Sharpening the Blade, Keen are my Senses:

The Plan:

Well dear reader, since I am not basking on sun drenched beaches as was my first plan, I will be in the rust belt community enjoying the finest it has to offer in the way for the celebration of Irish heritage. Yes, I will be on a pub crawl that will start at around 8 AM and end when the last man falls.

As a result, I will not be posting on the holyday of the Feast of St. Patrick. Rest assured brothers and sisters, I will have one in your honor, and since there are a great many of you, I am sure to be shit-faced drunk sooner than later. So, that being said, I wish you and you’re a very violent and inebriated day filled with sex and passion, because come Friday morning we will all be praying for both forgiveness and mercy.
