It's Been a Helluva Week in This Badass Life of Mine...

I already have waaaay too many tales to tell after only a week. I'll try to upload most of those stories someday soon. But somethin I thought to be kinda hilarious was when an electrician came to my host family for maintenance. He seemed full of a lot of life. Me, my good friend Wayne, and my other buddy Matt; he introduced himself to all of us. I was the last hand he shook. When I shook his hand, the bones in his wrist snapped like they might've already been broken. I was like, "Hey man why did your wrist pop when I shook your hand?" Cause it kinda freaked me out for a second. He looked at me and said, "Cause you got a handshake like a BEAR." : ) I instantly started bustin' UP! I laughed pretty hard right there at that dinner in front of everyone.

And another thing that was pretty damn funny, the man who is the head of the household I'm stayin' at... He actually was the assistant director for the film BRAVEHEART. He was 5 feet away from Mel Gibson when Mel lost it on the set during the production of that movie. His name is Paul and I like and admire him a lot but I thought it was hilarious what he said to me after the first two nights he was holdin' it down for me, Matt, and Wayne. He said we were gonna have to get me my own cow after he found out how much milk I drink. HAHAHAHAH LOL : ) Pretty great man!

I also found out what my first Ireland lightning storm was all about. THAT was badASS. I thought the thunder and lightning storms at my coasts in Bandon, Oregon were insane. And even still, some of them are; but in the middle of the night during the middle of the week, there was such a powerful downpour rain storm with ruthless thunder and lightning. It only occurred for a half an hour, then it vanished. I remember closing my eyes to TRY and sleep... I seen bright white powerful flashes not only through my window curtains, but also through my eyelids with my eyes shut while I was turned away from where the light came in.
