Fresh as a goat - Level 42 - Running In The Family - 1987 - TOTP

Some of my old tat idea's

Note the dove tat is the finished one with the back of the cross but I dont like the text anymore on it. Second one is Jesus carrying the cross which was taken from a drawing in the AMAZING "La Sagrada Familia" church in Barcelona when I visited it a few years back.

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

Be@rbricks - Good old Japan

Be@rbrick is a collectible toy designed and produced by MediCom Toy Incorporated. The name is derived from the fact that the figure is a cartoon-style representation of a bear.

While they may seem for kids in Japan they are mainly collected by adults and are collected in huge numbers like a lot of stuff in Japan is.

Instead of me saying more if you are interested check out more info here

Note: In Japan Pepsi recently gave away Be@rbricks with bottles of Pepso Nex (Pepsi Max). A total of 12 designs of Be@rbrick from the movies/tv shows of Warner Brothers. See below

Do I look the same.... hmmmm....

Have got told on a few occasions now I look like Ryan Gosling. Last night in the Baggot Inn I was approached by a lady who was with a large group of women on a night I guess you'd call it. She asked me "sorry for disturbing you but all of us want to know are you Ryan Gosling??"

I replied "no I wish I had his money but when you go back pretend I am" lol

This really brings me back

Little story about this game. A very sentimental one at that for me.

Many moons ago when the NES was has hot as a hot brick, I used to love looking at all the new games in Bamba Toymaster in the Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre. My mouth used to water at the idea of getting some of the games but alas the only time I got a game was either for my birthday or Christmas. Anyway one time my mum was doing the usual dragging me and my sisters around "Quinnsworth" and picking up a few Yellow Pack Pizza's no doubt (which were like the penis of Jesus himself or the urine of Mother Teresa they were so good. Hey whats better than cheap nice pizza?).

Anyway I remember asking if I could go up for a look and so we all went up. Now at the time I think games might have been like 20 pounds or something like that. On the NES games display they had this cool looking game with a price tag of 10 POUNDS !!!. I straight away done the "but mummmmmmmmmmmmmmm its ONLY 10 pounds...... its so cool.... look at the box....". She had none of it and we left and I left empty handed sulking all the way home I'm sure doing the usual kid thing.

Anyway not sure how long after that, days, weeks, not really sure but I was passing Toymaster with my day on a day out with him and I asked if I could go in for a look. The game was there and out of the blue my dad goes "do you want to get it". My little heart nearly exploded and I grabbed it, made him rush home and played it for hours on end. I remember I was so HAPPY and thought my dad was the shit.

On a side note I remember there was a level I could not get passed (as in the two videos below). Seems like everyone had the same problem. Was so odd as I always finished games. So odd to see it again after all this time and I remember it as if it was yesterday. CRAZY

The bitter pill to swallow part of this story is I remember selling the game a few months after, or maybe exchanged it with a mate. But I remember after doing it I felt so guilty and that stayed with me for so long. Even now I have a wave of guilt thinking about it. As it was one of the rare times me and my dad done something and looking back 10 pounds was a LOT of money to us back then. It was like I sold off the good memory, deed he done for me so out of the blue.

Anyway its a nice overall memory. One of my childhood so so long gone.

LMAO

Mad how a different spin on a song can make it seem so different

The Killers covering Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Very impressive !!!

Watch out for the lil' ones

and I did

While I am not a fan of rap music there is two exceptions to this, Kanye West and Eminem. I wont go into a big rant why but in short -

Eminem for his use of English, telling stories, rhyming and just overall clever with putting rhymes together that results in something funny (controversial or not). Forget all the silly "I'm going to murder my wife" or wear a Jason mask and wave around a chainsaw stuff, give credit where it's due and all that.... he's good at English.

Kanye West for his drive and confidence, wanting to be the best you can be at something and progressing out of a comfort zone if you will. His overall use of both verbal and visual art to tell a story and express himself.

Anyway the concert was amazing. Just the stage, visuals and they way it was put together to tell a story. Think "Close Encounters" - "The Abyss" & "Star Wars/Trek'ish" is the best way to explain the visual side to it.

I don't think I'll be to a concert like it again, and in one sense thats good. As if everyone took the time, effort, creationism and money like Kanye did to deliver that show, well it wouldn't seem so cool and different..... which it was.

Looking forward to Glowing in the Dark...

Let the games begin....

Connect 4. What a legend of a game. Videos to come shortly.

Hmmm, a Bear called Starbucks... well I never....

It's become a staple of many commuters' journey to work – a knockout cup of coffee. But for one forest tripper, the morning pick-me-up proved a little too much to bear.

Starbucks the grizzly bear was knocked off his feet when he sniffed a coffee mug left behind by a group of walkers.

The predator, whose species has the keenest sense of smell on Earth, was completely bowled over by the aroma.

Sunday Ironing.... hate it!!!

Day 4 of 5 - My new formula !!!

Was good, but not great

P.S.A

Just a quick note on the below post. There is a place in Dalkey called the 'Country Bake'. It is one of the very few remaining old fashioned/country-ish type deli's.

Everything in the place from the breads, soups, filled rolls and cakes is what I like to call "the proof that god exists"
