• tam tamina yedi sene boyunca kafama bir silah gibi dayanan soz obegi...her duydugumda tuylerim diken diken olur, zamaninda hapishane olarak varsaydigim okulla ilgili her turlu kotu detay aklima gelirdi...simdi peki, simdi isler degisti...okulumun adini ne zaman duysam, aman biri laf mi atiyor yoksa diye savunma konumuna gecmeye baslamam, ne zaman alt ya da ust donem bir mezunla tanissam yuzumde gulucuklerin olusmasi herhalde bu duygunun yeteri kadar icime sindiginin kanitidir...fakat yanlis anlasilmaya, school spirit denen olay, mezunlar derneklerinde cirit atip o aktiviteden bu aktiviteye kosmaktan ibaret degildir, hatta bunlarin hicbirini yapmayadabilirsiniz. onemli olan o okulun size ve kisiliginize kattiklarini gorebilmeniz ve arasira dalip da acaba ben bu okulu bitirmeseydim nasil bir insan olurdum diye kendinize sormaniz yeterlidir....
• the college dropout'tan bir kanye west şarkısı. okulun ne kadar gereksiz ve iş hayatının ne kadar boktan olduğundan bahseder. şarkıdan hem önce, hem de sonra birer skit bulunur ve bu skit'ler şarkıyı daha da anlamlandırır. evet kanye'den gelsin; okulunu bitiremeyenler ve bitirip de adam gibi bir iş bulamayanlar için!
  
  skit 1:
  now beat that: and your mothers sayin "go to college", so u finish college and it's wonderful. u feel so good. and after all the partying and crazing (and don't forget about that drug habit u picked up at school!) bein around your peers, hey now you'll get that 25 thou, job a year and you'll spend all your money on crack cocaine, but it'll be your money. no more borrowin money from mom for my high. so now you get ur degree tattooed on your back your so excited about it. if u continue to work at the gap, after several interviews, oh my god! you'll come in at an entry level position and when u do that, if u kiss enough ass, you'll move up to the next level which is being a secretary's secretary! and boy is that great, you get to take messages for the secretary who never went to college. she's actually the bosses niece, so now you're a part of the family. you know what college does for you? it makes you really smart man! all you kids want to talk in the back of the class not me, i listened, ok, i was a hall monitor, this was meant to be, you know how many classes i took, extra classes extra classes. no i've never had sex but you know what, my degree keeps me satisfied! when a lady walks to me says "hey u know what's sexy?" i say "no, i don't know what it is, but i bet i can add up all the change in your purse really fast".

  bunun soundtrack'inde gleaming spires'ın "dedication" diye bir şarkısı vardı (thin lizzy cover'ı değil) oradan geldi aklıma, dedim hemen gidip sözlüğe yazmalıyım. açık kalp ameliyatındaydım, dönüyorum tekrar.
