Nothing goes the way it went when he did it.  Things catch fire.  Things become obxcenely sticky and obnoxcious, which so recently, you had seen him quietly slip into a giant plastic baggie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Now, I know what hating work is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    It's dreading those hours when there's no one to ask "so, how exactly do I cut the dough for twists?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                          Tomorrow night is gonna be fine.

Than, in a state of extreme consciousness, I decided that instead of going to sleep and snoozing through my first class, I would stay up all night, and go to my first class (9:00 AM) go home, and sleep through the day.   So, I drank another white russian, smoked a bit, and walked up to the train station, because a train was coming.  I watched the train go by;  quite theraputic.  I highly recomend it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           I saw a man standing, watching the train go by, just like I was.  I walked over, and began talking to him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                   "Trains are cool.  Yada yada yada...              and than we started talking about everything.  I felt obliged to stay and talk to him for 3 and a half hours, so I did.  Now I'm done.

I was like 5 years old, and I don't really remember being 5 years old at all. I just remember that one episode of Inspector Gadget... Now I don't have cable, and remember all too much.&lt;br /&gt;         Like today. I woke up around 9:30 to music, fell asleep at 9:35, woke up again at 9:45:27 (when I heard my dad outside and the music switched to "It's a motherfscker". Then I changed the music. Then I fell asleep again. Then my dad woke me up, and I fell asleep again. Then my mom came in and woke me up, and I fell asleep again. Then more profanities were slipping out the open mouths of my gigantic speakers, so I decided it was time to wake up. My foot hurt. (see previous post on sprained ankle), and my armpits hurt, (see previous post on my adventures in cabrillo on crutches, carrying a 50 pound bag of books)... etc...&lt;br /&gt;                              But it was a good day. I brushed my teeth yesterday. That made me very happy today. Not that I don't brush my teeth everyday. It's just one of the various exciting things that I like to recount as I sit in my room and not watch cable TV. ("gee", I say as I sit pondering the last few weeks, "I sure wish I could brush my teeth again right now"). I wish I had cable. I could save so much more brainspace by reformatting the old mental harddrive with a good dosage of MTV or SpikeTV.&lt;br /&gt;                     You have to see my new toothbrush...&lt;br /&gt;        It's so cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8314664-109650790996752196?l=discard-reality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://discard-reality.blogspot.com/feeds/109650790996752196/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8314664&amp;postID=109650790996752196' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314664/posts/default/109650790996752196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314664/posts/default/109650790996752196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://discard-reality.blogspot.com/2004/09/i-have-story-too.html' title='I have a story too...'/><author><name>An o nym.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07138727142634863761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/marco%20web.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314664.post-109650049472666149</id><published>2004-09-29T16:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-09-29T16:28:14.726-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I spoke, and they heard me not</title><content type='html'>Well well well well well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                          So.   I can't afford cable.   Or at least that's what I thought.  But what do I know?  I'm just a lowly consumer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                The bill was 2 weeks late, and I was still as broke as a Saigon Poker champion. &lt;br /&gt;                                     I decided I'd better call the old  cable dudes up and tell them there was no money coming from this house.&lt;br /&gt;                                     and so, with a ringy ding ding, I was connected to someone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       "Hello, this is Christina.  I'm here to prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that you &lt;u&gt;can&lt;/u&gt; afford cable.  Job, after he lost all his cattle and children, and got boils, still could afford cable.  And not basic local cable.  We're talkin HBO, and STARZ and..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                    (I have to interupt this story, because I just saw a one armed man.  He lives across the street.  I never even knew there was a one armed man just a stone's throw away from my house.  Hey, that gives me an idea...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Now that we're through with that, back to the story at hand...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                               "... Comedy Central, and E, and VH1, and MTV, and all that great rubbish.  He had no cash, so we accepted payment from him in the form of decorative potschards with paintings on them.  If you have no cash, we can let you have cable for 2 years, at the end of which we come and collect payment in the form of one of your kidneys.  Or you could get the 10 year plan; you get everything I mentioned for 10 years, and we take your first born son."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        I get confused easily,  I don't like confrontation.  I'm allergic to strangers.  She kept talking.  She kept lowering prices.  She kept giving me more and more and more.  And all she wanted in return was $45.05 a month.  She even reduced the bill I owed her from $130.00 to $87.07.  I almost cried.  She was so nice and wonderful to me.  I didn't deserve this kind of person.  Or cable.  But I accepted it anyways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              Than, a week later, (that's today)  I realized that when I said I couldn't afford it, I meant it.  I paid the bill I owed them of $87.07, and gave them a call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         "listen, I realize how much sacrafice and blood and sweat you put into fiving me all the channels I could possibly care for, and even about 115 that I couldn't possibly care for, and ask only $45.05 in return.  I realize you should get some sort of peace prize for this noble work you do, of sending out some pittance of shelter and sedation from the evils of reality.  But, in my present condition, with my present check book, I can no longer support your noble cause."&lt;br /&gt;         "Excuse me while I transfer you to the correct agent."&lt;br /&gt;         "Hello this is Marsha."&lt;br /&gt;         "Marsha?  These calls are recorded for assurance of acceptable service, right?  well, could you just play back what I just said, because it was to long to repeat."&lt;br /&gt;         *pause*&lt;br /&gt;         "so, mister Hulter, you can't even afford $45.05 a month?  Well, than I guess we have no other option than to give you next month free."&lt;br /&gt;         "Um,      thank you.    I'm sorry I doubted your humanitarian cause.  I should have known you would find a way for me to stay as one of your people..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                          It's just such a beautiful thing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                   It's kinda wierd to.  a week ago I was $130.00 in debt, and now I get a month of free cable.  And not just basic local cable.  We're talkin expanded cable, HBO, and STARZ, and Comedy Central, and E, and VH1, and MTV, and all that great rubbish..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            I love how they make me feel so victorious, as if I've just won an amazing prize, when I'm still paying to have my time wasted...         &lt;br /&gt;                                                                               dam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              Charlie Brown would get raped if he were real. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8314664-109650049472666149?l=discard-reality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://discard-reality.blogspot.com/feeds/109650049472666149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8314664&amp;postID=109650049472666149' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314664/posts/default/109650049472666149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314664/posts/default/109650049472666149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://discard-reality.blogspot.com/2004/09/i-spoke-and-they-heard-me-not.html' title='I spoke, and they heard me not'/><author><name>dead in a hundred years</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14747475821240148609</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EWql35XKYEc/SnjOau5WCzI/AAAAAAAAAAU/9YM6z2UBKPA/S220/Snapshot_20090712_13.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314664.post-109644177823580398</id><published>2004-09-28T23:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-09-29T00:13:29.400-07:00</updated><title type='text'>cute...</title><content type='html'>Today was far too cute for me...&lt;br /&gt;Like how I hobbled aimlessly on crutches all around the Cabrillo campus looking pathetic, developing sores on my armpits and wrists for all the painful weight and misery I bundled along with me.

That was cute too, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;I hate cute... or am I using it wrongly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I skipped one and a half classes today. I made two people sad, one angry, three happy, and several scared. It was a halfass day. Tomorrow I hope to do better. I'm not at college to make people happy. Today me and some friends decided that it would be an interesting adventure to overtake the Cabrillo cafeteria by force, and hold that rank kitchen hostage until they promised to put a Little Ceaser's in.&lt;br /&gt;Hooray for the $5 pizza.
