Douche chill of the century!?… (this is car related)…

          A “douche-chill” is when you see something so ridiculous/wrong that you actually feel it. I get them in my back and they run just left of spine, (the ancient Chinese referred to this area as the “Chi line”). The “douchier” the item or event, the higher the feeling runs up my back, and the longer the duration of the cringing accompanied by shuttering. Today (1/26/11), I saw the single douchiest thing I’ve ever seen. If it were any douchier I’m sure I’d be dead; the chill ran from my tail bone to the back of my throat.

            

       While driving I saw a 2007 Dodge Charger, and this dude was so impressed with his purchase he decided to name his car. He named it “The Mayor”. Douche chill level one and two were mild: horrible name, not a wonderful car, (just ask ANY law enforcement personnel driving one!). Then it hit me like a knife in the back; producing a 5+ minute douche-chill with shuttering. This ratty haired bucked of crap picked the name because the Mayor holds more power within his public position than a Judge! **The Judge**!!!!!!!!!!! For those who don’t know… The GTO Judge is “probably” the 2^nd most sought after classic muscle car on earth; the first being the Hemi Cuda! If there were a Mt Rushmore for American automobiles it would definitely be on there, and a professionally restored GTO Judge can fetch over $200k. The Charger is as pedestrian as cars get and it’s not even really in the same category… It’s kinda like a high school band calling out Led Zeppelin. I’m all for picking fights, but pick ones that make sense, you fucking hillbilly. I hope he thinks funny… Cuz I hope he gets killed!

                               I know this didn’t convey my true feelings.

Thank You

Pink Floyd is the answer.

       I've been asked on many occasions why Pink Floyd is regarded as my favorite band. I never really had a great answer for that question. I think it's because as I grow more worldly and sophisticated the messages in the music also evolve. 15 years ago I would have agreed with you if you said Comfortably Numb is about drugs. Today I would argue that it's a heart wrenching description of a point in a man's life when the fire of childish optimism and wonderment has died, leaving him an assimilated, soulless shell.

   It is refreshing to listening to something again for the first time.

                      I am well aware I am (probably) not the only person on the internet saying something like this. I just find it comforting that my experiences and scholastic endeavors have given me the faculties to discern new meanings from the things I loved as a youth. It is proof that all my years of screwing things up and struggling have produced something tangible in me. Reminders like this are much appreciated and give me the encouragement to keep trying, keep evolving, and to never loose my inner-child.

A photo I took on Saturday

I took this. I think It's cool

Peeling tar off my soul.

         This is the first day in a long while I was up before noon. I’m not a huge fan of mornings, and even less a fan of being awake. What’s the point of being awake if it’s 15 degrees outside? This level of boredom is dangerous, and sad. I could run to the mall, or get coffee, but I’d just end up back here. I have all the video games and movies one needs to be the coolest 7^th grader on earth, but these only cloak the feeling of emptiness for a short while. The thought of turning on the TV makes me want to vomit and cry. I shouldn’t be complaining. But I am. This is boring. I’m just waiting on the platform for the train. A butt-load of activity is approaching the platform, but it’s not here yet. I take no solace in being able to see the train. I flick it off because it’s not here and it’s slow. I just want the semester to start now and I've never wanted to do homework so bad in my life. Nothing to do now but wait and be cold.     

              I am over the “September to remember”, now I must re-find the path. Being a gentleman I will move on sans tirade and childish name calling. I made mistakes and that’s all there is to it. I learned so much and will not lose the lessons learned. To say I’ve never felt better would be disrespectful and untrue. I learned that I am capable of love, the feeling of being in love is the fucking incredible, and losing love should come with a $20 million dollar government check to ease the pain. Truly it is the contrast between heaven and hell! Yet with a dead heart and a shit-stained soul I sit here awaiting my next challenge. I await the seasons change both outside and in my soul.
