To the victor: The spoils!

Which "Victor"? I've got two in my group...

Fire at will! Why? What's Will done to upset you??


Sorry. Those right there; they were bad puns. Just felt like going there. =p

Soo... I now know that at least 3 people read these posts. Woot - My ravings are intriguing enough to attract attention! =']

Currently, I'm sat here, listening to The Buffalo Riot, covered in bits of old silicone sealant, and trying to get the motivation to go finish this day-long-curry I've made, and go out.
It's Naomi's birthday today; and everyone is going to Parr St studios, where Mr. Schofield will be playing once again. It should be fun. I hope it is, since I need something to cheer me up...
Even with having to arse about with this shower today, I've been in a good mood generally, but, as usual, facebook ruined the bliss that came from my ignorance. =[

Still; I've found some new music again today... This time, it's the Argentinian "Vicentico", with his eponymous album... I rather like it, plenty of South-American in there, as you may reasonably expect, with some Eastern influences in a couple of songs, and not a word of English lyrics, but enough feeling in the singing to convey the feeling of the tracks anyway. =]
The stand-out track is still "Se Despierta la Ciudad", it's got a lovely samba groove on the bass, and a superb guitar solo towards the end of the song. =D

Later:
Just home from Parr St. now. Was entertaining - I got to see Middley-Diddley again =] Didn't really pay much attention to the jazz tonight though *feels guilty*. Still, it was free entry, and since I have no money, it was the most entertainment I was likely to get.
And, of course, it was Naomi's birthday. ;]
I'm listening to "Whiskey in the Jar" - The Thin Lizzy version, of course... It's possibly my favourite rock song of all time, I have a secret crush on the guitar tone, and of course, it's an Irish rock band covering an Irish folk song. It's the first real "Rock" song I learnt the solo to, and I still love it LOADS today. =]
I was just thinking then - as is my wont... =p - and Politics sprung to mind... Now, I follow politics, in the broad sense of the word that regards the governing of the country, but I wonder: Do people ever actually understand what they're saying when they come out with things like; "Oh, I'm not interested in politics..."
If I may, I'd like to present you with this:

"Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic and religious institutions. It consists of "social relations involving authority or power" and refers to the regulation of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy."

I think that's as concise and clear a definition as you could want (Praise be to Wikipedia!). But look at it... "groups of people make collective decisions." Meaning, if you've ever had an argument with, or stated an opinion about, anyone in your group of friends, you've engaged in politics.
Governing the country is just the bigger picture! ;]

Anyroad...
Time to go watch Techno Viking, grab a hot chocolate, listen to DPU whilst playing Bejeweled Blitz... and Bed.
Ooh, the excitement of my life. =']

Au rev,
Tet x
