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 4000 and a nearly identical post from Day 4200. I don’t know about you, but with it being Wednesday and me having a 11 to 7 shift today at Little Caesars, 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. (Another exciting redundancy as usual, but it’s still me from last time! The very same me from the 4200th entry! You don’t believe me, do you? Well, go back and read the 4200th 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-seventh 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! Well, okay.
There was also entry 2000 and 4000, which were both 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 add a little extra content and change “4200th” to “4300th” and “twenty-sixth” to “twenty-seventh” 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 100 days ago. (Not quite. I made some subtle changes and included a note to the reader to reread the 4200th 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 4200? 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 4200. 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 4300! 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 an ornately decorated office building – for women. The pink and white accents ran up and down the gold-adorned structure. The diamond-studded glass had a pink tint to it. (Oh please! The designer can only think of the ladies, can’t she? Well, I never!)
“A pink office 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 100 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 4201st 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 the Dark Muse, which was then a bad idea, was just beginning to affect my 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 4201st floor.
Approaching a white colored service desk, I saw two different Muses sitting there. But neither of them were typing. In fact, they both looked up right after I got to this floor. It was only a split second that I saw them typing…
“Welcome, Kyle.” she announced. “You are on the “Teenage Dream” floor. This floor is one of my favorites, since it captures who I am, 99 days ago…”
The Twin Muse nodded. “I agree! It was fun as we were first teenagers!”
I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk. “I would like to go to floor 4300 now.”
At this, my Muse frowned. “Why? There are so many good floors!”
Twin Muse sighed. “I’ve read the past entries! He always does this! Fine! Go to the elevators and skip everything like you always do!”
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 99 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 4201 – Teenage Dream
In this one, the awkward teenage years are back! When you have twin Muses that are both hormone ridden teenagers, you have a start to very interesting series. Malls? Boys? Makeup? Teenage Muses can be quite exhausting. And no. This is not a dream.
Floor 4208 – Open Finale
What is opening? Surprisingly, this one just explores one of the many issues of having to deal with teenage Muses. Could it be them on their periods? Surprising not. One of the twins is still a bedwetter and I’m sure that you know where this is going. How do I handle the embarrassing exchange with this Muse? Read this one, and what you do, don’t embarrass her about her bedwetting problem. She’s already experiencing enough as a teenager, okay?
Floor 4210 – Extra Icing and a new Veedu
To be honest, I only chose this one because of the awesome birthday dinner that I had with my sister. How can you beat an epic Indian dinner at Veedu’s? You can’t. So read this one and enjoy the free meal, complete with naan bread!
Floor 4214 – President Donald Trump – The Second Term!
Like it or not, President Trump is back for a second term. If you’re put off by the title, just remember how others felt and how you felt four years ago. To be straightforward, I pretty much share my excitement for the president-elect being sworn in as president once again. If this doesn’t pique your interest, the protesters are over there. But if you are interested, it’s definitely worth reading. It’s the culmination of the second of one of the most historic elections in history. Let’s make America great again.
Floor 4227 – Satursunday Sweetness and Toastmasters 75th
Not only do I get a Sunday off, but the opportunity of a lifetime. In this one, I share the wonderful milestone that a local Toastmasters club has achieved. Saginaw Harvey Spualding has been a Toastmasters club for 75 years now, and hopefully they will be one for another 75. Here’s to celebrating a special milestone. Read this one, and enjoy all the delicious treats and snacks. There’s plenty to go around!
Floor 4232-4233 – FriNESday Road Trip/Plenty of Saturday GoodNES…
With the whole weekend off, and my brother having every one off having the right route classification, 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 4234 – Super Bowl Large – Part IX
Besides the awesome commercials, why did I choose this one? Because of the Super Bowl Licks (LIX). It’s fun to say and the snacks were good. So read this one, and help yourself to the appetizers! And enjoy the epic finale to the game. Place your bets now. I’m DEFINITELY betting on the Eagles…
Floor 4239 – Happy Hallmark Day…
Don’t have a date on Valentine’s Day? For me this year, that was no problem. Because in this one, I had twin Muses fighting over me. And before you think it’s some creepy teen Muse romance, it’s not. The story arc is paused, so I have two adult twin Muses fighting for my heart. Which one wins? Read this one and find out. And help yourself to the heart-shaped box of chocolates. I’m not going to eat them all.
Floor 4254 – A Princess…
In this one, we get to travel back to the Muromachi Period of 15th Century Japan, where a feral woman raised by wolves defends the forest from Irontown. This movie will make you fall in love with nature and hate every one of the enemies that try to meddle with it. So read this one, mount your wolf, and head into the forest with me. We need to meet the Deer god!
Floor 4262 – Springing Ahead
While this one has nothing to do with the time change, it has everything to do with the teenage Muses that I have been dealing with. After a mysterious set of twins invite them over to a sleepover, something strange starts to happen. What’s going on? Read this one, and don’t forget to pack your overnight case.
Floor 4265 – Another All Day-er
This is not about my all day shift, but about another issue with my Twin Muses. With them being teenagers, I experience the worst part of any of their issues: teenage rebellion. Just how bad does it get? Read this one, as we’ll be confronting them both later on.
Floor 4271 – Final Winter Toast
In this one, things get stranger with my twin Muses, as the teenage rebellion goes from bad to worse as it starts to affect her parents (Remedy and Nurture). How bad does it get? What am I saying? Read this one, as there isn’t anything bad going on at all. Everything is going to be fine…
Floor 4278 – Semi-Chill Day
The plot thickens as I set things right and remove the ones responsible for manipulating my Twin Muses. Both Muses are grounded and how do they handle it? The teenage rebellion is getting worse everyone, so read this one quickly and keep an eye on those twin Muses. We need to keep them out of trouble!
Floor 4279 – Work Day
Truancy has nothing on my Twin Muses, who somehow manage to escape school from an innocent request to use the bathroom. With them free, the search begins for them. Where can I find them and what are they up to? Read this one and find out. I don’t like where this is going…
Floors 4280-4281 – The Calm Before the Storm/No Storm Yet
In this one, the teenage rebellion takes the entire school by storm, as the entire school body ditches school to join my Twin Muses. Just what are they planning? Are they going to raid a mall? Have a delicious snack? Create some kind of world where they’re all in charge? There’s no telling but read these two quickly as things are really starting to look grim for the twin Muses…
Floors 4282-4283 – Smooth Day/Easy Like Sunday Morning
In this one, perfection is finally achieved. Yup. No more teenage rebellion. And best of all? The Adversary has finally advocated peace! This is a finale that you don’t want to miss so read this one and enjoy this wonderful ending. What? You mentioned a glitch in this room? I think you are seeing things. So read this one and enjoy a wonderful end to the Teen Muse saga.
Floor 4285 – Muse & My Kyle – Day 1: ExperiMENTAL
In this one, Kyle becomes a willing participant in the best reboot ever! Are you tired of Kyle’s daily entries? So am I. This fresh new approach lets you see me (Muse) and what I do on a daily basis. So read this one and help yourself to the latest feast of ideas. What is it, Kyle? The calendar? April 1st? What about it? Anyway, read this one and see the entirely new direction that this blog is going in.
Floor 4287 – The Cracks are Forming
I didn’t think that there was anything wrong is this world until someone pointed it out to me. In this one, a character (we’ll call him Morpheus) offers me the red pill and I take it, realizing just my world was only a utopian version of The Matrix. With that being the case, how will the rest of humanity be freed? And what are those Twin Muses up to? Read this one, but take the red pill before you do! If you don’t, ignorance is bliss.
Floor 4289 – Reality Sweet Reality
In this epic true finale, “Morpheus” hacks himself into everyone’s utopian Matrix and the feeding frenzy on red pills begin. But how do my Twin Muses react to that? If we make it through this, those two are going to get grounded. Read this finale and experience the real world.
Floor 4296-4298 – NESday Weekend Begins/Palm Sunday GoodNES/NESday Conclusion
This is the same deal as the roadtrip, only my friend comes down and visits me instead. And with my brother having the weekend off and me having to work, an alternate schedule is made to ensure we still have a fun-filled weekend. A fun weekend of watching TV shows, playing games, and eating takeout. There is plenty of Sunday GoodNES here at home. So get everything ready and read this one. It is a fun visit with lots of memorable experiences.
Floor 4299 – Teenage Rebel Yell
I thought that the teenage rebellion was gone, but it’s not about to go without a fight. In this one, both my Twin Muses are on their worst behavior where I experience an all out teenage meltdown that results in them getting grounded for life. Life? Yeah. It’s that bad. With the teenage rebellion this bad, will the Twin Muses be able to grow past adolescence to adulthood? I don’t know. So read this one, and brace yourself for the terror of teenage rebellion.
Wow! It looks like I had more favorites than what I thought. I included way more than last time! Maybe I should’ve added less to the list. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 4300th 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…”
Twin Muse nodded. “He doesn’t doesn’t visit the floors, twinnie. He lived them!”
“Oh, I don’t need to…” I told her. “I lived them!”
Twin Muse smirked back at her twin counterpart. “See? He’s always the same!”
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 4300 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 forty-third milestone post to an abrupt end (really, it’s his thirty-second considering his extended period of inactivity…). The good old recycled zinger. They’ll never notice! Unless the narrator reminds them…
Finally, moments later, the elevator arrived at the 4300th floor.
A little like the 4000th 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 4000. Pretty much the same room as the 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, the 2600th story, the 2500th story, the 2400th story, the 2300th story, the 2200th story, the 2100th story, the 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 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, 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 twin Muses. They were…how are they today? My Twin Muses are 19 years old today. They’re 4 foot 6 inches tall and they both weigh 70 pounds. The height and weight of a 10 year old. Were both of them able to overcome their teenage rebellion and was Twin Muse able to stop using Awesomenites? I surely hope that these problems were solved…
My heart sank when I saw what was at the foot of her bed. Right there sat an open sack of Awesomenites. I’m guessing that this was gotten into today, considering how one was used. Did she even try to use the toilet last night? Did she give up? I don’t want them to be stuck in adolescence forever! I really don’t…
Where is the note? It’s not attached to her this time. I’m guessing that they had to do something else, since Twin Muse has that problem. Oh. There it is! Next to the sack of Awesomenites, there was a note attached to the foot of the bed. It didn’t surprise me that they were sleeping, considering that creating this tower with the help of whoever helped them probably took so much out of them. 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 the foot of the bed was a note. And this is what it said:
To my master,
We made this tower for you and us (Wasn’t that sweet of us?). This is to honor your hard work and dedication for another 100 days of hardship, bringing the total up to 4300 (Wow! That’s a lot!). Thank you for your dedication to keeping this project going daily (I too, thank you from the bottom of my heart). If you look at your computer, the last entry is already written (She’s not lying! It’s all already written. Aren’t we nice?). I am still forever grateful to your kindness, your dedication to saving me and your gratitude (Thank you also for saving me! Your dedication restored the true timeline and now we’re both reunited as twin sisters!). (Don’t worry about the Awesomenite from this morning. It was used in the middle of the night but I took it off and changed into my panties afterwards. A couple more times I had to get up and use the bathroom. I had no accidents at all. I just really had to go.) Don’t forget, sis! Our anger is much more manageable now so no more teenage rebellion! (Oh yeah! That’s right! Thanks for reminding me, twinnie!)
We’re getting really tired, so our dad is going to finish this tower. Time for a nap!
Love (Lots and Lots and LOTS of Love),
Your Muse & Twin Muse ♥
Nice note. The note from both Twin Muses was very cute. That is very reassuring news. I hope that Twin Muse is right about her progress with her bedwetting. I don’t want them to be adolescents forever…
I then looked next to the bed and noticed a directory which was much like the 4200th floor, 4100th floor, 4000th floor, 3900th floor, 2600th floor, 2500th floor, 2400th floor, 2300th floor, 2200th floor, 2100th floor, 2000th floor, 1900th floor, 1800th floor, 1700th floor, 1600th floor, 1500th floor, 1400th floor, 1300th floor, 1200th floor, 1100th floor, 1000th floor, 900th floor, 800th floor, 700th floor, 600th floor, 500th floor, 400th floor, 300th floor, 200th floor, and 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 51 degrees and the silver lining is having this 4300th 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 4200, 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! The twin Muses are flashing…
