Believe me, I had a lot of great plans for what earth shattering topics should take the stage for my post here. Would I dedicate this space to the struggles of having to plan a potential career while trying to stuff as much knowledge about King Lear and the chemical structure of proteins into your head as you can? Maybe point out the irony of that minority of people who want the Syrian refugees to stay far away from Ireland, despite the fact that similar circumstances have led to Irish people settling in all four corners of the world. Who knows, I may have even spent the entire space I was given poking fun at presidential candidate Donald Trump, who blames China for all the woes of the U.S., but continues to have his line of clothes crafted over there in order to cut costs. Unfortunately, we'll never know what I could have done here, because I am completely and wholly distracted by this ominous stick I found outside my gate. It's the strangest natural formation since those faces up on Mount Rushmore. Now, I don't consider myself overly superstitious, but I'm pretty sure this is how a lot of horror films start. Of course those around me have been brimming with reassurances, like "If you get possessed, it's your own fault", "It's probably a warning from the crows", and a simple "You'll be missed". So, I hope you're all as mildly perturbed as I am. Hopefully the Taoiseach will listen to my formal request, and finally establish the Ministry of Stopping Strange Things. Until then, I'll just leave well enough alone. I think fire makes it angry.
