War of the Buttons

To keep this Irish theme going once again I wanted to post another movie I re- watched on Tuesday. It is called War of the Buttons and was made in 1994. I love this movie and how it shows these kids childhood and what they use to do. The characters are great, the acting is natural, the scenery is beautiful but why wouldn't it be it's Ireland. Everything about this movie is great, your happy when the characters are happy and sad and angry when they are. The kids do a wonderful job and the grownups are amazing as well but this is a movie about the kids. This movie really shows you what their childhood was like in Ireland and how they figure out who they can really trust and be friends with.



Here's a photo from the movie that shows just some of the beautiful scenery.


And of course I can't forget to include my two favorite Irish lads once again!! ;D

The Secret of Roan Inish

To keep up with my Irish theme that I have going on I wanted to post about an Irish movie that I love to death. It is called The Secret of Ronan Inish and is a beautiful story. That makes us believe that anything is possible no matter if other people called it just a myth. The people in this movie to a wonderful job playing their characters. The music is just lovely and it is shot amazingly. This has got to be one of my favorite movies and it is great for all ages to see and enjoy. I wanted to post the trailer on here so that everyone could take a look and see what they think of it.



Here are some more amazing photos from the movie!





And as a bonus why not have two photos of my favorite Irish lads Murphy and Connor, the MacManus twins!!

Dropkick Murphys

Oh, how true this statement is! ;D

Dropkick Murphys is one of my favorite Irish bands. This week I have been feeling my Irish roots more then usual. I am part Irish and proud of it and love everything Irish. I would love to travel to Europe, and would want to spend a lot of time in Ireland. Below are two songs by Dropkick Murphys that I really can't get enough of.





Also, can't forget to add some photos of my two favorite Irish lads. Murphy and Connor MacManus from The Boondock Saints!!








What I wouldn't do to have these two take me on a tour through Ireland!! ;D

St. Patty's Day!!!!

Hey everyone, the weather today was so amazing, not to hot not to cold. Just the perfect weather and it was nice and sunny out. Today was a good day, I had three classes today and only had a little bit of homework to do for tonight. The classes went by really quick and it was great that favorite professor at college was a substitue for one of my classes. It was nice to see her again and it is so cool that is is going to be my new advisor at my college. She is truly one of the coolest teacher I have ever had and I had some pretty cool teacher in the past. Anyway today was one of my favorite holdiays ever and it comes two days after my birthday which is great and a lot of my friends have their birthday today which is awesome. Plus I am half Irish which I love being and find Ireland to be a beautiful place with awesome history as well as a place that I would love to visit or live there for a little. My dad stopped by my college and brough me a cornbeef sandwich and clam cowder for dinner. He also got me irish potatoes, truffles, and some licorce that are shaped like the pipes you smoke which is pretty firckin' awesome. ;D I also watched the Boondock Saints movies today, how I LOVE my Boondock Saints. What I wouldn't do to have Connor and Murphy be real people, they are just too awesome and would so be my best friends. I just love the movies and the characters so much and I hope they can make more and continue the story. My St. Patty's Day was pretty awesome and I can't wait until tomorrow night when I get to go back home for the weekend! ;D I get early weekends since I have no classes on Firdays and my house is only 15 minutes aways from my college so I go home every weekend to take a break from college life and such. Plus I like it better at home but it is nice to have sometime on my own. I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patty's Day!! :D



I REALLY DO LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH THAT I THINK IT IS UNHEALTHY BUT OH WELL! LOL :D
