Saint Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!
Although St. Patty's day celebrates the Irish and Irish heritage, it is a celebration of Christian Ireland and the the defeat of paganism.
Patrick was originally a slave in Ireland and escaped to continental Europe, where he studied and became a priest. He then claims that the christian god called him and told him to christianize Ireland. He did preserve the tribal government system and is said to have recorded a lot of the ancient, what we now call myths, although he did christianize them a lot. The King Arthur Legend is one of those myths. St. Patrick is said to have added the whole part about the search for the grail and Morgan Le Fey, being an evil soreress.
However, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the Irish. So go for it, but please be safe.

I also got a job at Barnes and Noble today. I train on saturday and start on sunday. I'm very excited. I have officially joined the work force and will have to pay taxes next year. Yuck!
