Theory of intelligent beings
October 28, 2006
The following is my theory on other intelligent beings, from Paul Savage (aged 6).
It goes like the following, when I was young, I thought that everyone around me was, like, robots, or non intelligent beings, that I was the centre of the univerese. And that everyone was on the planet for my benefit, pleasure or entertainment. I would think that things didn’t exist when I couldn’t see them. And that people were just randomly place here and there to please me. Its really quite funny, when I look back on this now. I just to try and sneak up surprise people, but they were always there, I tried to see if I was smarter than the system I lived in. But still it remained in place, keeping me occupied. I often wonder back and think if my family members thought I was just a strange kid or a weirdo. At least I didn’t try to reason with the other ‘robots’ in my surroundings and ask them why they were all so stupid.
easily distractable, that’s me

During the day at work or on the s-bahn, I think of things to write here, and typically I forget to actually write them. Here are some, like :
- Isn’t it strange that you tend to notice lots of similar type of people on certain random days ? Like for example last Tuesday I was off getting the S-bahn and I saw a girl with a shaved hear, like shaved #2 blade type head. And then I noticed a further one (albeit different) on my way back home. It’s kinda weird the way you can go for ages not noticing something (I’m sure there are baldy women constantly walking past me as I go around Munich ), and then sometimes you’ll see heaps. Another further example is people on crutches. I’m sure people don’t tend to break their legs at the same time, but sometimes suddenly you see it
but I never seem to be able to get them writen, as I get distracted and then another random observation comes along like
- Have you ever noticed, that when you think about saying something, as in really go over it in your head. And then there seems to be some mental block in your head, as your not sure if you said it outloud or if you really said it. This has happened to me lately. I’d have something to tell Lauren, I picture myself saying it, and then hours later I’m unsure if I ever said it. And I’m guessing most of the time I didn’t say it. So I say it again. Then I have two memories of saying the same thing. This leads to further confusion.
- Also I’ve been wondering why, lately, I’ve been dreaming like a mad thing. Dreaming has included such weird things as the end of the world, going back to Next to work and them having me fly to Waterford to work or being part of a Russian reality TV series applicant and being (wrongfully) caught cheating. So what’s it all about ? Is there anything to my dreams, am I just eating too late at night. Or is there a reason why I am remembering the damn things all of a sudden ?
So anyway, getting back to the more interesting day to day points, Ciarán comes to visit in November, flying from Bremen for less than €30 ! And then Lauren has some visitors the following weekend from her Dublin office. And I have Fiona & friend coming out for a week for a visit too. So it’s like, before there was a drought of visitors, and now it’s raining again ! woohoo. Visitors are always welcome, and having the spare bedroom !
Welcome to the Urnial !

Welcome to my urinal, a place where I hope I will be able to keep people abreast of what’s happening here in Munich or my life or some cool pictures I’ve taken. It’s kinda hard to make a proper intro here, and explain all about me. Also I guess that the most of the people who visit here will know me. For a quick update on me you can read this.
In the coming weeks I will aim to sort out my online photo galleries, and maybe add a bit more content here. Mostly I will be posting my random musings about little things I notice or find funny. So yeah, sit back (or get me on a RSS feed) and wait for the updates. Please have patience.
In the mean time you can check out some of my favourite web sites:
- www.engadget.com (dedicated to bringing some of the latest advances in technology, updated throughout the day, a must for anyone who wants to keep on top of what’s happening in the industry)
- www.feckthat.com (a message board that i’ve run since 2001, focusing on mostly topics related to Ireland)
- news.bbc.co.uk (BBC online news offering)
that should be enough for now.
bis spater,

I got a new snowboard see below. So now I just have to wait for snow!
It’s my 2nd board, in as many seasons. The first one came to an unfortunate ending when my old house mate who was 15kg heavier than me took it for a ride. But I’m quite happy with the replacement board he paid for.
