reveal yourself for a second. tear a way your platinum polished shell. be yourself for a second. who could i possible tell ? silent for fear of mistake making. speak your mind, my friend you'll find we respect you less for faking ! your self awareness is such a shame. you can drop your whole damn act. show your critics your a man of worth. make a genuine effort to interact. dont be embarrassed of who you are. that unnecessary fear of how you appear, its ridiculous! i know you have character!
take a good strong look at how you treat the people that surround you!

In half a mile of happiness
stands the difference between me and you.
just a smile can be such bliss!
its not that much to see I miss,
gentle eyes or the touch of lips, and,
the total indifference I could hold to truth.
this cardboard heart
just might fall apart at the sight of a troubled tear.
the whisper of a bigger fear
might bring to the unwanting hearing ear
thoughts of lonesome days ahead.
never resting from restlessness
no crumple of cotton from a lazy head
a nervous shell paces instead
thinking of the words they should have said
with happiness half a mile away
the morning only brings another day,
to dread.

Sunday : gorgeous weather, off to Dublin did a bit of window shoppin and walked in love in the sunshine. headed off down to wicklow and relaxed on the couch watching a shite england side fluke another fuckin world cup win over a slightly pissier team. went for a walk in the forestry to stretch the legs before the portugal Holland game which turned out to be mental 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards. shit game yet more entertaining than any england "performance" as of yet.
Monday : thanks you for smoking, cuddles in the cinema, fucking spicy burger, poor old austrialia, itialian jambasterds, chat with welly, bones, cira, mcnervous and ej, bob Dylan sounded like he was good, hooj sounded like he was insane. called to wellys watched switzerland miss more penalties than ukraine with neil, dara, ka, welly, collins, collie and kelly. went to kellys to hear the recordings of the gig in the milbank. sound good. went home and mentally prepared myself to go to work and write this blog.

the millbank theatre 17th of june.
unite tribe play to a sold out local crowd with support from eoin donohoe.
eoin takes the stage at 8:45 and as a hush descends on the audience he approaches the mike.
"good evening". he is in his usual smart/casual attire. the set begins. donohoe is a fantastic guitar player although he hides it well, under his raw and rugged style. the sound is perfect. eoin's songs are extremely well written, his interaction with the crowd unprecedented and as the lights go down after a marvelous performance, there is a real sense of intrigue; can Unite Tribe out shine such an unexpected entertaining and soulful venture by the impressive young donohoe.
To claim they out-shine would be unfair to donohoe but they certainly live up to and in places totally exceed all expectations. The performance by unite tribe, assisted by the temporarily recruited de burca on keys and peire on percussion, is a combination of addictive rhythm and sweet melodies which the crowd seems more than delighted to swallow up. their repour with the crowd, as donohoe before them, is one which could be likened to an old friend. we the audience are made to feel at home with the sounds presented to us in a show that re-examines some old rastafenian-classics as well as introducing us to the more lyrically and musically evolved new sounds of Unite Tribe. blah blah blah.. i had a good laugh, and i am very proud of my friends. its a great achievement.

he had the fingers of a farmers hands
eyes show the rush of blood to the head
tremendous temper like a tough december
tears wet the pillows she lies down on the bed
heavy heart beat beats a selfrightous rythem
convincing himself what he did was not wrong
it feels like a lifetime every second she's with him
each small moment seems to go on so long.
