There is no better way to describe the long term effects of Irish Catholicism than the fact I just walked round-trip 5 miles to the Dollar Tree to buy my favorite energy drink for $1.25 a can because I didn’t want to loose my parking space that was extremely close to my apartment building.
There is just something about that Irish Catholic determination to walk for miles to get a drink to make you happy, even if it’s 9pm and it’s going to leave you with calluses.
