Ok where to start I guess Things have been bothering me a bit recently but for multiple reasons this time of year is kinda tough... It isn't like oh I'm thinking about this ... It is hard to explain but the Party was great thanks everyone (was not sure if I was going to make it for a bit ) it was a great time so just another thank you....

The Hospice walk there are some people who really get into and have teams and shirts with Pictures on them and team names and really go for it... There is no way I could do that but I give them props it is not a fun walk for me ... But this year there was not that sense of dread (I think the Party had a lot to do with that)

Now the Pictures I am posting are more about what I saw and they are on facebook as well ... But being by the water and seeing the monuments wait wrong term but means I don't need to go on Memorial day , not that I all ways go, .....

It really was a good Time thanks everyone .... Sometimes it takes a bit of time to warm up and take photos of people whom I don't know ... Hence why there are people who I missed but hope people like the pictures .....







































Again it was a great time and I enjoyed talking with everyone Hope the pictures I took the other way line up right and that people like them and that others post photos but not sure if they are part of this site so ....

I could not post live phone would not connect not sure why

So I did go To The Parade for St. Pats Day .... And to be honest I had debated how to post about the Parade because I don't want to make a political post cause it kinda isn't worth it ... But how far should one go with it being a political post .... I'm still not sure so I guess what I will say is this and not connect it to anything .....

-I am Irish but I'm not like a lot of Irish People or Sterotype ones
--Not Really a fan of Irish Music Now it is pretty good when Morphed with like Punk or Metal or HardRock
--Food Wise I don't like Irish Food really No Corn Beef and Cabbage yuck Now I do like shepherd's Pie but I grew up with Beef not lamb that is the real way I guess
--I don't like beer not Green not Guiness
--I have had some good Jack Daniels but that is Tennessee not Irish Whisky and flavored version Never tried any brand of Irish Whiskey
--Never been to Ireland it would be cool to go but Not on the top of list so many other places maybe as part of a big tour would be fun
--Never been to South Buffalo or is that Old First Ward Parade

Now that being said though I like The Bag Pipes and Irish dancing is pretty cool .... And I love Shamrock Shakes ... And think the Parade is a lot of fun more a fan of watching then partaking But I also watch stuff on Sunday nights and wake up early on Mondays so that might be a factor... But I would love to get trashed :) have in past and it was a blast and yes I would like to some year check out a parade in another city and see where they turn the water green in person ....

Now That being said I love that on that one day a year everyone is Irish or maybe it is just in #Buffalo we turn everything into a drinking Holiday or add a drinking Element to every holiday :) I am Not offended , It doesn't bother me that people put on bad fake accents :) HA and that some people do the Notrde Dame Fighting Irish thing and use it as an excuse to drink and fight .... And years back when SNL came out with a bit about a CD or Irish Fighting songs I laughed my ass off .... Hey everyone becomes Italian a little bit (or maybe I'm just a west sider ) for the festival ... Some people become Polish for some time at Dyngus day.... I think it is great ... Ok so some photos ......


















































I tried to get photos that covers the scene But it is kinda tough to do or is beyond my level ..... Think you have to be a Pro then you can like walk up to people and get the scene ? was a fun time though

-P.S.

I do not know if it has been an Issue and didn't hear about it this year in the News in Buffalo or about NYC or Boston it was that you could be gay and that was fine but you could not be a gay cause ... I disagree ... I think that if you are Irish and You have a group then it is fine to be in the Parade .... But I kinda get that they don't want it to turn into a Pride Parade and that there are a lot of traditional values But if you can have Iron Makers and Unions and fire trucks why can't you gays being out in the Parade.... That would be fine... Again I have no idea if that was ever an issue in Buffalo though ......
