Stop wearing green. Stop thinking you are Irish. Odd's are, you aren't.
Take if from a person named Sloan (the Galeic word for 'warrior') Duffy (an Irish/Scottish clan) Seaman (ok.. no Irish there).
I say I'm Irish, but really, I'm only 33%. So, I'm not Irish.
And neither are you.
If you were born in Ireland or both your parents and their parents are from Ireland then yes, you are Irish. Otherwise you are something else. I'm american. Odds are, so are you.
I've been to Ireland, more than once, and I can tell you, I didn't see a god damn shamrock unless it was a tourist trap. The only things that was green was the grass and that is only because it rains there as much as it does here.
No one drinks green beer over there. And Guinness is now owned by Diagio which owns, well, just about every company that makes something with alcohol in it so even Guinness is no longer Irish.
Why do you think it's in every bar now. It's all about the money with Guinness now. Hell, you can even buy Guinness shit at Spencers. You know, right beside the Budweiser shit.
If you want to be Irish I want to see you have a real Irish breakfast with blood pudding and follow it with a shot of real Irish whiskey. Then, talk like the Pikey Mickey from Snatch and maybe, maybe you will pass for Irish.
Otherwise shove the green shit up your ass and put down the green beer and realize that, to quote someone else, America is just another spot on the Irish map of world conquest.
