The day goes by and people march around in the same brown suits from identical houses out of similar garages into the same cars to the same humdrum lives pushing paper and awating the lunch bell to go home and nothing changes

It's usual that the last word was WRINKLE and somehow my last entry went under the word USUAL. Strange if I say so, myself...

usual is a situation or a state of affairs or play that is seldomly changed. from time to time the situation will be somewhat different but in the general situation there wont be a change. usual is what makes people feel that life is ordinary and that there is a sense of bliss that is limited.

I usually feel good when I get up, about the same time around 6:30am, at which point I piss. That is my usual morning routine. Then I go back to sleep till about 7:30am or so. That is the usual in my day.

it was the usual time of day and I was wearing the usual cloths, shoes with the scuffs and I mindlessly walked out of the door, down the street and there at the usual time was the girl with the stupid cloth cap standing with her usual nonchalance at the usual bus stop.

There's no such thing as usual. Nothing is ever exactly the same as it once was. You may have an ordinary day at work but the events of the day are never usual. They are never exactly the same. The world usual does not apply in human life.

Today I woke up in the usual way, with a tiny hangover headache, and a general disdain for the sunshine. I realized that today would be just like yesterday, and there was no foreseeable reason to think that it would be any different tomorrow.

[dead-quixote]
The usual thing. A usual day, yeah, it should be "an," like "an historic occasion," but Jesus, who does that anymore? Okay, yeah, it's good to kep the old rules of English, but the language doth change, Orwell's cautions held in mind.

as usual she had nothing usefull to say. She was nagging, as usuall, bitching, as usuall, and making me feel like shit. i usually didnt feel this way before we met.

Then, you do the usual thing. You jump up with one hand in the air. You wave to the passers by as you slip your other hand down to your side, where you've got your ketchup bottle holstered on the side of your hip. You make every person you know squirm as you let out your little yelp of, "Cramer's One Ton Vapor Spray cured my asthma!" Then you shoot the ketchup in your mouth, like always, and pretend you're drowning. We are so damned tired of your public displays.

usual is a word which means nothing and everything. it can mean an average topical beverage named joe, or even a freddy vs. jason limited edition beanie. not to say that i'm not canadian, calling them beanies and not toques, but i really hate the french, so that is probably why my linguationally biased choice of words stands out amongst a decade of heroic actions performed by super heroes such as spider man and the green flash, but i think i made that last one up. gee, my forehead really itches, although that has nothing to do with the usual topic. usually i try to not die, and thus far i have been 100% successful, i believe. I may be completely wrong, however, and moreover, i do not care. usually cereal comes in boxes, but in some cases they come in the murderer variety. bob schneider is a name i pulled off the top of my head in correlation to the phrase usual, even though it is not a phrase, and instead is a single word. that is why i am angered greatly by the infidels of the third world countries, but i do not wish vengeance, for i am...

Usual is what alot of of would consider normal. Usual is not a very visual word to right on which is challanging my mind to work rapidly in order not to get bored. It is not often enough i treat myself by writikng my mind. The usual pattern i fall in is incionsistantly consistant. Not one of my favorite characteristics about myself but defenetlyt oine of my characteristics. Ive b been thinking of the simplicity of life and how I am not any better than a cocroch or a tree. We are all part of earth and life which exists on this planet. The planet is significant but the life which inhabits this place is just part of the earths system and net inparticularly significant in any way which is why humans are not perfect and people feal life is not fair and how could there child deserved to die but really the question is why not, what makes us so important? really does the universe or even on a smaller scale the earth even need us? it defenetly dosn'tneed all of us and death is one with life and should not have expectations as to the cards which are...

Just the usual, complacency and easy smiles and fast food into your blood streem. A little caffien to keep hidden the fact you were awake all night avoiding the nightmares, avoiding and hiding and caffien and a smile and the usual.

I pride myself on being unusual. "I am unique and that makes me rather dangerous." In fact if I feel that I am in danger of becoming predictable, I change. I don't want to be a part of the crowd. I remember when everyone wanted to be a nonconformist. So they all dressed in black, smoked brown cigarettes and stood around looking bored. What I wouldn;t have given then for some paisley or plaid

Today is not usual. I am sitting at home in Alkasa freezing as t is cold and Hong Kong is hot. I miss the heat but not the humidity. what is usual is finding time and space to just be. I enjoyed being with my family today. that is not usual/ Thank you god.

Every day is so commonplace. People are plagued by the usual. Usual clothes, usual shoes, usual schedule, usual talk. Nothing is ever spontaneous. Because usual is safe.

life's not always usual, unusual things happen, that's what adds mystery to life, doesn't it? if it's all always normal, usual, monotonous, where's the thrill? where's the joy? Where's the unpredictable excitement? Not usual is good!
June 8, 2006 10:21 AM
[Jerome Ryan]
There is nothing usual but without ususual there would be no unusual either. The two are only words we use to try to place things in neat little categories for classification purposes, but really devoid of any meaning. What's unusual to me is usual to you and them.

We're missing the un- the un- is the one that makes the world go around. With out the un- usual is just another word. And whats the point of that?

I walked to work this morning in the rain wearing water wings around my upper arms, a rainbow rubber bathing cap and diving flippers, ya know, the usual.

the usual suspects, what i usually call usual isnt so usual to alot of ppl, be ith the difference between perceptions or be it the want to have a different opinion, usual is a really subjective matter, then again subjectivity in itself is subjective

What's up today? The usual. The usual workday; the usual pareting chore; the usual commute. The usual. I'm bored! You?

usual is the word to describe a common thing, like what happens day by day. It is a little sad, and a little pretty. Everyday we do a lot of same things, and these things are those that are usual. We say something is as usual, we do something as usual, like with a girl, kiss as usual, hug as usual, walk as usual, nothing special and everyting just keep going on. Something being usual, you can probably predict it quite well. It's not about surprise, but it's just what happens everyday.

Usually I would just go to sleep thinking of killing myself over and over again and just hope I was better when i woke up but today I put on the gas mask and screamed for 15 minutes. I felt better.

usual means very common. eg. the usual bus timings ar from 9-5pm. thats all i can think of. it can also man normal.

Sometimes we just do the usual. Fall into bed when we can't keep our eyes open any longer, lie face to face, and, ahem, suck each others' thumbs (so to speak).

Unusual, strange things happening, your going around the twist. Ordinary people milling about their everyday business, work, school, nothing out of the ordinary.

Usual suspects, doing the usual crimes. I have the same old same old problems and they usually resolve themselves in the usual manner. The unusual is what I live for, the unexpected, the unsuspected.

I look at her, like I do every day. Blonde hair, blue eyes, but she isn't like the rest of them. She's the only blonde I've ever fallen for, and there's a reason. I know there's a reason I'm so close to falling in love with her. But as it goes, she'll never know, and I'll never tell. I'll just watch and hope she doesn't see me. Day in, day out. The usual routine, the usual loneliness, the usual.

Chris saw the mayor's eyes go wide as another one of his townsfolk was thrown on the bonfire in the town square. He snapped his fingers a couple times to get his attention. "Sir? Could we kinda get back to the invoice here? This was a fairly big clean-up job and we'd really like to get this bill squared away before we leave, so..." "They're all dead..." The mayor whispered. "Who them?" Chris pointed back to the bonfire. "Actually, they were dead when we got here. Zombies, you know. It's what we do. Don't worry. They were probably all voted for the other guy." "It...it's horrible." Chris looked over then shrugged. "I don't know. Business as usual to me. Now, about the bill..."

usually i don't write about such words, as they are part of our vernacular but don't, "usually" need description. I don't really care what you think of me as an artist or scientist, at all.

Usually I get up in the morning before 10:00. I do this becuase otherwise I feel like the day has been wasted. Sometimes I sleep past then though, and it really upsets me, because even if my head doesn't hurt (for some reason sleeping in late does), I'll still be tired!

The usual thing. I always do the usual thing. I wish that I could escape my little box and do the unusual thing. Humans are funny like that. They want to fit in, but don't understand that the unusual things are the things that make them magical.

anything but usual. it's like you sit and think about all the boring, usual things you've said and done in your life and you hit yourself because you can't even think of any of those. that's how it usually goes, anyway.

ot's every day's thing, get up get dressed, get coffee, sit in the same seat and read more of the same book and continue the usual pattern of my painstakingly dull life. Bland, oh so bland.

[Torey]
AS usual I am tired. Physically and mentally. I wish this wasn't so, but it is. Maybe I need to lose some weight, excercise more or do something that is going to give me back the energy I have lost. I can't think right now, this probably sucks. I am hungry. I feel sick. As usual.

Usual is a boring word, just everything about it. I'd much prefer to write about the unusual. The things, and ideas that are often cast aside. People cling to familiarity, to the usual. Fuck that, I want something unusual.

never before have I seen it. Never before has it seen me, yet my face is glued to it. I only know because I can feel it, and if I rip my face away, it will shear away what everyone else sees. It will expose who I am.

[Meag Savvy]
its unusuall to think that usual is usual cuz nothing is ever usual u make it usual u decide ur fate u decide what is usual nothing is ever usual but if can be unusual because things can be bazzare or out of the ordinary but then again nothing is ordinary its just w/e u make it....and u are the only one that can control that bcz u decide everything in ur life u decide wheater to turn right or left in ur every day life...and nothing is ever planed out but what if we were ment to make the decisions and then it all does come down to fate and things we are ment to do..but then i would just be contradicting myself....

as usual, i am absolutely, one hundred percent confused. you never talk to me, you don't know me at all, and yet you feel we can have a relationship. my stupid mouth shot itself off again, and now i'm kinda in a hard spot. this will never work. this will never work. it's just the summertime that had me spellbound, and i thought maybe... just maybe... this is goodbye.

Usual is the thing that I hate. I had the usual. The ordinary. The plain. The beige. Yet how often I find myself living in and accepting the usual in my life. It's not as though I have no power over this. I just seem to find myself in the usual more than I would like. A need to break free. A need to change. A need to be a little unusual.

as usual, i'm sitting tapping a the keys of my laptop, listening to the prisonairres do-wop around the bright,c risp tiled aprtment. hot outside. and wet hot; dripping humidity, tumidity. doo-wop doo-wop riff the prisonaires. a prison of a/c in south florida; a prison gleaming with blue stinging notes from the stereo. how can this be overlooked, or overheard? it's music to sweat to, on the inside, near the marrow in your spineheart. lonely and sweet sweat, like brown sugar meltingingin the double-boiler, turing by shades into a chocalte symphony.

It was hard these days to know what usual was. She had had her whole existence turned upside down by making one impulsive decision. She had died her hair blonde. It was reversible,she knew. She could at any time got to any drugstore and by a box of brunette hair, but she knew she wouldn't. She would stay a blond. Somehow, she had been altered. It was like suddenly waking up addicted - but it wasn't a drug, or food, or gambling addiction. It was a feeling that reminded her of barbie dolls. She was sure that she had not got this much attention since she was a baby. The sky was blueer. Her view was better. She wouldn't go back

"Oh...the usual." I never understood those people that had "the usual." Why would you want the same, ordinary meal everyday? Where's the spice? Where's the change? Why is consistency so great? I mean, I'm no daredevil, but I sure as shit never ask for "the usual." Sounds like too much of a risk.

She was like a cat. Or a dog. I forget. There was something unusual about her. What's unusual? Not usual. She didn't just guy, you notice the breasts, you consider turning around to check out the butt, evaluate that against the odds of her catching you. It was more, hey, what's that perfume? And then you feel someone brush by you light as a firefly, you see a skirt flitting through a crowd, rising on the breeze, and you think, god damn it, I'm alive right now. But what about all those other days when nothing unsual happens. Am I alive then?

As usual, I usually . . . man . . . I don't usually do that. I thought I did, but it's not my routine. You know? I do it every now and then, but nothing that I would consider "the norm" . . . huh. I thought I did that more often than I did, but I guess I don't. Weird.

"oh, the usual," he replied when the waitress asked him what he wanted. he really didn't care what he ate, he just wanted to see her prepare his food. her long, slender fingers gripping his cup of coffee, her calm smile as she hummed along to the music. she was so beautiful.

the usual thing that comes to mind is the typical and everyday life of the usual typical ignorant people in this world.

coffee and a cigarette some one with nail polish and short hair, they just looked too normal for words.

Her gentle feet made no sound making their way across the tacky carpeting to the front of the room. He had observed that it was usual for skinny people to make the most noise stomping around when walking. It was as if fatter people were aware of their weight creating heavy steps and in turn changed their stride to accommodate less audible walking habits.

Nothing is usual. My life is very usually unusual. I hate the usual and I hate the unusually usual. There are times I crave the usual and times I wish I could be anything but. What is the point of a word like usual? Nothing is really usual. By nature, people are unusual. Usual sucks. What am I doing this for?

THe routine is so overwhelming. Everday i see it, it is there with me when i open my eyes and stare at it. It is all around me. Underneath the bed, in the bathroom, but not in her pants. It is the lack of it that comforts me... usually.

The usual. The usual time, the usual place, the usual drink. What is there to say about usual? It's an irritating word. The usual. I hate the usual. Things have become a drudgery if you have a usual. Maybe not- there's some security in familiarity, but the word itself, it's so stale, so boring. Usually. A hah. I don't like the idea of usual, by itself, unless prettied up in a nice new sentence. Usually.

Its not what you do that's usual, but how you do it. You can brush your teeth in a hundred different ways with as many feelings and thoughts occuring to make that one pedestrian act unique. Usual is comfortablility, reliability: being able to walk into your favorite coffee shop and know the person behind the counter, to feel warmed by the posters and etchings on the walls and when you smell that particular blend -you are home. Usual is my favorite part of the day because there's no pretending, trying, fighting, ignoring or exciting things to make what's happening o.k. Usual is usual for one reason alone, its what makes us safe.

sometimes things just are so typical, so usual, so predictable. We don't always mind, sure, but predictible and boring can often times be synonymous. . . And THAT my friends is not good. Day in day out, 9-5, or study till you drop, or I know what I'm doing tomorrow!! The same thing i do every single day. and what would be a good diversion?? let's go see a movie on a friday night. like we do every friday night.

usually, you would think i would be working on my homework, or studying for my finals, but no, i'm now. I'm kinda a failure, or, at least i feel like one right now. I am sure that i failed one of my classes....yay

Just the usual day, June gloom as they say. BUT it was not an ordinary usual day. I usually get up early and go to work. But not today. Today was not usual in that I stayed home. Sure I worked a bit, I'm supposed to be working from home for two days per week. But as usual, I just had to get out of the house for a few minutes. So I went to the car wash, took my rented DVDs back to the video store, then treated myself to a great Pan-Pacific lunch at the Elephant Bar. Of course, I had my usual two glasses of wine as well. I usually drink red wine, but today I just felt like white wine. So I chose my usual brand of white wine, Kendall Jackson Savignon Blanc. Mmmm.... Not your usual day in a cuble. Sure beats working...well kinda. I'm just glad I have a usual job writing usual computer documentation and policies. Usually I am really glad to be employed, but as usual, my employer is cutting projects, benefits, and people to save money. The usual greed. Well, as usual, this is THE END.

Nothing is usual. I start the day thinking I'll do "this, that, and the other," but it's almost always the other that I work on -- and it's usually not the "other" I had in mind. But I think that's kind of a good thing. Life is unpredictable. Getting freaked when things don't go as planned is a pretty good guarantee of unhappiness. So nothing usual is the usual thing.

Everyday things creating routines that make for issues not needed in life. The opposite of unusual, which is what we should always stive to be. Don't think about it too much tho, because that would just be weird... Orange Red Ready Steady

I usually get the impression that no one is there and when i pick up the phone i think isn't this pathetic of me that i just pick up the phone to make sure that there is a dial tone am i that much of a loser that people wouldn't want to call me or talk to me that i have to check my phone for a dial tone this is truly pathetic

Every day is same, you never get to do anything new unless you choose to live your life, travel, think only of what you want your future to be. Nothing is more important than yourself.

It was a usual day in the house where she lived. Maryanne was at home, drinking her coffee when she realized that all she had to do was continue drinking her coffee. That is, drink it until it was gone. But before she knew what hit her, she realized all that she had left was a small portion of coffee grinds in the bottom of her grinder. Then what? What would she do? What ON EARTH WOULD MARYANN DO?

Usually we used to go out. Usually it used to be just you and me. It seems so unusual now. You're doing your thing. I'm doing mine. When did this happen? I know when it happened. When I decided that it wasn't you and me anymore, but rather, just me. I wish things could be usual again.

Usual is that which is, that which is always less than sometimes, What you plan on seeing, what you know is there but can be slightly altered, Usually I'm happy, but today I'm feeling crappy, This is usual

usual can be used in many different contexts, the first that comes to mind is un-usual, meaning out of the ordinary.

it's so unusual...etc., what is usual, the mundane ordinary tasks that we do each day. i think so, i have to go wash the dishes, yesterday's no less. who would have thought that was a goal in life? surely not me.

its unusual to eat cornflakes for your every meal and its unusual to sit wearing a white jersey all day long when you feel burning whitehot inside and you're sweating away like crazy and all you can think about is your goddamn ex-girlfriend who will never speak to you again this was fiction but now its a sad but true love story

nothing's usual anymore. everyone's worried about something, that something big is going to happen. i am sitting here, fingerpainting, and nothing is the same anymore. we used to read together, in a class of twenty. we learned. it was good. now you guys are worried about college and things. why? why can't we go back to old times?

As usual, they didn't get her order right. How damn hard could it be to leave off the onions from her burger? As usual, the onion sliver squicked between her teeth, giving her the same feeling one often gets when hearing nails on a chalkboard.
