Come, Let's Fuck Off. There's Nothing Here.

Die Antwoord, Max Normal TV and the Constructus Corporation taught me:

• being/looking different to everyone else is better when you are comfortable doing so/when doing so is really you
• don't be scared, go all out, they can hate but then again they dont understand
• treat those who dont with the least amount of energy as possible
• do not sleep too much
• do it yourself including cute little stuff toys and penis drawings
• trip the haters out by telling them what they've always wanted to hear in a serious tone

The also taught me you look stupid, coz you look like everyone else.

There was a point in time where I watched all the youtube videos and read all the internet articles with the keywords 'Die Antwoord'. I paid $50 for a crappy Die Antwoord tshirt from the official website. They've put a spell on me and I'm addicted to them. When I play the Constructus Corporation album 'Ziggurat' i instantly pick up a needle and thread and start altering my clothes. These guys stand for so much more than I can explain. It takes an open mind to know the meaning behind their apparent superficial, cocky and seemingly typical song topics. They stand for individuality, creativity, achieving goals and being productive.

I fookin' love these guys.

Die Antwoord Interview with Tim Noakes

Max Normal - Love Is

To you and your quest for complete self sufficiency

Choose the quickest way between two points

Don't waste your energy on bullshit interaction

Don't be scared of anything except letting yourself down

Out-do yourself, work harder than anyone else... now

Make very clear distinctions between parasites and creators

Be a creator instead of a second-hand artificial flavour

Do not concern yourself with anyone's opinion of your methods, save your own

Be three steps ahead of everyone, I promise you'll make it home

Do not sleep too much,

Be firm yet supple, use me as a weapon, Max Normal flirts with trouble,

Put me on the front-line. I cannot be destroyed

You know the deal, anti-personnel spells get deployed

Treat people who do not understand what we do with the least amount of energy as possible

Invent the future - then manifest it

Keep yourself in check, sir. Don't forget it, decide exactly what it is that you want

Then go out and get it without requiring anything of anyone

Spark something new that'll last forever

Stay invisible till you invincible then set your plan in motion

This is war, we battle demons, become the perfect assassin

This next video, I love. I watch it, have it play in the background as I work. It's too gangsta, and not the gangsta you know abou. My favourite part especially, comes in at the very end 14:08. Just listen.

I'm old enough to bleed

I'm old enough to breed

I'm old enough to crack a brick in your teeth while you sleep
