me


Irish, 28, living in México, born and raised in Ireland, love travel, could live under a rock and be happy, communication junkie, love socializing, always feel i should be doing something else, joined the army at 18 cause didn’t want to study after school, became a fireman, went to Africa with the UN, got a promotion to officer, trained for 15months of torture and then left once i finished... went to university to study arts (psychology and Spanish) did 2 years , applied for time off, got it, moved to México , used my money from the army to open some restaurants in México (cheap here) with my best friend. Here 3 years, going back to university sept 2012. love to make videos, and affect people(realizing a lot about myself of late) spend a lot of time writing comedy in my spare time.  Love to play with words and fight everyday to think of the outlandish and ridiculous. Enamored by languages and rythms and patterns. Play the drums and every other item that I can hit with my hands or a stick.
Don’t have a lot of money cause I use it for adventures and travel... love people who live full lives and those who don’t …but relate more to those who take action and affect change, believe that we are here for a short time and that we should try and fit in as many experiences as possible... love to ride motor bikes, miss my bike at home... want to rip a crowd apart with comedy this year that is my goal. hoping to go to San Francisco and start there, cause there is a good comedy scene... am generally happy... although like all people i have my bad days, but have found that the gym or a run and some sleep usually gets me 110% again. i treat people well and love to risk things. My family and extended family and cousins are lovely, 2 brothers 2 sisters, parents still live together and are a great example of how marriage can work, but i am not a big fan of marriage, because i think people feel restricted by marriage and it is an unnatural state :) but i guess someday i might settle down. i am healthy, and happy( but not sickeningly over happy) and want the whole world to live full lives and happy lives. I am happiest when i am risking something or being creative... I am not a big fan of material things, but i have realized that the options that money brings are invaluable. I have lived like a rat for many months, but have realized that when you are not thinking about lacking money all the time creativity flows (for me anyway) I am most unhappy when I find myself compromising who I am to curry favor with others (i like curry) especially girls.....this i only learned recently...i am slightly too empathetic and can absorb the bad emotions of others and feel bad with them for a while, but i know that now so i watch out :) all in all my life is nice and  have no intentions of slowing down...come from a culture where talking about yourself is taboo…. Trying to change that and realize potential… This blog is driven by a desire to come into contact with more people. J when you are open the world opens to you.
