This quote always makes me laugh at the end of the movie. :)

Dreamy Days (by Dan Skajarowski)

It’s really sad that the conflict within the country has been going on for decades now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to stop. 

On Monday night riots took place in Belfast.

The UVF are being blamed for starting it. I just don’t understand why a peaceful agreement can’t be implemented there. It must be hard for the kids, growing up surrounded by adults who have set the example that violence is the answer to all problems. It’s just sad. 

Poor kids.

This deserves it’s own post.

Yes, I’m in Ireland.  Yes, I know that Guinness is a very famous beer.  I’ve also learned that it doesn’t “travel well,” so the Guinness in the U.S. isn’t as good as the Guinness in Ireland.

With all that said, I don’t like it.  I don’t like beer, period.  Guinness is not an exception.  I can’t tell you how many people have said to me, “You’ll be in Ireland?!  Have a Guinness for me!”  No.

I did try it.  I tasted it.  Twice.  It tastes like beer, which I don’t like, mixed with coffee, which I also don’t like.

To everyone who is now disappointed in me: I’m not sorry.

I feel like I’m going to fit right in. I’m sick of the assholes in America to be quite honest with you.
