Family Guy, South Park, and Seinfeld re-runs. The Office is pretty funny as well. Oh, and any John Wayne movie. Bonus points if it has Maureen O'Hara in the movie."Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aid Kato, and their rolling arsenal the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his duel identity known only to his secretary and the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."

Well, of course, there are the two books I've written:1) "Ireland: Too long a Sacrifice" 2) "Cross Check! Barney Holden & The Birth of Professional Hockey in North America."The second book is available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Powells, etc.. Still working on the first book. Other than that, I enjoy reading non-fiction, especially American and Irish history.border="0" width="160" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /"About, about, in reel and rout The death-fires danced at night; The water, like a witch's oils, Burnt green, and blue, and white."- Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1798) "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.#########�
