Eulogy

Well today is just...Starting off fan-fucking-tastic.

Couldn't sleep well again last night. Fell asleep around 3am, but was awake again by 5:15. Then I slept again from 6am till around 8:15am. So it wasn't terrible at this point. I don't mind getting up early, it's just nice to feel fully rested after the night is over, and I am not feeling that.

So I go out and talk to my parents for a bit, and complain about the kittens. One shits behind the lamp, then Bitty shits on the floor 10 inches from the litter-box. But it's still just a normal day so far.

That's when I got the call.

One of my best friends died today.

My CD Player.

I had my two new cds in, Muse's "Absolution", and The Still's "Logic Will Break Your Heart. About halfway through the 3rd song on the Stills cd, all hell broke loose. Suddenly my cd player made this noise like it was turned up to max volume and someone was holding a microphone to grinding gears.

I leap out of my chair, and turn the volume down. Well that did nothing, the sound didn't stop, nor did it get any quieter. So I hit power and stand there in shock as to what the hell is happening to my baby. Both my folks come in to find out wtf that noise was and I turn it back on to see if it had stopped. It had not. The sound was still just as ear splitting and I hit power again.

I turned it on tuner and turned the power on.

"GRAAAARAAAAAHA AHANNGARARAARARARARAAAAAHNAHAGAAR"

click

I switched to tape and turned the power on.

"GRAAAHAAGANAHAGAANANAARAGAHAANAGARAAHAHN"

click

Auxiliary had the same outcome.

Well at this point it's like a doctor told me I had cancer but wouldn't tell me how bad.

Is it dead?
Is it just messing up right now?
Maybe the sound will stop.
Maybe its just a one time thing.
Maybe..just Maybe, it will fix itself.

I waited a little while and my Dad came in again and asked me if it was still doing it. I said I didn't know so he turned it on again.

Oh my god.

It's working, IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then it told me what the lyrics are to Apocalypse Please...

"Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread the urgency
And pull GRAAGAANANAGARAAGAHAANAHAGARAGAHANNHGRAGG"


Needless to say those Lyrics are COMPLETELY WRONG.

Now with no job, no money, I have to try and find a way to make due. My dad is going to help me, but I really doubt it's going to be 300 watt 60 disc changer.

I'll miss you my old friend.

May you.............May you be playing The Nixons in CD Heaven /cries and walks off
