Once again, we have arrived at another milestone.   A mandatory and objective milestone that will unfortunately and undoubtedly beyond certainty include a totally different post from Day 2000 and a nearly identical post from Day 2600.  I don’t know about you, but with me continuing a new week with job searching, the LAST thing I want to do is spend the next 3-5 hours constructing a profoundly monumental and redundant display of my writing prowess.

I am sure that you are all aware of how things will transpire.  (What?  Do my eyes deceive me?  Am I actually narrating another milestone post for once?  Seriously, I thought that he was a in a coma and I was going to be left in a dark and lonely void forever.  That was not something that I was even prepared for or have even come to expect.  Excuse me.  Being left in that dark place for more than 3 years has left me kind of…sore.  One, two three, here we go!  Back on our feet again?  Wait!  Do I even remember how to narrate a post like this properly?  I will need some assistance here.  AI Narrator, assist me in the narration!  Refer to the 2600th post!  Another exciting redundancy as usual, but it’s still me from last time!  The very same me from the 2600th entry!  You don’t believe me, do you?  Well, go back and read the 2600th entry and then go and tell me who’s lying.  And while we’re on redundancies, how much longer is he going to recycle this piece of rubbish?  I’m all about saving the environment, but recycling this for the twenty-fourth time in a row?  My, what a milestone!  I do need to applaud for your originality…if you had any!  This is getting ridiculous!  There hasn’t been anything original since entry 100! peaking of which, entry 4000 is just 100 entries away!  Surely he’ll have something original for that, won’t he? Well, okay.  There was also entry 2000, which was amazing by the way. Oh well.  I need to acknowledge his busy life, as I am quite busy myself, re-narrating this over-narrated narration… For now, we will continue with this cheaply contrived recycled piece of milestone rubbish, rife with wit, dry humor, satire and sarcasm. Smashing!  I don’t think that I will change a thing! Although I did change “2500th” to “2600th” and “twenty-third” to “twenty-fourth”.  I also added my remarks about the writer’s extended absence but now we’re just nit-picking, aren’t we? And while we’re at it,  why don’t we recycle almost everything in this entire post?  Wait!  What I just included was new!  So much for sticking to my plan…*sigh*)  I will leave an introspective entry and then shift my point of view to first person. (Blah blah blah.  Redundant again!  REDUNDANCY WARNING! How many more times are you going to recycle this?  Wait!  I’ve said that already!  Well it’s a good thing that I have included that redundancy warning!  Otherwise, you would not have been forewarned of said redundancies. What?  Did you really think that I was going to forget about it?  I remembered!  Go me!  I rock!)  I would then provide a predictable reaction from my Muse’s intended absence.

In a sheer attempt at humor, I redundantly acknowledge the composition of this entry.  How I talk about this being another milestone, and that this is just a slightly cheap reconstruction of an entry made more than 100 days ago.  (Not quite. I made some subtle changes and included a note to the reader to reread the 2600th entry which would provide a basis of proof that I am the same narrator that narrated 100 days ago.)  How original!  You would have to be exhausted to pull off something like that! How I am aware of how things will transpire.  How I would leave an introspective…wait!  This is getting too redundant, and is on the brink of being extremely absurd and ridiculous.  Is it too late to start over?  (Genius!  Considering that you already typed the first two paragraphs, I would just delete them.  Just be sure to save my interjections.  They’re pure gold, I tell you!  Nevermind…You kept them…) With that, we will press on.

Blah blah blah…Long profound…wait!  This is redundant!  Wasn’t this mentioned in day 2600?  We know what happens next already.  The overdone exposition about the Muse and why she is not here, approaching the tower (Yes. This tower is different from the one that you saw in Day 2600.  It always is!  It’s different every 100 posts!) Let’s avoid the redundancy about being redundant, shall we?

But, breaking away from the overly astute sarcastic narrations that get more and more repetitive and redundant with the passing of each 100th post, I notice that this tower is… different.  Yes.  The tower is a little bit taller (About 100 stories taller, to be exact!  My are we smart!), but just to be sure.  We will have a look inside and see…

Time to recycle some text from my previous entry, with some subtle edits to make it resemble something slightly different, with the attempt of sounding original and new, since these milestone posts would be boring without that. (I’m all for originality!  Let’s be brave!  Let’s make something slightly different so that no one will ever notice!)

After standing there for a while, I finally entered through the door.  Sure enough, the same field was there.  (We should really change the scenery a little bit.  Maybe in a later one, perhaps?  But this is entry 3900!  Maybe we should change it soon…)  I was surrounded by the same lush greenery as before.  (The greenery was so green that Kyle was overjoyed with ecstasy from the overwhelming greenness.)  Clovers and wildflowers. Yellow, orange, and red leaves.  A sea of color. Nothing was different from what I experienced 100 days ago.  (Except for everything else in this entry that I changed so far.  My, am I on a roll today!)

The colorful luminescent sea led to a rather tall structure that sat far in the distance.  A tall structure that looked even taller than before.  Again, this was getting too predictable, having already experienced this before.  And quite redundant.  Every 100 entries, the tower’s a little bigger.  We get it.

The tower looked like a skyscraper that a time-traveler would live in.  White and pink accents emanated a powerful aura that ran up and down the gold-adorned structure.  The glass had a pink tint to it.  (Oh please!  The designer can only think of the ladies, can’t she?  Well, I never!)

“A luxurious and mysterious building,” I said to myself.  “Can’t my Muse be any more original?”

Let’s cut to the chase, and find out if this tower really is different.

I got attention of the same receptionist who sat there, typing 1300 days back.

“So, is this the same Tower of Muses as before?” I asked her, just to make sure.  (Oh, come on!  You ask her that every single time!  Shouldn’t you know the answer already?)

My Muse shook her head again and smiled.  “No, silly!  This tower is a little different.  And there’s a teleporter thingy that will take you to the 3820th floor!”

I nodded, with a slight grin on my face.  And this was mainly due to the deja vu.  “And this floor is still…”

“Floor 1,” she recited.  “ExperiMENTAL.  Tee hee…”

And of course Midnight Muse, which was then a bad idea, was just beginning to affect my Twin Muse at this time… (*sigh*) ”Thank you,” I told her, proceeding forward to the mysterious portal that sat past the white service desk just before the elevators.

Upon entering the portal, she was right. I entered a new room, which resembled a different lobby. But this lobby had no exit, since this was the 3820th floor Sky Lobby.

Approaching a pink colored service desk, I saw a different Muse sitting there, wearing a Santa hat.  But she wasn’t typing.  In fact, she looked up right after I got to this floor.  It was only a split second that I saw her typing…

“Welcome, Kyle.” she announced.  “You are on the “The True Meaning of Christmas…” floor.  This floor is one of my favorites, since it captures who I am, 80 days ago…”

I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk.  “I would like to go to floor 3900 now.”

At this, my Muse frowned.  “Why?  There are so many good floors!”

I advanced further to the elevators.  I then sighed, and quite deliberately broke the fourth wall.  The overly redundant redundancies have reached their limit for this post!  Would you really want me to actually pick 6 to 8 random floors and stop on them?  Sorry.  It’s not going to happen this time, either.  If you really wish to hear my discussion on the floors, you can visit any one of them by clicking on the links near the bottom of this post.  Okay.  If we don’t visit them, perhaps we should do this instead.  I will briefly recap some of my favorite floors, after I have taken a few minutes to determine what they are.

There.  After several minutes of reviewing all 80 entries, thinking and making a much needed edit over the older text,  I have my list.  It’s right here!  I have it on my lap.  Let’s see…I will put this in list form so that it will be easier for you to read.  My favorite floors are:

Floor 3831 – Health Insurance, Job Stuff, and…Cheesecake?

In this one, my parents surprise both me and my brother with a very special gift from their trip to Grand Rapids: some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.  The result?  A fun entry about getting a Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake!  Savor this one and read it carefully with plenty of water.  That cheesecake is RICH!

Floor  3833B – Twin Muse in Dark Mode

In this one, my Twin Muse gets an unwanted “makeover” from her evil twin: Midnight Muse.  What kind of makeover is it?  Could it have to do with makeup, best friends, and sleepovers?  And why is she a tween all of a sudden?  Check this one out, because you’re invited to the slumber party.  This one is GOAT.  Totes GOAT…

Floor 3835 – New Year’s Sushi

This entry has nothing to do with sushi, but everything to do with the wonderful new world that Twinight Muse created with her besties.  After her new makeover into Twinight Muse, why stop there?  She gives the entire universe a makeover creating a paradise of only 10-year-olds.  Pajamas?  Make up for girls?  Nintendo Switches for boys?  This is totes awesome!  But you can’t come to their totally epic sleepover.  Why?  Read this one, and be in awe of the totally wonderful new universe they created.  All hail our new tween leaders.  Twinight Muse, I’m a total stanner…

Floor 3839 – Smartest Phone

So did I finally send my Smart Phone off to college? Not quite. Instead, I bid my Samsung S10+ farewell.  My old phone bit the dust, so this upgrade was much needed. What phone did I buy? Open the app and start reading this post. I go into more detail about how my old phone called it quits, so you definitely want to check it out.

Floor 3840 – Friday Flurries

In this one, I question my new ruler Twinight Muse’s authority and get assigned the coziest prison cell in the universe.  Every dissident gets the premium treatment here. A cozy bed, a TV, video games, three meals, and a nice bathroom!  It’s so cozy that you never want to leave!  So why wait?  Read this one and get your own super cozy prison cell!  Who ever said that rebellion never paid off?  Twinight Muse is GOAT…

Floor 3841 – Snowy Saturday

What happens in this one?  While I was enjoying the cozy cell, I make a new friend named Melvin.  Now something is totally sus about him.  He never stops playing Minecraft and he somehow has secret access to privileges that have been hanned by Twinight Muse and her fam.  Who is this suspicious tween?  Read this one, but make sure the guards are not watching.  You could end up in a lot of trouble if they find out…

Floor 3842 – Awesome Entry Done Quick

Okay. In this particular one, I showcase my awesome speed strats for my Me & My Muse run. I call this one the “easy entry” strat. As a fun reference to the Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) charity stream, this run, er, entry is a fun and entertaining read. And time is called when I read the end of this description. And…TIME!

Floor 3868-3869 – FriNESday Road Trip/Plenty of Saturday GoodNES…

With the whole weekend off, and my brother having the same clearance, what do I do at a time like this? Go on a road trip to my friend’s house. In this one, I share my excitement of going up north to my friend’s place with my brother, and the fun adventure that we had up there. A fun weekend of watching TV shows, playing games, and eating out. There is plenty of Saturday GoodNES up in the East Bay side of Traverse City. So pack your bags, get your warm clothes, bundle up, and read this one. It is a fun weekend adventure and it’s warm and cozy inside.

Floor 3875 – Funny Friday

Why is this one so funny?  Well, if you have a redneck comedian like Jeff Foxworthy entertaining you, then you’re in for a belly-busting evening full of smiles and laughter.  Read this one, and try not to laugh!  Too late! Let’s face it. Mr. Foxworthy’s brand of comedy is irresistible…

Floor 3883 – An Avatar…

In this one, we get to see the wonderful world of U.  Are you not cutting it in reality?  Then check this wonderful world out.  This is the latest edition to Anime Movie week, so log in to U and read this entry.  Come, it’s time to change the world…

Floor 3888 – Happy Leap Day!

Leap Day only comes by once every four years. In this one, my Muse gets into the spirit, with plenty of leaps and bounds. Why is she younger? Is she taking Leap Day too literally? Leap forward, and read this one. And bonus points to you if you are a Leaper.

Floor 3894 – End to the Party…

In this one, Melvin has a few tricks up his sleeve and he finally shows me the Minecraft world that he always obsesses over.  This is the finale to the Midnight Muse Sleepover Saga, and it’s pretty riveting.  Twinight Muse does…WHAT?  Find out in this epic conclusion to the sleepover that was supposed to last forever.  You mean it wasn’t forever?  Find out and read this.  This is TOTES hundo!

 

Wow! It looks like I had a little less favorites than what I thought. I included way less than last time! Maybe I should’ve made the list longer. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 3900th floor…

My Muse, having heard the whole conversation, grinned.

“It’s amazing how much you know about those floors!” she told me.  “Especially since you haven’t even visited them…”

“Oh, I don’t need to…” I told her.  “I lived them!”

To that, she responded with a satisfied nod, and I proceeded to the elevators.  I then pressed the up button a few times.  Where are the elevators?  With this many, I would think that at least one would be ready for me! A few seconds later, I entered the first elevator door that opened.  It just happened to be the one next to me.

I entered the elevator and pressed the 3900 button.  Moments later, the doors closed.

Several moments passed.  At this point, Kyle decided to be a little more unoriginal and once again reused some material from the previous milestone entry.  Perhaps he’ll make it a little different so that they’ll never notice.  Just enough changes to throw off the audience.  How lazy of him!  Can’t he get his brain thinking of any more original ideas?  But Kyle would have none of that.  He is just as determined to bring this thirty-ninth milestone post to an abrupt end.  The good old recycled zinger.  They’ll never notice!  Unless the narrator reminds them…

Finally, moments later, the elevator arrived at the 3900th floor.

A little like the 2600th floor before it, this floor was an enormous room, lavishly decorated.  A desk sat in one corner and a king-sized bed sat in the other, which was one fourth the size of the bed that was in Entry 2000.  Pretty much the same room as the 2600th story, 2500th story, 2400th story, 2300th story, 2200th story, 2100th story, 1900th story, the 1800th story, the 1700th story, the 1600th story, the 1500th story, the 1400th story, the 1300th story, the 1200th story, the 1100th story, the 900th story, the 800th story, the 700th story, the 600th story, the 500th story, the 400th story, the 300th story, the 200th story, and the 100th story before it, only the room was the same size as the 2600th story, 2500th story, 2400th story, 2300th story, 2200th story, 2100th story, 1900th story, 1800th story, 1700th story, 1600th story, 1500th story, 1400th story, 1300th story, 1200th story, 1100th story, 900th story, 800th story, 700th story, 600th story, 500th story, 400th story, and 300th story and the bed was light blue.

Oh!  We agreed not to meddle with the following paragraph!  As much as we want to, we can’t.  It just wouldn’t be right…

And on the bed laid my Muse.  She was in her Twin Muse form and fast asleep, with a note attached to her. It didn’t surprise me that she was sleeping, considering that creating this tower probably took so much out of her.  Now I’m going to guess that the note will mention that the computer in this room will have this entry already typed.  That even includes the later parts that you haven’t seen yet!  Am I right?  And this further adds to the redundancies that exist in this post already!

Attached to her hand was a note.  And this is what it said:

To my master,

I made this tower for you and me.  This is to honor your hard work and dedication for another 80 days of hardship, bringing the total up to 3900.  Thank you for your renewed interest in doing this again and your dedication to keeping this project going daily.  If you look at your computer, the last entry is already written.  I am still forever grateful to your kindness, your dedication to saving me and your gratitude.

Love,

Your Twin Muse

I then looked next to the bed and noticed a directory which was much like the 2600th floor, 2500th floor, 2400th floor, 2300th floor, 2200th floor, 2100th floor, 2000th floor, 1900th floor, the 1800th floor, the 1700th floor, the 1600th floor, the 1500th floor, the 1400th floor, the 1300th floor, the 1200th floor, the 1100th floor, the 1000th floor, the 900th floor, the 800th floor, the 700th floor, the 600th floor, the 500th floor, the 400th floor, the 300th floor, the 200th floor, and the 100th floor before it. However, this was the directory for the Tower of Muses, only it covered only the next 100 floors. I looked at the directory.

The high today is going to be 69 degrees and the silver lining is having this 3900th post made.

To all of you who have ever completed a major milestone, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Just like entry 2600, she’s right! The entire entry is typed! And there’s that message at the end! Aw…How cute. I don’t understand how a narrator got into my post. Oh well…

Now I’ll…What’s going on? Just like before! It’s happening once again! On the bed! My Muse is flashing…
