Stairway to what now?!

TNA recently announced that Rob Van Dam and Abyss would compete in a "Stairway To Janice" match.

I know now that "Janice" is Abyss's plank with nails in it but regardless I did have a go at making the poster for that week's episode of Impact based on my initial thoughts.

I may have taken it a tad too literal.


Anyway, TNA marketing division, call me!

Forget West Virginia, this is the best wrestling promotion in the WORLD!

[NOTE: Some Firefox users don't seem to be able to see the video below but just click "Read More.." and it'll appear. Apologies. d]

Behold, ladies and gentlemen, a video that will entertain everyone, be they wrestling fans or not:



If you watched the video, and I can only presume you have if you're reading this, you will understand what I meant in this post's title when I said Mountain State Wrestling is not just the best wrestling promotion in West Virginia, but the world.

I really want to be On The Road.

I recently finished reading Jack Kerouac's On The Road on the flight home Spain a few weeks ago. Ever since finishing it I've practically thought about nothing but road trips and travelling around with just a rucksack and an enthusiasm for the unknown.

A few days after I got home from Spain, I was to go to a good friend of mine's 21st birthday on Clare Island, off the west coast of Ireland. I was so excited. Myself, Jon and Conor set off on a Glen Coco Experience roadtrip from Dublin, with Jon driving. As I had only ever gone to Clare Island from Cavan before with Mum driving, we weren't too sure on which roads to take so of course we consulted the source of all knowledge, Google. Google told us which roads to take and how long it would take to get there. I was suspect of the 3.5 hours it told us it'd take to drive west across the country seeing as it takes that long to get from Cavan to Mayo. Regardless, I knew it would be closer to 3.5 hours (in the region of 5 I predicted) than to the few weeks it took Mr. Kerouac and Co. to get across the USA. This just reminded me of how depressingly small Ireland is.

Holy Nostalgic Email Batman!

I'm currently lying in bed with a horrible headache (Is that the Waaahmbulance I hear?) and deleting old emails from my hotmail inbox. After setting the sort option to dates in ascending order (I think) I found this email from one of my best friends Niamh that I'd forgotten existed (the email, not Niamh) and it made me smile so much. It's dated "08 September 2006 10:20:53" and this what Niamho had to say:

"ye so im really bored in ecdl right now so i thought i write a message to
people, and yous are the lucky people....... theres no point t dis msg....

Being 16 was so much fun and was one of the best times of my life.

I must pointed out that Niamh's spelling and grammar has improved. Somewhat. ;)

Chairman LMAO's Comedy Blah Blah presents "UCD Vs. Trinity"

On April 23rd, myself and a few friends organised a UCD vs. Trinity stand up "competition" at Chairman LMAO's Comedy Blah Blah (the club I run with Jon and Conor)

It was an absolutely fantastic night, and without a doubt my favourite gig that I've ever been a part of. We organised awards to add more fun to the night.

The comedians on the night were:

Scanger Rap

A good friend of mine and fellow comedian Shane Browne has uploaded a recording of his latest hilarious song onto YouTube.



After watching that, be sure to look up his fantastic other song, The Celtic Tiger Song.
