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 4300. I don’t know about you, but with it being Friday and me wanting to walk a practice 5K and look for work, 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 4300th entry!  You don’t believe me, do you?  Well, go back and read the 4300th 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-eighth 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 4300?  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 4300.  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 4400!  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 4301st 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 4301st 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 “I Dream of Musie” 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 jeannies!”

I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk.  “I would like to go to floor 4400 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 4301 – I Dream of Musie

Are we watching an old sitcom?  Not quite.  In this one, I get not one, but two magical Jeannies that can grant me any wish that I want!  Yeah.  It’s JEANNIE, not genie since they’re female.  How much fun can it be to have twin Jeannies?  Rub the lamp, and read this one to find out.  Oh, and don’t forget to make a wish!

Floor  4308 – Making the Switch…..2

Have I succeeded in making a light switch?  Don’t be silly.  No.  What I am referring to in this one is my latest acquisition.  I pre-ordered a Nintendo Switch 2: Nintendo’s newest console.  Will you make the switch again?  Good luck finding one, but read this anyway.

Floor 4335 – Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time

What game have I been waiting for the longest?  The long awaited sequel to Fantasy Life.  In this one, I talk about the release of a totally awesome slow life RPG.  I mean, seriously.  You should all play it.  It’s on PS4, Ps5, Xbox, Switch, Switch 2, and Steam so you have no excuse!  So check this one out, and don’t forget to purchase one of the most epic games of the year.

Floor 4350 – Time to Switch…Again

Now this is history in the making.  Well, maybe.  In this wonderful entry, I finally acquire the Nintendo Switch 2, a video game console that is already taking the world by storm.  Read this one, enjoy the wonderful wittiness and…SWITCH!  Look for the twist.   Read it and consider buying your very own Nintendo Switch 2.

Floor 4358 – Friggatriskaideka…wha?

While this one has very little to do with superstition, the conflict reaches a head when Midnight Muse finds the lamp.  My Jeannie Muses don’t answer to me anymore so what happens?  Can things get any worse than this?  Read this one, and see how the story unfolds.  Oh.  And get ready for some bonus Easter eggs.

Floor 4359 – A Whole New World

This one continues from the previous entry.  With Dark Jeannie Muse changing everything, how do I navigate the “whole new world” to set everything back to normal?  Read this one and find out.  And sorry.  There’s no magic carpet montage this time.

Floor 4365-4366 – FriNESday Road Trip: 2025 Summer Edition/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 swim suits, flip flops and sunglasses, and read this one. It is a fun weekend adventure and it’s a hot one outside.

Floor 4378 – North for the Fourth

How often is it that I actually go up north for the Fourth of July? Not very often, actually. In this one, I go over my checklist and share my excitement for a fun-filled weekend. Read this one, and don’t forget to pack it. You don’t want to leave it behind…

Floor 4381 –  Summer Post 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 Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) 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 4384 – Twelve Years and Counting

Has it really been twelve years that I’ve been doing Me & My Muse? Yes it has, and if you haven’t read an anniversary post, this one’s for you. Here’s to twelve years of this wonderful experiment. Read this entry and celebrate.

Floor 4394 – Complete Freedom

Freedom?  In what way?  In this awesome finale, we get…Robin Williams?  It’s just an impersonation but you’ll have to read this one to see all the antics and how everything is resolved in the end.  Can the Dark Jeannie Muse be stopped?  Read this one and see how it ends.  And whatever you do, grab that lamp…

Wow! It looks like I had less favorites than what I thought. I included way less than last time! Maybe I should’ve added more to the list. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 4400th 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 4400 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-fourth milestone post to an abrupt end (really, it’s his thirty-third 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 4400th 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 4300th story, 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 4300th story, 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 the twin Muses.  Muse and Twin Muse.  Both of them were in their jeannie forms and fast asleep, with a note sitting between the two of them. It didn’t surprise me that they were sleeping, considering that creating this tower 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 4400 (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!)

Love (Lots and Lots and LOTS of Love),

Your Muse & Twin Muse ♥

I then looked next to the bed and noticed a directory which was much like the 4300th floor, 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 86 degrees and the silver lining is having this 4400th 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 4300, 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…
