Wordgasm is a portmanteau of "words" and "orgasm", an outburst of words with the same euphoric effect of squirting your DNA. Nihil sub sole novum, the Ecclesiastes say; there is nothing new under the sun. It is only but words that grant the world a whole new spectrum of perception. And the point is? I have no idea.

Have to wake up at five in the morning, reheat yesternight's food, eat breakfast, pack lunch, whistle in the bathroom, and waste an hour on the road to get to school at seven. Now I'm regretting I signed up for summer classes. I have Jose Rizal (life and works) and English Literature from the sixteenth century and back. I'm on my fifth or sixth year in UP, I don't know, but definitely my eighth year in college which technically begins next school year. Seen Clash of the Titans on the big screen. Reaction: bleah. Seen The Time Traveler's Wife online. Reaction: bleah. Read Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Reaction: bleah. With random aha! moments. Plowing through Chuck Palahniuk's Non-Fiction. Reaction: stick to fiction, I say. Wading through Charles Dicken's five-hundred-nineteen-paged Great Expectations. Reaction: why read when I have the movie version? I am running out of stuff to read. Or movies to see. What happens if all man-made art in the universe suddenly disappear? Teleported to the imagined universe of heaven like one of those Left Behind humbuggery novels? And we humans are left to move on as savage mediocre beasts trapped to work, procreate, and just die? Badly need food for the BRAAAIIIINS which just fall into two categories: books or booze. I am completely indifferent to the classes I'm taking this summer. They fail to stimulate my cerebral tastebuds BUT. I have to take them. To graduate, like, earlier. Eight years is really short, mind. It's just a tapeworm compared to the anaconda called the human lifespan. What to do with the rest of the anaconda after graduation, I haven't the foggiest idea. Maybe I'll jump from one odd job to another, Bukowski-style. Or travel penniless and meet interesting humans along the way, Kerouak-style. Or just stay in a dark room behind a keyboard to write novels, Palahniuk-style. Or waste my entire life on the parallel universe of Facebook, idiot-style. I'm devoid of desire to do anything, know anything, think anything I might as well punch myself to sleep and reserve that thought in the morning. I need BEER. Ice-cold as ice-nine, in a bangenge mug with thick beer foam on top like whip cream. Speaking of cream, made homemade cookies-and-cream ice cream--how tautological--with the kids and failed. As far as I remember it's still sitting in the freezer, lonely and unwanted and unloved, crystallizing with hate and disgust and revenge against its creator, me.
