Quite frankly, I’m rather pissed off at the moment.
The other day I lost my Ipod.
My beloved Ipod was an important part of by being.. It was much like my unborn conjoined Siamese twin, attached to me via a thin white umbilical chord protruding from my ears. I wept, dear god did I weep yet it did not return. So unfortunately I have to shell out a coupla’ hundred clams to get myself a new one.
Doesn’t really help me when I’m extremely off-course with my budget for the next two months of holidays… But fuck it, thats what I have to say.
But back to Armageddon. Most of you may know that I have a habit of causing tragedies when traveling overseas… well, the bad things are starting to happen around me. At the time of writing this blog post, the 52nd person in Indonesia has fallen prey to the dreaded bird flu, the sale of body parts in China has increased dramatically in the past year and Typhoon Xangsane pounds the Philippines like a 200 pound man on a 10 year old Philippino boy.
Yet I try to look at the positive side of things, this certainly lowers the cost of my travel insurance. No longer shall I be weighted down with an expensive ipod, laptop, digital camera or video camera… thats cos i’ve either lost, not obtained, broken or fried those things.
But this does mean one thing - I could quite possibly vanish from the internet for a whole month. I’ve been connected in one form or another to the net since I was 13. At the age of 27, things can get a little hard when a guy like me is disconnected. Heck, if it wasn’t for my mobile and it’s ultra slow WAP-goodness I’d probably start havin’ the shakes and start dry-humping a payphone….
That has absolutely nothing to do with being disconnected… I just have a thing about payphones.
So what do I do now? A grum with no internet (let alone electronics) in general is like a lobster with a loaded shotgun - completely pointless, not very funny but quite possibly incredibly lethal to anyone around it. But I guess over the next month I shall just suck it up or just sulk a lot.
Unfortunately for the rest of you, this may mean that my final post until mid November will be only a few days away. No longer shall you have your mind corrupted with the filth and depravity of my brain.. you’ll just have to make do with entertaining yourself with the conventional things from the web like midget porn and the joys of.. well, more midget porn.
