| So, tell us.... how do you REALLY feel? It's emotions like yours, clear statements such as that, which really serve to keep us from getting into an emotional and intellectual dead-end. Thanks for the reality check! SAOIRSE |

Renaissance Festivals |
| Written by Patrick. (05/01-2003) |
| In america, there are so many "Renaissance fesivals" throughout our summers. Most of them are found out in the woods slightly off the beaten path. The air is filled with song and dance. Everyone is welcome and alot of people come dressed traditionally. I had always dreamed of joining one of these festivals as a poet. I guess thats why they call them "dreams". The truth is, I really stink at writing. Visiting these festivals, you meet many TRUE IRISH people. The laughter, the dance, and the sounds of the flute is indeed good for the soul. The stories told, the laughter in their eyes, and the true good hearted spirit that is in every Irish man and woman is quite abundant. Its as close to Ireland as I will be for awhile. I do however, picture a day, maybe not that awful far in the future, where Brian, Ryan, and Charlotte meet in a pub and have their picture taken toasting Patrick in the states with a pint of guiness. That picture would hang proudly above the fireplace hearth. I apologize for sidetracking. The gist of this, is that I am not a poet, nor a good author. My heart is in the right place, but lack what I need to put it to words. I guess my "creativity" is in what I do with houses. Designing and building peoples dreams, turning their homes into their "castles". I will gladly post your quotes and stories and look forward to everyones input. Patrick |
Michael Collins |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (05/01-2003) |
| Though my thought is that is isn't particularly helpful to hand-pick historic events for support of a view (it takes away from the focus on the root issue), there are a few extremely prominant people and actions in our past. Michael Collins, and the advancements that occurred in his time as a result of his methods and the activits of his time (i.e. De Valera, et al), was a huge figure with untold impact. This is an intersting site, with helpful history. There were a couple of links with it, but I haven't explored them. http://members.cruzio.com/~sbarrett/mcollins.htm |
The Heart and Soul of Our Ireland |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (05/01-2003) |
| Some of us have very personal, first-hand experiences in Ireland which keep her near and dear to our hearts. Some of us have parents, grandparents and even friends from the old sod. Regardless, we have all got or heard some terrific stories, some very warm memories of people, places and things that happened in Ireland, when emigrating, or even in the new life in a new country. It'd be nice to see a page, Patrick, where we all could share warm memories, quotes and stories of our Ireland, our families, our heritage. What do you think? Might this be real special? Great to have the nationalism, the grit teeth of the Irish clearly demonstrated. I'd love to see the warm heart and gift of the tongue, the poet that is in each Irishman.... love to see it demonstrated on a page. Your thoughts, Patrick? Brian |
Links Page, Patrick |
| Written by GalwayGaelic. (05/01-2003) |
| Hey Patrick, When you list a specific link, many times the alpha of the link doesn't indicate it's contents. Thus, the potential reader may not realize the link is of interest. Is there a way, perhaps in parentheses next to the link, to give the reader an indication of what the site is about? Just a suggestion. Coming along great! |

| Brian, As I read over many of the wonderful things that you have written, I scratch my head trying to put your text into my own words. This is where the problem starts. You have such a great way of puting things to verse that I cannot "better the best". I sincerely hope you dont mind that I reproduce them word for word. Patrick |

Then he stepped to an irishman: - Hey, Paddy, do you know that your St.Patrick was a wanker? - Possibly. - And do you know that he was a poof? - Possibly. - But do you know that St. Patrick was an englishman? - Ah, now I see what you've ment before... |
