It's such a weird world out there. Even though I complain about the whole relationship thing and such. I actually do see couples that shouldn't be together, no I mean the ones you can't see together. I was online a couple months ago and I remember MSN making fun of the more chubby dad's on t.v. sitcoms. And they were wondering how the heck these guys get all these hot wives on television and such. In real life it's practically the same thing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who see this. And also it's sometimes the other way around. I see a pretty good looking guy and the wife is average or even a bit below that. It's really weird, and I'm actually glad it's like that at times. But then again divorces is still around like the hottest thing since slice bread you know.
To tell you the truth. I was working on this one girl at work. She's new and all, but as me playing it smart I already knew that every guy was going to go for her so I didn't say anything at first. Because eventually she'll probably get harrassed by most of the guys. So eventually that did happen. Some 30 year old guy wanted to get with her and all these other guys. See the thing is. I probably doing the same thing and trying to be slick. It's unfortnate that guys are always trying to get something out of every girl. I admit that was on the mind but more way in the back burner. It's not like I would go for that instanely because I could have gotten sex numerous times during my life time but it was actually to where I had to force girls off me. Or make up so really bad excuse. It's just messed up.
No matter how much I try to hide it. I sooooo love girls. they're my most favorite thing in the world! I'm a horn dog. And surpressing (or sorta doing that lol) is so difficult. So basically I told her to watch out for those guys at work (which was a good thing to say but also a bad thing to say.) So basically I ended up with the friendship mark clear as day on that shiny forehead of mine @_@. And it's like I told her I liked her way before that and I still end up like that. I played it alot more safer and try not to talk to her so much to give that friendship thing going but it still happened! >.<
Oh Rory Rory Rory whatca gonna do with yourself. I'm just amazed on how far I've come. You remember how I use to say it was years since I dated? Well it's to where I don't even consider that I've dated at all. I know women too well that on a whole another level I don't understand women at all. Does that make any sense? I mean probably the same thing with girls think about guys. Let me tell you something about guys. Don't give into sex so easily from what I've heard. Things usually go bad from there. Not because it's lust, it's because the guy got what he wanted out of it and such. You have all these girls wondering why or what's wrong with their guys.
Remember how I said something about challenges in last entry? It's kindo f like that. You have good challenges and bad challenges. By nature everybody doesn't want just a plain old boring relationship, even if it's the one most suitable for us. It has to be interesting and able to survive thick through then. Everyone wonders how I'm so smart and know all this stuff. I really don't know anything at all. I just THINK. I think about everything. People IM me wondering what I'm doing and I don't answer. They think I'm a slow typer after I answer them and such, no it's because I think so much that I actuall walk away from the computer and roaming around just thinking of all sorts of stuff. I have to constantly fight with myself. "Rory Jones vs. Male World of Hormones, live on pay-per-view, only $49.95!"
First of all as a guy, girls are always on the mind. As Rory girls are always on the mind. They have two totally different points of views of each other. And clash and fight all the time. Because I have to stop and think, what do I want out of this, do I wanna get some or do I want a relationship, or either other way I won't get either because I fight with myself too much. So nothing ever gets accomplished. But I do admit for being so guy like, the onl thing that's ever stopped me from achieving anything sexual or everything I wanted has been Rory. It's like my last line of defense seriously. That damn dorky kid who loves anime and says the most corniest pick up lines always seems to beat the guy horomnes of himself out in the end. My personal opinion I really think it makes me weak but then again I probably wouldn't be the person that I am. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but it's certainly different.
I noticed I'm being more open and actually talking about the stuff I go through. I use to think of it as a problem, but now it's more of trying to understand what goes on in the mind of what Rory really thinks. I sometimes wonder what people think of me even though it's not important. Just wanting to somewhat know what impact you make on them and such. That's the reason why people write in blogs. Or most to see what people have to say. That's why people long for replies and such and that's what I'm going to ask for. What you think of all this? "Eh weird as usual!" lol
Perched on the top of the wonderful natural amphitheatre that is the 17th green at Rosses Point, a crowd of over 1,200 looked on as a little bit of history was made by a teenage boy from Holywood, County Down.
Rory McIlroy’s two and one victory over Mallow’s David Finn in the final of the Standard Life sponsored West of Ireland Championship will not be remembered for the level of golf that was played under ‘bare Ben Bulben’s head’, though there were many memorable moments.
For even if McIlroy fades into oblivion in future years, a prospect that seems unlikely at the time of writing, his feat of winning the ‘West’ at the tender age of 15 years, 10 months and 25 days will take some beating.
Those who were there may yet forget his coolness under pressure or his memorable comeback against Alan Glynn in the quarter-finals when he was one down playing the last but made birdie to go on and win at the fourth tie hole.
With time, the memory of his slacks (made to measure by Darren Clarke’s tailor Tony Q in Chelsea) may fade or even the manner in which he came back from a two hole deficit after six in the final to win with apparent ease.
It was a West of Ireland Championship to remember for so many reasons but McIlroy’s feat in becoming the youngest champion in the 83-year history of the event will live long in the memory banks.
Even the weather was memorable, especially on Friday and Saturday when blue skies and sunshine made for low scoring on the soft and defenceless Co Sligo links.
In the first round, local boy Gary McDermott carded a five under par 66 to take a one stroke lead over the field on his championship debut, having qualified for the event under a special condition that allows non-exempt players under 25 years of age who are within a shot of the 0.8 handicap cut-off point to take their place in the field.
With a handicap of 1.3, the 23-year-old covered the front nine in six under par 30, before coming home in one over 36 to take one stroke lead over former Irish Close champion John McGinn of Laytown and Bettystown and North West’s Michael McGeady.
Eventual finalists McIlroy and Finn, Co Sligo’s Sean McTernan, Keith Crowley of Lee Valley and Donal O’Brien of Laytown and Bettystown all signed fo 68s while Co Louth’s Barry Reddan, the oldest man in the field at 59, went round in one over par 72.
After such a solid start, all eyes were on McIlroy in his bid to take the leading qualifier’s medal but in the end he had to bow to McGeady who carded a second successive four under par 67 for an eight under par total of 134 - one shot outside the all time low of nine under par set by Sweden’s Oskar Henningsson the previous year.
The North West man, beaten finalist in the Irish Close at Murvagh last year, finished just one ahead of McIlroy and McTernan, who also carded rounds of 67.
But there were also fine performances from the likes of flame-haired Dunmurry man Darren Crowe, who equalled the course record with a six under par 65 and Swede Niclas Glans, Limerick’s Pat Murray and Co Louth’s Simon Ward, who came in with scores of 66.
“I was thinking 59,” admitted McGeady afterwards, after getting to six under after eight holes. “All I was trying to do was keep out of my own way and play smart golf but I lost a bit of momentum on the way home.”
The cut fell at a record low of 147 - just three players on that mark failed to get in - and was two shots lower than record set just last year.
Reddan, the champion in 1978, made it through with a shot to spare and was handed the dubious honour of taking on McIlroy in the first matchplay round on Easter Sunday.
It turned out to be bloody Sunday too as a host of champions crashed under leaden skies during the first two rounds. Defending champion Paul McDonald, Irish Close champion Brian McElhinney, East of Ireland champion Mark Campbell, leading qualifier McGeady and World Universities champion Crowe all bit the dust.
Three former winners - Stuart Paul, Mark Ryan and Reddan were also unceremoniously dumped out of the championship as favourites McIlroy and McTernan marched on.
McTernan cruised into the last 16 with clear-cut wins over Eddie McCormick and Castletroy’s Stephen Moloney while McIlroy was in outstanding form in his two matches beating Reddan by 5 and 4 and Castlecomer’s Michael Buggy by 6 and 5.
The youngster hit every green in regulation in his two games and covered the 27 holes played in ten under par figures with no dropped shots.
Kilkenny butcher Graham Nugent beat East of Ireland champion Campbell 2 and 1 and Cork’s Mark Collins by 5 and 3 to reach the last 16 while Mullingar’s Pat Higgins beat Irish Close champion Brian McElhinney at 18th in round one.
Mallow jeweller Finn had played well in qualifying for the matchplay stages and continued to shine with wins over Harry Diamond and Seamus Power. A third round meeting with local boy McTernan might have signalled the end of the road but he came through to win by one hole and then beat Galway’s Joe Lyons by 4 and 3 with controlled performance in the quarter-finals.
McIlroy almost came unstuck in his third round meeting with 18 year old London-born Connacht man Alan Glynn, but produced a stunning comeback to win with a birdie two at the fourth extra hole.
Having been three up after three, McIlroy found himself two down after 13 holes but battled back to level the match at the 15th.
Glynn won the 17th with a bogey five to go one up again, but McIlroy showed his class by holing a 20 footer for birdie at the 18th to force extra holes.
In sudden death, the teenage pair halved the first in par and the second and third in birdies before McIlroy fired a seven iron to 15 feet at the par-three fourth and holed the putt to progress.
Then he crushed Greg Massey by 3 and 2 in the quarter-finals to set up a semi-final showdown with big Rory Leonard of Banbridge with Finn meeting another Banbridge man, Connor Doran in the other semi-final.
Doran, a 22-year-old business student from Banbridge, had beaten the fancied Swede Nicklas Glans on the 20th to progress to the last four but was blown away by Finn in his bid to make the final.
The 38 year old Corkman won by 7 and 6 as McIlroy held firm to beat Rory Leonard one up, the Ulsterman taking three putts from the apron short of the 18th green to lose the hole to a par four.
so many finals of the West, the decider was a nervy, cagey affair early on with McIlroy losing the second to a bogey five and the sixth to a birdie to find himself two down.
However, the youngster holed a six-foot birdie putt at the eighth to reduce the arrears and when Finn found bunker trouble off the tee at the 10th, the match was all square with eight to play.
From there it was a question of keeping errors to a minimum and McIlroy’s play from tee to green was that much stronger than his older opponent.
At the 11th, the Holywood teenager holed from 12 feet from the back fringe to go one up, lost the 12th to a par, won the 13th in par but then lost the 14th after bunkering his approach. Still all square.
Finn saved par at the 15th as McIlroy’s 15 footer for the win stopped on the lip. But the key hole proved to be the par three 16th where Finn missed a tricky four foot slider for par and found himself one down with the tough 17th to play.
Neither found the green in regulation but with Finn 10 feet above the hole in three, McIlroy chipped to inside eight feet and looked on as his opponent’s par putt ran a good 12 feet past the hole coming down the hill and then failed to save bogey.
With two for the title, McIlroy holed his par putt, shook hands and hugged his father Gerry, his caddie and confidant.
“It's unbelievable. I can't really describe it,” he said afterwards. “To win one of the major titles in Ireland is fantastic. This is the best achievement I've ever had in golf. I'm well aware of the great names that have won this title before me and to join them makes me feel great.”
Those who witnessed the final will remember it for many reasons and whatever McIlroy achieves in the future, his week in Sligo will be etched in the history books for all time.
