Old emails
I was looking through my emails from my own email address of sandyluvstrilo@yahoo.co.uk. Some memories are to be had with that email address. Anyway i found this email which i sent while away in England… i think i was in Brighton at the time for about a week staying above a night club and singing Jeff Buckley The Last Goodbye from my window..anyway so here’s the email…
woof woof woof
this is trilo here….. you should all know me cause im sandy’s dog.. or as she still calls me her “puppy”. she is away in england at the moment and i just thought id send everyone an email.. i know its from her own address but i just havent had time to set up my own one. i want to let everyone know how much i miss her and i kinow she misses me. i can tell she is a little homesick and dying to get me into bed to cuddle up to. i really miss her and since she’s gone i havent slept inside at all. only sandy lets me sleep with her and drink out of her coke bottle or glass and even eat yogurt of her spoon. i love her. anyway im gona end this.
ps; i know this may be the only email you will ever recieve from an animal but i just had to.

trilo
You
You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool
You are my all in all…
Thank you. When i hear the songs and the words i feel as though a big comfy duvet is surrounding me and i feel safe.
Paulo Coelho wrote, ” when you have found your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficent courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat and dispair are the tools God uses to show us the way”.
Time
A person i used to work with had this on a social site one day and i took so much from it.
“In life…do not follow the path. Go where there is no path to begin the trail…” Ashanti Proverb.
Finally now i am beginning to feel strong and feel like my whole life is ahead of me. All the negative things from the past seem to be on the way to be just the past. Time is a powerful healing tool, i know it’s a cliche but i believe in it, i want to.
So the Proverb i love it because that is exactly where life is going to go, i will start out into the unknown and begin a beautiful life and future. As Frost says, “and that has made all the difference”.
I hope and pray and forgive in time. I look forward and not back and look to a future full of smiles. It’s only a week into the New Year and while i still do have good days and bad days, i am out walking now and doing loads of positive things and it is so wonderful. Even this beautiful cold frosty weather feels like it’s made for me. I can sense the newness and brightness of the Spring time coming our way.
“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”
– Pope John XXIII.
Eek I don’t sound too philosophical or gay as i do say. I mean it and if it does sound sad i’m not bothered. It’s real and it is from me.
Trilo
A little stroll along Rocky Bay. Lovely day for a walk, the waves were awesome and the colours of the sea were amazing. Nothing like it. Here’s the gorgeous Trilo posing for a photo 
and there’s a few more on My Flickr
In Cork for the night
After a really nice visit from Rob and Barbara with some lovely food in Lugi Malones and some drinks in the Crane, we went to Crosshaven to see the sights the next morning. Barbara was really good to let me take photos of her, she’s a really cool model.
I can’t make her real
Two of the deadlist music videos i have seen in a long time i post below. Their deadly (damn living a few weeks in Dublin has got me saying Deadly, arg) in the sense that we are brought through a journey from part one and part two and how fucking emotional and tearful would you feel after listening to them, well i feel it anyway.
Wipple
A Wipple, i think that’s what it was the doctor called it. It’s going to be where part of the pancreas is removed, the gallbladder is removed and some other stuff like some of the intestine is removed and then what’s left of the bowel is reattached to the stomach.
I wish it was as simple as just writing it above there.
What a fucking year!
The third one
3. I dropped my toothbrush down the toilet bowl.
Suffice to say i didn’t brush my teeth that night or in the morning until i got a new one.
3 things
Since Friday three silly silly things have happened which has led me to believe that the Sandy as i know her is yay Sandyish again.
1. I burnt my finger on a hot coal by stupidly putting my finger on it to move it as the fire had gone out and
i wanted to relight it…duh!
2. I ended up losing my car keys somewhere in my Dad or sister’s house.
3. There was another one i just can’t remember.
So anyway i left Sligo, had a great time, gigging Sandy is back, went to her first live pub gig in like it must be
years (where was i) and to start it of, it was back home in the local McGarrigles. The band Ezio were really entertaining, Scooby Doo impression was great Thanks to Rob for been so informative. Oh ya Rob’s latest post is deadly so go read it, the sexist and proud one.
Another Country
While speanding two nights in Berlin, i ended up in this bookstore on the Friday evening and didn’t leave till about two o’clock in the early hours of Saturday morning. This is a bookshop with a difference. Imagine a house with loads of bookselves and an open door, well this is it. I have always wanted one wall in my house with shelves for books and cd’s, i haven’t got it yet but someday and sitting in this bookstore brought it back more than anything that yes, it will be something that will be happening in the future.
This bookstore was more than any bookstore. It was a bookstore you could go into and sit as you would in your own home. It was so chilled out and relaxing. I stayed and had a few beers during the evening and even ate some sushi…well sushi without the fish it had avocado in it instead.
At around 9.30pm a absolutely amazing dinner was served and eaten and i loved it, i don’t even know what the meat was but it was so herby. The carrots were cooked in orange juice…good idea, they were delicious. After dinner we had a few more drinks, decided not to watch the movie that was been shown and headed of down the road to play a few games of pool and then back to the bookshop before getting the U-Bahn back to my hostel.
Big thankyou to the host of the evening and also to Dave, Orla and Julia and everyone else whoes names i can’t remember. It was an excellent night and if i’m ever in Berlin again i will definately be checking the place out.
