...No, there isn't a little bit of Irish in everyone on this day. If your ancestors didn't come to this country out of desperation or desire to strike back at the cunts who drove them from your ancestral homes, didn't build this country's infrastructure alongside the Africans and Chinese, only to be burned out of town and spat on, then take off that fucking scally cap, put down the car bomb, get the fuck out of this bar, and go to work.
"You were going to say something, Matt?"
I looked at the goofy Italian bastard on the next stool, his stout splashing on his crisp new Dropkick Murphys shirt as he bobbed along to the Pogues, shook my head and bit my tongue. He didn't mean any harm, just wanted to get pissed with his friends.
"Nah, dude, cheers."
I raised my glass, gulped down my brown ale, and slammd down an empty pint glass.

I'm 75% Irish, 25% Welsh, and a 3rd generation American. We still kind of have our roots, but not really. I'd meet the cunt that allowed the Welsh-man in my family, I'll probably kick him for getting rid of our O'Reily name... Now we're Williams's because of that bastard. Anyways..
This time of year just fucking makes me wretch, puke, squirm, and angry all in one swoop.
I feel like a dick though. I usually make myself a meal like my Grandma used to make with the taters and corned beef and cabbage and carrots and a nice pitch black chocolate stout. But, instead I had taco bell and got stoned. Wtf happened to me? I've sort of lost all sense of tradition.
I think you and I have about the same length of hair. I usually run the top of my head to about the lower lip and the sides fairly short. Do you ever chop it off in the summer and run a tight/efficient cut? Or do you tough out the heat and let it stand tall?
