Random Words in the Morning
Published by Fehed 3 years, 3 months agoI was sitting in front of my PC listening to ‘Bloodwork’ by 36 Crazyfists, with the sun shining through my window. Time: 10:01 am.
Taking the third or fourth bite out of the first half of my grilled cheese sandwich, a thought suddenly pops into my head. “School seems like so much fun right now compared to work. Maybe school life was better after all.”. So I let that marinate in my mind for a minute or two before I regress to “What the fuck am I saying?!? I hated school! They gave us homework. If we didn’t get it done, there’d be consequences. Exams!! My God, the exams!! Urgh.”.
A little while later, I switched off my monitor and I was just about to get up and head to work when a paragraph of text suddenly pops into my head. The urge to write it down made me sit again and type it out.
“We will educate you so that you may become a useful member of society. Those who can not be educated, we will lock up and forget about till they become old. Then we’ll make them pack groceries till they die. We shall use their corpses to fertilise our trees and feed our cattle. So you see, someday even they will become useful members of society.”
Randomness is so weird sometimes.
Speaking of weird randomness — 36 Crazy Fists (assuming it’s the same band, and not another band with the same name) got their start in Anchorage, Alaska, and I DJd at one of the clubs they used to play at pretty often. Here’s a couple flyers I did for the club when they were playing there, back in the mid-90’s.
Kind of funny for a guy from Anchorage who now lives in Seattle to be reading a website of a girl from Thailand and a guy from England, to see the English guy listening to a band I watched get started. Gotta love the ‘net!
