Last night I had, as the title suggests, an odd sort of dream. Now, I don't remember it all, but I remember the main points. I decided that I wouldn't bother coming in for religion class this morning, so I got about an hour extra in bed, yippee! But I really didn't want to get up, I wanted to know where it was going with the strangness. Oh well. I got a listen to Colm&JimJim and then a bit of Gerry Ryan, and then Ray Darcy. Ray is cool.
Anyway, the dream. I was in hospital in Cork. I think it was University Hospital Cork in the dream. I can't remember if that actually exists or not, but it's all good. It's a dream, it doesn't matter. I was in there anyway, in a bed, no thanks to our past health minister, Ms. Harney! I was visited by woman, and I presume that she was a wife figure or something like that. But, her most striking feature was that she had six breasts. Two heads are better than one, but six tits, I'm not sure. They were in three rows of two. Only one of them were "real" so to speak. The others were made of various chemical compounds of sorts. I think one was water. I think there was a sulphate there too. So that I knew which one was which, I wrote the formulas' compounds on the corresponding breast with a pen. The middle one in the left column was the "real" one, made of flesh and booby material. I think I had difficulty finding a pen at one stage, and I might have used a pencil. Poor girl, I wouldn't fancy somebody writing out Sodium Dichromate on my breast with a pencil!
It was quite dark in this dream, if I remember correctly. But there was a large blue tower yolk, that kept appearing. It was a bit like that bleedin' French thing in Paris, y'kno the one, yeah? But it was blue, well, lit by blue lights anyway. I think the hospital was also being rebuilt or under construction or something. Ooh, maybe it was a crane!?
This woman at one stage was going off home. She said that she was going to check her breast, to see if she was preggers, I mean pregnant. So, ladies, you now no longer have to use a test yolk, you just have to look at your boobs to see if you're pregnant. I don't know what you're meant to look for, or whatever, but if you ever come across a woman with six breasts, ask her.
So, what does it all mean? Ask Bricky?! Probably an aspiration for a family life. But, with some weird mutations...six tits. Well, the baby wouldn't be thirsty anyway! Sure, I don't really care what it means, it's just funny. Well, slán libh!

What do I look like at all?
Maybe the title is ambiguous. What I mean is, what would someone think of me if they just took a quick gawk at this page? They'd probably think I'm a big 'RA head or something! I do like the tri-colour at the side (apparently it's the one on the Customs House) but is it a bit suggestive? I don't really care, I'm not taking it down, coz it's pretty!
The last post, Pearse's poem, might have people wondering what I'm about too. "Hmmm...I wonder does this guy think blood sacrifice is good too?" I dunno. The principes of the Rising were commendable. Even against rediculous odds, the Volunteers and Connolly's Citizen Army fought against the army of the mightiest empire of the time for the right of freedom. Right, I'm not doing myself any favours here if I go off on tangents like that. Even so, that last statement doesn't make me a Provo does it? Yeah, I think I'm safe. It's perfectly ok for us to embrace our history and not be sympathizers of modern hard liners. Even if you don't embrace, it aint going anywhere folks. It happened and so, up the Wolfies for singing about it, I say!
Graham seems to think that I'm a republican. I was gonna give that a capital letter first, then I thought, no, no, then that would be the Yankee Republican Party. So wee little letters will do. But of course, he's being a little silly there. Even more amusing was that he thought Mr. David O'Shea was also a staunch republican. But anyway, folks, I hope yez don't think that I've a stash of weaponry out my back garden or anything. I like Irish history, (correction, love) and of course, I'm of the thinking that the Irish are bleedin' deadly. So, I can do no harm, but again, of course I'm going to be a tad biased in favour of the Volunteers, IRA under Brugha, etc. etc. But, I'm no criminal, I'll buu-rst yeh, righ'?

State o' chasis!!
My Lord, this country's political standing is surely in shreds! The election is looming over the heads of candidates and present TDs alike. It's 19 days away or something. But, even without the election, things are sickly.
Possibly the greatest example is the happenings concerning the new M3 motorway. It's planned to cost €850million. Holy Fuck Batman!! This controversial motorway is planned to run through the Tara Skyrne Valley, only 2km from the Hill of Tara, the seat of the High King of Ireland in bygone days. There has been protests against this road, with hippies and the like, camping up there for weeks on end. They feared that the road was going through an area where the probability of finding something of historical value was great. This turned out to be true. The location of a ritualistic site has been found, right in the way of the northbound route of the proposed M3. How fucking convienent.
But what makes this a real cracker is the Government's response, or lack of, in regard to the find. Oh, it's good. Dick Roche, Minister for the Environment was told about the site. He then gave the National Museum a buzz to see what they thought. But, Mr. Roche didn't think of telling his fellow FF fella, and cabinet buddy, Martin Cullen, Minister for Transport. Maybe Dickie didn't think Mr. Cullen needed to know that the state's biggest road plan ever was to be stopped. Twelve days later, Mr Cullen went to Navan to turn the sod ignorant of the development. He started the building of a road that was to be halted about 3 metres down. Oh silly Dickie. Why did you not tell Martin that his class project was facing troubles? Do you have some other agenda? "Heh heh, I don't like you Martin, I'll make you look shit!"

So, as this example shows, not even the fuckin cabinet can talk to each other, or bother their bollocks to do so. My, my. The poor cabinet sure have seen some tough days this term.
Bertie: Well, he's had his fair share of shit. Manchester...finances...businessmen...payments etc. It's come back into the public arena about 14 times now. Answer the questions Taoiseach!
Harney: Well, I'm sure half the country is sick of her face at this stage. It takes up half the page in the broadsheets! That funny video that was on the six one news sums it all up. Destroying a health service for the benefit of the wealthy. Just like the PDs should!
McDowell: Where to begin. He seems to be a right gimp. I was listening to him one day in the Dáil, and I thought to myself, what a gobshite! He wasn't handling Opposition comments too well. I think it was Richard Bruton. Or was it Pat (the Baker) Rabitte? Doesn't matter. Mick was replying with devious little comments that make you wanna say, gimp! Two words....Garda Reserve. What's the deal?! Nowadays, it's the mobiles in Portlaois...will it end?!
Dermot Ahern: Looks like a rat. He also officially owns my passport. Who does he think he is?
Willie O'Dea: This little fella seems to want more power than he has...hmmm. Pointing his guns...He wants to be the big gun.
Decentralisation. It's a big word for the government. They're sticking to their guns (especially Willie) on this one. But, nobody wants to move. Do you blame them? Nope. I don't think I'd want to move to Enda-Kenny-Land, or anywhere like that. If you're interested, here's the website, but I highly doubt you give two shits.

So, the country is in a state o' chasis! I didn't think I'd ever be writing something of this nature, but that's the way it goes. It sucks not having a vote for the coming election. Bollock the register and it February-ness! C'est la vie! Slán leat.

Éamonn Ceannt essay
Due to poplar demand (one request, but whisht) I am giving you a link to my Éamo essay. It's the kinda half cut down one. It may be missing some of the nice details, but hopefully not loads of them. It includes the beautiful story of Cathal Brugha's courage, so it's all good. Enjoy. Long live the memory of "the brave sons of '16."

And if you're interested, I've finished my Bricky post. I've updated it a few times since its birth. I've done my closing paragraph, bringing all my points together. Scano would be pleased. I think that's more than 17 points fully explained.

For further info, pictures, Éamonn's Rising statement and one of his touching letters to Áine, his beloved wife, visit this nice place. It's a bleedin' Adobe yolk, but it's good apart from that. The second link tells of the goings on in the South Dublin Union, where Ceannt was stationed with his 4th Batallion.
