Now playing : Bruce Springsteen - The Rising
Playing back then : The Wrens - 13 Months In 6 Minutes
...You open your eyes. Radio is blasting complete sh-t at volume far away from the words "tolerable at 7 in the morning". You get up from the bed and you search for the goddamn remote control. There it is. The radio is goin' DOWN!
OK, now it's silent. You wonder if it was better with the music on. Never mind, the new day is not going to look any better either way. Why? Well because for starters, you're a complete fu-king loser. And face it - it ain't no newsflash or nothing. You know and everyone around you knows it. C'mon, step lively, you act like you're on sundial - you need to be on stopwatch, 40 minutes left till school [work].
Ah, but we forget - you're feeling a little sports-like this morning, aincha? Push-ups time!
...25 seconds pass...
You're out of breath, you're feeling manly, you're feeling strong and tired. Yeah baby! 12 push-ups.
Alright, let's go to the bathroom, maybe the biceps have become bigger through the night. Let's see... Uh, what biceps?
Breakfast. Right. It's 20 minutes to 8.00. Ah, what the hell, just an orange juice, then.
No sh-t?! Orange juice, wonder what might have given you that idea. When was the last time you had any in the fridge? It's not like you belong to the working class or nothing. Now get the fu-k out, you cheap bastard, you're gonna be late.
You take your MP3 player, which is barely holding together, you apply styling gel or whatever it's called to your hair... STOP! It's 3 minutes to 8.00. Nah, man, the gel's really important, you gotta look cool. Really? It's gonna take you five minutes, that's what it's gonna do, and in the end, all you're gonna say is:
Goddamn. I look like shit. I wish I had a better looking face. My hair's fucked up. No chicks are gonna look at me and whisper, wow, that one's hot!
So it's 8.05, you're standing in front of the class [company's floor] door, you're trying to shut the MP3 off,
you're out of breath,
you hate the situation,
you hate yourself,
you don't wanna go in there,
you fu-king prick. And that's not even the start. Tough luck.
You open the door.
