Just before I left my parents' house, I told myself I was going to live the most adventurous life imaginable. No matter what. There's a neat quote that says something like ...
Life's journey is not to arrive to the grave safely in a well-preserved body,
but rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting HOLY SHIT... What a ride!
I'm 33 years old, but I feel like I've lived through three or four lifetimes' worth of insanity. In this book, I share with you how I moved to Cincinnati by hopping on an Amtrak train with about $800 in my pocket, then sleeping on a hardwood floor, being left for dead on the street, to eventually being the mascot for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball. The crazy thing about it all? That's only half of it.
My ancestors are from Ireland, my family is from the Bronx, and I've been somewhat of a nomad until recently. I wrote a story about my life's circumstances that I believe will resonate with those who are going through a rough time, but also make you laugh the entire way through.
One of my goals in life is to step foot inside every Irish Pub in America, so I figured I'd fill you in on that journey throughout the story. I've included articles about each Pub I've entered so far (100 of them). Each article tells you what I thought about the Pub, how they pour their Guinness, and whether or not the place has any Craic. Yes, this book is about Irish Pubs, but there's so much meat and potatoes attached to it. I honestly don't know if you'll believe it all. I guess we'll find out.
