Saint Patrick's Day, the one holiday that is particularly dedicated to the Irish, that is celibrated in america. A day for stuffing onself, and drinking as much alcohol that your system could possibly stand, pretty much a typical day in the life of the Irish, except today it would be almost forgiven due to the fact that it was a holiday. It's a time for family get togethers, getting back in touch with your family, although if you're Irish, you more than likely have your family already breathing down the back of your neck. For americans, it's a day to wear green, and the ones that don't have that specific color are pinched the hell out of. For the Irish, you more than likely get the crap beat out of you on a certain basis, wether than be from enemies, friends, or siblings. So for your average american, it's a day to let loose, just another excuse to party and get piss drunk. For the Irish, it was just another day...
"To be Irish is to know that in the end the world will break your heart" -Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
