What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?

Well, I did it. I went and bought an iPod. Luckily iTunes was introduced for Windows XP the next day. It is pretty cool. You can purchase individual songs for 0.99. Whole albums for 9.99. I purchased an Album called Avenue Q. It's kinda bubble gum pop/broadway fare I guess. But there is one song on there...What do you do with a B.A. in English/It sucks to be me. I want to post the part about B.A. in English, in homage to Jennifer and Leigh Ann.

What do you do with a B.A. in English?
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college and plenty of knowledge
Have earned me this useless degree.

I can't pay the bills yet, 'cause I have no skills yet
The world is a big, scary place.
But somehow I can't shake the feeling I might make
A difference to the human race.

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up

My friend Jennifer insisted that I post one part of our conversation. I don't know why, she seems to be the only one that comments on the page anyways. But here it is...

Do you know what I wanted to be when I was 10? I wanted to be a garbage man. Because I figured I only had to take trash out 2 x a week, ergo, garbage men only work 2 days a week! At this point, my friend burst out laughing. Hey, I was 10! I never claimed I had the best common sense :-) It is pretty comical, even my parents laughed when I told them that. At least I'm bringing the world a smile, yes?

Stinging Nostrils

I was talking to my friend Jennifer on the phone when I recounted the day's highlights. I was contentedly eating Bi Bim Bap (from Gina's BBQ) with medium hot sauce whilst watching Will and Grace Season 1 DVD collection. There was one part in an episode where Grace was talking to Will using the restraunts phone when she had another call. I knew it had to be something like a reservation call or something...but the way she answered it and what she said was so hilarious that I burst out laughing. Stupid me forgot about the Bi Bim Bap I was eating. So In the midst of my laughter I basically snorted rice and medium hot sauce up my nose. IT BURNED. IT BURNED. IT BURNED!!!! My eyes started tearing. I tried to blow it out; needless to say it burned even more coming out...these orange/red rice particles. It was kind of disgusting, and IT HURT! My friend Jennifer burst into gales of laughter when I told her over the phone. Yes it was amusing wasn't it?

Chalk it up to another one of Darrett's antics. That's all folks. Oh, by the way, the nostrils are fine now, and my sinus tract is clear.
