I've played many a song in my time on the guitar so perhaps I should enthrall you with my knowledge of the mandolin, which I don't play all that often but I can string a few chords together and managed to play some interesting songs on it.
I've decided that I'm boarderline depressive at this stage so I'm going to try perk up my blog a bit. Now that I think about it, this song is probably not the best thing to be publishing with happiness in mind. Ah well, you love it regardless.
Someone told me today that there is no historical basis for the state of Palestine because it was part of Jordan before it came under British rule and that the Israelis had every right to settle there. There are some morons out there, there really are. That's like saying there was no historical state of Ireland - which by the way there wasn't as Ireland had been incorporated into what was becoming the UK (though formerly not until set up until 1707 and not including Ireland until 1801[officially]) long before 1648 and the Treaty of Westphalia which set up the modern state system. So by that logic the English had every right to settle our country with plantations and murder people. Well done sir, you have successfully managed to justify 700 years of oppression in Ireland and 63 years of oppression of the Palestinian people.
Been thinking about joining a gym lately, not that I particularly need to, I'm super buff as it is but all that surgery stuff has made me lose the guts of a stone so I could probably do with putting some muscle back on. If anyone knows any cheap gyms around pass on the details. Unfortunately I don't drive so it has to be in the Artane area or town OR along those bus routes.
Made up my mind to make a new start, going to California with an aching in my heart
