Not many care about what St.Patrick's day is about.

They all only care about becoming drunk-as that would seem to honor him? I highly doubt that would make him happy. After all,he was a Catholic. And getting drunk is one of the seven deadly sins(or 14 now).

So since today is his feast day,i figured what a better time than today to post this.







St.Patrick wanted the Irish people to have faith,not be pagans. So he traveled Ireland and converted tons of people into Christians.

After he died and became a Saint,many people wanted to honor his memory and St.Pat's day got started. I assume that it started with good intentions,and sadly has been crashed into the ground.
Now its an excuse to party,get drunk,act badly and sell. Just like how Fat Tuesday,Easter and Christmas has been for years.



Anyways, Happy St.Patrick's Day

Erin Go Bragh!

Tara Feis-Irish Fun



Today i went to see what Tara Feis is all about. Its a Irish theme day. They had Irish music,green shirts,shamrocks and more.

But i'd say the main focus was on the two special Irish performers from Ireland:

Harry O'Donoghue and Altan.






Both true talent from the land of green shamrocks.

I was quite pleased with hearing both of them perform live. Much better than what i can hear on the radio,any given day.

So go and check them out if you can!
