This gap year is driving me crazy. They should of called it crazy year. Or at least something less appealing than gap year. Gap year sounds so mysterious. Anyways, now that I realise that I can’t play cricket for Australia ever and I am not nearly qualified to undertake education to become a doctor, I think my last hope lies in the same area as all other professional failures: the rap game. Wise man Ameya “OJ Ameya” Hanamshet is widely outspoken on his views that being a black man in the slums in America is easily the best life possible due to the wide career opportunities available. And I quote verbatim:
Ameya: It’s easy for them. You either become a rapper or a basketball player.
Wise words indeed. But first, before I start ‘spitting them lyrics’, I am in need of a rap name. I mean Deva Nirthanakumaran isn’t really cutting it, I’m afraid. I need something short. Something catchy. Something I can say in the intro part of a song just in case people don’t know the artist of the song they had just illegally downloaded. Just in case. Look at some of the rappers at the moment: Jay Z, J. Cole, Eminem, Lil Wayne (Swami will hate me if I leave him out). All short with two or three syllables. I have a feeling that my 10 syllable full name isn’t gonna work. Yes, my full name does indeed have 10 syllables. Go ahead and count it.
I was thinking of going for the good old first name – first syllable of last name approach, but Deva–Nirth or D-Nirth doesn’t have a very nice ring to it. I don’t have any cool puns either (I’m reserving all ‘devastate’ kinda puns for cricket journalists), so that’s not looking too good either.
And on top of that, I’m not too much of a fan of the –eezy names either. I mean Weezy is awesome for Marcus, but I mean Marcus is different. In a good way. But yeah, kinda stuck at the moment. Anyways, I have to jet. I got to go waste some more time doing something else useless. I’ll pop into uni sometime soon just to get out of this house. I’ll leave you now with something I have hypothesised through my recent research: if Phat isn’t getting lucky, neither should you.
PS. You know when you are eating chocolate powder, like Nesqik or as in my case, Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (high-class version of Nesqik. Tastes rubbish as a ‘drinking chocolate’, but awesome as the powder), and then it like goes up your nose somehow and you start coughing? Yeah, happens to the best of us. Anyways, try adding spoonfuls of nutella to your powder. Trust me.
