Not everyone is an atheistic reprobate like you.

It's not what you think. He's just talking about the complexity of the Irish language.

Irish:
Person 1: Dia dhuit
Person 2: Dia is Muire dhuit
Useful Irish (Gaelic) phrases

compared to:
English:
Person 1: Hi
Person 2: mumbles something

Yeah well try nine years of learning the damn thing and see how you feel. Especially with no choice in the matter.

I guess based on our experience we think of it differently. The only exposure I have to it is in music. I kinda know what you mean, cause sometimes I hate the English language. MB's grammar police are always on me arse pointing out my mistakes. Even a few people here thought English was my second language — it's not, it's my first. I'm sorry you were tortures by it in school - could had been worse for you, it could had been Basque.

He updated his artist page on Facebook in September. Probably just going along with his life in a non-****storm heavy environment.

He used to have some pretty entertaining drug stories. I hope he's still doing mushrooms.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
