An Unparalleled Narcissist

We're at a club, this could be anywhere.

Someone cue control of the space-time continuum.

Now pause, let me paint this picture for you.

I'm standing at about the height of your average NBA center.

My hair is that perfect length between messy, and well groomed and it's just a touch darker than sandy-blonde.

Sitting perfectly upon my wrist is a Jaeger-LeCoultre. A watch that cost more than your sugar daddies car.

Every girl here is eying me like I'm a chocolate-cake, and they just started their period.

I'm feeling amped from the coke, and the testosterone in my system.

Hard-bodies from every corner of this dwelling, slink their way over, to the tune of Drake singing "Just hold on we're going home."

I don't want a high-horse. I want a skyscraper-podium. I want to stand as a titan, looking down at all the insects.

I want girls to beg. I want boys to bow. I want to be worshiped.

The turritopsis nutricula, "immortal jellyfish," is thought to virtually be able to live forever. It can revert aging through a process called transdifferentiation, changing itself cellularly to keep from dying of age.

God's greatest gift, laid waste to a beast, that will never amount to more than a gelatinous blob.

Preservation of body doesn't necessitate legacy though.

What's carved in stone is little more than a stick drawing lines in the sand.

In fifty years, Facebook will just be a collective obituary.

We are simply, a complex arrangement of organized stardust, that is empowered to perceive universal creation, our very own existence, and are inevitable return to said stardust.

We're a micro-fraction of the universe experiencing itself, and still I want so much more than that.

"What a rebel" LOL

anyways, this is an excellent piece :p

[RileyRedding]

You're a laugh riot.

[Cool Girl]

I love laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

[RileyRedding]

Clearly you thread spamming, dork!

[Cool Girl]

I am a dork.... XD
I love talking too!

[The Black Warrior]

hahaha I'll take that as a compliment Riley LOL :p

Aww... Thanks so much! :)

[The Black Warrior]

No problem LOL :D

[Cool Girl]

haha. I'm going to save Riley from this misery of having me comment on everything... Au Revoir!

At the last line, you say "we're a micro-fraction of the universe experiencing itself, and still I want so much more than that. To continue, What are all the things you want so much more I wonder?

I love what you predict about the Facebook Social Media app, people have gone so crazy over it, it is a wonder what it will be when we are old and gray, if we are not already,

I had never heard that about the Jellyfish; it reminds me of the way my skin seems to rejuvenate, depending on diet, on a weekly basis, then I have to exfoliate,

[RileyRedding]

"At the last line, you say "we're a micro-fraction of the universe experiencing itself, and still I want so much more than that. To continue, What are all the things you want so much more I wonder?"

Within your questions lies my point. He's such an absurd narcissist that even though he can fathom the intricacies of universal existence he wants more than that for himself.

[Afraa]

Firstly, let me say I am astounded that I wasn't the first to review... oh well life is unfair, and always will be. Now that I got that out of the way...

Dearest Riley, your work is completely surreal. Never have I ever came across anyone who writes in your style. Why do you think I subscribed to you? Yeah... it's rare I subscribe to people on here. Haha!

My favorite line (which cracked me up):

"Every girl here is eyeing me like I'm a chocolate-cake, and they just started their period."

I can so see you being funnier than Chris Tucker!

[Cool Girl]

OMGOSH!!!! I totally agree, Afraa!

[RileyRedding]

Don't agree.
I get calling me Chris Tucker is comparing me to a comedy great, but I can't stand him.
Can I be the next, illegitimate love child of Kurt Vonnegut, and Daniel Tosh?
Beggars can't be choosers I suppose!

[Cool Girl]

Hahahaha xD

[Afraa]

Well then! >.>

[Cool Girl]

Afraa!!!! I missed you!!!

[Afraa]

Aless!!! That was honey to my ears! I missed you too. :)

[RileyRedding]

Go love one another, off my page, this being a free country and all.

Back to my illegitimate-love-child-rant.

Is it bad that I couldn't name a faux-mother that I actually want, so instead opted for two men?

[Afraa]

Jealous Riley? ;)

[RileyRedding]

Maybe a bit ;)

Only at the lack of attention. (Scout's honor)

[Afraa]

Cutie you are! :P

[Cool Girl]

XD yeah, I can't call Riley a cutie because it's be weird since I'm younger then him lol

[brezybaby3]

It's good. I liked the theme. You would want to aim it at a more sophisticated reader not your average Joe. Most of them wouldn't understand the big words and would have to turn to google every few words. But there are some good lines. and some good thoughts and I'd like to see you flesh it out more. be more descriptive.

[RileyRedding]

I try my best to provide outlandish facts so extreme, and enticing, that even if you find they go over your head, you still feel compelled to do a bit of research.

I want to make sophisticated, "the average reader."

Maybe that's grandiose, self-aggrandized posturing on my part.

Thanks so much for the review, and unique perspective,

[Vanesa Markovic]

...and yet that very beast, the one that will never amount to anything more than a gelatinous blob, will outlive the vertically gifted, fancy watch wearing titan. If I believed in a god, I'd guess he wasn't too fond of the human race, haha.

Good write up, I'm guessing narcissists are a great topic of interest for you?

[RileyRedding]

I'm fascinated by all things abnormal, and divergent.

[Matching Socks]

:) that's why I crave chocolate cake!
Yes, I googled the immortal jellyfish.

"God's greatest gift, laid waste to a beast, that will never amount to more than a gelatinous blob."
That's a brilliant line in the context of the story because you could be talking about either the fish or the man.

"What's carved in stone is little more than a stick drawing lines in the sand."
Powerful line, puts the big picture in perspective.

This was a great story Riley, really left me feeling like such a small part of this big picture thinking, reminding me how little I really know, and have experienced.

And that tall guys with nice watches are not worth my time.

[RileyRedding]

Thank you so much!
Short guys represent.
5'9" in the house!

[Matching Socks]

That's not short is it?
I thought that was average.

[RileyRedding]

It is average, but I sure feel short.
All of my previous girlfriends have been my height, or taller. :)

[Cool Girl]

Eh. Im gonna b around 5 4" when I grow up. Shorties rule!

[Matching Socks]

Wow, that is very short cool girl. But your personality is big. :)

[Cool Girl]

xD Thank you:)

[RileyRedding]

You're like 13, you have no idea how tall you'll be lol.

My ex was normal height until age 15, and ended up 6' by her senior year. (Anecdotally: Her parents were nothing of a spectacle in the height department either.)

[RileyRedding]

An edit has occurred: 304
:P

[Matching Socks]

What does that mean?

[RileyRedding]

Oh it's because I'm so unoriginal that even my comments are copy pasted. (This sites on to me.)
