		The Fielder Show

So it's a Thursday afternoon during one of our first weeks in Valdosta and Brent, Anna, and I had discovered this town really sucks when no one's drunk. So we're all chilling in my dorm room, fighting with my computer because, once again, the fabulous wireless internet that was at Valdosta first, even before Georgia Tech, thank you very much, isn't working. There's some virus initiated by some student accounts that shut down the system. Perfect. Next, my TV stops working, the cable completely went out. Well, I did fix it originally, but I left the room for a minute, only a minute, and Brent, your typical male, decides he can make it better while I'm gone. I walk back in to see our Jolly White Giant shouting my name and pointing at the fuzzy television. Useless. Now we have no internet, no television, and to top it all off, there was a fire at the Loop, so we have to go a day without bad meal plan pizza. Out of this boredom came probably one of the funniest coverstaions ever. Brent posed this question to me and Anna, "Do you ever wonder if we are being watched? Like "The Truman Show" only the whole world is in on it but you." Not only was this the most random idea ever, but to 3 bored college students, it actually began to make sense! We saw where the cameras would be, what products we were currently advertising (Dasani water and Aflac Insurance), and then we realized that everything that happens to us, good, bad, random, whatever, is because of "The Fielder Show" (named for Brent, since it was his idea...) There was a hall social going on that night to watch the VMAs and eat free pizza....suddenly it all made so much sense! The Langdale RAs were part of the show. They stuck that virus into student's computers (including Brent's), they broke the cable everywhere but the lobby, and they started the fire at the Loop! All so that VSU students had no choice but to come get food and a small dose of entertainment for the night with them. Screw them! We wouldn't be played by the system, we could make our own fun in this God-forsaken place...we're going drinking! Now after this point none of us really remember the fine details, all we know is that at some point we were at Mellow Mushroom. (The same can be said for most nghts spent drinking in Valdosta, and that's why, sadly, most stories on this page happened when my friends and I had no substances influencing our behavior...Nyquil doesn't count.) If you really want to know what happened later that night, all tapes are kept in "The Fielder Show" archieves. Contact Big Brother Studios, P.O. Box Number...
