Soccer.

Now that Scotland is a major focus in my life. Decisions need to be made. Huge decisions.

1. Marseille. Do I continue following them?

2. Glasgow has 2 soccer teams. The Rangers and the Celtics. The Rangers are typically Protestant and favor the Union between them and England. The Celtics are Catholic and have a particular connection with Irish/Scots. Which to follow? I'm leaning toward the Rangers because the Celtics are Green and White and the Rangers have an all-black 3rd uniform.

3. This is the worst decision. Glasgow is a Lowlands Scotland city rather than Highlands. Highlands Scotland have Gaelic as a language. Lowlands Scotland have (or rather "had") Scots as their language. It's problematic because Scots is very familiar as it's very close to English. For example, "a wee meenit" means a short time (or "a wee minute" would be similar). Imagine me saying, Wait a wee meenit. That is too intelligible to be considered a foreign language.

Another example would be:

Lufe God abufe al and yi nychtbour as yi self (Love God above all and thy neighbour as thyself)

Nope. Not working at all. I did find a guy that gives Gaelic lessons on Skype. And there are comprehensive lessons on Youtube.

However please listen to this... It's too awesome for words.

That right there could push me to Scots.

Alba gu bràth (Scotland Forever).
