Everything Gaelic (with a small separatist take)

Hello All. I just got back from a fun filled day shopping for a gift for a friend... well I bought stuff myself too. Though I went to jumma first. Meet up with a guy from work and his sun that are considering Islam and had lunch with a nice cupel. I was beaten to the bill (Thank you for lunch). My kitty just came to sit with me. So now I am at home after stopping off at work to pick up my employ card. Lucky I went cuz I found out there was a staff screening of Monsters vs. Aliens tonight. So now I am getting down to the post I have been putting off for the last week almost. 

I read online some time ago that there is a Scottish Gaelic Qu'ran being made. Witch I think is way cool. It seems in the last few years that Scottish Gaelic is fighting back ageist the english domination for lack of a better word. Now I know that Scottish Gaelic is mostly a Highlands thing seeing as Scots is spoken more readily in the lowlands. But Gaelic has hard a harder time within the English rule. Yes I am a Scottish separatist (300 years... Its gota work one of these days. Though the Bloody English government made that law-ish to keep the scottish oil from the scottish, well make it harder to get. But yes back to my mane subject.) Where was I? Um oh yes. In the last few years Gaelic in scotland has been making a comeback. As of 2005 it has been put back into scottish schools. The Scottish Have been given there Own parliament ... though it still answers to the English. There is no point of saying UK. Cuz its really the English that control the rest not like the little old chunk of Ireland there holing onto is making any calls. This is tearing more separatist then Gaelic...Back to Gaelic. Along with Getting Scottish notes in the Bank There is now BBC ALBA a Scottish Gaelic TV channel. You may ask yourself Why is it AlBA? Well that is the name of Scotland in Gaelic. There are even all Gaelic school that have been set up. In 2007 there was a grate movie (SEACHD) that was put out in all Gaelic that was meet with grate ac-lame, But when it can time for the Oscars the England based group that nominates movies said that "they did not have any worthy non-english language films". Witch the Oscer people in the USA asked them Why they where not putting that movie in (some even demanded it). The UK group was made to open a panel to discus the idea of putting the movie in but they still desided it was not "Worthy" so they left they category blank. It ended with the director of the movie renouncing his membership with the film bord. There seems to be a fear in some groups that there lousing control of Scotland. Witch I reply "you should be". Though I would never go IRA on them. Lets hope that the movie the Stone of Destiny makes it into the Oscars. When do the Oscars happen? The Film SEACHD is about a Boy that visits his grandfather that is drying in the hospital and remembers the past and try's to figure out his parents deaths. The Song at the end always gets me. But Yes Gaelic is making a comeback in a good way. Yay Oh a little fact that I read is that at last count there was only 2 people left that only spoke scottish Gaelic (in there 90's I think). And there is only 18 letter in the alphabet! Here is a Link for Scottish Gaelic Lang info. 

(100% hala for thoughs that do not lessen to anything other then singing)

Start with Kilts end with Music!

Hello Everyone again, haha it is funny saying "everyone" when no one has even read this blog. Oh sorry, 1 person has read it, you know who you are :P. As of late Scotland has come up in conversation many times in the last week-ish. Mostly to do with music and kilt, or more to the matter men in kilts. Now i have heard countless people call them skirts. There not. You where nickers under a skirt and as many of you out there know scottish men seem to have a thing for going commando. Though at time it would seem a wise idea too. But back to my point. As I see it there is nothing more manly then a kilt.  well a stubbly beard, Oh a good business suit.... Oh I'm way off topic here. Yes besides kilts there has been talk of bagpipe music. Now i have heard it all "it sounds like a dead cat with a pipe stuck up its bum"  well there are more that is just my favorite one. Now as a person that likes bagpipe music and is learning to play the bagpipe (its halal) I feel the need to vindicate this wonderful music. There are some vary good bands out there. One that comes to mind is a traditional modern group called Albannach. All you wont to do when you hear there music (that is 100% halal) is stand up grab your claymore and dance all night. Well maybe not dance with a claymore, I do not wont to be seeing lots of people walking around missing bits. It is vary easy to cut someone even if it is blunted. I have more then once, But that was in fencing class and they blocked with there arm as I went in for a strike. It was an accident, but boy does it scare you the first time. I think i spent all class saying sorry to her. Where was i again? Ah yes, Good bagpipe music. There is also a rock band that has used them a few times called Dropkick Murphys out of Boston (rock group). I will post some links. Mmh I wonder if the Kilt Lifters (ska) use bagpipes? I... can't remember. With a name like that you would assume. I will have to find my CD. Pleas note that the last two bands I have mentioned are not ummm what you would call angles... ya. Now from this you may think that Im only into rock/punk/ska. That is not the case. I all so like reggae and many many others. ....though not country. There is only so much a person can take! I mean really talk about a pipe up a dead cats bum. Sorry, I did say I liked that one.  Oh I should also add in Needfire into that. They are Celt rock group. Oh look at the time I'm off to bed. Bye oh and I somehow added this background colour and can't get rid of it. haha. Here is the Albannach link. And Dropkick Murphys link.
