St. Patrick’s Day: A time to drink, reflect … and drink

By Justice

I don’t believe I’ve ever worked on St.Patrick’s Day. It’s my favorite holiday after Halloween. I love holidays where people dress up like crazies and drink way too much. In the spirit of things, that’s what I’ll be doing today. Also, I’m Catholic (or was) so why wouldn’t I love St.Patrick’s Day?

Most everything else is going relatively well. I got a fantastic lawyer who totally put me at ease as far as my case is concerned. My ticket is such a low level ticket (on the same level as having your dog off a leash or playing your music too loud) that I shouldn’t be especially worried. He did, however, tell me that another ticket would basically make my case exponentially more complicated. So I’m laying low.

In other non-news, I miss my brother a lot. We communicate online but it’s not the same. He is blogging from China and the blog is so entertaining. I forget how funny he is. Or maybe I just think he’s funny because we have the exact same sense of humor. He also posted pictures of himself on the Wall of China and of the weird things in his new apartment. I didn’t really have plans to visit him because I’ve been to China enough times to know that I’d rather visit any other country beside it. I have never seen the Great Wall in person though. We’ll see.

Of course, being as Irish as Paddy's pig, of course this is my favorite holiday. Unlike the big gift holidays with all the family hassle, all you have to do is find something green to wear and drink beer. Sounds like your ticket was for a petty offense (lower than a misdemeanor). Here in MN the cops are out for Paddy's day, which they rank as the third biggest for tickets, after New Years and Halloween. Stay safe!!!
As far as romance goes, sexual life has always been "The Lack of the Irish." Our vices are talking too much (I can be excused because I once kissed the Blarney Stone) and singing off-key (but I was born on the feast of St. Cecilia, patroness of musicians.) I am off the sauce for Lent but Patrick was such a great saint that when you raise a glass in his name, the substance immediately is transformed to Holy Water. Slainte na Shaol(To your health and happiness) and may you be rollin' in the green the rest of the year.

Good news on the lawyer ... America has proven to have a faulty system anyways: the more money you have the less likely to go to jail u are (i.e OJ Simspon, Jayson Williams and tons of other pro athlete).
Enjoy life:u have the chance to be one of those dancer who can work at their own pace and have a nice life not cribbled with debts or various issues that make this job even more difficult..There arent that many, enjoy !

My bad, my comment on your previous blog was without having read the one before, you've gotten so prolific! What a bunch of bull****. Good move scoring the good attorney. Hopefully March Madness brings some business in too. Hey maybe your bro would like to meet somewhere else in that part of the world, Thailand, or somewhere you've not been yet...

In 4th grade, the weird but oddly fascinating French teacher, Mr, Simmons, taught me the value of a good bad joke! While inexplicably making me the treasurer of the chess (weiqi) team, he also stressed the possibility of renunciation of game choice.
Lawyers, like officers, are made jokes of and sometimes 'hated'. 'Til the time when a person actually needs one. Than their everyone's daddy...
