And I'm the one with the problem...

So this weekend was the self spawned drinking holiday down here known as State Patty's day. It all started 3 years ago when the university scheduled spring break over Saint Patrick's day to try to avoid the drunken debauchery of a party school on a party day. It was a giant screw you to the administration that year but it has now become as commercialized as any other student created tradition here, think the "White Out", Paternoville, and THON. Now every shop in town is making shirts to sell to celebrate the occassion. I mean there were ads on the radio discussing the State Patty's day weekend! What happened to the true meaning of the day, screw the man lets get wasted? Anyways I have no problem with the occasional drink or twelve but I guess I don't get the reasoning behind the drink yourself to sleep Friday night, wake up for Kegs 'n Eggs at 8am and then continue drinking the green beverage of choice until it runs dry or you hit the ground. At some point the beer just tastes like water only it hurts a whole hell of alot more the next day, ask my roommate. I left for a ride at 10am and town was already nuts, I came back 6hrs later and it looked like a football weekend, atleast I know why the bars want to keep the holiday alive.... Road season starts next weekend which means I will finally have a better excuse than working out and the never ending pile of school work as to why I am not wearing shamrock boxers over my jeans and the obligatory giant hat.
