Right About Now ---

--- the Funk Soul brutha.

It's been a while, fellow bloggers and bloggerettes. But here we are, my friends, so pull up a seat and gather around. We are about to begin ---

Well, whats been happening in my life? you may ask.

I'm glad you ask! Because, boy howdie, there's been a complete and utter reversal of things in my life. And I have to thank one person in particular, my girlfriend Becky. So, well, here we go- the two of us met in the Film and Tv class (yes, I gave up Journalism as it just wasn't my thing) and instantly we hit it off. Few months down the line, and a different story later, and we're going out. Fast forward to today and here we are, on our third month anniversary. Awh, isn't that so cute? Yes, I suppose it is somewhat. And I really do care about her a lot! In more ways than one :)

What else.. what else .. what else.. ?

Ah, yeah. My Film and Tv course. Well, now, it's excellent. Though unfortunately I don't fully agree with some of the people in the class. At this point, I should restate the fact that whats said in Blogsville .. Blogsland .. Bloggsilvania? stays there.

So yeah, they are not my cup of tea. Not entirely so. They're really annoying, in some respects. But, thats a different story! But moving on to something more interesting, I've made a short film. And came up with my own slightly cool name- DanKeat Productions. Nice, right? Yes. If I figure out how to burn it from a DVD I shall youtube it (odd how you can say that now).

Rightio- I best be off and do something non-blog related. Possibly dance. Yes. I'll dance a jig.

Cow-a-bung-a.

A Tidy Room, A Tidy Soul.

So I've spent the past hour tidying my room. And boy-howdie did it need one. You really couldn't see the floor anymore.. apparently it's carpeted. Hrm. That and I found my passport too, wahey.

This past summer has been one of self-discovery, happiness, and unfortunately, of saddness. I reached my lowest low and was astonished to see that people actually stuck by me. As incredible as it may be, they're still here for me. To them I am thankful. To them I owe my sanity.

I've been pretty out of it lately. People started to notice that something was off and they started to ask me questions. I had no answers, of course, as sometimes even I didn't know what was bringing me down. I was sad, and thats all I knew. Things got so bad I was pondering seeking professional help.

Even though I still am not fully.. sane .. I think I am getting better. I rarely feel as sad anymore. I've started to relax into my house finally. And things are going relatively well for me.

I have started a PLC course in Print Journalism, which I am enjoying so far.

As Bugsy Malone said, "You give a little love and it all comes back to you".

Enjoy, my friends, enjoy.

It's a fine and dandy day

I'm tired. Extremely tired. Was out last night for the first time in God knows how long. It was Chiara's birthday. All throughout the day I had my misgivings about going out; I haven't been the most sociable lately. But, thanks to Emmily making me realise that I'm just being stupid (repeated at least a dozen times) I went out.

I was working til about 10:30, so I went home, got changed and at around 11:30 I met up with Ben and Laura to walk with them to Chiara's house. Eventually we walked in to town and went to Cuba. I haven't been clubbing in a good 2 or so months. So I was very anxious about going. Stupid, I know. Yet because I have been feeling pretty sad lately, I was finding it hard to be around groups of people without being in a work enviroment. As pathetic as that may sound, that is how I felt.

So we got into Cuba and .. it was a good night. I really enjoyed myself. I was actually surprised at how much I did enjoy myself! I really wasn't expecting it. Moss came out last night too which was pretty cool.

And here's the kicker, the clincher, whichever; I'm happy. For the first time in at least a month I feel happy :) And its such an unbelievable feeling. Haleh-fucking-lujah!

Jesus H Christ ---

--- I've figured it out!

Before I continue, I would like to state the fact that with regards to my blog, the rule stays the same; anything discussed here by me cannot be said to anyone else, nor can it be discussed with me in person, only with prior agreement. Thanks.

Today has been a day of reflection for me. Lately I have been sad. Well, thats an understatement to say the least. I wont say that I was depressed, as that word has been tossed around a little too much by various people. So, earlier on whilst I was walking around town buying food, I came to the conclusion of how to begin to make myself feel happy again.

I came to this conclusion whilst I walked around and saw a few people I knew from before.. from my previous life I suppose you can say. These were people I worked with, people I went to school with, or just people I knew anyways. And I began to realise that this is what I am missing. I need to try and bridge the gap between my previous life and the one in which I am living now.

To try to explain what I mean by previous life is this; I was basically thrown from a sheltered life in Barna into the world in the space of an evening 2 years ago (or therebouts). Ever since then I have felt a little.. odd and lost. I know some might argue that 2 years is a long time, and that I should be over it by now. And I would agree with you. If only for the fact that I am not yet over it. As stupid as it sounds, I just am not.

So to try and feel better, I need to get back in contact with those people that helped me feel better. I need to have some sort of balance in my life, as this is something in which I am lacking.

Wish me luck,

Danny.

Bebo killed the Blogger Star

So yeah, I guess Blogs are pretty much dead. Probably nobody will even bother to read this, but here we go anyways.. one more time Bloggers and Bloggerettes.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. Hasn't it? I can just imagine the sad nodding in agreement from anyone who might have been into Blogs like we were last year in college. To the blogmobile basically became our battlecry. And that somewhat proves just how big a nerd we all were. Owh well.. c'est la vie.. as the french say. Or whatever. I don't really care.. I just say, "fuckit", but them french want to sound all romantic and whatnot. So we'll give them that.

So, whats been happening in my life? Well.. I've dropped out of college. I may have mentioned that in a previous post but I'm not entirely sure to be honest. Sure, I guess I've been somewhat happier than I was during college, but there are still some things I haven't fully sorted out in my own head. And this has been bothering me somewhat. I can't place my finger on it exactly, but something has been making me feel somewhat down. And poor Sinead is the girl who.. well .. sees this. And to her I apologise. To her I owe alot. More than she knows, probably. Owh well.

Sometimes I wish things would come easier to me. That I would be able to sit down and go, "Hey! Thats what's wrong with me! Of course. How foolish of me. La de da. Twiddle-dee". But it isn't that easy, unfortunately. I wish there was a magic cure, like the clicking of a fingers and hey presto, you feel better. Yet I guess thats what makes life interesting. If you were happy all of the time, then this would just mean that life is boring. That being said, it would be nice if it was easier.

I'm sitting down in the sittingroom of my new house in Galway, and thinking just how much of an idiot I have been lately. I've been doing nothing but stupid things lately and .. I don't know. I wish I could make them go away. Make it so that they never happened. And wee! things would be slightly different. And I wouldn't have to feel this pang of guilt in my chest. And the subdued voice of shame in my head. Gah. It sucks sometimes. It really does. Owh well. Back to the french again; c'est la vie.

Maybe this will be my last blog, maybe this is the first of many, maybe the sky will rain gumdrops and lemondips. And maybe I'll cheer up soon. We'll see.
