Conundrum

As some of you may know. I am going to Virginia Beach in just over a month. I will be going with my brother C. Who I normally go on holiday with.

This is me, in C, in Murphys Irish bar. Virginia beach March 2010. Who the onlooker is I do not know.

However this year, my youngest brother is in the USA. He is working as a camp counsellor. So in theory he may be able to join us, for our trip

This is my youngest brother. Yes, he has this photo on his visa. ha ha ha

I want to go and see UNC play on the 18th of September. My friends will be there. A College football game would be an experience. The tickets are not outrageous. 50 dollars each. Though the seats are metal benches, and the stadium is dry.

The problem is the USA, is so large and so vast.

Or rather the problem is I don’t drive.

If I drove it would be a 4 hour trip, from Virginia beach to the University of Chapel hill, at North Carolina

Added to this pickle is the fact I don’t know if my youngest brother will actually meet us in Virginia beach.

He may have returned home

As my middle brother, C. Does not want to go to chapel hill, than I would have to go with my youngest. Now I could just bite the bullet and book a plane ticket, though that would be expensive, or should I get the train which is a 24 hour trip spread over several days.

Or is this whole enterprise just foolish?

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
