Robert's Gaelic and Irish Phrases:
"Grant me a sense of humor, Lord, the saving grace to see a joke, To win some happiness from life, and pass it on to other folks. From the great Gales of Ireland are the men that God made mad, for all their wars are merry and all their songs are sad!"
"Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one!"
"Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all that we will know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and I sigh.
--William Butler Yeats"
Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
-Author Unknown-
Irish blessing:
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.
" Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking.
If you cheat, may you cheat death.
If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart.
If you fight, may you fight for a brother.
And if you drink, may you drink with me."
May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two,
May the sun always shine on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain,
May the hand of friend always be near you,
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Out of Ireland have we come
Great hatred, little room.
W.B. Yeats
Pity is the feeling which arrests the mond in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human suffering and unites it with the human suffers. - James Joyce
The old believe everything: the middle-aged suspect everything: the young know everything. - Oscar Wilde
The Irish National Anthem
Soldier's Song
We'll sing song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come from a land beyond
the wave. Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song.
Chorus
The Proclamation of the Irish Government
Robert's Opinion of Irish Independence
On July 1, 1997, the whole world saw a remarkable event that happen in Hong Kong. The British government hands over Hong Kong back to China. People like me were amazed how the British found it a very noble act they had perform. They seemed to find it very easy to turn Hong Kong over communist China.
At the same token, I've noticed how hard the British find it to accept the idea of a united Ireland. They make the argument that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to stay under the British crown. This is true only because the British have stuffed the ballot box by forcing native Irish Catholics out of their comminutes and replacing them with immigrating British Protestants over the last 600 to 700 years.
We American see television and newspaper reports of IRA attacks on British soldiers and police officers. Only in recent years have atrocities of the Ulster Defense Force (British loyalists) and the British army come to light. For American to understand the struggles of the Irish people, we need to look to our own history when we as Americans were forced to kill British soldiers to gain our independence. So now, only the time and place have changed.
Next time when people like us read or see an account of an IRA attack, take a closer look. It is a battle for independence.

MY BIO
Dear People,
My friends call me "Sparky". Why do they call me that? It is simple because of my deafness. I was born deaf in a mysterious way that the doctors don't know why. In fact, I am proud to be deaf. What do I look like? I have brown eyes and hair. I weigh about 135 pounds. I am about five feet and eight inches tall. "Sparky" enjoys reading the newspaper, books about politics, baseball, and Ireland. I also enjoy dancing, listening to music, chatting with his friends, watching movies, and also looking for fun stuff on the Internet. Right now, I am working in the University Computing and Communication under User Support Services. I am a Computer Lab Assistant at the Library at the University of New Orleans. I am a Political Science major and a history minor.I also have a BIG MOUTH! So you have to be careful of what you said around me because you never know what happens next. Any comment about my life? Just e-mail me and I will answer right back.

MY BIO
Dear People,
My friends call me "Sparky". Why do they call me that? It is simple because of my deafness. I was born deaf in a mysterious way that the doctors don't know why. In fact, I am proud to be deaf. What do I look like? I have brown eyes and hair. I weigh about 135 pounds. I am about five feet and eight inches tall. "Sparky" enjoys reading the newspaper, books about politics, baseball, and Ireland. I also enjoy dancing, listening to music, chatting with his friends, watching movies, and also looking for fun stuff on the Internet. Right now, I am working in the University Computing and Communication under User Support Services. I am a Computer Lab Assistant at the Library at the University of New Orleans. I am a Political Science major and a history minor.I also have a BIG MOUTH! So you have to be careful of what you said around me because you never know what happens next. Any comment about my life? Just e-mail me and I will answer right back.
The Next Sinn Fein President?

The Irish National Anthem
Soldier's Song
We'll sing song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come from a land beyond
the wave. Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song.
Chorus
The Proclamation of the Irish Government
Robert's Opinion of Irish Independence
On July 1, 1997, the whole world saw a remarkable event that happen in Hong Kong. The British government hands over Hong Kong back to China. People like me were amazed how the British found it a very noble act they had perform. They seemed to find it very easy to turn Hong Kong over communist China.
At the same token, I've noticed how hard the British find it to accept the idea of a united Ireland. They make the argument that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to stay under the British crown. This is true only because the British have stuffed the ballot box by forcing native Irish Catholics out of their comminutes and replacing them with immigrating British Protestants over the last 600 to 700 years.
We American see television and newspaper reports of IRA attacks on British soldiers and police officers. Only in recent years have atrocities of the Ulster Defense Force (British loyalists) and the British army come to light. For American to understand the struggles of the Irish people, we need to look to our own history when we as Americans were forced to kill British soldiers to gain our independence. So now, only the time and place have changed.
Next time when people like us read or see an account of an IRA attack, take a closer look. It is a battle for independence.
