Most people are like most people.
This makes me intensely happy. Almost painfully so.
Actually, everything is making me intensely happy today.
This awesome thing, which is completely safe for work, your home, and your kids, made me happier than almost anything. The only thing that didn't make me happy was a certain college class.
Today, I realized that my Political Science class is very boring, so boring, in fact, that I force myself to go everyday as penance for any horrible act I might commit in the far-away future. I imagine, that if I do commit some horrible act in the distant, distant future, that my transcript will save me from jail time. I've written a short film based on this concept, it would also work as a novel, epic poem, biography, cook book, ode, but probably not as an haiku.
My Movie
Cast
Michael as himself
Justice as the Judge
Windell as the Prosecutor
Justice: Michael, you stand accused of racketeering. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?
Michael: Not guilty, your honor.
Justice: And where is your attorney, Michael?
Michael: I will be defending myself today, your honor.
Justice: Very well. Windell, make your opening statement.
Michael: Your honor, before we get into all of this, I would to submit one piece of evidence. Michael removes the transcript from his "nice" briefcase. The transcript is in a clear plastic folder; very professional looking. This, your honor, is my college transcript. The bailiff gently takes the transcript from Michael and then proceeds to hand it to the judge. As you can see, in Fall of 2010, I was enrolled in Political Science. Now, I understand that racketeering is a very serious crime, but I believe I have already served my time.
Justice: You are free to go, kangaroo court, kangaroo court.
Okay, in reality, I would only have won the case because Windell is a very effeminate name, but that's aside from the point. And I don't know what racketeering is, but it sounds pretty bad.
I think about this post often. Is that weird? I can quote most of the first paragraph almost verbatim, and that's because I read this when you first posted it.
