The Top 16

It’s been 16 days since my last post, here’s what’s been playing around in my head. 16 to be precise. What a coincidence:

1. number9dream is one of the best books i’ve ever read. David Mitchell takes the whole “stream of conscience” routine and turns it around on its head. Sorry Hemingway, you’ve been bested.

2. Preppy kids donning t-shirts in support of the city post-26/11 protesting because they think it’s the “kewl” thing to do. Oh well, at least someone’s going to get laid. Or get some phone numbers.

3. Prince of Persia is awesome. Some of the most inspired and well thought out design and art-style i’ve seen since, well, the Shadow of the Colossus. Definitely one of the better games of this generation. Kudos to you, Ubisoft Montreal.

4. For a 10 year old album, Foo Fighter’s The Color and The Shape still sounds extremely good. Maybe it’s something about that era, that’s so timeless. Like bad haircuts perhaps?

5. Speaking of haircuts, i finally got one. Damn stylist left it uneven on the sides, makes a good case for me saying i cut it myself. Yes i am self-obsessed.

6. Work is great. The people are swell. But if some random dude is going to ask a status update on tasks that he’s gone out of his way to cockblock, well, fuck off.

7. The Dark Knight Blu Ray is godlike. i think i’ll finally start thinking about building up a decent movie collection if this is the quality i’m paying for. So so worth it.

8. An0 is back in town. For all the bitchery, fights, mudslinging, lowballing and rubbish we’ve heaped on each other, i miss the gal and glad she’s back (no sarcasm on this one, pinkie and PS3 swear).

9. Exes are hell. Especially when they text you at god forsaken hours of the night expecting you to be the bloody bedrock of their existence all while they bitchslap you into oblivion.

10. For all his presidential antics, Bush ducks shoes like Neo on caffienne. Gotta hand it to him even if he did have it coming.

11. The flash game on the aforementioned antic is pretty sweet.

12. To all my friends: no i am not seeing anyone, so just drop it please? When and if that happens, rest assured you shall all know.

13. Ice cold Redbull is the breakfast of champions. Believe.

14. Subjecting a friend to the harassment of having his mug shot photoshopped by a cabal of talented, like-minded souls leads to epic results like this:

15. Lemon Vodka and Seven Up doesn’t get you drunk. Unless the cup you’re having it in is large enough to give a full-sized adult elephant an inferiority complex.

16. There is no 16.

Now Listening To: Sparta – Taking Back Control

McOwned.

Life’s good. In fact it’s great. You’re on the top of the world and nothing can stop you. Invincible. Infallible and a bunch of other intelligent sounding adjectives i can’t quite recall at this point of time. Everything seems right with the world.

And then you walk into a McDonald’s see it’s stupid “Official Restaurant for the Olympics” branding all over the place. The poster-child for obese people and leading reason for gastric bypass surgery promoting one of the most rigorous, physically exhausting events in the world.

The irony. It’s rife. And it kills. Faster than a Big Mac, triple-sized oily,OPEC insecurity causing fries and a gallon of cankerous caffeine.

Two minutes later people hear ambulance sirens as the paramedics rush in to sweep the gibs, guts and other remnants of your exploded head off the floor and more importantly, off the fries.

No one likes bloody fries.

Scribblings: Friday to Wednesday Edition

Getting into a drunken argument with a Mac fanboy is hazardous to my health.

Furry Ambassadors reek of epic fail.


Assassin’s Creed would have been a godlike game if it didn’t have as many bugs as Angelina Jolie did in an
episode of South Park.

Breakfast at Mocha is awesome. Even more so when you gorge down 2 paninis and a chocolate milkshake.


Extending generosity towards those around you always results in something twisted and sick.


Excess early morning nagging reduces my senses to shrapnel.
