the most inconsistently-toned blog post ever!

I was going to post this on the jerfgoke blog, but figured that none of you probably ever check it anymore since it hasn't been updated in almost a year. I'm going to make a one year post-iversary entry when the time comes around. As a wise man never actually said, "I'm like Haley's comet, only blog when I got it."

Anyhoo. Got a lot on my mind today. Supposed to be reading for class which starts in an hour, but can't because my mind is full of cobwebs and little banshees. Yes, I do personify the voices in my head as creatures from the "Ghostbusters" animated series (and not the lame Ghostbusters, but the cool one with the gorilla.) It's a long story that I don't really want to get into, but let's just say that lately I feel like Uncle Rico stuck in my has-been days and wishing I had at least tested the waters of some other opportunities. I hardly feel that my destiny is set to be where I am now. I should have been the next M Night Shymalan—or however you spell it—except that my movies wouldn't suck. Rather than rehash the same clichéd formula with a ridiculous twist at the end I would rehash cheezy Indiana Jones movies or Run Lola Run ripoffs. And no, I would not be doing this as a porn director, you sick-o. ((On a side note, I just checked my bottle top—I won a free 20oz Mountain Dew with the purchase of another 20oz dew. Woo hoo.)) Ok, back to reality.

Is it just me, or does anybody else need a change of scenery right now? I think the zeitgeist of the moment seems that way. Reading other blogs right now gives that impression. ((One more side note: if you drive a Corolla for a few months and go back to driving a Focus, it totally feels like you're driving a go-kart. Try it!)) Slick is the only one who never seems to be affected by, what's the word? Ummm... I think it was in a Rammstein song. Maybe Herzeleid? Anyway, my Herzeleid is calling me, so it's time to get to class, zone out, and let the animated ghouls pick me apart for three hours until I can get home and watch American Idol. Such is the life of jerfgoke these days, and I suspect many other Americans.

"If you're going to the fair, never wear clothing with your name on it. The carnies won't leave you alone."

Food for thought.

High School Revisited

"you know why i like high school girls?"


I was looking over some of the old posts and I stumbled upon the one above in particular. (Read it before continuing.) It never grabbed my attention at the time it was posted, but this time it jumped out at me and I totally know exactly what you're saying about high school romance. Your world was just so much smaller, and you had a really small pot to choose from, so to speak. It felt like when something didn't work out, a big piece of that world was taken away and you had a whole lot fewer options (Being that not only do you lose him/her but all of their friends are basically off-limits too). That's why everything feels exaggerated and the slightest thing seems devastating. Being opened up to the real world now, there are a whole hell of a lot more options. That's why looking back it seemed like being in a bubble.



Maybe that's why so many guys and girls carelessly become such, basically for lack of a better word, whores. Their bubble finally opened up, and they'll jump into anything without caring if they actually care about the other person, because they know if it doesn't work out they have plenty of other options to go with. Then you end up with, well, the world that we currently live in. These people that get devastated by one of these (precisely the right words) pricks/bitches just can't trust that great person when they find them. So everybody's in a world of hurt.




*Disclaimer*
There are always exceptions. Don't read this and think (or think that I think) there is no hope and no matter what everyone is screwed. Things still work out. (Usually... and probably with much more pain and suffering than is necessary.) Just remember to keep your eyes open and your thinking straight. With all those options, you don't need to jump into something that just doesn't feel right.

Watch out for those "pricks/bitches," but watch closer for that sincere soul.















(Though, that great person isn't always the right person... You see how flippin complex our world is??)
