Why Would I Write

  • I’m on fire and now I think I’m ready to bust a move

    When I was young, I used to record myself talking into a tape recorder, pretending to be a radio DJ. Now I have the ability to record my own ‘radio shows’ (podcasts) and broadcast them to the whole world but I don’t do it.

    I’m sure what I said was full of cringey shit, talking to an audience that didn’t exist, and not even fading tracks in/out while talking in between them. Then again, those fades always annoyed me.

    Now I just sit behind my screen and type out my nonsense onto a screen. I hit publish and the whole world can read what I’m thinking about. All my stupid thoughts and stupid songs. It’s mostly garbage. Sometimes I come up with something that people find interesting to read.

    Most of the time I don’t. And I end up with half-assed thoughts like these.

    Ever since I started listening to podcasts, I’ve had countless ideas for podcasts of my own. Mainly just me and a friend sitting opposite each other, drink in hand and shooting shit. I don’t think it would be entertaining to anyone besides myself, so I’ve never done it. Also, I think I have a shitty radio voice.

    I would probably need to train myself to speak differently if I want to sound better over the air. I know because I hear my voice all the time (when watching playbacks of my Twitch stream (shameless plug – come hang out if you enjoy watching Dota fails), and listening to my WhatsApp voice messages to Milin).

    Also, your voice sounds different on recording because you hear yourself in two ways – the first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your ear drum, the way other people hear your voice. The second way is through vibrations inside your skull set off by your vocal chords. Those vibrations travel up through your bony skull and again set the ear drum vibrating. However as they travel through the bone they spread out and lower in pitch, giving you a false sense of bass. Then when you hear a recording of your voice, it sounds distinctly higher. [source]

    I have no idea where I’m going with this. I guess that’s why I’m writing this for my Thursday thoughts.

  • Read Only Memories

    “It’s about time you change that phone of yours. Come on, it’s a frickin’ iPhone 3G!”
    “But it’s served me well!”
    “Half your screen is dead, your home button doesn’t function anymore and you can’t adjust your phone’s volume!”
    “I can still text and make calls, that’s what matters!”
    “You might as well be using an old Nokia then, come on. I’ll give you my old phone. It’s rooted and I’ve got a custom ROM on it so it’s speedy and battery life is still great.”
    “But I’m so used to my iPhone!”
    “I’ll install an iOS-like launcher for you, but trust me you’ll never want to go back to an iPhone after moving to Android!”
    “How much are you getting paid, shill?”

    I laughed in response. “Chill here for a bit, I’ll head to my room to grab the phone.”

  • Do you really need to see an ID? this is embarrassing to say

    People inquire about my age all the time. And when I tell them, they usually act surprised. No way! You don’t look 30, you look much younger than that!

    Anyway, that got me thinking. I don’t do anything on purpose to look younger than what my age really is, so it must be something that I do in life which affects my appearance. So in no particular order and by nobody’s request, I’ve decide to share with you my daily routine.

  • work long hours in a stressful environment
  • smoke cigarettes
  • vape
  • drink alcohol
  • don’t exercise
  • sleep less
  • oversleep (occasionally)
  • spend your nights gaming or watching streams redditing before sleep
  • gaming on your phone before sleep
  • drink coffee from doiffee
  • don’t overeat (unless you’re really hungry and havemt over eaten in a while, then you get a free pass)
  • drink coke light or coke zero
  • drink lots of water
  • listen to a lot of music and podcasts
  • smile a lot
  • think of fucked up things which make you laugh
  • masturbate often
  • sing to myself
  • wear fitting clothes
  • try new hairstyles
  • wear thick framed glasses
  • don’t be afraid to try new things
  • don’t go on long holidays
  • travel for work
  • don’t plan for the future, focus on what I have now
  • own a cute dog
  • get a tattoo or two
  • give up religion
  • cut out things from your life if you don’t care about them
  • wear hoodies, even if the weather doesn’t agree you
  • switch to a mechanical keyboard
  • work even if you’re unwell
  • buy cheap guitars from Lazada

    • I’m not sure which ones you should follow if you’re trying to look younger but to be safe you should do all of them. Happy holidays, kids!
