Exciting Times !

Hello to anybody that reads this.Today is the 24th of march 2014. Here in Ireland it has been raining all Day, which comes as no surprise if you are Irish.Last Monday was St Patricks Day, they day where everybody is Irish, St Patrick was an early christian  saint from Britain who is celebrated as being the first person to bring Christianity to Ireland and for banishing snakes from Ireland. It is very unlikely that there was any snakes in Ireland to begin with !. "Snakes" was a methaphor for paganism which many experts believe. Anyway St Patricks Day is quite a unique event as it is one of the only national hoildays that is celebrated worldwide. Many famous landmarks around the world lit up green for the event.

What makes Ireland so great the other people have to celebrate our national Holiday ? I'm not sure. Recently I bought a book on Philosophy. I found it quite interesting and easy to understand, I also Bought The Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, which is a classic of the Ancient world, I find a little difficult to understand at times but nonetheless it is a great book. I haven't been posting anything on my blog recently as I was quite busy the last few weeks, But yeah this is my first blog entry in over a month I guess and I'm Pretty glad to to be writing it too. Typing is fun. Like really fun. Oh Yeah I just remembered on the 14th of march I went to see the stand up Comedian Tommy Tiernan who is one of the most successful comedians in Ireland, I was very impressed with his performance , it was also my first time ever going to a live stand up comedy event. The day After Ireland  bet France narrowly In the Rugby Union Six Nations Tournament. It was a great moment for the country and great timing too as  st patricks day was just 2 days Later !
