raining in syracuse
i was walking to school the other day when i heard someone refer to the university in an interesting way, they said: "this circus is falling down the rankings, if it doesn't 'buck up' its going to be on its knees begging for students to come here." i was of course puzzled by this statement, because i think that the university is doing pretty well, considering that it costs like $30 000 per year in tuition alone. if we continue the metaphor, we might even say that " the big top is crumbling down" and we could be referring to the carrier dome or something like that. it is kind of a cool metaphor if you think about it. (well, ok, not really.)
so, right now it's raining in syracuse which sucks, however it is much better than having it snow, so i guess i should stop my complaining. so, something that everyone should know is that only fifty miles east of syracuse is ithaca, well actually it is more south than east, but the 50 miles bit is relatively accurate. i'm not actually sure why i think that everyone should know that, but then again, no one reads this anyways. however, if someone was to read this, i'll tell you where you should be, you should be where no one's around because really, if they see you reading this, they will just laugh... at you.
so, people walk around school with their cell phones glued to their heads, and if they aren't glued there, the people have the phone in their hand and are crying: "i need a phone call" i seriously don't get it! even if it is raining, like today, and they should be crying "i need a raincoat" they still whine about the phone call. you know, when i think about it, if they yelled something as stupid as: "i need a big love" i would be happier than if they bellow: "i need a phone call." alas...
so, when people say these stupid things it is like they have been trained to recite them, and then if they do get a phone call, the conversations are not even interesting enough to listen to while these people are passing me by. and i really don't think that they have anything to say. instead, they have nothing to say but they say it anyways. maybe this is what the person who talked about the uni as a circus was referring too. i guess, the people who actually pay $30 000 a year to come here, (not me) and complain about this should be told: "you get what you pay for, you pay $30 000 a year in tuition, you should expect to be around people who have been raised on mtv and cell phones. but for me personally, i just had no intention of living this way. for one, you will not hear me whining: "i need a phone call" or squealing: "i need a plane ride" or, "i need a sunburn" or even, "i need a raincoat."
so, places called 'answers' are just a bad idea. they really are just the place that i go to and i don't get no answers. i really think that they are just out to trick people. similarly, when places that i give money to have 'exact change only' sign are just out to get me. i give them money and i just don't get no change. alas, what to do, what to do.
so, it's still raining in syracuse, and i just wish my baby was here, it would be fine. but i should mention that everything else is ok if it just stays the same. there's just some things that i know she'd help me remember and other things that i know she'd cause me to forget. i don't think that i have said: "i miss you" enough times, but i guess that i should. three thousand five hundred miles is actually further than she is away, but it feels that far sometimes. but what can i do other than say that i miss you. so what would you change if you could? anything?
well, you are still not going to hear me whining: "i need a phone call," but it would be nice. maybe i should buy a new car and then i could drive home... well that is a long ways (even if it is not 3500 miles). i might be able to take a train, i can always hear a freight train. you think i could pass as 'freight' baby? if i listen real hard i think that i can hear you laughing at that. and, another thing, i wish it was a small world so that i could take 2 steps and end up at your door. because i'm lonely for you, not for the the big towns. i'd like to hear you play a little guitar, maybe even 'old apartment'.
i guess it's just about time to finish this e-mail, but in order to keep with proper rhyming fashion, i need to once again return to the beginning of the e-mail by puting some of the phrases from the top of this e-mail down here at the bottom.
no whining, but i need a phone call, i need you here, and if we were to go outside I'd need a raincoat.
