Before I commence today's special six month anniversary special, I'd like to say that we are fully aware that week 26 should have been our six month special, but we forgot. Really sorry if this messes up your life. So for this six month special, we are going to test a new format, one that we will either use once every six months or never again if it looks shit. Both Darren and I will recommend one thing (that can be literally anything) that we have enjoyed most over the past six months. Oh, and another thing, neither of us are high, despite what the following content will suggest. Enjoy! Perhaps...
Sound - Nature (One of the Five Senses) - Author: Chris
Okay before you start to question the quality of this blog, hear me out. Over the past few months, I have made the bizarre revelation that everything makes noise, and they are fantastic noises at that. The world is so noisy that our brains tune out a lot of background noise, but if you stop and listen, you will discover just how alive and, well, loud the earth is. Wind blowing, doors creaking, clothing rustling, air breathing, laptops whirring, and so on and so forth. You could stop right now, start listening really hard, and hear tons of fascinating sounds that all sound unique and just down right fabulous. In the past, I would be bored sitting around waiting for things, but now I can occupy my time by closing my eyes, and using my ears to paint a picture of my surroundings in my head. Want another fun way to enjoy sound? Tell people around you to stop what they are doing, and once silence is achieved, do something like open a bottle, or drop a coin, or shuffle your shoe (or literally anything) and you can all laugh at how great a sound that was (or seriously debate how interesting a sound it was, whichever works best.) Of course, how could I talk about the greatness of sound without mentioning music. Music can lighten up the most tedious walk, entertain the most boring car journey, strike fear into the most hard person (whoops, got a bit off track there). My morning walk and return home walk that I do every weekday would be outrageous boring if it wasn't for music. A rainy night can become a tense thriller scene, a sunny day can become a feel good movie, rain can become a dramatic opening to most things (okay I like rain, it's got tons of atmosphere, and music can turn it into so many things.) I'm not sure if I've solidified the opinion enough, but sound is fantastic, and if you take it for granted, I recommend slowing down and listening to the world, to see how amazing sound truly is. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to stand outside for a few minutes and open my ears.
RT We Are Rooster Teeth Shirt - Kal Nguyen [blackout591 - RT Community](T-Shirt) - Author: Darren
Overall, I've got to say this is my favourite t-shirt (that I own). It fits fairly well and is made out of comfortable material. The design on the front, courtesy of Kal Nguyen.[https://roosterteethuk.myshopify.com/collections/t-shirts/products/rt-we-are-rooster-teeth-shirt]
What makes this one stand out though is the fucking struggle. It's always fucking sold out in my size. I got lucky one day and it wasn't. SHUT UP PEOPLE WITH GENUINE PROBLEMS. YOU WEREN'T THERE. YOU DON'T KNOW ME OR MY STRUGGLE.
While it may seem like this is poorly written, my mind is elsewhere. I've set my sight on the Team Nice Dynamite shirt, it's my Moby Dick and I suggest you suck it. I had a hard choice though, the Team Lads Action News Team was up there as well as the Haywood Airlines one (did you know his name's James?). ACTUALLY NO. DON'T BUY IT. IT'LL SAVE US BOTH THE EMBARRASSMENT WHEN WE WEAR IT ON THE SAME DAY!
Before I/We go, a PSA: Don't put your shovel in a zookeeper, they'll be pissed and then Jesus Mohammed will cry semen.
Yeah on second thoughts, from reading what I just put and Darren's interesting little PSA, we should probably do random drug tests, because clearly something has gone wrong. See you next week! Or probably not, because I have a hunch this is the post that is going to kill whatever fanbase we had.

I... Wow... Chris you put into words how I (and probably everyone) feels about sound and... Wow... You guys both need to tell me how you live like this with no enhancements. I'm in awe. Almost speechless.
ReplyDeleteWell done for keeping this up for six months, by the way.
