..i know I'm about an hour and 15 minutes early, but St. Patrick's Day is upon us. I'm not really entirely certain what this holiday is about, but I think it's an excuse to get drunk. Wait. Isn't that what Cinco de Mayo is for? Fourth of July? Columbus Day? Passover? I've lost track of the drunken, pseudo-holidays we celebrate in the name of our esteemed forefathers/mothers from the homeland. Whatever.
I can't claim 100% Irish ancestry, but I know there is a sizable chunk of Gaelic in me. The DNA testing sample I have submitted is in progress will tell all, so I'll share the results when I get them. I'm certain that back in the day the Scots had something to say about the Irish and how we all got eventually muddled into the "Scotch-Irish" same name label category when emigrating to America (sigh). I suppose it's all Gaelic at its core. Just like we are all African if you dig deeply enough.. LOL.
Here's my FAVORITE Irish party song. House of Pain - Jump Around! I find Irish rappers amusing..wish they would come to Oakland;) Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
