Gettin Lucky...

Well, well,St.Patty's day has come again, and I bet all over the Chicago area (and many other places across the country as well) many folks took that as the annual call to don a green sports jersey and flat cabbie hat, do themselves up with Axe or Tag body spray, primp their hair just right and proceed to get sh*tfaced while proudly running their 15% Irish heritage (their grandpa's dad came over on the boat, you know) up the flagpole and cop a brogue after 12 beers.  These same folks hugging each other and saying cute things like "Erin Go Bragh!" will undoubtedly be acting like a bunch of ass-clowns in 4 hours' time, starting fights, exchanging "hard looks" and bumping chests.

Give me a freaking break.  All I have to say is "Thank God that madness is over."

I'm not knocking on anyone's heritage at all; I love Irish folk music and bagpipes (I can take or leave Guinness, though) I just find it comical that so many people spend so much time in preparation just to get completely wasted.
A major part of of ANY St.Patty's Day bar scene/party will undoubtedly fall back to "getting lucky" (no pun intended) - as in "Dude, that girl is hot-dude, I want to get lucky tonite...dude, think i got a chance at getting lucky?"

The best definition I have ever heard of LUCK is as follows: 
"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity."

Think about that for a sec-

If someone attacks you and you have PREPARED through proper training (physical, mental,emotional and psychological) when the OPPORTUNITY  arises, your odds of successfully removing yourself from danger, either through employing attacks that are SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE and PRACTICALto their vital targets, verbal diffusion / de-escalation (all of which we teach - and then some- in our White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study Course) or by simply removing yourself from a potentially hazardous area before anything happens by listening to your gut, you will indeed get "LUCKY."

May I leave you with a modified Irish blessing a la Bobby:

"May you be in your home a half an hour before the scumbag who attacks you wakes up in the parking lot."
