Yesterday was saint Patrick's day and I come from a really Irish and Scottish background (like you can't tell from my name lol) so my family is huge on saint Pat's. last week me and my family drove down to Georgia to meet my aunt and cousins to celebrate, during that time I flew a plane which was crazy but I also went down to this one college to watch my aunt preform traditional Irish music, with flutes and bagpipes and shit. I also went to her bar/brewing spot "River watch brewery" and she played a bit there too. I recently learned she's closing up the brewery, the nail in the coffin and the main reason she has to is because some rich guy came up and made another brewery (extremely) close to hers with a name that's basically hers if you switch the words around. it was her and her husband's dream and a staple of my mom's side of our family, so I hate seeing them being pushed out like this. Before I went to Georgia, I just thought of myself as an American. Same as everybody, but when I was down there I felt a strange sense of belonging if that makes sense by being close to family and people like me. I'll admit, I'm a fan. It does make me really sad though that the brewery is closing down. We'll all be fine though, That's just life lol.
Also I really enjoyed doing serious news posts so I might do more of these if I feel like it
