It turns out I’m borrowing a Nintendo Wii for a few days because I just have to. There is something I need to write for an online magazine, which has not been launched yet, and so that’s where the Wii comes in. I will tell you about that when it is released.
Anyway last night reminded me classically of my school days. I…like many guys at school…just had to draw a massive kok on every single black board in the school! I don’t know why but it was just something we did. Like an inner desire to showcase ourselves…or something like that.
My Geography teacher, Gary, would see myself and my buddies laughing ourselves mental, crack a little grin and then say:
“Ahhhh small things for small minds!”
Basically it has always been the little things in life that amuse me. Drawing koks on school boards. Throwing water bombs at people at school.
Wheel spinning when you are driving your parents car. Driving onto fields and doing donuts on the lawn! Trying to hit the guys who pick up balls at the driving range. Trying to get a photo of Neville at the Cavendish movies. Drinking a case of beer and then trying to come right.
Anyway last night I found myself going on a bit of a fishing excursion, from my bedroom. I was messing about on the Nintendo Wii when I came across the fishing game, which is probably one of the simplest and most mindless games on the planet. Honestly, fishing on the TV screen?
I started playing and about two hours later I had to force myself to stop because the situation I was in was absurd! I was getting hectically excited as I was catching some big fish and racking up some top scores. The funny thing is, I was having the time of my life(Don’t tell anyone) It’s a basic game and you use the controller as your fishing rod, and all you need to do is wait for the fish to bite, and then pull it out. That’s it really and it’s not hard at all.
You get various points for the fish you catch, and you get PUNISHED for catching fish that are too small. It’s kind of like that time I scored that 16 year old in Tin Roof…um…wait…I should keep that on the down low.
You also get major points for catching the big fish. When I caught the big beast neighbours could hear me screaming, and then shouting “GOT ME A MARLIN!” At 1am, nice.
Old lady Bernice who lives next door to me said to me this morning that she heard the screams last night and then she asked how Kate was.
“Sorry old Lady Bernice?”
“Sean I heard the screams last night, was Kate not over again?”
“Oh no don’t be silly! She has not been round in about three days old lady Bernice”
“Oh because she always makes those noises when you are thumping her”
“Yes old lady Bernice, I know, I am a love master, but she is away for work for a few days”
“Oh that’s nice but you do take care Sean and treat her well she is a swell gal”
“Thanks old lady Bernice, and don’t you go dying on me!”
Old lady Bernice is the sweetest old lady, and what she was referring to was the fact that I have lately been bringing this model home, and we go on all night, and because I am quite a Don Juan, she can’t help but screaming and waking the neighbours. So that’s the story there.
Riiiiight…
This is what we’re dealing with
Small fry: That’s what she said
Got me a marlin!
But when you get to my age and find yourself playing this until 1am, you begin to worry about the state of your mental health…I bet there were people last night at that time partying, pulling angels and having a great time. And there I was catching fake fish in my room. I had an awesome time though, and I will probably do some more fishing today.
Right after I finsih this game of Wii tennis.
The Nintendo Wii is awesome though and I’d highly recommend it as a time waster of choice, obviously in second place to this website.
Catching fish on Nintendo Wii at 1am on a Tuesday morning…I am too cool…I mean…what’s not to like?
