penfold

Helllooooooo Lucy!

Wed Jul 23rd 15:51:07 2008 *

I forgot this place even existed. I will now update my blog every 3 hours. And by 3 hours, I mean years.


Anywho, I figured since it's been about 4 years since I posted on here, I should give a quick update to what's happening with penfold. Well firstly, you'll notice that I spell penfold with a lower-case p now. It's much cooler.

Secondly, I'm in college.. Well, technically I'm in work placement for college at the moment. I'm designing web applications. It's alright I guess. Pays the bills. I'm not sure what I want to do with my life. At the moment, I'm studying Multimedia Applications Development.. But there is the option for me to go into TV production when I finish my degree with a 1 year follow-on. Jobs are pleanty, as it is in a niche market. The company produces programs for TG4, which is the Irish language channel. Which is also something I've become very interested in in the past year or so.

We study the Irish language here all during school. However, not enough time is focused on the conversational aspect of the language, so after 13 years of study - it's rare to see a student with reasonable fluency of the language. So I've been studying on my own time, and organising conversational nights out in my city. It's going well. Tá mo ghaeilge níos maith anois!

That's all for now. Work's over. Time to hit the high road!

Ex Girlfriends ruin training

Wed Aug 11th 05:24:39 2004 *

How can I train for my fight when my ex keeps.. No let me restart this so it makes sense. Shane stole judo mats (well borrowed, but "stole" sounds cooler on the internet) and placed them in his living room. It's kinda like a living-room-dojo as such. In any case, when we can't make it to our jiu-jitsu club, we just spar in his living room. So after work last night - I'm like, "Yo let's spar" - Or at least that's what I would of saying if I lived in the hood. Anyways I'm on my way to his place and he rings me. He's all like "Donna is here with my roommate". So I couldn't go down to train because she would of getting in the way. I can barely get any spare time as it is to train but now, this just takes the fucking biscuit. In other news; The postman is a little jerk-off. He didn't bring me my parcel.

I am fucking broke.

Tue Jul 27th 08:48:29 2004 *

I can't believe how broke I am. Being an independent film producer (who is broke as fuck may I had) is really having no benefits at the moment. I am still yet to produce my first short movie and I'm still spending fucking money on equipment. To date I have spent about 7'000 on a camera, mic, matte blox, tripod and filters.

Now I have to fork out another 350 for 4x4 filters. These are the only filters designed that will work with my matte blox. It's a pretty damn nice kit that includes a polarizer, black frost and neutral density filters. It's just that my pocket keeps getting hurt.

Anyways, I promise to fucking god that I will have something done soon. Give me a few weeks. I know I've been dragging the shit out of this, but I've been broke, heartbroke, busy, tired and not had the urge to do shit.

On that note, work ahoy!

Women act so kiddish.

Wed Jul 21st 15:52:55 2004 *

I'm making a stand now against all women that want to have the last say in anything.

These are women. They are rarely ever correct but don't tell them that. They will usually nag you to death until you give in to the power of the female.

I penfold, got dumped not so long ago. This girly was pretty much the hottest chick I've ever dated. (No Crisp, it's not your mom - she was a close second). So, I do the manly thing and ignore her existance. I put out in full frontal fashion, my refusal to show her I care. So then she has the audacity to bitch at me for ignoring her.

Ok, let's get the facts straight, bitch. You dumped me. You broke me heart. I gave you an easy ride and said absolutely nothing. I nodded and smiled. Easy break-up, correct? Apparently not, because if women don't feel like they are in control they tend to enter bitchin' mode.

It seems that if I had of kicked and screamed about the break-up, she would of feeling content with herself - knowing that it was on her terms and knowing that I was in need of her. Eh? Wrong.

So she gets pissy at me because I "pretend" not to care. I don't understand women. We can't even get dumped good enough these days for them? What do you want from us? We give you our money, semen, love, attention (sometimes..) and it still is not enough.

What the fuck is going on up in this bitch?

The day after Tomorrow

Tue Jul 20th 18:03:50 2004 *

I just watched TDAT on dvd (pirate of course) and I thought it was pretty damn good. You know, I expected it to be goat-shit but I was proved wrong. You see, even I, The Penfold can be wrong sometimes.

However, one thing that annoyed me - When they were being chased around the ship by the wolves, he named them as "wolves". Let's be frank; If you saw wolves roaming around in New York, you would most certainly not think that they were wolves.

Maybe Alsations.

Or Huskies..

But most certainly not Wolves!

I am blogotoming. Or something..

Tue Jul 13th 06:06:55 2004 *

Ok. So I'm in work. It's quiet. Golly gee Whilikers Batman!

I'm fighting on 9/11 in the Irish MMA League. I'm also most likely probably going too be shooting the event; partially because I rock and partially camera looks like this.

I'll also be fighting in the "Ring of Truth" which is under semi-pro rules. The guy I'm most likely going to be fighting, Drummo, has apparently a decent stand-up and ground game. In any case, I'll be recording all my fights, so if you want to check them out, I'll put them up on fckvwls.com.

Onwards you filthy bastard!

In not-so-recent news: Crisp & Rel "hax0red" some BBS. There is a warrant out for the capture of these two little mischievous chimps for consuming 27 litres of jolt cola in a 3 hour time-span. Suspects are armed.. Well Rel has arms, technically Crisp has a hook.

In other news: they have apparently discovered where the word "fuck" came from. I think fuck is a beautiful word.

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King; the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F**K (with the other letters in!) meaning 'Fornication Under Consent of the king' on it. Now you know where that came from.

It's been educational, folks.

Yeah, blogs. So what?

Tue Jun 8th 12:45:32 2004 *

I've already got a blog. I suck at updating that. What makes you think I'll update this? I bought a guitar today, because Rel is a little jerk-off and persuaded me. I also bought some century optic filters for my dvx100. Do I expect any of you to give a shit about what I bought today? No. I'll leave it at that. Who even reads blogs anyways?

Pie-charts are cool and stuff..
