Ok, so I’ve decided to be all next level and try some experimental blogging. Thus, I’ve decided to try my hand at improv blogging. Be all living on the edge. So I asked on Twitter for someone to give a term of phrase, and then blog about it. So I took De Villiers recommendation on Korean Cuisine.

To be honest I know very little of Korean Cuisine, however I do know that Korean people in Korean restaurants provide cheap beer.

Back in Nam… I mean back in June ’09. I went to Beijing where a little Korean restaurant sold hella cheap quartz of beer. Like R4.50. Ridiculously cheap. Then again, I wonder why it was sold so cheap. Maybe Kim Jong-Il had something to do with this? No-one can be this awesome without having some amounts of alcohol.

But then, again, this is not a post about Korean Alcohol. So what makes Korean Cuisine tick? I’m up for eating a lot of food, but somehow making the best of the situation when confronted with strange food isn’t always so easy. I mean look at these folks.

I can’t wait for Western civilization to adopt shared dish traditions. I mean look at all those tiny bowls. It’s like the perfect way to be cheap and enjoy a night with your friends. Split that stuff. People pay less and you get weird food.

If traditional restaurants are like this in Korea, I wonder how Spur would look like, or even any steakhouse for that matter. Steak, different-cut-kind-of steak, the steak that you wish we served you, the steak we had in the kitchen for a month and all this in different bowls pasted as photoshopped pictures on the outside.

But you know, one day I’ll truly understand Korean cuisine. For now I’m glad they also use chopsticks, ’cause eating with a knife and fork is just so damn hard.

P. S. – If you wanna participate in improv blogging in the future, follow me on Twitter @nieldlr

Ah, I wish I did. That would be the perfect ice breaker, you can just walk up to anyone and say “America” or “Yes, we can” and you’re not sleeping alone that night. But apparently this guy does look like Obama. You know, one day, I’d like to meet this man, just so that I can tell my kids that I met Obama… ‘s doppelganger.

But then I realized something else. This guy has the perfect face. He could be anyone’s doppelganger.

Frodo and that guy

But then it hit me. Frodo would then look like Obama.

However, that guy looks more like Kevin James (via that Will Smith movie)

So therefore, Kevin looks like Obama.

And Frodo looks like Kevin James

Damn these people are lucky.

Now you gotta give it to these geniuses. Earthbound Pet Service. The Atheist pet service that will look after your pets when the Rapture occurs. It’s genius. Yet, somehow the service seems completely legit. They even have a pretty schweet contract set up. Like, they take into account that if the guy loses his faith:

“If subscriber loses his/her faith and/or the Rapture occurs and subscriber is not Raptured (aka  is “left behind”) EE-BP disclaims any liability; no refund will be tendered.”

Well done dudes. My first thought was, damn I wish had the entrepreneurial spirit like these guys. It costs $150 per pet. Yeah, like what does that do, I thought? There’s no way that they can sustain a pet for long on $150, but they explain that the atheists are actually adopting the pets, and the cost is just for initial travel costs and a small profit margin. See Atheists can be good honest moral beings too.

I emailed them, asking them how well their service is doing. They have 29 rescuers in 22 states and have just under 200 clients. BRAVO!

This made me wonder, what other exploitable rapture markets are there… then it hit me. What will happen with all the torrents!? No more seeds. I think someone needs to draft a “leave your PC connected indefinitely” treaty, so torrents will survive the rapture… but then I realized, it’s futile, pirates are “criminals”. The post-rapture blog world will be even more interesting. Like a zombie wasteland of scattered blogs. At least Twitter will have less noise I guess. But I reckon #rapture and #secondcoming and #partytime will be trending for quite a while, not to mention #nomorework. Ah, dystopian future how I can’t wait. At least pets will be cared for.

Read this in a very heavy American accent: You might remember me from such blog posts such as Die Antwoord Gig or Don’t Touch Me on My Studio Remix. My name is Niel and recently I’ve been in the newspaper and on a really popular site. So, am I a famous blogger now? Do I have mad influence?

I reckon I need to go a little bit more RESPECT from other gangsta bloggers or go “ride” with them in the web-hood. I’m having an existentialist blogger fame crisis. Who am I? When am I famous? Will I be the next Mashable? Or even Hipsterrunoff? I probably need some endorsement deals first.

I reckon you only reach fame, when people get excited about your sex tape, or maybe post explicit pictures of you on PerezHilton.com.

When does one really become a “blogger”? If you post one post, are you a blogger? Or do you need to be like working “blogger”? Pay your server and other expenses like food and drinks, so I can be like 2Oceansvibe, probably South Africa’s only legit “blogger”. Time will tell. For now, I’m ending this blog post, ’cause I’m flying to LA to meet Zooey Deschanel for a coffee.

You know, since Facebook is making us likers, I’ve decided to create the weirdest oddly specific things to like on Facebook. Since you know to creep out your friends. P.S. – If you’re reading this via RSS, come on through to the site.

1) Seeing myself in the reflection of highly reflective aviator glasses.

2) The snare drum on 1:18 on Kelly Clarkson’s Since You’ve Been Gone.

3) The sesame seed that fell off my KFC burger.

4) Pretending to write in cryptic spy ink when the ink dries up.

5) Watching Lord of the Rings while thinking of how cool it would’ve been to have met Frodo.

After the break is 5 more.

1) Schranz

This is like the Satan spawn of hard techno. It just goes on and on until it hammers the distortion until your brain bleeds. I reckon this would be cool with lots of leather in a European sex club.

2) Chiptunes

One of my favourite music genres ever. It combines the awesome chip sounds of vintage game consoles and creates this diverse array of raw music. Perhaps you can call it more of a medium as opposed to a genre, but it’s awesome nonetheless. For more check out 8bitpeoples. P.S – My 8bit friends will probably hate me for putting this in the same post as crunkcore.

3) Crunkcore

I’ve linked to this before as a song that will end a party, but I reckon some people dig this, like getting “CRUNK UP IN THIS BUSINESS” while “SCREAMING”. They seem to get a lot of chicks. Kudos to them… I just wish they mixed up two different genres, maybe we need a GangstaPop band, like Miley Cyrus rapping/autotuning/ooh-ing about all the booty they get as tween… wait that’s Justin Bieber.

4) Spacesynth/Italo-Disco

Spacesynth is what the 80′s left behind. The cheese in this music can feed a whole town for years. It’s so delicious and over done that it makes me wonder if it wasn’t some post-modern music movement, kinda like Die Antwoord.

5) Nintendocore

I’ve seen HORSE the band live and they really know how to break your neck headbanging and moshing your brains out. This odd example of more “screaming” plus Nintendo/8bit sounds makes me wanna rip people up in style. There’s a lot more obscure “core” genres out there, but this is by far the most fun.

6) Opera-Glitch-Electro

Local South African band, Lark, makes the awesomest mix of operatic style voices with lots of harmonies filled with glitch electro. I guess you can’t actually call it a genre yet, ’cause it’s totally off the chart and unique. They are definitely one of my favourite acts in South Africa. I’ve seen them live numerous times. Some people find it “too weird”. I say they’re missing the best bunch musicians creating the world’s most creative music.

Continuing with my love for SA music, last night me and a friends went to a local joint and watched Haezer create gigantic chasms in the dance floor. Haezer is dirty. Really dirty. Distorted flesh eating grinding dirty. It was awesome. The video tries to speak the vibe, but I tried to capture it the best I can. Enjoy.
