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 4600. I don’t know about you, but with it being the day before I work a full route at the post office, 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 4600th entry!  You don’t believe me, do you?  Well, go back and read the 4600th 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 thirty-first 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 “4500th” to “4600th” and “thirtieth” to “thirty-first” 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 4600th 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 4600?  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 4500.  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 4700!  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 4601st 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 4501st 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 “Dream a 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 just starting to dream!”

I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk.  “I would like to go to floor 4700 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 4601 – Dream a Dream

What do you get when you have two muses that are unable to distinguish their own dreams from reality?  You get two of the most dangerous Muses in the universe.  While everything that they do may feel like dreaming to them, everything is really happening in real life.  Everyone.  We are in their dream, so there’s no escape to the chaos that can ensue.  Don’t believe me?  Read this one and experience the unbridled chaos of living in the dream of two Muses that are endlessly dreaming.  Our entire universe are part of their dream.  You have been warned.

Floor  4630 – TobyMac Concert…

In this one, I share my excitement of going to see TobyMac in concert.  If you have ever seen him before, then you know that you’re in for a good show.  So grab your ticket and read this one.  It’s a real crowd pleaser.

Floor 4636 – Wednesday Wait

Just how bad can it be when two twin Muses are stuck in a permanent dream state?  To clue you in, this one details how things can go from bad to worse.  When you have two Muses outgrowing our universe, we all know that’s the beginning of something bad about to happen.  Read this one while you still can.  Before they they get any bigger…

Floor 4638 – Friday at Last

Seriously.  How worse can things get storywise?  In this one, my Muses have an argument when my Muse is now holding the entire universe in her hands.  Everything darkens as my Twin Muse pleads for her to “put it down”.  This in whole is why it’s a bad idea for two Muses to have their imaginations go out of control.  Dreams belong in our minds.  When they actually affect reality itself, it can get very dangerous.  That is a real universe that she’s holding.Worse of all, both Muses don’t even realize that they are both awake while they’re still dreaming.  And that’s not the worst part. Twin Muse becomes her dark counterpart Dark Muse and chaos ensues when she begins to outgrow all existence.  Read this one quickly.  The universe is at stake!

Floor 4639 – A Strange New World

What’s worst than a Dark Muse?  A Dark Muse that’s perpetually dreaming.  And worst of all, our universe is part of her dream, and she just made a new one.  In this tragic entry, I deal with a strange new universe where reality itself begins to change from moment to moment.  Something like this should never happen again.  When you have dreaming Muses, this is the disastrous result.  Blades of grass turning into Dark Muse clones?  I’m done.  Read this one and hope against hope that something can stop this threat to our existence as we try to deal with being a part of our Muse’s dream.

Floor 4644 – Doctor’s Appointment

When you have to cope with a reality that is lost forever, you tend to imagine things yourself.  Things like Doctor’s Appointments that used to exist in the reality that we once had.  But the plot continues.  In this one, I hope for a future where I’m not trapped in a universe that I describe as a coloring book made by a five-year-old.  When you’re part of someone else’s dream, things get strange and surreal until they become weirdly normal.  At least they feel that way after you get used to it.  Read this one and hope for the world that we all used to have.  A world that was not part of a dreaming Muse.

Floor 4650 – Me & My MuseGPT – Day 1: Now with Artificial Intelligence!

What do you get when you decide to let an AI take the wheel on April Fools’ Day? Pure chaotic brilliance, that’s what. In this one, I finally “hand over” the blog to MuseGPT — my creativity fully digitized and upgraded with artificial intelligence. Expect freshly curated content promises, sock-swapping pranks, decaf coffee terrorism, and the classic reveal that it was all an elaborate April Fools’ joke (because of course Me & My Muse isn’t going anywhere).
This one perfectly blends my love for the series with a fun meta twist on technology, creativity, and the fear (or hope?) that one day an AI really could write these posts. It’s playful, self-aware, and full of that signature Muse energy — just with extra processing power. Read it for the laughs, the fake-out, and the reminder that no matter how advanced things get, the heart of Me & My Muse will always stay wonderfully human… with a side of tee hee hee hee hee.
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys when the series pokes fun at itself while staying true to its roots.

Floor 4652 – Welcome New Galaxy!

In this one, I geek out about my excitement regarding the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.  This was the movie that I was looking forward to, and even my twin Muses get in character!  So if you haven’t already, get your ticket and read this one.  Having not seen the movie when I wrote this, I promise there won’t be any spoilers!  So read this and get ready for the blockbuster movie of the year.

Floor 4653 – Plenty of Saturday GoodNES: Easter Edition

The GoodNES continues!  In this one, I share my fun experience with my friend for Easter weekend.  A movie and Easter dinner?  What more can you ask for?  Read this one and grab a plate.  There’s plenty of Saturday GoodNES to go around!

Floor 4656 – Tuesday Pause

In this one, reality hits when I realize that I’m still stuck in my Muse’s dream.  Would that mean that everything else that I experienced before I woke up was also a dream?  Perhaps.  I dreamt of the universe as it was before it was remade by my Muse.  So where is the hero?  Read this one and hope with me.  I hope that the hero comes soon…

Floor 4657 – A Second Pause

Not much here.  Just a brief story related post showing off how worse things are going in a universe created by a dreaming Dark Muse.  Read this one fast.  A Dark Muse meteor shower is about to happen…

Floor 4659 – Galaxy Encore

What’s better than seeing the Super Mario Galaxy Movie again?  Another dreamer that can hopefully fix the mess!  A mysterious hippie shows up out of nowhere and begins his righteous takeover.  Far out!  How about a sub sandwich, and a totally back to normal universe with a gigantic 30 screen AMC Gigaplex to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie on?  But then begins the ultimate struggle over who rules the new universe: Dave the Dreamer or my Muse.  Who wins?  I’m on the edge of my seat here, man!  Read this one.  It’s totally far out!

Floor 4660 – End to the Nightmare

You better buckle up your seatbelts for this one!  In this wonderful finale, Dave the Dreamer does his thing and begins a wonderful fight that will hopefully put things back to normal.  With an easygoing dreaming hippie, how do you think that things will end?  Will we have a happy ending?  Let’s hope so man!  Just read the entry already!  It’s really good and stuff!

Floor 4680 – The Final Draw

In this one, Dave the Dreamer keeps my Muses in check so that their reality-affecting dreams don’t go out of control.  So take it easy, man!  Read this one!  There’s not going to be a part two!  Kay?

Floor 4690 – 4694 – MonNESday – The Return/TuesNESday/WedNESday/ ThursNESday/FriNESday Farewell

In this one, my friend visits for the whole week.  As a result, there are nights full of fun before his return to his friends to work on a project during the day.  All the NESdays are back, because everyday is a good NESday.  Plenty of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and plenty of games to be played.  Get yourself ready and read this one.  Enjoy the NESday fun pack.

Wow! It looks like I had more favorites than what I thought. I included way more than last time! Maybe I should’ve removed a few from the list. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 4700th 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 4700 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-seventh milestone post to an abrupt end (really, it’s his thirty-sixth 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 4700th 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 4600th story, 4500th story, 4400th story, 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 4600th story, 4500th story, 4400th story, 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 pajamas 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 4700 (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 4600th floor, 4500th floor, 4400th floor, 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 58 degrees and the silver lining is having this 4700th 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 4600, 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…
