Dun Laoire: Gay night in Lime April 3rd 2008

Ok for those of you not in the know, Lime is in the main street in Dun Laoire and it also has a fabulous light outside its door which shines the "Lime" logo on the street-If you stand on it, you are (temporarily) in the lime-light-gettit? anybody? *sigh* My jokes are wasted, either that or just really really shit! :-)

Anyway Lime will be hosting their first Gay night on this Thursday 3rd April 2008 with the lovely Mr. Gay Ireland Barry Meegan as the host for the evening. Its great to see something which exists outside of Dublin City Centre! And Lime is a great Venue-nice and spacious and cool and collected all at the same time, Who knew such a thing could exist in Dublin.

You can get more information on their bebo site and I hope it goes well on the night! I may be in attendance we will see how college work is going during the week.

The Evolution of Dance

I just across this on a friend's bebo flashbox. I am now stealing it & I am posting it because it has cheered me up no end on a Friday night, when all I have been doing is cleaning my room.

Surely Shirley

Before anybody says it, I wasnt expecting it either. However one never expects when little surprises happen. And lo'behold little Shirley was born.

Ok so she's not real(*covers the childs ears* "sssh dear, the adults are talking")....Shes part of a Bebo application and so she is a "Bebo Baby", of the Bebo Generation David McWilliams will profess no doubt in years to come, when he comes to write about the year 2000 generation.

Now I am sure I had a point to this post and I am sure it will emerge somewhere, for the moment though look at Shirley isnt' she cute? I think she has my eyes and i do like the jacket we picked out for her. Focus on her whilst I find my point.


Anyways yes, babies! It struck me how casually this baby was created, a few clicks here, a little there and you have made a baby with somebody of your choosing. No anxious waiting. No waiting for the right time. No ante-natal classes. No thought. Perhaps I read to deep into this, after all Bebo is only a bit of fun but it is also a major social networking site, at least in Ireland & the UK as well as most of the English speaking world (though laterly being surpassed by Facebook). However I do think that the problem with this "Baby Application" is not the creation of a 'Bebo Baby'-All Children, virtual and real are a blessing- but rather the means to its creation. Perhaps a time limit and a developmental cycle of the child's creation would have been something of merit which should have been considered. Then at least some semblance of reality but also of responsibility with regards the rearing of Children would be realised.

Certainly for me, it will not be a case of *click* Add Application *click* Create Baby. A Child should be a considered option for all and no parent should shirk that responsibility. For as I said a child is a blessing, at all times. Those times may not always be oppourtune but what does it matter. A Child deserves its love and attention and indeed we all crave it. For the time being I will Shirley will get the love and attention she deserves. However I look forward to the day when I have a child of my own with someone whom I am committed to deeply. Until then, I shall wait...



PS if anybody knows of or finds the Man of my dreams, can they forward him along my way sometime soon. Searching can be quiet drearsome at times. :-)
