How cool I am!

// June 4th, 2009 // Uncategorized

Got inspired by Adam’s blogpost and a comment turned into another blogpost - word procreation

(In order for this to make sense you might want to check Adam’s blogpost first)

Motorcycles

I have an environmentally friendly bicycle - why doesn’t that count for something? 0 points

Wear Cologne

Does perfume count? I used to have that, went missing and didn’t come back and for the life of me I can’t remember where I left it … it’s my birthday in July, so I probably will get one. 0.5 point for that.

Move to Williamsburg

Replace that with Berlin and that’s the plan anyway as soon as I find an employer who sees how totally awesome and cool I am … for the plan, I grant myself 0.5 points

Learn to speak European

Oh come on … I speak English and Spanish - a sweet point each, makes 2 points and who tells the poor nerdy kid about the fact that European isn’t one language but a bazillion? My poor translator heart hurts as a result of so much ignorance.

Grow facial hair.

Not if it can be avoided. No way, no how. No way, José. 0 points. Very gladly granted.

Helmets & Mohawk

Hang on, shouldn’t be a girly list for that? Facial hair and helmets are not really a criteria for us.

Designer Shades

I am wearing my nerd glasses since the 6^th grade. Only recently I started using lenses and I bought myself a really nice pair of shades at the Grey Lynn Festival in Auckland. I heavily doubt though that this deserves any points. 0 points

Subscribe to Vice

I have years of CINEMA magazine stored in two big boxes, anymore magazines coming in on a regular basis which I am not willing to throw away and Adam will get a heart attack … 0.5 point for former magazine obsession

Psychorock

??? ??? ??? Is this a good moment to mention I am a big Depeche Mode fan?

Leatherjackets

I’ve got an old jeans jacket, black, falling apart on various spots. I will NOT throw it away regardless of the comments I get because this jacket is the quintessence of cool. 2 points. YAY!

Abercroombie & Flitch

It’s actually called Abercrombie and Fitch. 0.5 point for being a smart ass and noticing that

Learn to play the guitar

I learnt how to touch type. Lacks in coolness. 0.5 for listening to Adam playing the same song over and over and over and over and over again.

Irony

I am German. I am seriously disadvantaged in this area of humour, sarcasm and irony. 0 points

Become a band photographer

Does Depeche Mode need one? 0 points

Wear all black.

Hell yeah! I am doing this already. Much to the dislike of Adam who keeps buying me t-shirts with colour on them. I knew I should stick to my original plan and wear all black. 1 point

Hollywood

Overrated place in the USA. Not interested the slightest at all whatsoever. Taking happily 0 points for that.

Online friendships

Tricky one seeing as I prefer a real life meet up with beverages being consumed to one’s liking. 0 points.

360s

I’d be happy about my old NES Nintendo thingy with Super Mario Brothers 3 and Kirby’s Adventure (bought myself a plush toy Kirby in Tokyo - very sweet, but not cool ). 0 points

Make your own movie

Never crossed my mind. 0 points

Exxxtreme everything

Exxxtreme smart assing … 1 point

Eat more meat

Or less for a change. Adam usually cooks lunch and dinner so there will be meat. Guess that makes 1 point.

Hanging out with Steve.

Seeing as it was me who took the picture Adam put in here, I’ll get the full 1 point.
