FallingMarc 0 #1 August 30, 2002 Guess who's back at school and stuck back at a desk on this wonderful Thursday night/Friday morning? YES! ME! Guesssss who's gonna sit here and read whatever thoughts pop into my head over the next several boring hours? YES! YOU! Don't you have something better to do? Of COURSE not! Is it just me, or does this new song by the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy REALLY sound like someone with no rhythm played a track once, poorly, and they just looped it so that it was the same every time? Saturday is my birthday. I will celebrate by doing the same thing I do almost every Saturday. I will eat gingersnaps and drink hot tea. No, wait, I mean I will eat gingersnaps and go skydiving. Yes, that's right, I have less than 24 hours left to be a teenager. Is there some right of passage I'm supposed to complete at this point? Or should I just go get hammered tomorrow night? Maybe it'll help me pick up naive freshman chicks. "Hi. I'm 20. Wanna fuck?" It's better than "nice shoes," but I guess it's still not quite as attractive (at least in a pragmatic sense) as "I'm 21." There's a maintenance request form on the pile here from a girl-"Toilet clogged! Please help ASAP!" We have a plunger here at the desk. I plunged a girl's toilet yesterday, too. Why can't they plunge their own crap? I would personally be quite embarrassed if I called someone in to my bathroom and said, "Look at the size of my turd! It's too big to flush! Can you help me? I can't deal with it myself, it's just way too massive of a turd for me!" I'm an RA this year. My floor seems cool so far, and I like being there to help out when they need it, but it sucks that I can't (or at least it's *really* discouraged) party with them. It would reduce my credibility when I'm on the night shift, if I had to bust a party in a room. Oh well. Shift happens. Sorry, I stole that pun from a Dilbert comic. Yeah, I'm a dork. It's 4 am. I want the people across the lobby to leave and turn off MTV. One, I brought my guitar and I'm writing a couple of songs that I wanted to work on tonight, and two, I really don't think I can stand more of this crap MTV plays. Sorry to anyone who's offended by that, but I really can't. One 5 second long 3 note bass riff that repeats for 4 minutes straight while a bunch of people go "boom, get out the way, get out the way, get out the way, boom," the whole time does not qualify as a song, at least not a song worth listening to. Hey! They left! Groovy! 4:40... I should hit post before the computer crashes and I lose all this brilliant work. Updates as warranted. M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingMarc 0 #2 August 30, 2002 5:25- Still bored. Just in case you were curious. Songwriting sucks with no actual writing going on. I would pay cash for inspiration. There's an ATM by the door. It hasn't worked for a week. It's kinda funny when people punch it. Uh oh... I think I've reached the point of zoning out- I just stared at that last sentence for about 10 minutes. Time for caffeine. Someday, someone will make a movie about my life, and I doubt tonight will make a very interesting scene. Well, I guess it wouldn't be a real Ruminations without a good cynical jab at the opposite sex and whine about my lack of a sex life, so here goes: I'm getting really good at totally hitting it off with a woman, then meeting her awesome boyfriend. It's better than meeting her asshole boyfriend, but at least when that happens, I don't feel quite as guilty about silently wishing they'd break up. The sun is starting to come up. I wish I could actually see it, but all I can see from here is the buildings across the street starting to get lighter. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch a sunrise in quite the same way after seeing the morning from a hot air balloon over Rantoul. Skydiving kicks so much ass. 6:15- I brought some homework down. Maybe I should do that. 6:18- Nah. 6:55- One more hour. Bladder becoming uncomfortable, but bathroom is at LEAST 20 feet away. I can handle it. I can hold on...

diverdriver 6 #3 August 30, 2002 Remember when MTV just played cool videos? Well.....maybe you don't. They turned into crap about 10 years ago. MTVx was pretty cool but then they replaced it with some crap Rap (there's a difference between good Rap and bad Rap) MTV version. So we have crap Rap on MTV and MTV2 which was promissing now sucks (they used to just play cool videos too). Then came MTVx on our cable system but was then replaced with more crap Rap. You know what Notorious B.I.G. stands for? Burried In the Ground. Sympathetic? No, not really. Live by the sword. Die by the sword. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingMarc 0 #4 August 30, 2002 Is it just me, or is a cute girl wearing a loose sweatsuit, but not so baggy that you can't tell she's got a good figure, one of the most phenomenally attractive things in the world? Why is that? I really can't wait until tomorrow. Wake up 20, go skydiving a lot, leave my rig for a free reserve repack (b-day present from my parents), come back, drink with friends. Throw in some action and a good jam and it's the perfect day. And a really good sandwich. Throw that in there too. Never underestimate the power of a really good sandwich to make everything else better. I mean a really good sandwich. The kind of sandwich that only comes once in a great while, when you're really hungry, and you know that the perfect sandwich would just turn your life around. The kind of sandwich upon which whose bread I am not worthy to apply mayonnaise! The sandwich to end all sandwiches! That kind of sandwich would make the day complete. You know the cliche about "staying up so late it's early"? What about when you stay up so late it's not even early anymore? Well, it's 7:52, and my relief should be coming any time now. I'd say it's almost time to stop RUMINating, and start SLEEPINating! Ahaha. I'd like to thank you all, and in closing, I want to remind you, next time you're in a public restroom, don't be embarrassed to say, "Look at the size of my turd!" Nobody here is.

Jessica 0 #5 August 31, 2002 There are many comments I would like to offer, but I forgot them all as soon as I thought of them (ADD). Let's see what I saved on the clipboard.... QuoteThat kind of sandwich would make the day complete. Oh! That reminded me of a Kids in the Hall sketch. Monologue by Bruce. Funny. Poignant. Disgusting. www.kithfan.org/work/transcripts/four/sandwich.htmlSkydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingMarc 0 #6 August 31, 2002 I don't remember when MTV was good, but that's really only because I didn't get cable till a couple of years ago. Kids in the Hall rocks. No, Kids in the Hall rawks.

AndyMan 7 #7 August 31, 2002 QuoteRemember when MTV just played cool videos? Yeah, but Much Music is still good. You probably won't like it because it's Canadian. You can get it on DirectTV and some Cable Systems. I had it on Cablevision in Cleveland, but not on RCN in Chicago. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.
