A Metaphor Just Got Fucked (The Death of Morocco)
16BITassassin | 2:25 PM on 01.04.2009 24 comments


Ok, before I start with the tragedy, first I got to tell you my tale of how I got where I am. I currently reside in Shithole, New Jersey, although I moved here over the summer from Dallas, Texas. My bestest friend ever, I'll call him Bill, lives in Texas. He's the craziest coolest slickest cat you'll ever meet, and our dream is to go to college together, as in ever cool high school movie. He visited Shithole for a little while a few months ago, and the both of us went to New York together to purchase a sweet pipe, which we did. After searching all day, we finally found a tiny little head shop, and proceeded to enter.

The man there shouted at us "You guys got ID?" We responded as minors usually do. "Crap, we forgot 'em." He then proved to be the coolest clerk ever. "Need 'em? Forty bucks a piece." We knew then it was the coolest store we would ever lay our grungy torn converses upon. It turns out the store was about to relocate, so everything was on sale, big time. Like Circuit City sales. So we looked at all the beautiful pipes and bongs and such, and the clerk pointed out a beautiful magnificent bubbler, hand blown glass, double chamber, with absolutely glorious design. I knew then that I would love this pipe more than I ever could love a woman. At fifty percent off, I was not leaving the store without this pipe. Me and Bill went to the clerk and payed for it and entered a brief conversation. He asked us how Dallas pussy was in broken English, and told us about how he recently moved here from Morocco. I probably don't have to explain how pimpin this guy was. On the subway home, me and Bill talked about how this would be the Bubbler we would keep till we get to college, and this would be our first piece together. Being the couple of simple seventeen-year-olds we are, we named it Morocco. From then on, thats what we constantly referred to it as. We got back to Shithole, and had a good time with it. Eventually, Bill had to go home, and we said our goodbyes.

I've been smoking off Morocco since then, and I've taken good care of it. Last night, (the same night I made this DT account coincidentally) I went to clean Morocco before I smoked off it, and as I picked it up to dry it off, it slipped from hands and made a shrill cracking sound as it shattered into the ground. I couldn't even respond. I just dropped to my knees and shouted out in horror "Mooorrrrooooooocccooooooo!!!!!!" My dad, from bed, shouted "Donnie! What happened!?!?" My brother responded "It's just his pipe" across the house. My dad, still half dreaming said "Um... okay." and went back to sleep.

I carried the fractured pieces of my bubbler back down to my room in the basement and laid them down on my shelf. I sat on my bed, clutching my hair, trying to figure out how to tell Bill. I knew what had to be done. I rolled a joint and lit up. In my blazed euphoria, I found the answer (as I watched 'License to Drive'). The answer lay in two simple words that have dictated the ways of my life, and I have come back to in every peril I have faced: Fuck It.

I sat there thinking about all the really shitty things that have happened in my life, and the great thing about life in general. It always seems to go on. My friend would hear this, be devastated and move on as well. And everything was going to be alright. I don't know why I set up a DT account yesterday, or why Morocco broke within hours, but writing this blog seems to help. This is partially a first greeting to the DT community, and partially a way to vent some steam about the whole thing, but I feel better in general.

So Hello, DT Community.

Hi, do you like video games?
grassr00ts's Destructoid Blog
Interesting story, next time tag something as NVGR (Not video game related) in title, and maybe add pics (click BBcode help tab if you need it).

Welcome to DTOID

You've met me at a very strange time in my life. *pixies kick in*
MEE's Destructoid Blog
ok, i know niero said that we should stop being elitist to newcomers, but god damn this doesn't have anything to do with anything, there is no NVGR tag and the guy didn't made an intro post.
16BITassassin's Destructoid Blog
Ok, I was so fairly certain I put NVGR there. I scrolled through the categories, selected it, and bam. I'll see if I can add it at this point. Oh, and I really appreciate all the ass hole sarcastic comments. I feel like I'm growing stronger because of them.

Oh, I guess I like video games. A good part of my life has been sucked up by them, whether it be Morrowind destroying my grades in seventh grade, or the deletion of my FF XII file sending me into a great depression. Some of my favorite games are SMB3, Super Metroid, MGS (after the first one the just went straight down hill), GTA 3, Sonic the Hedgehog (2D only), Half Life 2, and of course, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I'm also pretty into movies and music as well. My favorite movies are the Big Lebowski, Dawn of the Dead, Cool Hand Luke, the Host, Terminator 2, Rushmore, Enter the Dragon, and anything by Joss Whedon or Kevin Smith. My favorite bands are the Pixies, the Replacements, the Allman Brothers Band, Soundgarden, They Might Be Giants, the Clash, and the Cure. If I had more money, I'd read more comics, but I really like Preacher, Madman, and anything Alan Moore lays his golden hands upon.

So this is probably a far more proper introduction to the DT community. And fuck you too.
UglyDuck's Destructoid Blog
No. I'll confess I have a prejudice against the kind of cunts who treat drugs like they're tantamount to Godliness... nevertheless, this is goddamn awful.

"The tragedy"... Jesus christ.
linuxguy's Destructoid Blog
wait what my country is dead now?new to me.
UglyDuck's Destructoid Blog
On a lighter note, perhaps a few hints:

-Put NVGR in the title.
-Don't get defensive at people who call you out. It makes you look like a douche, and its hardly a fitting intro.
-Get an avatar, try and make it unique.
-Nobody gives a crap about your life. Everyone has to adhere to that rule.
-Talk about games and shit.
-Don't Suck.
16BITassassin's Destructoid Blog
Uglyphil, there is no need to be such a bigoted dickhead. I talked about weed, not some kind of opium addiction. It is absolutely harmless, and there's no need to be such a shit about it. And the story wasn't about how great weed is or anything, it was about something really important between me and my best friend breaking. It was our dream to go to college together, something that looks less and less likely everyday, and this was part of that dream. It shattered, and I felt really really shitty last night night, like this was sealing the fate that we weren't going to get to be together again, and that we would slowly drift apart through life.

So in short, fuck you
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
I'm sorry, but was this about a bong or something. No buy.
TheGuero's Destructoid Blog
I like you man, I like you.
Jesus H Christ's Destructoid Blog
You need to lurk more, dude.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Fuck the haters. I liked this intro blog -- at least it has some substance, and it's relatively entertaining, too. But yeah, you can change the title/content of the blog post at any time, so it'd be nice if you could add [NVGR] to it. Otherwise, welcome, and keep not sucking!

Also, you might want to get an avatar, and fill out your sidebar profile with some video games that you like or something.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
Hey, great post, I do like the story a lot, and I can undertsand the pain of fucking someones else's bong up, when I was younger, I did the same, and too thought: Fuck it.

I brought him a new better pipe, so all was forgiven. :)


Ok, welcome to the good 'ol Toid, be cool, dont suck, don't troll and blog as much as you like!! :D

Oh, and as the great Mankind used to say, have a nice day!! ;)
Tehmtnlion's Destructoid Blog
Beware Scrixx. He's a fierce dink-toucher. Other than that sorry for your loss and welcome to Destructoid.
UglyDuck's Destructoid Blog
This is about as dull a response as I could get from you... as unoriginal and time wasting as I could hope to expect. Bonus points for putting no thought or effort into actually reading what I said...

My point wasn't about drugs... I admittedly think that people who pay large amounts of money to deliberately and significantly diminish their lifespan are a bit mental, but that's up to you. I'm not getting into a debate about the far reaching and invisible consequences of supporting drugs... I just want you to write blogs that entertain.

Put simply, you picked up on something that is clearly a touchy subject to you, and made it an excuse to not listen to the advice at hand. This is a blog about video games; we generally don't come here for stories of personal loss. The community occasionally makes exceptions with longtime members or if it is video game related, but otherwise, you end up with Kyttie. Post anything you want, just make it somehow interesting.

It's a better intro post than what most people do - I don't even respond to most of them so consider that a compliment at least - but it sounds so immature, and not the good kind.

Incidentally, I despise that phrase - "The Haters." Embracing the notion that complaining gives you free, automatic and unrefusable membership to some organised group of Internet bandits who go round finding things to get deliberately worked up about.
Furnimus's Destructoid Blog
I like you too man. Your first post was better than most of the "O HAI IM NEW TO DESRUCTIOD LOL I LIEK TEH GAMES FOR THE XBOX AND PLAYSTATOIN THO" posts I see clogging up the stream.

Like everyone said though, put NVGR up in your title line, add an avatar, fill up your sidebar, and you are set. Your post had something to it at least. Just be cool and make sure you get that NVGR in there or else you will throw everyone into a hissy fit (as you have so gracefully found out).

Welcome to Destructoid. Don't forget rule #1 ... DON'T SUCK!

That is all for now ....
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Oh and just a bit of advice. Don't put profanity in the title of your blog. It does absolutely nothing for your blog at all except hurt your credibility before people even begin reading what you have to say. In most cases it will just give people a reason to get pissed at you, troll, and flame you. If you want to be taken seriously, or if you want to get people to read your blog, don't use it in future blogs.

Aside from that, welcome to the community ...
