Music!...and some other stuff...

So, about this concert with Deep Purple I went to a couple of days ago...

This bothers me greatly, because there was nothing really wrong with the concert itself, they were brilliant. In fact, those old geezers beat out most modern act by a fair margin, they seriously rocked like all hell.

But the problem, see, was the opening act. They were some kind of swedish rock band called Attack. The creepy thing about them was that they were pretending like we were all supposed to know them, acting like they weren't just a bunch of middle-aged creeps who were never any good in the first place, and clearly just got worse during the last 20 or so years.

Only funny thing about them was the drummer, because when the others left the stage and he just tried to fire up the crowd on his own, he did a much better job and everyone seemed more at ease without the three other idiots around.

Fortunately, the idiots finally abandoned their attempts to...do something or another, and left the stage clear for the arrival of the ones we actually bloody came to see! I mean, how fucking pretentious do you have to be to just stand there and waste the audience's time like Attack did?!

Anyway...

Let me tell you this; every single word your parents have ever said about just how brilliant Deep Purple are, out of which you believed absolutely nothing, is completely true. Sure, they are old, but they've aged much more gracefully than any of the other oldies, like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd.

Of course they included a whole line of classics; "Space Trucking", "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming", and my personal favourite "Wasted Sunsets" in an awesome rendition. I actually though that last one was too much to hope for, but I suppose I got lucky this one time, which will probably have some pretty severe repercussions in the future...

And christmas is drawing closer by the minute, so maybe me and my beloved can conjure up some christmas spirit this coming weekend. Myself, I feel that christmas is the most romantic time of the year, and guess what ghosts and ghouls, this year I have a girlfriend! Hell yeah!

Ehm...what was I saying? Oh, right, about christmas...

I think we can cook something up, and I have a feeling this'll all be a winter to remember, not just for me but for my very significant other as well.

In other news, the commonly held opinion about the accelerated global warming is simply a load of bullshit.

Y'know, this is exactly what I have been saying all along, literally. I have endured alot of crap because I have advocated a wait-and-see stance on the matter, and have urged those who make claims about global warming being a bomb ready to blow any second to actually look up the facts themselves instead of just saying "Oh, but any serious scientist agrees that...".

Well of-fucking-course they do, because you and every other idiot out there automatically considers any scientist who disagrees with the generally held opinion to be not serious!

Now people will instantly want to defend them, saying this is just a situation involving a few rogue scientists and nothing that affects the bigger picture. Here's the problem with it; it fucking does affect the bigger picture.

Most people drawing conclusions on the subject are doing so based on hearsay; they've heard someone say something about some unclear figures, and they are basing their opinions on that. A smaller category of people are the ones who have actually looked at those figures themselves and draw conclusions based on them, not on hearsay about the figures.

At the top, however, we have a small clíque of scientists who actually gather and compile all the data that everyone else uses to draw their conclusions. It is these people who have been pulling the wool over the eyes of the general public by manipulating the numbers.

And this is naturally easy to do; we all like to think that "Numbers cannot lie!", which is true, numbers can in fact not lie.

People, however, have no problem whatsoever with lying. People can enter whatever numbers they like into the statistics, and the general public will trust those numbers to be accurate.

In this case, they weren't, time to own up to that fact!
