I have no idea if I'll do anything with it, or if it will be one of those sad, dormant historical documents you come across on the Web from time to time. But I've started. I feel that I have a worm's eye view of where I am in the world, and that that's worth putting down on (cyber) paper.
I have serious concerns about the world I live in. I've lived in Ireland through the first decade of the 21st Century. It has not been edifying to look at this world from my WIV (worm's eye view, anyone?). We've had Developer Fever, the Ryan Report, baNAMA, Lea's Cross, Banksters, the Murphy Report... the list goes on, and on, and on.
Over the last few weeks/months, we've had
- John O'Donoghue dragged kicking and screaming from his Cathaoir
- The untimely announcement of Brian Lenihan's illness
- The departure of George Lee from politics
- Deirdre de Burca's hissy fit
- Willie O'Dea (no relation! I don't even have a shadow of a moustache, k?)
- Trevor Sargent's exit as MOS
Most of all, I'm sick of seeing the 'Tiger' devouring it's cubs, or at least exporting it's best and brightest again. My friends are leaving in droves, I'm stuck in the mud here - family commitments, financial commitments, etc.
Ok, that rant is now over.
