Yesterday was Remembrance Day in the United States. It is a day to remember those that died fighting for the freedom of the U.S. people.

I'm not great on politics and can't spout out facts about this and that with regards to the U.S. history.

But I was looking at this. This is the remembrance chart. Apart from the fact that it's simply a list of numbers. These people are not numbers, not just another statistic, they are a father, son, brother, sister, mother, daughter and so on.

What strikes me, is these people died for the freedom of American people. Yet the most of them died elsewhere. Not protecting the U.S. soil, but on the other side of the world invading other soil, killing civilians and soldiers in other countries. Take Korea and Vietnam as an example of that. Sure, for some political reason they were/are protecting the U.S. but I don't get it.

And now, in Iraq, Thousands of soldiers have died "Liberating Iraq". Many more tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians have died in this time. How is killing more than 30,000 of the population of the country liberating it?

Right, I could possibly get slayed for this post. But these are just my opinions from a non-political person.

Here's a comparison. We had a war. It was around 1916. It was in our country, it was to get another country the fuck out! People died, and I can see that they died for our freedom, even though we still don't have all our country back.

Me and bitzi were organising to drive to rugby tomorrow night. For some reason it was in the style of 18th Century Jane Austin styley.

Firstly a pretty innocent one, with Dearest which seemed to spark bitzi back into the 18th Century.

Dearest Brian,

I will be driving to The game and home Tomorrow night. You need a lift?

Dearest friend,

It has been 4 months and 25 days since our last correspondance. I noted the days with trepidation waiting to hear that you had made it through the winter ok. The longer evenings that are now creeping in have brightened my dispositions and I write to you with high hopes of a good harvest come the fall. Mother and father are keeping well although they again found it a tough winter. Februray was a most frightful month the likes of which I have not felt since the winter our wee Jeannie passed away. I would be most pleased to travel with you to the honeyfair this coming spring. What hours are you intending on setting forth and where can I meet that would most convienence?

Yours in friendship,

Brian

I said I would try and play along. Role playing is something we do a lot. Mostly between the sheets!

Brian,

Once more, I eagerly awaited the postal boy each day he passed, hoping, wishing he would bring your words my way. It is truely a beautiful summer and the sweet roses Mamaah had planted early spring are now blossoming much like my feelings for a certain gentleman. I shall speak more of this on our meeting, but until then you will have only guesswork on your side.

I shall so dearly hope to be parting the fair Lodge at Half past the Six on the evening of morrow, making the long trek south to the greens of yore. Your company would be greatly appreciated on this so treaturous journey.

Kindest Bodings,

Tomas

Not to be outdone, his reply.

Dearest Friend,

Its good to hear back from you so soon. I can only thank the dear lord that the good weather has made it possible for the post master to navigate old Old Creek Road. In all the road was blocked for over five moons this past winter. It seems to be getting longer every year and I do find it most lonely when I have none of your news to digest. Father is still quite good company but with his back the way it is he is stuck to his bed mostly and gently snoozes most of the day. Mother is still frightfully quite as she been since our poor Jeannie fell ill and passed. I do miss Jeannie most awfully. She could always bring a smile to the house and mother and father were so content when she was around. I do look forward to smelling your mamaah's roses once again. In all my days I've never a seen a specimen so fine and proud as those she labours upon year after year. I shall see you then at six and a half past the Lords hour of morrow at the fair Lodge. I shall be travelling lightly so if I leave at sunrise I should have a most leisurely journey.

Yours in friendship,

Brian

Man, I split myself reading these replies.

Past Tense.

Last week Myself, Duffy, Luke and Blackie were driving out of the city when we met a Garda motorbike unit stopping traffic. This can mean 1 of 2 things, a prisoner being transported from Portlaoise to the Four Courts or the President out for a spin. In this case, it was the latter.

We were stopped right on the corner, a perfect point for viewing the entourage. So with that I prepared myself for a big wave to Mary. I stuck my head out the window and began to wave as the Merc Passed. Some head of some guy was in the Merc, he pointed at me and began to wave at which point Mary head peeped out from behind him with a big smile and waved back at me. DIRECTLY AT ME!!!

We shared a moment. A moment I will never forget. A moment Mary will never forget. Sure her husband was there, but we knew it was just between us.

I can just see her after the wave, "There's that young fella I was on the internet with, when I was in Canada and he was in School in Ireland. He probably doesn't remember me, but I sure do remember him. His sweet kind eyes and boyish charm caught me up in a whirlwind of emotions that day."

IT FUCKIN DID ALRIGHT!!

Tramore 15-year-olds get Microsoft contract: Irish Times
Four pupils at Tramore CBS have won the Young Entrepreneurs Scheme with their website company Tourweb. Tourweb clients include Waterford Castle, Chernobyl Aid Ireland, Microfix Computer Training and Microsoft. Lisa Temple-Ashmore, educational software manager of Microsoft, did not realise she was dealing with school students when she received their professional approaches by email suggesting a market gap for an interesting IT-related site aimed at the 13-18 age group. She commissioned the Virtual Adolescent site and as a result of this and other projects Tourweb made a €3000 profit last year. The four pupils are Tomás Breen, Joseph Flavin, David Power and Ken Smith.

Funny as shit. Still in a subtle way tho. On that note, went to see Jose Gonzalez last week in the Olympia. Was excellent. Very relaxed style concert tho, and would have enjoyed it more if I could take my pint from the bar.

Lucy always puts up photos of her when she was a child. Know is my time to shine. Look at me shine. Not sure what age I was in this one. But I can only guess 5? 6? Jesus i'm shit at that child age guessing stuff. If I worked in an off license, i'd be bollixed.

Anywho, Mos Out.
