Happy St Patrick's Day

I do feel that perhaps my writing tone this time round might be a tad bit less chirpy and cheerful as per the previous posts, so do excuse me for my un-whoopedeedoo style today. I enjoy St Pat's day, just that we did have a small family emergency on Wednesday past, and it's all good now so let's not dither on the matter. Or, for those who are aware of what happened, mention the specifics . 

I have added respect for novelists and cartoonists who have to churn out humourous material day in day out, despite the going-ons in their personal lives. It reminds me of this anecdote I came across in the past:

'This man was feeling depressed, and went to see his psychiatrist since nothing he did or tried could cheer him up.
His shrink said,"Taking meds aren't the answer. Tell you what, go watch this performance by Bozo the Clown. Even at this time and age, he's the best at cheering people up!"
" That's sort of the issue, Doc. You see, I am Bozo the Clown." The man replied.'

At a point in my life, I felt I was a bit like him. Always being the funny one but never the one to be really happy inside. Came across this in my facebook notes section. That post was from 2009, think maybe at that time I just broke up with my gf.

So I've decided this post might have less humour and comedy in it, pardon my search descriptions. Way to bum people out on a TGIF huh. Good thing I dun actually have many readers and followers to bum out.

For those of you still actually reading, good on you. As mentioned, it's St Patrick's day!

So it's that time of the year again, where wee little green men roam the streets (via posters) looking for their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Or more likely, a pint of Guinness at the end of the bar. Bring out your Leprechaun hats and other paraphernalia, and party the night away.

Unlike other years, this is probably a night where my liver breathes a heavy sigh of relief and doesn't have to worry too much about me tanking more than 2 pints the whole night. I should be on my way home by 8pm on this TGIF. Rare even for an event-less Friday. Damn I'm so dry I'm putting myself to sleep writing this.

Anyways, I'm also only drinking because of the Guinness giveaway, where Guinness SG gave out 20,000 pints for those who registered. Which I obviously did. If you didn't, then ha ha.

I'm just wondering should I join a group of acquaintances and mingle for a bit, or just drink alone and be all moody and black-faced to kill the mood of all the other happy drinkers around me. Tough choice... 

To conclude, this might be the most boring post of mine so far, even worse than the very first attempt at writing. I sincerely apologise, and hope that business will resume next week. Heck, I even saved a couple of memes from The TrollerCoaster that was to be used to provide more rip-roaring belly laughter. Ok that's exaggerating. A quiet chuckle maybe.

Signing off,
KJ
