Smashing Pumpkins ='s smashing alarm clocks

After my Smashing Pumpkins post that reminded me of an important lesson learned freshman year of college. This is one lesson that had nothing to do with the hundreds of dollars wasted on textbooks. You see up until that point in my life I'd always just used either the buzz sound of the alarm clock, or maybe the radio like Sonny and Cher a la Groundhog Day (a classic by the way). Well, that all change once KVB and I became roommates. You see he lent me what I thought was something I'd been missing all my life, an alarm clock that could wake you with cassette tapes and not this. Turns out waking up sucks even when you are waking up to this instead (lent on cassette with the alarm). In fact you even begin to hate something you used to really enjoy. Anyway, the morale of this story... stick to the buzz sound because it's better to hate that than to be conditioned to hate the good things (another victim of freshman year).

Are you kidding man?!? I love waking up to a good song, then I have a good song in my head all day. I guess it goes with not minding waking up in the morning. Last semester all I could get with my clock/radio was a station that played the national anthem every morning. What a patriotic alarm.

I would have to say that I would prefer that my alarm did not sound at all. ONLY 4 weeks left baby!!!!
