What happened to the Renaissance man?

Today, I caught the last half of 'Canada's Next Prime Minister', in which several university students were competing for a $50,000 prize by debating issues pertaining to our problems as a nation and how they would personally solve them. Initially, I was mildly impressed... but ultimately, I found that these kids were just articulate speakers with

> Why am I ranting about this when I should be writing an essay...?

I think the answer's in the question. ;-)

[ruede]

Hehehe!

Who're you? ; ) Sorry, but I couldn't help glancing at your interests... Voltaire, dragons, Douglas Adams, KMFDM, CoF, NIN, etc etc.? Snaz!

[phable]

Gabriel. Pleased to make your acquaintance. :-)

(I'm just up late randomly commenting LiveJournals in a vain effort to avoid having to turn off my music and go to bed!)

[ruede]

Aaahh.

*Shakes your hand*

I do that often. My music is never turned off.

I'm listening to some very fine industrial metal right now. It's great three-o'-clock-in-the-morning-music.

Wait a minute.

It's three o' clock in the morning...

...Yeesh. Maybe I like my music a little too much.

[ruede]

Industrial is great for penetrating your brain in the wee hours in the morning. Although it does a good job penetrating your brain at ANY hour of the day.

Yeh... 3am is pushing it. A little, maybe. ;p

I am currently listening to VNV's version of Totmacher.

Exxxcellent. (You supply the Monty Burns voice ;-))

I'm currently on Fatherland - Die Krupps.

[ruede]

Hehe. : )

Get to bed, monsieur! *grin* ~_o

[phable]

You might be onto something... Sounds like a plan!

[ruede]

Now on Kraftwerk, and just missed a phone call entirely. *snickers*

[phable]

Love Kraftwerk. :-)

Heard Hau Ruck by KMFDM? It's one of my favourites at the moment.

[ruede]

Oh, I have. I'm not sure which is my favourite of theirs, frankly... but I will say that their Intro to their WWIII album amuses the crap out of me. ;p

[phable]

I read somewhere that it was actually supposed to be the intro to their next album (ie. Hau Ruck) which would explain its placement on the WWIII CD.

"And if you don't believe me, you can suck my Glock, ja!" *GRIN* Gotta love Sascha.

[ruede]

Hah. : )

*laughs* Yeah, totally. The lyrics are a killer.

A beautiful girl and some dirty old men~... <-- I'm the girl. Where are my dirty old(er) men? o.o *cackles*

[phable]

> I'm the girl. Where are my dirty old(er) men? o.o *cackles*

I'm sure I count as dirty. Of course, I'm not as old as our lovable Sascha Konietzko-however, I hear that's just a matter of time. *grin*

[ruede]

*laughs* Well, the ratio of ages must be relatively far apart so as to achieve a decent shock level. j/k
