One morning in the recent past, I was walking to class. It was cold. I was late I think. But I wasn't worried - I think I had a cigarette, but also a little ditty by Fiona Apple came up on my iPod, called "Extraordinary Machine". So I was jamming along. And what should pass but a hearse. Bummer. It had an orange flag, though, and I have never seen that before. And all of the trailing vehicles had their own orange flags. "Funeral", they said. Read. I thought - orange? I mean I love orange, don't get me wrong, but is it really the most appropriate hue for such matters? Certainly there's the visibility element, but I really think you need to utilize the skull 'n' crossbones insignia here. Really give everyone you pass a sense of gloom and a reminder of their own mortality. and a reminder of PIRATES! So yeah I guess pirates kinda have the market cornered on the skeletal icons, but hey that could add a hint of adventure, eh? Some rowdies try and hijack the casket? Looking for gold, find a dead body - the perfect distraction while you're burying the treasure in the cemetery across town.
But perhaps that was just the dead's wishes. Of course, I heard that orange flags are widespread nowadays for these sort of ceremonies, but you know, people are liars. So i'ma believe what i damn well please. and in this reality of my own invention, I reckon I would probably have flags on the train, but they would be very large, flying on the top of each vehicle. Now yes, some of the taller automobiles might not be able to make any clearance, but I'm sure there are other ways to the graveyard. And hey, more publicity for my funeral! but we'll get to that in a minute. So these flags - they
attackers find a dead body...you know what I'm bored. This is boring. moving on.
Sometimes I walk in a silly fashion. And most often it's for no one else's amusement but my own. I think it has given me light to moderate back trouble. These are the important lessons in life.
My hangover is like my body saying : "it's going to be a shitty day. WAKE UP ASSHOLE YOU'RE MISSING IT!"
In the course of my lifetime, I would like to be honored with a banner-raising/number-retired ceremony? I was watching Steve Yzerman's ceremony on the tyoob at the parents' house, and there was the pomp and the sentimentality and the detroit red wings has been the team that i have followed closest for the longest time or whatever. So it was touching for me. And I thought to myself, "I would like a version of this to happen to me in some sort of activity i am involved in". But then they brought out the chevy prize vehicle and were all like "and he's gonna be going home with this brand new chevy truck suv thing that's so cool". something like that. and they played this like midwest middle-age middle-class party music and had the vehicle like circling on the ice. ew...i'm gonna change the channel i think.
y'ever look at yourself in the mirror or think about something you just said or did, and wonder what the hell kind of person am I? what right have i to exist? what a ridiculous conclusion this has become - my life. I think the cut on my finger feels infected. See? I only wrote that for my own enjoyment from consonance. Absurd, no? but also because it hurts, but probs not because it is infected. I don't think. I don't know.
I.D.T.I.D.K.
I've got a clock face and I don't know which way is twelve. that is a way better title.
