My brothers and sisters, today I bring to you an awakening. For this wonderful spring break, I’ve spent my time quite far from our home. Armed with a BMX bike, some headphones, and enough booze to knock Mike Tyson on his ass, I’ve explored and enjoyed this week here at Penn State. As a sidenote, I am not a religous man by the mainstream definitions. I guess you could say I believe in one thing…. the socially inevitable chaos of anarchy and revolution. Now before you write me off for my political views, remember that this is a site about one school and not about America’s idiocracy. But back to the point of this entry.
As follow up from an exchange of comments from my first post (“Taking the Pulpit”), let me share with you what I’ve seen. First off, I’ve been privelaged to live in a real frat house during this week. 40 guys in a fuckin mansion and an annual account of $16,000 just for booze. This is absolute truth. Their dues include $400 a person just to cover your alcoholism for a whole year. 3 pledges deliver papers to your door every morning by 7 am, and they return at 6 pm to clean the house. Clean is only a relative term though. When I said mansion, it is purely a reference to the size of the house and by no means implies any level of cleanliness or elaborate living conditions. The smell of the bathrooms could be described as something like a 3rd day unflushed urinal or some stray dog who just escaped the pits of septic treatment plant, but I’m just gonna leave that one at that as I fear going any further could cause me to finally empty my stomach in this hungover state. The residents are all healthy alcoholics though and no one seems to mind the fact that you feel like you need another shower as soon as you step out. You just don’t take your shoes off unless you’re on carpet.
