If anyone is suffering from depression, heart-break, migraines, rhumatism, or arthritis, all you've gotta do is read this thread from the very beginning. It also works for certain mental defects such as agnosticism, atheism, and lack of faith.
That's it, just read the preceding eleven pages attentively and you will soon be groovin. If you don't believe me all you've gotta do is try it.

That site is mad cool! Irish names are my favorite.

Which ones are your favorite? Fiona has always been one of my favourite Irish names. There are too many other cool names to list. :)

Lol, I've always loved that name too. And Kathleen, too.

For boys I like Eamon, Patrick, Sean, Kevin, and Michael, among others. (Not all are Irish names, but they are among the most common names given to people of Irish descent)

I feel like posting a better version of the song a posted before. A more solemn Gaelic version.

[b]Bríd Óg Ní Mháille [/b]

Bríd Óg Ní Mháille
Is a Bhríd Óg Ní Mháille
'S tú d'fhág mo chroí cráite
'S chuir tú arraingeacha
An bháis fríd cheartlár mo chroí
Tá na céadta fear i ngrá
Le d'éadan ciúin náireach
Is go dtug tú barr breáchtacht'
Ar Thír Oirghiall más fíor

Níl ní ar bith is áille
Ná'n ghealach os cionn a' tsáile
Ná bláth bán na n-airne
Bíos ag fás ar an draighean
Ó siúd mar bíos mo ghrá-sa
Níos trilsí le breáchtacht
Béilín meala na háilleacht'
Nach ndearna riamh claon

Is buachaill deas óg mé
'Tá triall chun mo phósta
'S ní buan i bhfad beo mé
Mura bhfaighidh mé mo mhian
A chuisle is a stóirín
Déan réidh agus bí romhamsa
Cionn deireanach den Domhnach
Ar Bhóithrín Dhroim Sliabh

Is tuirseach 's brónach
A chaithimse an Domhnach
Mo hata 'mo dhorn liom
'S mé ag osnaíl go trom
'S mé ag amharc ar na bóithre
'Mbíonn mo ghrá-sa ag gabhail ann
'S í ag fear eile pósta
Is gan í bheith liom

[b]Translation[/b]

Oh Bríd Óg O'Malley
You have left my heart breaking
You've sent the death pangs
Of sorrow to pierce my heart sore
A hundred men are craving
For your breathtaking beauty
You're the fairest of maidens
In Oriel for sure

No spectacle is fairer
Than moonbeams on the harbor
Or the sweet scented blossoms
Of the sloe on the thorn
But my love shines much brighter
In looks and in stature
That honey-lipped beauty
Who never said wrong

I'm a handsome young fellow
Who is thinking of wedlock
But my life will be shortened
If I don't get my dear
My love and my darling
Prepare now to meet me
On next Sunday evening
On the road to Drum Slieve

'Tis sadly and lonely
I pass the time on Sunday
My head bowed in sorrow
My sights heavy with woe
As I gaze upon the byways
That my true love walks over
Now she's wed to another
And left me forlorn

Theologian in Training

Something that seems to be haunting me lately, is the San Patricio Brigade. I just saw a movie on it over the weekend, and we just learned a little more about it today in my American Christianity class.

For those of you who don't know, the San Patricio Brigade, or St. Patrick's brigade, was a bunch of Irish immigrants that were originally with the Americans on the Mexican-American war, defected because there faith was put in jeapoardy, and fought with the Mexicans, only for 80 of them to be hanged as traitors.

Interesting story.
