land of my people

Oh I am so sore. It’s not so bad though, so long as I don’t move anything from the neck down.

The cafeteria at my work has cupcakes with green frosting today. Mmmm…the blood of my ancestors…

St. Patrick is kind of like Ireland’s Christopher Columbus — in that he civilized all the native heathens with his Catholic ways. You know, he was a missionary. Thanks pal, that nature-based religion wasn’t really working out so well anyway.

Of course in modern days it has become an all-purpose “Irish” holiday, which is all well and good. Most of our holidays have roots in things far-removed from their current meaning.

I just ate an awesome salad. And now I have actual work to do.

    The thing I hate most about St. Patrick’s Day is that there’s all these people wearing “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirts, and when I try and kiss them they have me arrested.

    what i hate most about st patrick’s day is that it’s another excuse for people to get blasted and act like complete assholes…

      Oh yeah. That too.

      Which is another reason why it’s fun to do something different than that on New Year’s Eve, or nothing at all! I’m thinking next year I will celebrate the new year with brunch the next day. Then I can make fun of all the hungover people.

          I don’t think I’m too cool; I just don’t think being obnoxiously drunk is cool. I know these views are unpopular, but I for one have never courted popularity, blah blah blah…
