Reply #125: asleep [View All]

[NuttyFluffers]

folks woke at the ass crack of dawn per usual, i just crawled into bed mere hours before. they flipped on the tv after hearing the morning news. mom ran in and yelled to me the news, which while i'm asleep really means very little because i sleep like the dead. later they were getting ready and watching tv at the same time, the 2nd plane hit, mom freaked out, dad was stunned and was trying to find reasons, mom ran into room to tell me again. i was asleep and mumbled something, because at that moment i cannot possibly care. when i sleep, i sleep. the world could end in a fiery holocaust (which i think is overdue, btw) and i simply just would not care, let alone bother to get out of bed. i slept through dorm false fire alarms, slept through earthquakes, concerts, etc. etc. etc. so this was really no different for me. oh it was sad, and i felt sympathy, but when i'm asleep it really is the very worst time to bother me. mornings are meant for torpor, and even immediate death is but a mere nuisance in comparison.

eventually woke up around 6pm, sauntered downstairs, noted complete media fixation on the story, realized my muddied dream was really reality, watched for an hour, retired back to my room to play video games and get ready for school the next day. i was already suspicious by the notable coverage and the very pat synchronous failure of security measures. i assumed my nation already had a part in it. i knew we were going to go to war, just by sheer virtue of bush being president, this just confirmed it. i realized by the next day and the hysteria of flying flags everywhere that i needed to hasten my plans to get out of this country before it became fully fascist and escape was impossible. we just had our reichstag(sp?) fire. video games and music was a good distraction after that oversaturation of that day (well, it was only an hour or so for me, 'cause i just walked away after that). actually, and this is rather ironic, sept 11 was the best sleep i had in quite a while at that time. it was a delicious 12+ hour comatose. it really hit the spot after quite a bit of partying that week. gosh, i really miss the nightclubs from back then. the music kicked ass and the vibe was still a touch of afterglow from the clinton years. now most of those happy clubs are gone, the vibe is usually shit, and the cover is too fucking much. being vindicated of my political prognostication isn't always a good thing...
