St. Pattys' Day is comin'

On bein' Irish. We're full blooded at 50%

--- Being Irish means knowing what your drunk is. Ours is beer. What's yours? Power? Cash? Coke? For shame, since you seek the highs we know every day. Those three are attempts to get where we already are. See, bein' Irish means that happiness and joy is a way of life. And the lows of being human just get in the way, lessened and assuaged by booze and tears. That's why we drink and cry and get pissed: to ease the pain, not increase the joy (we've got that down). Some folks drug because they seek the highs we know every day. For shame. We'll raise a pint to ya all: tonight, tomorrow, and next Saturday.

It's great bein' Irish, to be sure to be sure.

And what do the Irish do on St. Patty's Day? We say "thank you", we say "all is forgiven." And we ask for forgiveness from others in our life for the wrongs we've committed in the last year. Sometimes all three to the same folks. We Irish are great at remembering and pretty crappy at forgetting, though we try.

St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be a day for remembering. How about it? Can we all try...?


"Thank you."

...

"All is forgiven."

...

"Please forgive me."
