The Bad Waitress


The BadWaitress



I asked for a spoon but she brought me a knife.
I asked for the bill and that changed my life
She brought me a horse which I then had to feed
And all of this cause she was messed up on weed.

I walked it home and up to my room
Left for some food saying "ill be back soon"
On my return I found horsey nowhere to be seen
And a mess on my bed that I had to clean.

To the restaurant I did return with a plan in my head
And revenge on my mind for my horse soiled bed
I asked for the waitress which had given me the beast
But was given a lion a stick and some meat.

To be continued...

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.

Life



Smash a couple of cans

Walk round to dans... Sit

Lark a little bit

Spark some shit... split

Double decker bus

Feet up no fuss ...drink

Lights bright, clothes tight

Tentative plan for fight... chill

Theres is no bad

Theres no need to be sad

Just be glad you aint dead and keep your head

Theres nothing you should never try

REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE... SOON

Jungle Mountain Biking


 Downhill Mountain biking in the Jungles of Guatamala with the ‘GLOWPUNK’ crew.


After the full day high altitude volcano climb the day before (see previous edition) there was only one man left standing from the ‘GLOWPUNK’ crew that still had energy to burn. Lieutenant Diarmaid Collins is as fit as the Irish military makes, and so was the perfect man for the day’s adrenaline filled adventures. We strapped a HD camera to my bike helmet with some duct tape that we got from a local Antiguan mechanic signed a legal disclaimer and jumped in the back of the pickup truck with our specialized off road mountain bikes and our local guide.

The pickup truck wound its way high into the volcanic jungles that surround the small town of Antigua, Guatamala.  We received waves and friendly salutations from locals all along the way. Our friendly driver stopped the truck at a small vista point high above what seemed like endless jungle. We dismounted, checked the camera and followed our guide along some simple trails to get used to the bikes.  When the guide was confident that we were comfortable on the bikes he cycled ahead of us as fast as he could pump his legs and  shouted over his shoulder. “Follow me,if you don’t fall off you aren’t cycling fast enough.”



Within seconds we were hurtling down the jungle tracks, dodging crevasses left by the recent heavy rains and roots revealed by temporary jungle streams. When you are moving at such speed your adrenaline begins to pump like crazy. You become super aware. Your mind is making calculations so fast so you don’t hit the tree or rock that nature has put in your way. I was feeling super alive and I was keeping up with our guide and Diarmaid.I relaxed for a split second and 'Bang!!!' I hit a rock.

Everything was instantly processed in slow motion. I remembered the legal disclaimer that I had signed just before we left base. I hit the ground hard and skidded towards the cliff edge. I thought about my epic holiday to date and the girl I had planned to meet for dinner that night. I was slowed by some jungle growth and managed to keep the camera that was strapped to my head from hitting the ground. The edge was close but I was still on 'Terra Firma.' I was alive, buzzing from fear and adrenaline and hungry for life.                              

       The cuts on my legs were more like good drinking stories than injuries. I pulled my bike from the dense jungle growth and made my way back to the track. There I met Diarmaid and our guide laughing.

       I guessed they had seen it all before and accepted my near death experience as part of the adventure, part of the sport. I noticed that they too had some scrapes and cuts from the day's adventures.
With a nod and some energetic pumping of legs our guide led the way again. Again he shouted his crazy mantra as he dissappeared into the jungle;  "If you don't fall off you aren't cycling fast enough."......
