I need to figure out a way to grow naked men in my garden!

Irish Aid For Africa

Yesterday I went with some friends to the Irish Aid celebration at Dublin castle. It was a great time and the money raised helps a great cause. Irish Aid is the Government's programme of assistance to some of the poorest countries in the world. Irish Aid works on your behalf to reduce poverty, inequality and exclusion in developing countries. This year, the Government will spend €914 million on overseas aid, making Ireland one of the most generous countries in the world. I never realized how much Ireland provides in assistance until I moved over here.

We took our own food and had a picnic and listened to the music throughout the day. There were book readings and dancing and lots of culture exchanges. I even tried some African food and while doing this and listening to the music I felt a little bit closer to my man who is deep in the heart of Africa right now. Although it also irritated me that my trip was canceled and I won't get to go to Africa and spend time with him, but I'm not going to whine about that right now.

Irish Vs French

The Heineken Cup final in Cardiff matches Munster of Ireland against Toulouse of France. Word out of Cardiff is that the Irish are arriving enmasse! Lock up your woman and children if you live in Cardiff later tonight with a bunch of drunk Irish men on the loose.

Paul O'Connell is banking on Munster's 16th man to roar them to victory against Toulouse in Saturday's Heineken Cup final in Cardiff. Munster’s captain believes their red army of supporters could tip the balance as his side goes in search of a second European crown against the treble champions. “We have got a lot of supporters over here, it all started eight or nine years ago and have continued ever since,” said the Irish second row. “Of course we can’t rely solely on them on them, but they do call them our 16th man and they have definitely helped us over the line on a fair number of occasions.“I hope they can do the same thing again.”

Toulouse are the most successful team in the history of the tournament and will be appearing in their fifth final, despite having a season dominated by injury problems. “It’s the hardest season Toulouse has ever had,” said coach Guy Noves. “But despite the injuries the team has worked together really well and shown you can perform on two fronts – we’re in the Heineken Cup final and the French Championship semi-finals.”

Fabien Pelous has already lifted the Heineken Cup twice for Toulouse and could be the first captain to do the treble. But he accepts that Munster pose a formidable threat, saying: “Munster and Toulouse both have great rugby traditions and both have used that to build the clubs and recruit players that has produced cycles of success.”

No African Trip

I received a call this morning from my man telling me that the plans for my Africa trip have fallen through. I won't be able to see him now until he comes back home which is still another 2 months away. I should have known this was going to happen. I had dreams about him all last night and in the dream every time I went to touch him he was always just out of reach. Then I get the phone call this morning and find out that he is now really out of reach and all I want to do is hold him.

Its so frustrating when things are out of my control and I can't do anything about the situation. His voice seemed so sad on the phone when we talked and I could tell he was disappointed too. Once I am over my whiny fit that I am in right now, I will realize the positives and that is he is safe and I was able to hear his voice tell me how much he loved me. I'll just have to keep counting the days until he returns and then I plan on holding him tight and never letting him go.

In the meantime, I will spare everyone that reads this my whiny mood and go wake my flat mate up and whine to him. After all, that is what room mates are for.

Irish Army Peace Keeping Force To Chad

Finally, more than 160 members of the Defence Forces have left Ireland for eastern Chad, to join a UN-mandated peace enforcement mission to protect refugees, Aid Workers, Doctors, and other UN personnel. The Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea, has described the deployment along the Darfur border as one of the most challenging missions the troops will ever undertake. 150 soldiers are due to join them soon.

Unlike previous UN peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, the troops on the ground will be able to use force if they deem it necessary because of the lawlessness and the carnage in Darfur along with the multiple conflicts in the border areas between Darfur, Chad and the Central African Republic. Minister O'Dea said the security is needed to be offered to the almost 250,000 refugees fleeing Darfur, and 180,000 people from Chad who were forced from their homes.

A Better Mood

We've been listening to some Mark Ronson while we got showered and dressed to head out tonight. As anyone knows from reading previous posts, I love this song Valerie and love Mark Ronson. He has one of the best smiles and anyone that knows anything about me, knows that I find smiles very sexy.

I happened to catch this new video he has of the song and I think its great the way he creates a video without Amy Winehouse since apparently she couldn't/didn't/wound't show up to be in it. I thought it was very creative and well done and his smile shines through this video.

Enjoy the video and tell me if his smile doesn't leave you with a smile! My mood has gotten much better and I now have a smile on my face. It's gonna be a good night.

Happy Birthday To Spence

Here is a little lap dance for you.

A bunch of us are going out for drinks tonight to celebrate a friends birthday. I am hoping it will get me out of the mood I am starting to get into. I am starting to really miss my man and its getting me a bit down. The days are not going fast enough til I can see him again. Plus, I was never cut out to live the life of a monk, celebacy is not for me, so not being able to do THAT is frustrating! My cats are starting to get that worried look back in their eyes and they are avoiding making eye contact with me. lol So I am hoping being out with some friends tonight will break that mood and get me back on track.

Men In Kilts

To my friends who are getting kilted up this weekend and going to the Scottish Highland Games festival this weekend, have fun and I wish I was there with you. You better be brave enough to go commando! lol
