Unfortunately nothing. I'll be at school until 10 and then I gotta be at work at 7 tomorrow morning. I did some celebrating over the weekend though. I'm not wearing any green either (can't really wear any because of the fact I have to wear a uniform).

I am stuck in training. I'm getting trained on stuff that I already know. We were given like 1 hour to learn stuff, and it took me 10 minutes.
Also, I am forever exempt from getting pinched on St. Patrick's Day because I have 2 green tattoo's. I deliberately don't wear green on this day. If anyone tries to pinch me, they are going to get kicked. -------------------- "Bees make honey....Do earwigs make chutney? Do spiders make gravy?"

I love holidays, breaking up the monotony of the same routine is great But yeah, too many holidays are centered around drinking or shopping, it's pretty depressing.

What are your opinions on New Years and Fourth of July? Just as much drinking and driving (if not more) happens on those holidays as well. In Ireland St. Patty's has nothing to do with drinking. They go to church and all the pubs and liquer stores are closed. St. Patty's is a religious holiday. Here in america it is a celebration of the largest ethnic group in america. More americans have Irish heritage than any other ethnic group. The drinking portion is a result of the stereotype that the Irish are drunks. Each person has their own responsibiliy about thier actions on March 17th. Same as any other holiday. I myself will head home after work. Head to the bar across the street from my apartment. Have a single green beer and a single Guiness, and a single Irish car bomb. I will say goodnight to my friends, walk home, spend some time with the girl before bed, and then go to bed. This is pretty standard for my St. Patty's day and I am extremely proud of my Irish heritage. -------------------- QUOTE(Apologistnky @ Nov 4 2010, 10:57 PM) A squirrel cannot carry the rabies virus... but has no trouble carrying the AK-47 assault rifle or the M72 Light Anti-tank weapon ( LAWS rocket)!! :unsure: :lol: |
