Boosh Bash

A few nights ago, Whiteman, Tithe and I attended a Mighty Boosh themed party. I really can't be fucked writing about it at the moment so here are some photographs of the night's festivities.

Muesli & Creeps

I just ate the biggest bowl of muesli i've ever consumed in my life. It was so good. Not only did it contain a vast variety of grains including sunflower seeds, almonds and pepitas but it also included a whole heap of dried fruit such as sultanas, diced apricots and diced dates. To top it off i added freshly made stewed apple and yoghurt. Ecstasy.

In other news, for some of us private school bitches, semester 2 started today. Why we didn't start it at the beginning of next term like any straight thinking school, still remains a mystery. Probably some bullshit to do with the importance of learning.

Anyway, the sudden transition from cool teachers and cool subjects, to inadequate subjects with teachers who are obstinate and grouchy was a little too much to handle, so instead of doing homework i've decided to do up individual informational profiles on these creeps.



Creep #1: Mr. Solomon, Biology
Now don't tell me "Solomon" was the name of the wisest man on earth because this creep claims it all the time. I walk into class today and he's wearing beige pants, a big grey jumper and a "humorous" tie which simply had sheep on it. Perhaps the tie was his own, miserable little way of getting through the day, through the rueful career choice he was destined to pursue. We entered the classroom and for the whole period he just blabbed on and on about how we had to respect him then made us watch some atrocious outdated video on organisms from like the 1980s. We all know what they're like.




Mr. P, History
This guy was absent today so i'm not going to assess him just yet. However i must say he looks like he IS history so he probably knows what he's talking about.








Creep #2: Mr. Trend, Mathematics
This guy contradicted my theory that a person's name says alot about they're character. If this guy thinks the "Huge Bald Spot" look is a trend that'll be soon taken up by hip youngsters he should stay indoors. As he drawled on about matrices etc, all i could think about was how hard i'd have to hit the top of his head to leave a big red handmark on it. He must grease that dome because when i finally did attempt working, i couldn't copy notes off the whiteboard because the harsh sunlight was reflecting off his head straight into my eyes.




Not So Bad #1: Miss O, Drama

Everyone loves the O-Dawg, probably because she teaches the subject that allows you to absolutely chill out and still get an A. She's pretty cool, except when she's PMSing, but at least even then she'll address the class and admit she's being a bitch. Aside from that O-Dawg is the finest that Wesley has to offer.




Shit-Damn #1, Miss G, English.
Make that the second finest. Miss G is the most sophisticated, beautiful, entrancing, sought-after, mind blowing teacher at the school. Naturally, everyone wants to fornicate her. Poor girl is subjected to what, in the non-institutionalised world would be classified as "Sexual Harrassment" on a day to day basis. You know how everyone has those fantasies about getting with their teacher? Miss G is in 15,000 of those fantasies. The shit thing is she's not even my English teacher. She was in year 8 but i was too young and naive to appreciate it. One of the biggest regrets of my life.


Creep #3: Miss H, English
Emphasis on the MISS please. This is my real English teacher. She seems to be fond of the "Character Analysis" tool, if only she could read this.

I imagine that during her high school days, she was the nerdy chick who gave the cool guys second thoughts. However today she does nothing more than whine on about poetic techniques and does the best she can to destroy Literature for those of us who hold it close to our hearts. She also has an obsession with Brad Pitt, hence the posters of him plastered on her classroom walls. Keep dreamin' lady.





Creep #4, Mr. W, Full time creep.
This is the creep who roams the school, on the hunt for students who were 30 seconds late too class. That i can bear. What i can't bear is the fact that he is also put in charge of making sure students get THEIR F****** HAIR CUT.
Doesn't that make you sick?

Sabelo Magic. Chapter II

The other day in maths, Fresh passed me a note. I know it's kind of cliche and lame but hey, he's black.


Now for those of you who cannot read his primitive handwriting allow me to decipher.

He asked me what time i was leaving school, i replied verbally and told him 3:20, the usual time. He then proceeded to write his response on paper. It's okay i understand. Being seen conversing with a tall, skinny white-boy would probably "cramp his style yo". His response to my verbal elucidation was "Na man I just wanna go for a durrie".


Durrie


A slang term for cigarette. Used mainly in Australia but sometimes New Zealand.
"Oi ranga!" "Yer mate?" "Passus a durrie would ya!"


Now obviously i was absolutely flabbergasted that this kid had already caught on to the majority of Australia's hip lingo slang in such a short period of time, even more so, that he had put the word "smoke" in brackets next to the abbreviation, as if trying to imply that I might not be aware of the term. But then i remembered he was a boarder, so living in the same building as a bunch of simplistic farmers probably contributed alot to his knowledge of the more, stereotypical side of our culture.

Magic then proceeded to cross out the word "smoke", a necessary precaution, being that if he was caught he would surely be sent back to Johannesburg and be whipped, tortured and fed to hungry seals or whatever the fuck they're native animal is over there.
In response to Kobe's remark, i informed him of the dangers of smoking and the serious risks it can have on your health. This made him laugh and tell me that I "can speak so much shit". I think he likes me.

Fucking Plurals.

I recently discovered that the plural to "Phenomenon" is actually "Phenomena" not "Phenomenons". When i stumbled upon this fact i was absolutely gutted. It was almost as if I had fallen off Saruman's Tower in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and landed on that big barbed thing that Saruman lands on after that huge battle with the trees and shit. If you haven't seen that part, then i suggest you invest in the extended version of the film. Thats right, as if 4 and a half hours of midgets fondling eachother, schizophrenic/anorexic tour guides debating whether or not to kill the clearly gay midgets, and Orlando Bloom with blonde hair, wasn't enough, you can buy the extended version with an hour of extra scenes. I have all 3. I didn't say i wasn't a fan.

Anyway please don't inform me of my failure to correctly construct a URL that followed obvious rules of the English language, because i'm already aware of it. You think I can just learn something like that and let it go? You think I can continue living my life the way it was before? No sir. In order to replenish myself and rid my body of such sins, i have decided that reading the dictionary naked, by candlelight every night, and branding the plurals of every word onto my flesh is the only way. Apart from that my week was good.

It would be an abbreviated version of saying "Oh look there's a bunch of cockneys harassing an albino gypsy!"

Why i love MLSHS.

Now those of you who know me, would be well aware that i am not particularly fond of violence and conflict, a "Delicate Flower" if you will. I'm also not a fan of posting about people i hate, and i realise this will be my second hate post but i want you all to know just how pathetic some people are.

First a little background knowledge. You may also be aware that my best friend Whiteman also created a blog (http://www.thewizardofrobb.blogspot.com/), A charming, sophomoric yet well structured page, displaying poorly photoshopped photos of his head on the bodies of movie stars, fictional characters etc. Now early last week Whiteman and I created a piece with only good intentions in mind. It was a photograph of a fair-skinned (accentuated with photoshop) girl we know, with Whiteman dressed in a ghost-busters uniform and brandishing a Proton gun right next to her. Did i mention our intentions were good?
Anyway this hilarious creation was placed on the blog and a few days later we started getting threats from her friends and her friend's boyfriends...

Here's an example of the highly sophisticated analytical conversations we had with them.
I assure you this guy IS for real, no editing whatsoever.

Stewman says:

- Frigo; + says:

etc, etc, etc.




Reading this you must be thinking, this kid's got it bad man, probably scrounges around on the streets looking for his next meal, probably witnesses violence, murder and rape on a daily basis, probably a fucking child soldier. This isn't the case...he's a high-class Trinity College student who's parents pay about $15,000 dollars a year for his education. It's not paying off, he still can't spell as shown above. I admit i go to a private school, but i don't act like i'm the hardest kid on the block. Not a chance.


Thats why I love MLSHS.

Beaufort Blunders

In my hectic efforts to share with you the crazy escapades and wacky misendeavours my friends and i occur, i completely forgot the reason why i wanted to start a blog in the first place.

It was to inform you all of me meeting a great visionary from Navan, County Meath .

Dylan Moran. Heard of him? The barely-sober bastard irish comedian from such classics as "Black Books" and "Shaun of the Dead"?



Here's how it went down.

Whiteman, Bec, Han, Rosa and I were driving along, listening to some whack tunes, when we decided to stop off at Planet Video to pick up a CD or some shit. Whiteman, obviously tired from the events of the previous night decided to stay in the car. BIG MISTAKE 1.

We entered the building and i immediately felt petrified. As if i had just stared into the eyes of that fucking snake from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. My whole body ceased moving and i sensed a very strong aura other than my own in that same room.

Han, Bec and Rosa, Oblivious, walked straight behind the tall, greasy looking figure. Words escaped me so i reached out and grabbed Han's arm but she shrugged me off, looked at me as if i was a rapist and walked off. BIG MISTAKE 2.

"Dylan?" i asked hesitantly.

"What?" he replied in a gruff undertone, much like that of Bernard Black's.

5 seconds passed in which i only made a hoarse squeaking sound

"Can i shake your hand?" (smooth right)

"Alright then"

We exchanged a handshake and a single tear rolled down my cheek.

I then invited him to a gig we were playing at HQ that night and he agreed to come. After watching the gig he approached me, bawling and told me i had a voice like that of an angel, and called up his close friend, the head of Sharp Records who immediately gave us a 6 album contract.

Well, none of the last paragraph actually happened, i actually made a total dick of myself infront of the Planet staff and Dylan by making orgasm noises and running out of the shop.

When one imagines meeting one of they're Idols or a celebrity of any kind, they imagine it all going smoothly in they're heads, making casual small talk rather than indecipherable gasps but i assure you this is not how it works.

I spent the rest of that day calling friends and telling them about it, ripping Whiteman for staying in the car and ripping Bec, Han and Rosa for being ignorant fools and missing out on touching Dylan Moran.

Amen.

Mid term break, 4 day headache.

The week ended young, and thursday night found me at home hitting myself in the head with a shoe and asking myself what the fuck i was doing there.


Friday morning saw Whiteman and I heading to the Lee-Traub residence to take advantage of the facilities and reap the benefits of the house owners being out of town. Within 5 minutes of getting there, Whiteman found some unknown reason to totally snap at Kall and I, and ran off crying into Hyde Park. Well he wasn't really crying, just infuriated. Unfortunately for him, right after he left Lewis rocked up with a parcel for Kall containing 200 flavoured condoms that we made some kid at our school pay for and have sent to Lewis' personalised PO box. A series of cool photos were taken but they haven't been developed yet. Eventually we hunted down the Whiteman, got drunk, went for a bicycle ride in a park full of rapists, asian prostitutes and serial killers, made horrendous meaningless videos, threw condoms full of shampoo at cars and buses and finally, crashed out at the Whiteman's for a gaming session complete with a TV, 24 inch Mac, CS, X-Box and a terabyte of movies.



That was Friday.





The next day i was awoken at Whiteman's house by a dog with a head too small for it's body. We spent the afternoon celebrating Jude's birthday in Hyde Park with a range of different people. The second i arrived i was greeted with an immense amount of praise for my below post but alas, everyone was dressed up in wacky costumes and i had nothing but an old jumper and jeans on, so i sauntered over to Lee-Traub HQ, put on a tux shirt, combed my hair and drew on a moustache. I was now sporting the "Seedy Frenchman" look. After a few hours I abandoned post at Hyde Park, leaving it's lush greenery scattered with countless condoms, semi-conscious bodies, skateboards, bikes empty bottles and face crayons. That night Whiteman and Kall slept over and Kall and I Tea-bagged Whiteman when he was asleep and filmed it on his beloved Mac. Nuff said.

The afternoon in a nutshell





Sunday we made the familiar journey back to Lee-Traubville and set up camp there for the day. Sims, Em Tut, Jess, Crook, Charles and Alex all rocked up and we set up the Hookah and drank all day, vacating the premises only once to purchase meals with photocopied Hungry Jacks vouchers. That was the best day of the weekend. Monday was very much the same, with about 15 people coming over and helping Kall enjoy the last few hours of freedom before his parents came home. After that i played basketball and lost by one point. A hefty price to pay for having a good time.

Then back for more...
