well, it's been a minute. eight months to be exact. i am sorry to those who actually take a moment to look at this page that nothing has changed in so long. i have had a rather hectic time. here's the updates.

first and foremost.. my son was born 29th of March, 2006 at Midland Regional Hospital in Mullinger, Co. Westmeath. he is now four months old and his name is Torán Tadgh. i have not seen him since April however as i have had to be in america for work purposes. damn beaurocracy. hopefully i will be back in ireland in the fall; as being away from him is the hardest thing i've had to do full stop. i am attempting to get back into university. so we'll see.

i am now living in a place called Asheville, North Carolina. it is a hippie bohemian city in the mountains. i am working as a cook and playing a lot of music. it's terribly riveting. i do not have a phone or a computer or anything much really. i check my email at the library and as you can imagine it will definitely be a while before i am able to post anything new. however in recent days more and more opportunity's are popping up and i have been promoted at my job so hopefully things will start looking up.

as for other new things.. well.. nothing much to mention for now. a lot has happened.. but those are the major things and for now, i will leave it at that. hope to talk to you all soon.
