St. Patrick's Day '07

No one man should be allowed to consume that much Guinness and Jameson in one day. Thanks to my friends who made the day complete, and thanks to those who PAID ATTENTION to my "speech" at Malone's. (and thanks for having my back, with a vengeful force against the opposition)

some pics are here

For those of you who missed it, here it is:

Our Irish brothers and sisters
Are not physically near
But we still hold them dear
As we celebrate here

This Celtic day of celebration
Spurns our elation
For being alive
And trying to thrive

Lest ye forget
Their well-placed bet
They gambled on a free existence
In trying the English patience

Why do I wear black?
It reminds me to think back
To a time when we weren't all so free
Under oppression of an ill-conceived monarchy

So here's a cheer
To everyone here
Raise a glass
To the times that'll pass
Pass a beer to your friends
And hope it never ends
Because, dare I say,
We're all Irish today...
