St patrick’s day blues

March 17, 2008

I have just been reminded that it is St Patrick’s Day and being that I work in a pub this is possibly the single worst day for me, I hate it when all the fake Irish descend upon my bar wanting to drink Guinness, when for the rest of the year they drink shandy’s or something equally as pointless, now let me qualify this by stating I have nothing against the Irish or indeed St Patrick, I just think that most people are moronic sheep who do what they do because the media tells them that this the thing to do.
It’s the same with most thing’s which are perceived as “fashionable” or “trendy” the only reason these thing’s get that status is because they are in your face 24/7, on the TV or in the Press, my favourite thing to hate is the Ipod, just look at the way it is advertised, they never tell you in the ads what the sound quality is like (which is rubbish) it’s advertised as a fashion accessory with funky white Silhouette dancing to the latest pop tune even the headphones are for fashion not function.
I’m very sorry not sure what happened there got a bit too serious, didn’t mean to rant like that, although after reading the Grumpy old man secret diary, I have realised that even tho technically I’m too young I am indeed a grumpy old man.

There is so much about the modern world which makes me angry I sometimes think my head will explode.
