today’s rant: school’s out forever, originally 8/16/07

for the first time in 19 years, i don't have to go back to school in the upcoming weeks.  this is because instead of paying money to have people with PhDs yell at me all day, i now get paid to have people with PhDs yell at me all day.  that's right... dun dun dun... i'm a working man.

one thing that i think i'm going to miss is the semi-intelligent conversation between peers and from student to professor.  i don't really get that anymore.  i mean sure, there's the old guy at work who will talk to me about something to do with engineering, like how his car's air intake was a bad design or some other shit that makes me want to take a screwdriver to my eye.  unfortunately, that cannot compare to late-night drunken philosophical symposiums between close friends.  i believe matt damon once said that drinking makes you talk real loud, but not tends not to matter because everything you say is real smart.  what could be better than a verbal argument about the proper way to throw a frisbee down a dorm hall?  "you gotta bounce it off the wall!"  "fuck you and your wall!  you gotta float that piece of shit!"  sure, i could get drunk and argue with myself all night, but then i would always win, and where's the challenge in that?

i say "semi-intelligent" conversation between student and professor because most of the time, the shit i said didn't make much sense.  a word of advice:  it doesn't really matter.  just talking in any class, from gender issues in literature to quantum physics, will practically get off any professor.  they love that shit.  i know because my grandma was a professor.  her motto to learn by is "just write/read any ol' shit."  why do you think i keep writing this stuff?  speak up in class and you may even spark up a debate, which is a perfect way to waste away the time in class instead of drifting asleep and dreaming of what porn to masturbate to later that day.

let's go mets.
