15:27serious relationship that was about four years

15:29so like we lived together in Australia and stuff

15:31look things finished up over there and I came back on my own

15:34but I suppose that was the biggest moment in my life where I just thought like yeah look

15:38you need to just grow up now like you know you need to decide what you want from yourself

15:42I'd love to meet someone around that but I'm quite independent so

15:45yeah

15:46maybe I think probably the same like that

15:47yeah yeah

15:47but obviously it would be nice for someone to step in as well at the same time so

15:50100%

15:51you want someone that compliments your life don't you?

15:53yeah yeah

15:53and can add tips you know

15:57like someone to wake up in the morning and be like wow

16:01I can't believe I get to spend my life with you this is brilliant

16:03if you bought of the same interest then you're never going to really learn it

16:06and it's going to be a bit boring where there is

16:08you could teach me something new that I'm not used to or

16:10try a new experience and I'm going to be excited to do that

16:13because it's something you enjoy

18:22I'm like from the previous Soviet party

18:24in East Berlin

18:25watch the wall coming down as well

18:26like that's fascinating

18:27people like kind of mocked us

18:28for like not having

18:30access to bananas and stuff

18:31yeah

18:32but it was good

18:33like you know as a child

18:34you can't miss what you don't know

18:35I loved the unity in how I grew up

18:41and that's probably partly because

18:43everyone was spying on each other

18:45I grew up in an 11 story house

18:47with like they had four flats on each level

18:51oh yeah

18:51and a great thing about it was that

18:54there were kids on each level

18:55and we all used to play with each other

18:57I had loving parents

18:59and I have an older sister

19:01that I was really

19:01I am really close with still

19:03so it was a good childhood definitely

19:05we didn't have much in the 80s

19:06but it was a good life

19:07you have three children

19:09and do they all live with you at all

19:11no

19:12we share custody

19:12so is it like 50-50

19:14yeah

19:14oh fair enough

19:15we got separated five years ago

19:16so I got a divorce there last month

19:19I met my next partner at work

19:21when I was apprentice

19:22fell in love

19:23married

19:23kids

19:25life kind of got very busy

19:2820 years kind of of marriage

19:30and it fell away then

19:32and basically common interests weren't so common then

24:25yeah

24:25one day I went into

24:26it's called a shoulder mount

24:28not a hard move

24:29it's one of the basic moves

24:30I do it all the time

24:31I do it now

24:31and I just went up

24:34and I came straight down

24:35when I got the hospital

24:36I got all my scans and everything

24:38it was absolutely terrifying

24:39I was so scared

24:41I was so so scared

24:42I was so so scared

24:43but luckily I didn't have any paralysis

24:45it was fixable

24:47I was out of work

24:48for about six months

24:49I couldn't train

24:50for like a year

24:52and yet you did get back on the pole

24:54100%

24:54yeah first thing I did was a shoulder mount

26:04what's that mean?

26:05yeah

26:05I have endometriosis

26:07you've probably never heard it up before

26:08so it's like

26:09basically a thing where it affects you having children

26:11why?

26:12I start experiencing

26:13very bad pain

26:15in my early teens

26:16and I was in the hospital for years on end

26:18and they didn't know what was going on

26:20they told me it was all in my head

26:22and sent me home

26:24at 16 I was diagnosed

26:26and then at 18 I had my fourth surgery

26:28which

26:29needs to happen a lot for it to actually stay at bay

26:33knowing that I wanted kids

26:35knowing that that can affect it

26:37was hard for me

26:38but I've gotten to accept that

26:41yeah this is gonna be the way it is

26:4425, 26 is probably the age where

26:47it will be harder

26:49no it will be much harder

26:50that happens

26:51I don't wanna get busy sound like is it?

27:05I feel like it takes a bit of time to like

27:07you know get to know someone and chat away

27:09physically I don't really have a type

27:12but I guess

27:13a nice smile is something I really like

27:16nice hair but yeah overall I think

27:19personality is more important to me

27:21I'm in the border I'm in Juarez

27:23like it's like next to El Paso Texas

27:26what is Texas like?

27:27I would say like Texas is Mexico

27:29Texas was Mexico

27:30so yeah in my brain it's like

27:32we don't get into colonization

27:33oh yeah

27:36I have a Native American heritage

27:39through my dad

27:42he's 80% Chiricahua

27:45there's this whole little story that

27:46we come from a reservation in Texas

27:49and then we were running away

27:50in the 1800s

27:53we ended up in Chihuahua

27:54and we had to change our name

29:21those grey squirrels are colonizer squirrels

29:24the redhead squirrels

29:25like they were killed by them

29:27just bringing it back to what you're saying

29:29like everything's political

35:17I'm not necessarily the person who says

35:19I want to get married

35:20yeah I know that too

35:21I do love my freedom

35:23but I want to share life

35:24yeah

35:25whatever I put into a relationship now

35:27would be lessons I've learned from the past

35:29I'm not the same kind of guy who was five years ago

35:31I'm more independent, more stronger

35:33I have an older sister

35:34she has two boys

35:34they are nine and twelve

35:36love them to death

35:38absolutely

35:38but her whole life evolves around the children

35:41there's literally no time for her

35:42no time to go to the hairdresser, do her nails, nothing

35:44yeah

35:45it doesn't look like an attractive way of life

35:48mm-hmm

35:50yeah

35:50it's still

35:53you really gotta want it

35:54oh I know that too

35:55yeah there's no going back

35:56once you go down that route

35:57there's no going back too as well

35:58no, you can't shove it back in

36:02maybe

36:21no

36:21oh my bollocks

36:22why can you not cook?

36:23no

36:23I'd fucking burn water

36:25no my man's great though

36:26my man has me dinner on the table

36:27every time I'm home

36:28that's like mine

36:29your nanny cooks through there doesn't she?

36:31love just makes you feel proper

36:32I mean that's what I want

36:33I want a reason

36:34to go home and be happy

36:36when they say

36:37oh will you work later my time

36:38so I'm like

37:50giddiness and love

37:52when did you come to Ireland then?

37:54ah

37:54two years ago I was solo traveling

37:56met a guy

38:11this thing that I shouldn't have done

38:13and then I moved into Ireland

38:16like full time six months ago

38:18and then like the relationship didn't work out

38:21so I just like moved in on my own

38:23like did my own things

38:40like oh my god

38:41super linens

38:42when you've been through a relationship and then you break up

38:45there is a gap

38:46that you have to go out there and find yourself and you feel lonely

38:51but then when you find yourself again having fun and being happy doing you

38:56then you don't feel sad and lonely

38:59what would you be into like girls

39:01I don't overly have any physical preferences

39:04I said a nice smile

39:06but she definitely have gorgeous teeth

39:09I said like brown hair

39:12I mean blue, oceany, Irish eyes
