BLOURNAL
I’m Not Dead… Yet
Don’t worry, folks. I’m not dead yet.
Apologies for the radio silence. My mood took a slight dip during the week and that’s partially why I haven’t done any “blournalling” since last Monday.
Blue Monday
You know, it’s kind of fitting that today is Blue Monday, especially because a certain someone’s inauguration is mere hours away at the time of this writing.
R.I.P. David Lynch
It’s been a rough year so far and it’s still only January.
An Idea Might Be Forming…
Well, I was going to write a “blournal” entry on all the things I’m looking forward to in 2025, but I might do it as a YouTube video instead.
Back on Track
I spent most of this weekend playing word games on my phones, which is basically my way of saying that my weekend was not productive in the slightest.
Let’s Go, Giants
Last night, I saw the Belfast Giants play against the Nottingham Panthers at the SSE Arena in Belfast and… holy puck, I think I might like hockey.
Ice Photo…
…if I do say so myself.
Los Angeles
At a loss for words…
Nosferatu
Just got out of Nosferatu.
It's either my favourite movie of 2025 (so far) or my third favourite movie of 2024.
First Day of 2025
I had a fun time in Lavery's Bar last night. I drank, I sang, I danced, I talked plenty of shite and I may also have taken a few glasses of Baileys after the clock hit midnight.
Last Day of 2024
Well, here we are… the last day of 2024. Not gonna lie, it really feels like this year went by in a flash. I know everybody says that but the older I get, the more noticeable that feeling becomes. If that’s not a clear sign to anyone that they should cherish the time they have, I don’t know what is.
Merry Post-Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all.
Yes, I know Christmas Day in the rear view mirror and your mileage may vary on whether or not the Christmas holiday itself is over but as far as I’m concerned, it’s still Christmas. Regardless of what you celebrate at this time of year, I hope all is well.
Work in Progress
OK so, aside from the occasional “blournal” entry I post on a semi-regular basis, I have mostly neglected this website.
Remembering November
Well, November’s over and today is the first day on the advent calendar, so I might as well ruminate on the month that's been.
Gaelic
Man, I was pleasantly surprised by how this match turned out.
No exaggeration. The second half wasn’t going well at all. The Moortown teams always start out so strong but they frequently struggle to maintain that same momentum for the remainder of the match…
I’m Not American…
…but even I’m well aware of just how painful the next few years are gonna be because it will have some kind of knock-on effect on the rest of us.
Election Day
Hi, everyone.
So, I spent a significant portion of yesterday trying to write a “blournal” entry that was supposed to be a look back at this year’s Halloween, but it unintentionally morphed into a diatribe about the real-world horror that is the presidential election.
What’s a “Blournal?”
Hi, folks.
As the name of the website may indicate, I’m Danny Quinn, and welcome to my “blournal”. It’s not quite a blog and it’s not quite a journal, hence the portmanteau. I’m not the first person to use the word and I’m fairly certain that I won’t be the last either.
