randomness in the dub dub

12/6/2009

this little excursion turned out to be the best thing

that ever happened to me. it was amazing. saw castles.

dominated. saw sheep. dominated. saw cows. dominated.

saw greeen pastures. everything was completely green.

it was crazy. so beautiful. and the coastal

cliffs...AWESOME! I can't even explain it. one of the

most amazing places ive ever seen. and UNCLE PATSY

attribued to that...he was our driver and he was great.

very interesting and knowledgable, except that his

irish accent was sooooo thick that we really couldnt

even understand his english. isn't that crazy? he even

took us to this little fish and chips place in a little

town neare where he lived, and then brought us to his

house to be slaughtered for dinner. :) not really...but

he did make us tea and play his instruments for us. i

got to wale on his drums like a retard for a bit...and

he also showed us how to make a chip butty, which is

basically just bread and butter wrapped around some

french fries, aka chips. money! uncle patsy really came

out of his shell for a little bit. told us about his

massive family too. well, 5 kids, but that's kind of a

lot, and they are all badass at something apparently.

engineers, pro soccer players, presidents of mars, etc.

so after that we had to head to the dub dublin. grabbed

a bus and passed out. somehow it took three hours to

get there instead of two. by the time we got there and

found our hotel we were exhausted. so we had a pizza

party in the hotel room. fun fun...watched the x-factor

like three times. so stupid. but this hotel was really

nice. the cheapest and best place we have stayed so

far. wierd. went to the guinness factory today and

christ church cathedral. the facto is great. free beers

as well. they brew so much beer there its insane.

dublin is a cool, dirty, ghetto city with a cool

downtown called temple bar. just small little roads of

cobble with lots of pubs everywhere. awesome. after the

factory, shane and amanda had to peace out. jess and i

still had some time there.................

utilized the sauna finally and then went for dinner.

picked the most expensive, un-pub-like place there was

in temple bar. why? i do not know. we were starving

though so who cares. then we pissed the waitress off

cause we ordered only enough food for one person

instead of two. hahahahah. thats right. it was actually

enough though. poo on her. jess left the next morning

for the states and i was left for another day to kick

it in dublin. cool but not cause i really needed to get

back to school to help my group. feel kinda bad about

it. plus the assistants hate our projects so they

aren't in the best mood and are getting upset when

people don't show up (like me). screw them. im in

ireland. ireland is the bomb. either way..a day in the

dub dub. explored the whole city by walking and saw

some cool buildings. a calatrava bridge as well and the

dublin castle.

my first though for my overnight stay was to just go to

the airport and sleep there. obviously a stupid idea.

instead i decided last minute to get another room at

the same hotel. of course, it had a stupid sauna in it

again. what the heck. why does every single room have a

sauna. why not just put one in the whole building?

anyways, went to a couple pubs down the street for the

rest of the night. cool place full of old men. just how

i like it! decided to stay and watch the manchester

united game. had some guinness (as everyone else was at

the bar). its crazy to see that...guiness guiness

guiness guiness....

then a band came on that played fifties americna

rockabilly. INTERESTING. am i in ireland or what?

america is everywhere! its nuts. just nuts.
