Prologue:
I've called this Sex Drugs and Cocoapuffs in lure of my third favorite book ever, written by Chuck Klosterman. And in some ways I feel these cluster of words will find more meaning in my adventures into the real world. But prior to everything I write, I'm going to try and quote from this wonderful book, because it is full of interesting and useless shit, that we could all use more of in our daily lives. Such as this...
'I don't know how I feel about MTV's The Real World,' he said. 'I mean is it really real? How real is it really? Is it a depiction of reality, or is it a reflection of what we perceive to be reality? They advertise this as reality programming, but isn't anything programmed inherently fabricated? How real is real, you know?'
She said nothing. She continued smoking a menthol cigarette.
Twenty seconds passed.
'Well, what do you think?' he finally asked.
'About what,' she asked, exhaling through her teeth.
'About The Real World,' he repeated. 'Do you think it's real?'
'Compared to what?'
'Well... to... I guess compared to things that are completely real.'
Twenty more seconds passed.
'Is the show taped or edited in the Fourth Dimension?' she asked.
'No'
'Are the characters robots?'
'No.'
'Can the episodic plotlines only be percieved by people who have ingested mind-expanding hallucinogens, such as lysergic acid diethylamide, mescaline, phencyclidine, ketamine, or psychedelic mushrooms?'
'No.'
'Well then,' she concluded, 'it sounds real to me.' (25)
It's all real. And it's really happening. We're in college now! Well, sorta. Me not till Monday, K on Tuesday and jesus christ A and J in like a month. But nonetheless, we're going to meet some new crazy potentially amazing people, we're gonna party too much, drink too much, smoke too much and laugh our whole way through these next years. Yes, I know, this was a pointless post. Nothing in my life has changed since I graduated... but it will on Monday!
