Ancient Culture Neglected

Okay, I know it. Dead culture is no culture, at least to our culture. Who cares about a bunch of pre-Celtic Irish people who died out three thousand years ago? What does their rich oral tradition matter to anyone?

We want to know about Britney Spears' marriage, goddamn it. At least we can get a papparazzi photo or two to go with this cultural news, and that makes it so much more digestable. Besides, Britney speaks English, or a variant thereof. What the hell did the Fir Bolg speak? It wasn't English. It wasn't even Gaelic. It was pre-all-of-that; a dead language to go with their dead culture.

So why dedicate a blog to them? Good question.

(See Johnsky? Your DM impersonation can, within minutes, be accessible to the world at large. Then the troubles will be 1) naming it effectively, 2) publicizing it and 3) keeping it up.)

The way I see it is a culture is like a grain of sand in an oyster. If the grain irritating enough, more and more layers adhere to it, in the biologically most conservative form -- that being a circle.

In this way, cultures that are the most irritating at their core grow to be the largest and most beautiful.

Jezz, you'd think I was still on the bong, wouldn't you?
