Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
To me, St. Patty’s Day is an interesting holiday. I’ve always had a thing for all things Irish, especially the accents. This year on Idol, we have a girl from Ireland, Carly Smithson and she is definitely full fledged Irish, so, I’m sure she’s celebrating today. Irish/Celtic music is also really neat. Here’s a link that has some information about St. Patrick and how the holiday got started.
There are also several actors and artists that are Irish that I’m sure are also celebrating today, including…
One of my favorite actors: Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Colin Farrell
U2
There are several actors from the Harry Potter movies that are Irish, which I didn’t know until now.

Check these guys out, they’re quite good, I think. They auditioned for American Idol this year but didn’t make it past the Top 50. Brandon and Drew post at an Idol message board that I visit a good bit and they’re so sweet. I’m sure Colton is just as sweet. All 3 are awesome guys and great singers. I hope they make it far in the music biz. Drew reminds me of some guys I went to high school with, the good ol’ country boy who likes the simple things in life. I love guys like that. Here are their myspaces, check out their music <3
