Why do we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? The primary reason for the celebration is to drink heavilly. (Not that most of us need a reason for that.) But the TRUE reason is to commemorate the feast day of Saint Patrick, a Christian missionary who later on became the patron saint of Ireland. It is held every 17th day of March, which is believed to be the date of his death. English-speaking countries, individuals of Irish ancestry and anyone who likes the color green are just few of the many groups that devotedly follow this special annual celebration... As ive mentioned. I am SOOOOOOO excited to be going away for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus' annual retreat weekend tomorrow. And St Patrick's day has wrecked my mood.!! Because of this "special" holiday, 30% of Staten Island's bus drivers called out today so I had to wait for an hour and a half for my bus.. When it arrived, it was packed to the rafters with other pissed off commuters who had been waiting on their street corners. Then i had to deal with 3 people ALREADY vomiting on the ferry ( it was only 1pm!!!!) Once I got in to the city my train went express to 34th street. Letting me off in front of Penn station .. home of the drunken irish commuter... Calgon take me away!!!!!
