Well its been more than a while since I've been back here... (Jan 12, 2013)
I came back on here yesterday, you know have an old snoot around, back on h2g2. Kind of like going up to your attic just to poke through the old boxes and get a wee bit nostalgic. But Then i got paranoid. What if some future humanoid was trawling through the vast archaeological thrift store that is the internet and had stumbled across my little corner of h2g2. He would be very annoyed! What the hell happened to LeRue? So this update is partially for you future humanoid (futurenoid?).

I am back in Ireland after several years working a variety of over seas jobs. I was engaged but we then got around to looking up the definition of engaged:

en·gaged
/enˈgājd/
Adjective
i, Busy; occupied.
ii, (of a toilet) Already in use.

And neither seemed to suit us, so we ended thing amicably. I got the dog. She got the TV. I miss it sometimes, but I see it the odd weekend.

My life is very good though, don't get the wrong idea! My mother is doing the best she has doing in years. My friends and comrades are all doing exceptionally well, even the eternal messers and messer uppers. My younger brother graduated (And because we have the same name and went to the same university I got posted his calfskin for some reason. #panicedbrotherwhenallhisfriendsthatcouldn'tmakegraduationbecausetheyallwen'ttothesouthoffrancegottheirsinthepostbuthedidn't) and fell into a nice government job.

My own job, is interesting and rewarding if very high pressure at times. I also firmly believe that my employers would change everyone's screensaver to become active after ten seconds inactivity and it would just say 'Remember Your Confidentiality Agreement', except they don't because I think they worry it would take some of the effectiveness away from it since they already say it at the end of every single damn meeting and catch up.

I'm running less and reading more.

Oh I'm also now what my friend refers to as a 'beer w*nker'. I do bring some crap like a chocolate porter or a beer aged in old whiskey barrels to parties and demand that everyone tries it, and then gets personally offended when people don't like them.

So, that's kind of where I am. I might get back on here properly (I may have made similar claims before) I also might not. But in short. I'm doing good futurenoid, how about you?

p.s. I already once tried updating my journal and it didn't seem to work. This all at once annoyed and angered me and made me feel like a fossil who is not down with the kids.

More news etc. (Oct 6, 2009)
Peru is done, all at home are grand and Canada is getting cold. Its half 6 in the morning and jet lags a hoor! Went to a funeral at home. A good man, used to give me lemon drops when I was a childer going to school, and later sneak us looseys when we were a bit older. I'd say he bought me maybe my third or fourth pint when I was of age, after my father and uncle. A bloody good wake as well, I sang the parting glass. Although if he was there I don't think he would have been impressed. "Ah for christ sake lads, will you stop mawking and play something we can dance and drink to!" was practically his catchphrase at funerals. He seemed to go to about four a week!

Well that's all from me.

A by now bi yearly journal entry! (May 13, 2009)
Right well. I've got a new dog, his names Derek and he enjoys urinating on, near and in sports equipment. Canada was great, back in Ireland now, doing some work in the Dept of Foreign Affairs and going back over to Canada hopefully in September! Its all coming up daisies for me!
Ah, I'm now an uncle, and a coach. I've read a brief history of time and understood half of it. Recently I came up with a fantastic way to end strife in the middle east, while drunk, I scribbled it on some paper at home before I went to bed. I woke up the next morning and remembered that I'd had a great Idea, but not what it was, 'But,' I said to myself,'That is exactly why in my drunken brilliance I wrote it down last night!' I found the note alright, there was an image of what could have been anything from a whale to a sardine, for perspective was not in my mind last night, and a drawing of a chair. Above the chair was, "IT GOES HERE". The whole ensemble also smelled of baked beans. So there we go, a lasting peace down the drain.

Anyway, hope everyone is cool and its all gravy!

Peace and Chicken Grease,
LeRue.

After a shocking absence of... along time... I'm back. Why was I away...? Well its a combination of several things, the main one being diagnosed with a blood disorder, that was fun, and minor ones such as my dog dying... all I'm short is a broken pick-up and I'd have a honky tonk classic. So I'm back. For better or worse I'm here again for the immediate future.

This week (Nov 30, 2006)
this week is a shite one avid readers. Found out my Father has to head into hospital for an operation. It's very minor and he is The toughest man I have ever known. I've never seen him sick a day in his life. But still, it is an operation.

I'm having severe trouble in the whole GF front. General 8 month hurdle BS when her breathing starts to annoy me.

What else... lost €250, Got hit by a motorbike and I ordered a book over the Internet, it arrived soaking wet for some reason and illegible.

You know what, I told a lie. It wasn't a week, it was all in the last 10 days this happened.

Irish Sports(hurling) (Aug 22, 2004)
I'll start with the sport hurling. Which rough translates as "30 men standing around with wooden clubs (called hurlys or hurls depends on the area} trying to hit a small hard ball made of leather (a sliotar)and not really caring if they hit the ball or referee or teammates or spectators or the oposing players leg,arm,head,groi...hem..etc.
Its reputed to be the fastest field sport in the world (Imagine a small hard ball coming straight for your head at 30 to 45 kph).It has been mentioned in the life of the mythic irish heroe Cuculainn. when he was a boy he killed the fierce hound(Cu) of Culainn with a silotar. He promised culainn that he would be his hound to protect his land until he got a new dog. So he was the Cu of Culainn
I love this sport,and Cork better win the all-Ireland this year.I even play it but people give out about the brutality of rugby and american football.Come and watch an Inter-county match in Cork sometime.

But its my sport and I love it.
