kicking it old skool

There’s a neat little feature in World of CRACK-Craft where you type “/played” and it neatly sums up the total amount of time you have spent playing. In total, adding all my characters together, I’m pushing roughly 21 days, 16hours and a coupla minutes. That’s a full working month (8-5, Mondays to Fridays. I don’t do Saturdays). Which means that instead of playing WoW, I could have been earning a whole month’s salary. Which, by my old hourly rate, is quite a bit of money. For me, anyways.

But I digress..

I’ve settled into quite a nice “rhythm” is you could call it that. A couple of posts back I mused over not having work and how weird it has become, seeing as human beings tend to settle into a cosy day-to-day lifestyle (eat, work, eat, fuck, eat, sleep etc). Currently I sleep till about 12:00, do “brelunfast”, shit, shave, shampoo, study (SQL) till about 17:00, log on to WoW and play till about 03:00 in the am. Wash, rinse, repeat. Weekends I drink and party away, so that’s a drunken blur. Oh, and I mix some of the weekly shit with some Live Band Action. Which I have linked here shamelessly. Because it’s the interweb. And this is my Blog. And I rock soooo God damn hard. But not as hard as these guys. Whom I’ve just linked. Again.

So I quite like my life. When people ask me “So what are you up to right now?” I tell them random lies, whatever suits my fancy at that moment. I’ve been a busboy, a waitron, a telemarketer (woman rarely give me their numbers once I’ve told them this. I cannot for the life of me imagine why…), a midget tosser (laden with sexual innuendo) and of course a professional Video Game player. I find lying is way more fun than having to repeat myself over and over again. Keeps the creative juices flowing.

My girlfriend is also getting down and dirty with the Phyzzle (that’s gangsta for “Psychology”) at the moment. She’s away in Stellenbosch, in solidarity with the other students who are preparing for their end of year disasters (I mean, exams). Which means that I have lots and lost and lots of time for myself. So I play even more WoW. And talk to myself (EVEN MORE THAN USUAL!!). And think up new trends. Like nowadays Retro is “the new Black” or “Hip” or “Kief” or whatever terminology you prefer. Today’s old shit is tomorrows retro, right? So I can imagine a world where Beige / off-white/ creamy / call it what u will (cus I’m a guy, and as such not allowed to know names of colours other than white, red, green and blue. And Mauve. Cus it’s got more RAM) computer cases will once again be considered “Cool”. Even as PC’s keep getting tinier and more sophisticated, REAL Geeks will not be able to resist the temptation of sticking their matchbox Pentium MXCXXCCCXCII-2 into a big ass, heavy as fuck, god-awfully ugly (by today’s standards. Remember: we’re in the future here) 15-year-old PC casing… and have the balls to brag about it.

I can hardly wait. Betcha bottom dollar I’ll have one. Right next to my old-skool Arcade machine and the Xbox 360. And pictures of David Hasselhof (he’s sooooooo dreamy).

I also believe that big sideburns are gonna make a comeback this summer. Which is why I’ve started growing mine again in preparation for the summer rush. Like Christopher Walken (whom I'd TOTALLY vote for) insisting on “MORE COWBELL”, so too do I hear the throng of scantily clad, clean shaven summer-babes yearning for more sideburn. And brash, bushy, child molester moustaches.

I wouldn’t want to divulge any more insights just yet, as I feel the world may not yet be ready for them. I will however leave you with one last tip, one that would electrify and change the entire face of summer: Stubbies.
