St. Drunks McDrunk

Hooray, it's St. Patrick's day. What better way to celebrate? GET WASTED!

Seriously, what a joke of a holiday. How is this day viewed any better than mardi gras? I mean, I suppose there isn't a child friendly version of anything on mardi gras, "Here kids, throw the beads and see how many breasts you get to see!". Then again, since the highlight of St.Patrick's day is getting drunk, what's the child friendly version of that? Corned Beef is no more a St.Pats day thing than it is just a general Irish food dish.

Wearing green is the other highlight of this day, which I suppose all can partake in. Even with this there comes headache, however, as every child not wearing green gets pinched, poked, and even punched by their green clad classmates.

Everybody acts stupid on this day as well. They say stereotypically annoying things like "Top of the mornin' to ya!" and "Lucky stars", crap like that with an Irish accent. They're not even cool things to hear with an Irish accent, at least not as cool as asking an Irishman to tell you the time at exactly 3:33. That's a funny one.

Just wait for the morning news though, I'm sure you'll see plenty of stories about drunk drivers and other irresponsible acts cause by irresponsible people getting drunk. Even tonight I'm sure you'll see traffic stops everywhere set up by cops who know just where all the drunks are going to and heading from.

How do you make getting completely trashed, a normal event for many stupid people, into a holiday? Force everybody to wear the same color and "celebrate" Irish heritage.

Thanks a lot St.Patrick, you ass.

Happy New Beers

Oh my goodness gracious, where to even start on this one. I always find it ironic that people becon in the new year by being completely drunk and trashed. Fresh start, while drunk? Eh, people will always perplex me with their flawed logic and such but that's human nature for you. I do wish that new years wasn't just an excuse to get drunk but that's never going to change, so though I do enjoy being with people and having fun, I will always resent the fact that it's next to impossible to find a good party that isn't about drinking. Either way, what's so new about the new year anyways besides some new number at the end? Life still continues and people stay stuck in their ways though they resolve to do otherwise.

Make the new year count, don't just view it as some novelty thing.
