Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To try and think of a "current mission" that makes me seem intelligent, humorous, mysterious and deep all at the same time
ABOUT ME
This is never easy, but i'll give it a go. Love the outdoors...and the indoors too, love sports but like relaxing, i like to cook but dont know if im any good (I think i am), i like making people laugh...and making myself laugh and i'm quiet fond of a beer or ten!
PHILOSOPHY
"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it. "
"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf, host, guide and follow. Funniest was one guy took the "meet for coffee" option different to most. He wanted me to show him a store where he could buy good coffee because he was confused by the brands we have in Ireland. He was unbeleivably grateful, i think he REALLY liked coffee!
Interests
Music: Live in Cork and there are gigs/sets/performances on nearly every night of the week, realy good city for music. Personally I like any type of music although I have grown out of my straight up gangsta rap phase!:)
Sport: Hurling, football, soccer, rugby...wtaching, supporting and playing.
Grew up on a farm so like working with animals
Recently found a new love for skiing

For a laugh:
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson goes on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.
‘Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes,” replies Watson.
“And what do you deduce from that?”
Watson ponders for a minute.
“Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
“Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes is silent for a moment. ‘Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”
