Ah Fall,
I really love this time in New England, really love it. I am always so forward thinking and pro-active in the fall; cooking, thinking and friendly.
My personal life is pretty great, there are always people around if i wish them to be. Here in providence its like a stranded little happy family. My only complaint is that everyone knows too much about each other. Looking back I think that is how it...

Rhode Island at first glance
were there three gun shots tonight?
I need to learn how to really punch someone in the face, I mean, I have the general idea down but I want to really learn how to break a nose with one good swoop! I dont see at what point in our lives did we decide that it was OK to just say obnoxious things to people we don’t know - I am speaking to mostly the male gender right now. Go fuck yourselfs. I...

Home again, Home again,
my credit card bill is stupid.
i want to sign on for another year with americorp and work in RI, i really really do, i just dont know if i can honestly afford it. I miss home, but i miss it enough to just like coming back for visits.
I was in Fitchburg yesterday where i worked out of the studio in FATV to get footage of this United Way event that I filmed. It was so nice working on the footage...

First Snow in NH
Today is a great day, its the first day of fresh snow!
I’m so excited to go out and play in the powder - it makes everything so much more elegant and clean.
The office just declared a 3 o’clock snowball fight which I am super looking forward to, a little worried about how my performance is going to be.
Ive started a routine. I remember Noah talking about routines and how much...

“barely made it through work.”
– nicvancrazy
blah
food poisioning, 16 bedroom hostel, community bathroom. havent put anything IN my body for 24 hours.
US bound soon.
I feel very brave - like i could take on the world! and i want to. I feel that the general perseption of Americans is loud and obnoxious, learning how NOT to be that person.
learned about peace and conflict resolution a - my work starts back in the US! Coming home soon which is good because I miss all my friends, but mostly my bed and an income.
Going Hiking in the moutains this weekend!
borrowed time

Police cars get rocked with giant rocks. Making lots of freinds and will be headed back to the US in a pretty soon bit i think.

The boys that I am moving in with that work americorp are looking at apts back in NH.

blarney not baloney.
I know I know I said I wasn’t going to do it. but i caved and kissed the blarney stone. it was amazing and probably a bad idea hygienically speaking but whatever. I called my grandma from the castle and she told me that it was one of her life’s dreams that she would get to and she knows she wont, so i had to. I actually climbed all the way to the top of the tower to see it and walked by it than...
hostel living
I think that I might have a separation issue. I didnt want to leave all my new friends to go up north. I met some really great people in Killarny and we all got really close fast. We are friends on facebook and they have plans to come to NY sometime soon so thats cool (no one says cool - its an american thing, and they laugh at me when i say it). Tom the guy who works the Hostel I stayed in is...
bike riding.
yesterday we biked from killarny through the gap of dunloe back into killarny. The roads were so dangerous before you got onto the paths - it was about 15 miles on a road big enough for one car and it was on the side of a mountain with pieces of mirrors and car parts on the ground where they had hugged the curves too close. we were on those curves and scared shitless whenever we got passed.
the...
Doonagore in Doolin Ireland and onto Killarny
nicest people ever! and I’m related. I felt weird because I just kept starring at them thinking about how weird that concept is. They live on a 5-generation farm house on the edge of a mountain over looking the ocean. Mary gave us the biggest room in the house! It was such luxury after staying in the hostels - which I realize I am going to be staying in for sometime still now. It was a surreal...
Doing it the GalWAY
Galway: hippy, trendy, Fishy, delicious, drinks! drinks! drinks! clubs! the fashion here is very new - I don’t fit in at all considering I’m living out of my back pack, or i fit in more than I know because I’m living out of my back pack - but I love it! Went to a club that I was told about by a local guy called Rosen Dubh (black rose) where there was an awesome DJ accompanied by a drummer and a...
jet jiggity lag
Landed in Dublin Tuesday morning 9am - which would be around 4am NY time. In an effort to try and fight off jet lag we drank lots of Tea in our ‘budget accommodation’ room and than went for a walk to the Guinness factory. We had 1 Guinness, strolled around, found a bight to eat and than couldn’t stay up any longer so we went to bed at 6pm. Needless to say we were sitting up with the...

Game Plan for depature.
My backpack that is the size of a large kindergartner (and weighs the same too) is packed and ready. My mom is cooking a ham dinner and 20 of my favorite family members are headed to my house to eat it. During which time I plan to eat dinner & too much candy, play a game and than fall asleep with grandma until everyone leaves. I than plan to wake up (prob around 6/7pm) and pack my carry on...
Tom Hanley...O'Hanley...Sweeny
My fathers cousin, Tom Hanley, sent me an email today with the entire family tree. He is by trade a geneologist so when i say entire family tree, I mean ENTIRE family tree. He got wind that I was headed to Ireland and has now recruited me to do some poking around. Seeing as my family on my dad’s is as irish as irish can be with names like Elizabeth Mary O’Hanley and Mr. Patrick Sweeny...
