Maybe it was Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure that got me in the mood to play with a rubix cube again, or maybe it was just that the looming tension between the cube and I could go on no longer. I’ve never been able to solve one and it’s always pissed me off. Yeah, I’m sure I could look it up on YouTube and work it out in 5 minutes, but it’s just not the same...
I’ll be honest, I still haven’t solved it – but I did get bloody close, and the fact I didn’t get there had nothing to do with a lack of soundtrack. I suppose it’s testament to the over-the-top pomp and circumstance romanticism to which I ascribe the rubix cube that I chose Muse’s absurdly anthemnic ‘Uno’ to accompany my efforts.
With each twist and turn, I could feel Matthew Bellamy urging me on. I could be number one! Replace the blue with red, focus on the centrepiece. I could rule the whole world! Slide, rotate and repeat. I was having so much fun! But in the end, I threw it all away.
My mind has an arse, and it was kicked hard by a rubix cube. But I don’t care. It means nothing to me.
