And "Timber" Goes The Tree
"It's getting to be a bit chilly in here, did you leave the freezer open?" Said the TV. "By no, I haven't got the foggiest idea where that certain breeze could be coming from." Replies the fridge. "I'm all shut-up." Said the stove. Just then, the fridge hears a very faint voice. "Oooooh." "Did you hear that?" Asks the TV. "How can I? I don't have ears." Answered the microwave. "Oooooh." Goes the voice again. The TV, being so wise in its technology, figures out what it is. "Oh, did Andrew leave the air on again? Didn't someone tell him he's living in the north now?" "Nope." Goes the microwave. "Wasn't my fault." Says the fridge. "Well, don't blame me just because I got the biggest mouth." Says the stove. "Well that's exactly the reason why we should blame you." The TV announces. "You don't deserve the right to be plugged in..." "BOOM!" The power on all of the appliances and the TV go out. "Oh, snap! Now look who done it now. Someone gonna have to do some serious explaining to do." Says the toaster. They all look out the window to see a large tree just about to topple over. A huge strike of lightning then hits the top of the tree, shattering it from top to bottom. The tree slowly lets go of its balance and falls, smashing into the ground, shaking the ground for miles. Just as it was ready to fall on to the ground, a loud, almost deafening "TIMBER!!" was let out by the falling tree. Thus concluding that a tree that falls with no one around to hear it, does let out an extremely loud "timber", but only in the proper location of a person's stance would determine whether or not they hear it.
What's funny about that was the 3rd year Journalism students were in class this morning, supposedly writing news articles, but they easily got distracted from the sight outside their window of falling trees surrounding the college. Their teacher said, "well, would you look at that, that could be some story to write about." The class looked at her confused. She repeated the phrase again. "That could be some story to write about." The smartest one in the class looked up at her and said, "it seems nice, but who are we going to interview? Who out there could give us a quote?" Are you serious? Are you f-ing serious? You got 3rd year Journalism students, all desperate for a news story, looking suspiciously out the window at the tree that had fallen over, when in directly the same spot your eyes are glancing at, an f-ing story is taking place right in front of you! Dammit, if I was in that class, I would've ran straight out the door by now because that would've been my story. And who cares about a direct quote, I'll just go interview the tree that fell! "Did you scream anything as you were falling? Did you have such a bad relationship with the subject who did this to you? "And if the tree wasn't responding, I'd ask the ground for secondary perspectives. "How did it feel when you killed the tree?"
So this mysterious leaf was following me today, and every time I turned around, it stopped. It was like every time the wind stopped to take a breather, so did the leaf. Thankfully, the next time I checked on it, it was getting ran over by a car. I laughed in its face afterward, but then I thought, the only reason it was following me was because it was trying to get down to our level. After all, it must've suffered a long fall.
As we were leaving class today, he dropped his things and I exclaimed he must've lost his mind, so now he's gotta go and pick it up. Then we smelled what appeared to be carrots and celery, and I said, "we would be so hyper if we were rabbits right now." Another stupid moment brought to you by yours truly. (Don't get to hard on yourself, you didn't do it).
I woke up this morning to the recording of my screeching voice yelling at the top of my lungs set as my alarm, and it was too dark, so I couldn't see the button to turn it off. I just decided to keep pressing them and eventually it will go off. Sure enough, after a couple seconds, it stopped. I rolled over to check the time, and it was only quarter after 7. I thought, now why was the alarm set so early? I rolled right back over to sleep for another hour. I woke up half an hour later and turned on the TV to see what the time was. It was 9:15! I was late for class! I guess when I was reaching out for all those buttons, I mistakenly set the clock backwards an hour, to make it seem like I had an extra hour to sleep. I moved extra fast that day, I'm sure I must've caught up to the speed of light.
Hold on while I check my texts. Sweet.
Halloween and the municipal elections are just around the corner, and I finally found out who will be running for mayor in the North Bay election. But it's crap if you're 17, and you're birthday is on the 26th. Luckily I don't know anyone of that nature. However, if I did, I would laugh. And as Halloween seems to be underway, me and my roommates are throwing some sort of 'rave' with techno beats I found and strobe lights he bought at Dollarama. I can assure ya that it will likely become a party pooper if Dustin starts the macarena.
Don't know if you saw my latest posts to Facebook. Probably you haven't, so go and check them out. One was jokes written specifically for the Chilean miners and the rescue, one was on college life and how it has been different from everyday 'normal' life, (including how all the super hot girls actually talk to me now!), and the other was a picture I did referencing the "Social Network" movie poster, having my face behind very important catch phrases and words I enjoy. So don't check it out if you haven't already done so, and for everyone else, do so.
That's it for me this October. I'll catch ya next month for even more laughter...or whatever. (For your information, I'm not like a G6. nor do I know what the hell a G6 is.)
