alarms


i live on a college campus. it is nice because a couple blocks away is the downtown area with all of the traffic and noise. but on campus at nite it is pretty quiet. almost dead quiet. they school takes away the electricity of all the students at like 11:00. no tv, no internet, shit no lights. the only people up past then are the foreigners and security guards. of course outside campus there is still crazy action going on. since i am on campus, the university or somebody, plays this music through loudspeakers that can be heard throughout. every weekday this music plays at 6:30 in the morning, then at noon, then at five pm. this shit is on the tick for about twenty minutes. i have learned to sleep through the morning wake up call. but i am usually in the apartment at noon. sure enough, here it comes, the same music i heard the day before, the day before, the day before. it is like 1984, okay everyone awake. everyone go to lunch. everyone go home. like we are a mass population of clones. i am suprised there is not a, everyone go to sleep jingle. by no means is this music entertaining, it is becoming quite annoying. i guess the phrase that readily comes to mind is, it feels so communist.
