To the Irish!

It turns out that, including me, many of my group of friends are making their first forays into the blogging universe, either now or just a couple of months ago...
It raises a topic that was discussed the other day by my friend Paul in his vlog ( Check it out here, its awesome). Irish peoples on the blogo/vlogo-sphere (try saying that five times fast), are you out there? We'd like a bit more noise from you!
The Irish conscience though, being what it is, is not always partial to share how it feels with the wider world. Encounter an Irish person and ask how they are, even your best friend will, 99 percent of the time, only use the word "grand". It's just what we do. As a nation, most families are no more than two generations from the farm, and that means kids are still raised with the 'Keep your head down and stay quiet' mentality. The current crop of teenagers though is freeing itself of those shackles, and has taken it's first few steps into the global community.
So if you are an Irish blogger out there, don't be afraid! Your people are joining you. If you ain't Irish, but still reading this, then hear us. We have arrived. And we brought the Guinness.

A couple of links to my friends out there :
Paul's blog and vlog (again)
Hannah's blog (The best pure writer among us)
Chris' blog
David's blog (If it ever gets updated again)
Millie's vlog

Over and out.
