It might seem like I get side tracked all the time here. I get to write about various things which may or may not appear to be drink or sobriety related. I waffle on about my opinions on life and liberty. I try to get to the root of what drives us Irish, us people and indeed what causes us to remain so still, as is often the case.
Beyond The Drink
Free Leonard
Was walking to catch a local train here in San Fran and bumped into this guy. He was holding a placard up over a footbridge on a highway during evening rush hour traffic. He wanted to draw attention to the case of a native American who was charged with murdering 2 FBI agents in the 70’s.
Sober in Havana
Ok I am pushing out a new idea here. I wrote a load of poems in Cuba and I am going to put them together with some nice pretty pictures and put them together in an eBook. Hope to then have that here on the site for one and all to purchase??? Is that possible? Would somone pay .99c for 20 poems and pictures written by me? Who knows..but there is only on way to find out.
Are there second chances in life?
Today is the last day of my traveling for a few months. Tomorrow I fly to San Francisco where I will work hard on www.fivepointfive.org, live poker and of course Sober Paddy. When walking through the local town after breakfast, I was yabbering manically as the caffeine from my double espresso sifted trough my system. Second chances was my topic. Do you get them in life?
New Years Message
Happy New Year good people!
I was trying to review my year for each month, but it is too hard to cram everything into one blog. The last year has been sensational. Finished working for the man and now in Mexico after travelling overland through Venezuela, Colombia, most of Central America and Cuba. I have met some great people doing amazing things and I am really excited about what will happen in 2013.
Seasons Greetings from the Sober Paddy
I have been staying away from Sober Paddy for the last few weeks. My sobriety is good. In fact I will be sober for almost 3 years officially this Christmas. The blog has been going for the same amount of time and I have to say that starting this blog changed my life. If it were not for my public accountability I am sure I would have fallen off the wagon. If you were ever thinking about changing your life and going public, check out this great course starting at the end of January.
