St Paddy's day and I'm so confused |
|
You know, I trace my heritage to england, germany, ireland and to the american indian, cherokee, so does that make me anything except american, my granddad was a union soldier in the us civil war for crying out loud.

Though it does matter where you are and where you celebrate it.

13. My family came from Ireland |
|
but had shipping interests in Liverpool and a long history of finding spouses in foreign lands and bringing them home to Wexford. So I'm a mutt, too, even though the family withstood the potato famine and didn't leave for nearly 40 years afterward and considered themselves completely Irish.
I just look like hell in green.
