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.

Welcome to DTOID
You've met me at a very strange time in my life. *pixies kick in*
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.
"The tragedy"... Jesus christ.
-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.
So in short, fuck you
Also, you might want to get an avatar, and fill out your sidebar profile with some video games that you like or something.
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!! ;)
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.
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).
Resident Unknown,

i should be spanked...
That is all for now ....
Aside from that, welcome to the community ...
