Lucky 600!

This is my 600th post on Superfluous Pics and Thoughts.

Today is St. Patrick's Day.

Those are two facts, combined I would think this should be a celebration post. I suppose it is a reason to celebrate, 600 post is a lot of posts. Most of them are pictures of my beers that I drank years ago. Beers that I loved for those ten minutes and then moved on to the next one. Disgracing the empty glass for a brand new one.

St. Patrick's day was about the same theme I suppose. Only I see more green plastic cups being tossed into the garbage after one use.

Taking pictures of the beer I am about to drink may be the dumbest past time that I have. But how else am I going to show off how excited I am for the drink I am about to consume. When I look at that picture the next day I can smile and see the beginning of whatever happened that night. When I look at that picture in the next couple of years after that I just see another in many nights that started with a beer.

My lady and myself have taken the steps to have a traditional american Irish meal for tonight. We cut potatoes and cabbage this morning and placed that in the slow cooker with the corned beef. Set the timer for 10 hours and went to work. There is a Guinness case in the fridge that will be opened tonight during the festivities. Maybe i will wear a funny green hat while I drink the Guinness and eat the corned beef and cabbage. Maybe not.

I think the Irish tradition is a good one to keep going with. Tasty food and beer seems like something i can get behind. Just having a tradition is something that is appealing. This is not some new idea to do something you like and then annualize it so you can do it again. I guess people need an excuse to have some fun, or to get together with friends.

I haven't heard of anyone just having a party because they want to have a party (except college). There always has to be a shoe horned idea behind the party. Luckily there are plenty of reasons people can use for a party; birthdays, holidays, new house, new baby, new marriage, anniversaries, selling house, camping, new movie, sporting event, television event, fundraiser, and when those don't fit a good costume party can come into play.

Well today is my 600th post party, which happens to be on St. Patrick's day. I am going to assume every Guinness that is drank today is for my blog's 600th post. Congratulations blog and congratulations me!
