Ok, Definitely Drunk !!!

One of my three days that I always say it is ok to be drunk before noon are -- St. Patty's day, 4th of July and Super Bowl Sunday.

This being the wear what's green day (and let's not miss the point that I am of Irish descent), had my corn beef and cabbage (ugh, I should stop eating this crap at a NON Irish restaurant, ya think?), and instead of bowing down to some traditional Guinness or Bushmills, I settled for my usual double Bacardi and diet, as the bartender sees to it that it is at my table before I have the time to take off my jacket (LOL).

I wore a green bow tie all day. It was meant for my grandson, but the damn music thingy wouldn't work, and I was going to return it when I said, what the frak, just wear it! I had fun. And it's all the more so because I am of Irish descent. I learned to do jigs at an early age. (Although the dominant strain heritage wise was Norwegian ... hell we had to speak Norwegian at the dinner table, had to ask to leave the table and say thank you in Norwegian for sure!)

I've loved the Celtic sounds since being a child. Can't really say where I actually heard them from. It's just a vague remembrance.

Flogging Molly

I'm Irish, Kiss My Ass

Ok, so I am part Irish and a serious part Norwegian. But my Irish roots come from my paternal Kelly clan side.



One of the three days of the year I feel it is ok to be drunk before noon! St. Pat's, Super Bowl Sunday and the 4th of July.

I don't have to wear the green. My tattoos have so much green in them, I won't be pinched.

Just so you don't think I am old school, enjoy some Floggin Molly!
