My Mates Are Cooler Than Yours

So I'm off to Melbourne in a little over a month to give living there a crack. Just realised how soon that actually is and I don't know if I'm prepared. Money issues aside, what the duck am I going to do without my beloved crew? Yeah I said what the duck, don't judge me. No more unexpected Sunday night drinks til 3am, no more Weekly Wednesdays out, no more arvo beers in the sun. I don't even want to think about the gigs I'm going to miss with them. I'm a self-confessed sufferer of FOMO ("Fear Of Missing Out" for those of you who have been living under a rock), and after missing out on a mate's 21st Saturday gone because of work, and throwing a bit of a sook about it, I'm starting to wonder how bad this FOMO is going to be once I'm across the ditch. Facebook updates, drunken 2am txts/calls - I can see myself literally going insane. What to do, what to do?! Thinking I could cut myself off at all new levels, but would that make it worse? Mehhh, maybe I'll find better friends in Melb and not miss anyone/anything one bit. Highly unlikely. My friends are one of a kind. They have home made foam machines at their parties, and they wake up with 50 dessert forks or icing in their bag after a big night out (no cake, just the icing), and they laugh at people with me outside Pony, and they tarp surf, and they drunkenly tell girls that they only THINK they're hot but they're not. They look after me when I'm annihilated, they laugh at me when I'm annihilated, and they usually get me annihilated. Safe to say my friends are special. Tear! Only time will tell I guess. *Heavy sigh*

On a lighter note, looking forward to hopefully catching the above at some point over in abo-diginal-land. New shiet from Drapht. Discovered this guy about a month ago and dude is LEGIT. He's a little white guy from Australia, can kind of hear his Aussie twang here and there. Have only downloaded a bit of his music, but so far, I've got a soft spot for him. Beats are cool, this one's real groovy I'd say? 60s/70s feel? And the guy is funny. 'Drink, Drank, Drunk' is another goody that will make you agree, he's out to take the piss at times. I've come to the conclusion that he reminds me a bit of New Zealand's Homebrew. Comical kind of rap. Anyway blah blah blah, I liiiiike!

Hoping Drapht isn't like our wannabe Usher - J.Williams, who I saw up at Neighbourhood last night (thanks Emily by the way, for the casual Sunday vino that turned into shit talking 101 at 3am for drunken fools). Fucking LOL. He sang. Ordinary People by John Legend. In public. To HIS group of mates. Loudly. And then he did a back flip. Way to find some attention and embarass your mates Jay!
