Talk Dirty To Me

Yeah, Talk Dirty To Me. Probably tied for the most popular song the glam rock band Poison has ever made. "Every Rose has it's Thorn" was terrible, but it was popular. Why am I singing Poison right now? Because today I downloaded "The Best of Poison." I honestly didn't even realize Poison was worthy of a, "Best of" cd. But, they have one. Today for whatever reason, I went from downloading a ton of Woodstock bootleg CD's featuring Hendrix, Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane...to downloading Poison, Whitesnake and Motley Crue. Why? I have no idea. But I was on a rock and roll kick and figured I'd cover the spectrum. Plus I'm getting my playlist ready for the summer, and it's nothing but classic rock. All types of classic rock. From the Beach Boys, to Poison, to Def Leppard, to Bob Dylan, to Steve Winwood, to the Traveling Willbury's, to Peter Gabriel. I got it all. Or most of it? I'm pumped to listen to it. But I can't yet, because it isn't summer, and anyone with a summer playlist knows the songs just don't sound the same until they are blaring out of the car speakers. So until then, sleep well summer classic rock playlist.

Okay, so, today was weird. First of all, my alarm never went off, and then all the sudden it was 11. I missed 2 classes. One I was planning on skipping at 9 anyway, but I had full intentions of going to my 11. Didn't happen. Then I realized, "Oh shit Matt, the heat is only on from 8-11am. Which means if you want a shower, the tail end of the hot water is gonna be gone." So I tried, and it was gone. So no shower this morning. It was raining out as I got ready. Not unusual here. But then it got much louder...it was hailing outside. Yeah, just hailing like crazy. Thunder, lightning, the whole 9 yards. And then 20 minutes later, sunny, completely dry, and warm. I walked out to go to my 1pm with a jacket on and had to return it to my room. Only in Ireland.

So I went to my 1am, and it was painfully boring today. After that I went to Subway and grabbed lunch with Jen. I haven't seen her in 2 weeks because she broke her foot walking in heels. But she's a Cardinals fan so I expect nothing less. Haha. Her Adam Wainwright jersey shirt made me want baseball so bad today. Can't wait for the boys of the summer. My Pirates are gonna turn heads this year, just wait. Yes, I am 100% serious.

This evening I finished up my papers, kinda. World War II paper completely done. Sources, everything. Music, I need to finish my comparisons, but that shouldn't take long. This evening after I finished my papers, I made a porkchop, again, drank some milk, went out for like an hour and then came back.

It's crazy here this week. It's rag week. It's basically a week long State Patty's Day. It's State Patty's Week basically. Students from all over Ireland come in, and it's just drinking all day and night, craziness. But people aren't destructive and idiots like in State College. They drink, get drunk, have a good time, sing songs. The worst they do is break beer bottles. No lamps or wooden furniture out of buildings. NO fighting at all. It's a good time. Every University in Ireland has a rag week. It's the most popular week of the school year. Teachers cancel class, there are no expectations. It's great.

But I'm gonna miss it...

Because tonight I guess, since it's 2am here, I am leaving for Denmark! Yes, I will be spending 10 lovely days in Denmark visiting my friend Pernille! I am taking the last bus out of Limerick at 8:30pm tomorrow, and then arriving at Dublin airport at around 3am. Then I sit in the airport until my plane starts boarding at around 10am. So 7 hours in the airport chilling. Not like people haven't done that before, so I'm not gonna worry or stress about it. Then my plane leaves at 10:50, and I land in Denmark at like 2 their time. Then I have to wait until like 3:30 to catch the train out to Viborg where Pernille lives. I'll arrive there at like 7:30, and thus my week in Denmark begins. My carry on is stuffed to capacity, so anything I buy there, if I do, I may just have to ship back. But I'm excited for the trip. Everyone goes to Copenhagen, but I'll get to see the real Denmark. Vikings tombs, and the coast, and the heartland. I'm pumped. I'm just going to have a relaxing and fun time. Nothing to stress or worry about with papers out of the way. Sure I'm missing class but who cares. Every American has been skipping like crazy by now. I never see friends anymore because either I don't go to a class, or they don't. Haha.

Hmmm anything else? Oh, freaking Ronnie Brown got a DUI. Yes, Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown. The nicest guy ever. I've read stories, heard interviews, he's a shy and very kind dude. And then he gets a DUI! The papers have been saying he is distraught about it. I can see this affecting his season positively though. He's gonna be so beat up because he likes to set a good example and be a good role model, that he's gonna have to tear it up on the field so people don't hate him. Boom, Superbowl.

Also, Emily's parents bought two Kayaks. So I'm pumped to get home and hit the lakes with her for the brief amount of time I'm home this summer. And now, that has peaked my interest, and I'm gonna buy one when I get to San Antonio. It's like the kayaking Capital of the South. Obviously Colorado has the best rivers in the country, but Texas has the Rio Grande which is apparently awesome to Kayak. So it's goin down!

And that's it.

You're love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is just what I need. Haha, Bon Jovi.
