Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. NOW A NETFLIX SERIES ENTITLED "SPECIAL" FROM EXECUTIVE PRODUCER JIM PARSONS STARRING RYAN O'CONNELL AS HIMSELF. From the beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto exploring what it means to be a millennial gay man living with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls "a younger, gay version of Mary Karr's Lit." People are obsessed with Ryan O'Connell's blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who's not afraid to dole out some real talk. He's that candid, snarky friend you consult when you fear you're spending too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you've made the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night's party and need to find a way to get rid of them the next morning. But Ryan didn't always have the answers to these modern day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known as your twenties happened and things got even more confusing. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliche: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on "necessary" items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I'm Special will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to become happy fully functioning grown ups with a 401k and a dog. Synopsis coming soon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

TOMB OF WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN ,Limerick County,Views of Ireland,1884 Antique Wood Engraving TOMB OF WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN ,Limerick County,Views of Ireland,1884 Antique Wood Engraving Historical Collectible Art Print WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN (1803 - 1864) William O' Brien, Patriot, was born in Dromoland, County Clare on October 17th, 1803. He was the second son of Sir Edward O' Brien, fourth baronet of Dromoland. William's brother was the well-known Sir Lucius O'Brien, Conservative member for Clare. His mother was Charlotte, nee Smith, whose father owned a property called Cahirmoyle in County Limerick. William inherited it and adopted the additional surname of Smith, thereafter he is known as William Smith O'Brien. He was educated at Harrow and at Cambridge. In the 1820's he took his seat in parliament as the Conservative member for Ennis. In 1835 he became Conservative M.P. for County Limerick. In London he met Mary Ann Wilton and fathered two children born to her. In the Autumn of 1832 he married Lucy Caroline Gabbett of County Limerick. Seven children were born of this union, five boys and two girls. Originally a Protestant "Country Gentleman" of conservative politics, his views changed with parliamentary experience. He became an ardent supporter of Catholic emancipation. He joined the Repeal Association in 1843. He became a leading member of the Young Irelanders and with Gavan Duffy and others founded the Irish Confederation in 1847. He was active in seeking relief from the hardships of the famine. 1848 was a year of revolution all over Europe. In Ireland, William Smith O' Brien urged the formation of a National Guard, and an armed rising was planned. However, the Famine had left the country spiritless and they had made no real preparations. At the end of July a small group under O' Brien clashed with forty-six policemen at Ballingarry, Co. Tipperary. This skirmish at widow McCormack's cabbage garden brought the rising of 1848 to an inglorious end. William Smith O' Brien was arrested and sent to Clonmel for trial. The Jury found him guilty of high treason and he was sentenced to be hanged. The capital sentence was commuted to transportation for life. He was imprisoned for about nine months at Spike Island in Cork and on the 29th July 1849, he was sent to Tasmania in company with Meagher, O' Donohue and MacManus, his associates in the Rebellion. After nearly five years in exile an unsolicited pardon was accorded to Smith O' Brien on condition of his not returning to Ireland. In 1854 he came back to Europe, and settled with his family at Brussels. Here he wrote the book "Principles of Government", or Meditations in Exile, which was afterwards published in Dublin. In May, 1856, he was fully pardoned and in July he returned to Ireland. He contributed to the "Nation" newspaper but kept himself apart from politics. After spending a short time at home he departed on a continental tour, visiting North America before his return. In 1864 he visited England and Wales, with the view of rallying his failing health, but no improvement took place, and he died at Bangor, in Wales on the 16th of June, 1864. He is buried in the family vault in Rathronan, County Limerick. His statue stands in O'Connell Street in Dublin.

ST MARY,ST ANNE'S CATHEDRAL,NORTH CATHEDRAL,Cork County ,Views of Ireland,1884 Antique Wood Engraving ST MARY,ST ANNE'S CATHEDRAL,NORTH CATHEDRAL,Cork County ,Views of Ireland,1884 Antique Wood Engraving Historical Collectible Art Print North Cathedral - The Pro-cathedral of St Mary and St Anne s, commonly called the North Cathedral, is the fourth church built in the parish of St Anne's since the Reformation. The first is known to have existed in 1635 as has been described as a baptismal church. Its exact site is unknown but was possibly in Coppinger's Lane. The second church was built about 1700 near what is now known as Old Chapel Lane. The third church was built in 1730 by Bishop Donogh MacCarthy Rabagh on the present site of St Mary's. Building on the present church commenced in the 1790's but it was not officially opened until 1808. The Cathedral built here was the vision of Bishop Francis Moylan who was Bishop of Cork from 1787-1830.Like many of his predecessors, Bishop Moylan spent time on the continent as a priest during the Penal Laws. When he took up his office as Bishop of Cork there was no Cathedral, no seminary and no catholic educational establishment of note. The people who lived on the northern edges of the city attended Mass in local Mass houses and later in a chapel near the North Presentation Convent. When the Cathedral was opened in 1808, Nano Nagle was then teaching and feeding the poor in the streets of Cork; the French invasions in support of the United Irishmen were talked about -and opposed by Bishop Moylan; the Christian Brothers were opening their first schools in Cork, and Daniel O'Connell was arguing the case for Catholic Emanicipation in the British Parliament. The Penal Laws were fading fast and Catholic Cork was confident and strident in religious matters as well as other spheres of life.The Cathedral was opened in 1808 as the parish church of the single parish then on the northside of the city -hence its local name: the North Chapel. The first priest to be ordained in the Cathedral was John Englandon the 10 th October 1808. He later emigrated to the United States where he became a Bishop in South Carolina. In June 1820, the North Chapel when it was maliciously burned during the night. Bishop John Murphy, a member of the famous brewing family, organised the reconstruction of the church. The architect George R Pain was selected by the Bishop to carry out the work. Pain remodeled the interior in a fine Gothic style and extended the cathedral incorporating a new enlarged sanctuary. Bishop Murphy also commissioned the famous Cork Sculptor John Horgan to design the main altar. Horgan s work included the placing of 27 statutes in niches around the altar and the relief-carving in wood of Leonardo Da Vinci s Last Supper as the frontpiece to the altar. The next additions were carried out by Canon Daniel Foley which included the mortuary and baptistery for the Cathedral. It was not, however, until in 1860 that a major reconstruction was carried out to the Cathedral. The work was entrusted to the architect Sir John Benson. He nearly doubled the size of the church, extended the existing tower and added the Great Western Door which is now the main entrance to the church.

From the beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto exploring what it means to be a millennial gay man living with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls "a younger, gay version of Mary Karr's Lit." People are obsessed with Ryan O'Connell's blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who's not afraid to dole out some real talk.
