Happy Easter to my Peeps!
Happy St. Patty’s Day and Leprechaun Spotting
Its that time a year again to get your drink on!!! Of course 34.5 million Americans claim Irish decent, however, there’s only 4+ million Irish living in Ireland now…
St. Patty’s is the largest (drinking) holiday of the year and typically conjures stories of the luck o’ the Irish and leprechauns as everyone goes out in their green (or not, for those that like to get pinched). According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes – and smell like cabbage. They also possess a hidden pot of gold. And today we have some modern day treasure hunters as some folks in Mobile, Alabama have spotted a leprechaun and are looking to take his gold – Gimmie the loot!!! Check out the vid below and keep an eye out for the sketch and holla when you think you’ve spotted em! You know what to do with gold when you catch em right?!
Gung Hei Fat Choy – Year of the Dog
Last Sunday the Law and I went down to Chinatown for the New Year’s Day Firecracker Ceremony & Culture Festival on south Mott. This year we meandered around the side streets, trying to avoid any crowds on Canal ST and participated in the dragon shows, drumming and cheered with the firecrackers. You would think from the shots below that the umbrellas were out because of the confetti but no this year it was a wet dog celebration.
That’s right, this lunar year, is the Year of the Dog and like “man’s best friend”, Dogs are known for loyalty and generosity. However, according a Dragon friend, the year of the dog is an unlucky for those born in the year of the Dragon. They try to stay out of the stripclubs, poker rooms and lay low for the year.
I’m born in the Year of the Rabbit, which in Chinese culture typically means I’m articulate, talented, and ambitious. Rabbits are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. We are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky (oh I hope so!). Rabbits are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. We are clever at business and being conscientious, and never back out of a contract. And apparently we rabbits make good gamblers as we have the uncanny gift of choosing the right number, card, roll of the dice etc.. However, seldom do we actually use our fortune, and I’ve used the excuse before, that I’m too conservative and wise for it, so it must be true! For the most part this is true (but with any astrological reading you can find some truths).
Here’s a short clip of the celebration (Clip: NYC Lunar New Year 19 sec)
