Happy Happy Joy Joy

It's been quite a while since I last wrote a proper entry. I was actually busy doing things last week. Strange, isn't it? First. I joined this website called couchsurfing.com. Check it out, its pretty cool. Basically, its a website that you set up a profile and you either request to stay on someones couch or they request to stay on yours. You don't have to say yes if someone asks you, you have the option to say no and its totally up to you. Hopefully if/when I travel to mainland Europe, I'll be requesting to stay with people. So I got this request from a chick from California. I read her profile and she seemed super cool plus she was a nurse and I totally wanted to pick her brain about that. So I agreed to let her surf my couch. Turns out she was one of the coolest people I've ever met. She was so sweet and fun and best of all she was nice enough to take me on her roadtrips along the west coast of Ireland. We drove down the roads along the west coast of Ireland through the Burren and onto the Dingle Peninsula. Some of the most beautiful sites I've seen in my life. It was so awesome. Mini water falls along the road, they too were awesome.




After my road trip along the west coast, we stopped in Limerick for the evening to meet with my friend Dave I'd met in Dublin. That was pretty cool because if you know me, then you know my favorite book is "Angela's Ashes" and my favorite writer is Frank McCourt. He's from Limerick. We went into the bar that the movie was filmed. I'm not a big fan of the movie and just for the record the book's always better. My camera battery died so I couldn't get a picture but on the door to the bathroom, for the men's room it says Frank and the ladies room says Angela. I thought that was pretty cool. So "stab city" wasn't so bad. Even if it is the murder capital of Ireland and I think Europe. Lol. So says Dave anyway.

After that we went back to Galway and did fuck all. My lovely couch surfer who we'll call Ms. X invited me to go to the Cliffs of Moher with her and I said yes of course. We were going to spend the night in Limerick with Dave and then go to the Cliffs the next day. We had so much in Limerick. Photographic evidence below. We got so drunk. Clearly I'm not as hardcore with the drinking as I used to be.






We certainly did have fun. So much fun we were all so hung over the next day. We made it to the Cliffs though. That was gorgeous! Its the most impressive touristy thing I've done so far.





I also went on a job interview last Thursday. It went well but who knows. I may be going home sooner or later becasue my aunt emailed me a proposition I may take her up on. But of course she wants me to come home ASAP for it. Not sure where I'll be for the entire summer now. Everything's up in the air. Maybe here in Galway, Maybe NYC and maybe Florida. Jesus I really am a fucking hobo. Shut up Sam! Where Oh where will hobo Jody end up next?
