Scooters and Pine Trees



So, I meant to do this a long time ago. I got a metropolitan scooter. The picture isn’t actually my scooter. It’s of a scooter that is just like mine. I found the scooter that I did buy on Craig’s List. I bought it for $900 dollars from a guy about my age. He was really skinny and said that he used it to go to the arts Denver art school and back. In his living room was a fake Christmas tree that was missing its decorations. It’s strange how that happens to some people. They begin something, and then months latter; it’s still there. I wonder when he will notice it again. Maybe when it gets really hot in his living room. Will he then look up and think, man its hot in here, why is there a fake pine tree in my living room? Just after he put the ornaments box back into the closet, the tree must have fallen off into oblivion. The way small tiles appear to disappear when you unblinkingly stair at a tiled floor for a really long time. All the tiles bend together, making one big empty field. After fully comprehending this Cristmass tree in his liveingroom in april, I started to worry, maybe I have a fake pine tree in my liveing room too.

So, in spite of his inability to finish things, he sold me the scooter. The scooter is really great. I peeled the fantasy stickers off that the previous owner put on it and it looks as good as new. It only takes a gallon of gas at a time. That gallon usually lasts me almost two weeks. When I ride it I feel like I’m on a really fast bicycle that I don’t have to exert myself on at all. It’s like going down hill all the time, which happens to be my favorite part of riding a bike. The only downfall is the noise. While bikes are almost completely silent, the scooter is not.

Anyway, that’s my new scooter. I recommend it to anyone.

Yep. it's my job. I could probably figure out a way to make the computer do it automatically. But then, I would have no involvement what's so ever. I would just stare at the screen, as it pulled up a window, then to the print dialog box, and in a split second enter in the number 2 and then wait for printer bar would come up, and then again, and then again. I suppose that might be alright. It reminds me of the book the player piano. That kind of creeps me out. It might be kind of interesting even, to figure out how to write the little program that will print out two copies of every file in a folder. But thats just it. It would be a half hour of interesting followed by... what exactly. Watching the computer do it itself? I guess that would give me time to get up and do some filling or some other remedial task that the computer can't do for me yet. That would be more efficent. Now I'm reminded of the movie BIG with Tom Hanks in it. The part when he gets his job doing data entry. He sits down and starts typing as fast as he can, and the guy next to him tells him to pace himself, that he will get everyone fired if he goes too fast. Yep, don't want to work myself out of a job right? oh screw it, I guess I'll just figure out the program. It might make me look good right?
