Scooter Man is alive!

Friday, October 24th 2008. 11:30 PM

My faith in the Scooter Man restored.

Today is progressing poorly.

Its barely noon and already today I have split my lip, come short on cash for food, found out my CD's are warped so they spin funny in my CD player, and flattened a praying mantis with my car. Hopefully these negative events are just a prelude to something awesome that will make it all better, like say winning the lottery.

Edit: The day only got worse. But I don't really want to talk about it.

Phase 1: Collect underpants

lol wut. My macbook came in today. Its pretty much amazing. I am afraid that it might replace my PC.

Wait...is that a bad thing? XP

Let me wipe that egg off my face, please.

So the plan was to begin tracking the times that the Scooter Man drove past my home, in an attempt to figure out some sort of schedule for his nightly routine. The only problem is that I haven't heard the familiar groan of his engine since that post. I hope he's only taking a week off; it would be very embarrassing if I never heard him again.

(10:27:37 PM) misgivenmerit: since when does wearing a tie-dyed bandana allow you to decide what is just and fair!?
(10:27:43 PM) misgivenmerit: man... the people here..
(10:27:47 PM) CorneliusThePig: lol
(10:27:55 PM) misgivenmerit: but seriously though
(10:28:26 PM) misgivenmerit: this bitch with a tie-dyed bandana was saying certain laws on campus are a bunch of bullshit
(10:28:38 PM) misgivenmerit: eg riding skateboards on the roads
(10:28:57 PM) misgivenmerit: after we had like 5 people die last year from skateboard related accidents ON CAMPUS!
(10:29:18 PM) misgivenmerit: she was also saying how there's too many cops
(10:29:25 PM) misgivenmerit: well... it makes senses there's more cops
(10:29:28 PM) misgivenmerit: there's more students now
(10:29:41 PM) misgivenmerit: I mean... isn't that what police departments do?
(10:29:55 PM) misgivenmerit: employ more officers when a certain amount of people move in?
(10:30:38 PM) misgivenmerit: really, I think she just wants to sound cool and rebellious with her tie-dye bandana, sun glasses, liberal art classes, car, iPod, rich parents, etc
(10:30:55 PM) misgivenmerit: I mean, then the bitch goes about buying a bunch of expensive shit downtown
(10:30:59 PM) misgivenmerit: WTF man?!
(10:31:04 PM) misgivenmerit: I'll show you a real rebel!
(10:31:18 PM) misgivenmerit: *loads shotgun... and wears a tie... THAT'S RED!*
(10:32:27 PM) misgivenmerit: but seriously
(10:33:11 PM) misgivenmerit: you would think "politically" involved (At least they say they are) people would know more about the situation
(10:33:17 PM) misgivenmerit: also, the people the cops stop
(10:33:19 PM) misgivenmerit: I noticed
(10:33:24 PM) misgivenmerit: they are always crying and whining
(10:33:42 PM) misgivenmerit: like this one guy this morning, he was jumping up and down and crying
(10:33:56 PM) misgivenmerit: 'cause he's getting ticketed for riding his skateboard
(10:34:06 PM) misgivenmerit: (during rush hour, I should add)
(10:34:31 PM) misgivenmerit: personally, I was happy he was pulled aside, traffic started moving smoothly again
(10:34:45 PM) misgivenmerit: and really, the ticket is only $40
(10:34:58 PM) misgivenmerit: that's nothing compared to "real" tickets
(10:35:23 PM) misgivenmerit: especially, after... FIVE PEOPLE DIED ON THE SAME FUCKING HILL HE WAS STAKING ON!
(10:35:49 PM) misgivenmerit: seriously, I don't like how college is so open to those that can pay for it
(10:36:13 PM) misgivenmerit: I think it should be open to those who can use it/actually conduct themselves in a university
(10:36:54 PM) misgivenmerit: maybe I'm old fashion, but a university isn't for status, experiences, or fun, its for expression and growth of thought and ideals
(10:37:06 PM) misgivenmerit: see, I support the hippies of the old, they did this in the UCs
(10:37:25 PM) misgivenmerit: they opened up social justices, human rights, and other fields of study
(10:37:46 PM) misgivenmerit: now these "hippies", they have no cause or point
(10:37:58 PM) misgivenmerit: and yes... I should post this on the blog!
(10:38:00 PM) misgivenmerit: GOOD NIGHT!

Wait! Please take me with you!

There is a man who lives around the city somewhere. He rides a scooter.

Almost every night, after midnight, this man drives down my street and passes my house on his way to his destination.

I do not know where he comes from.

I do not know where he is going.

But I am going to find out.

This begins the chronicle of The Scooter Man.
