  2. Oh, I thought that we could pick any word. Now I find that we are given a word.
    Manual starts with my favorite 3 letters.

  3. harmony is a feeling, a sound, a pleasant escape and an acheivement.
    The more harmony, the better. It is a shame that I can’t carry a tune, but I can hold harmony in my heart.

  4. I wouldn’t trust this manual so much. It got printed like ten years ago. Technology is moving too fast for you to learn backdated stuff.

  5. The manual looked intimidating. How could learning how to use a microwave be so complicated? Julie didn’t want to look through it but she promised Cody that she’ll try to cook and she at the very least had to figure out what all the different buttons were for.

  6. I would much rather look at a manual and try new things as opposed to reading it first. I guess I just like to dive in and try. I am a very visual, hands on person. Why not,right? You can always do things over again if you need to. Manuals are for people who are hesitant.

  7. I reared my manual drive car. It crashed.
    Boohoo :(

  8. Manual cars are a lot more fun to drive.
    Manuals help you understand things; read them before you begin.
    Pleasing yourself manually is never as much as fun.
    Manually sounds like a combination of manly and annually.

  9. George never believed in manuals or instructions, no matter how frustrated he grew with whatever he was assembling he always refused to even look at the manual. He was like that with life , never asking for help or guidance, too proud to admit he needed it. Then it was too late.

  10. doing almost anything manually has become quite obsolete… “we have computers for that” you say… I agree… and I am thankful… but at the same time, it’s quite sad.

  11. if you want to know what it is all aabout you will have to go to the end of the line i AM THE FIRST IN LINE so there!!

  12. I do everything by hand. Every stitch, every knot, it’s all me. I never knew a sweater could be so much work. He’s worth it. I need him in my life. Every time my hands start to hurt I remember why I am doing this. That makes everything better.

  13. stick shift
    he tries to teach me to drive
    in parking lot at orange hunt
    but i can’t –
    can’t get the hang of it
    try to drive home from the park
    but i can’t make it
    car is rolling backwards and he has to
    jump out and run to the driver’s side
    to stop it
    and put it into park
    before i hit another car behind me.
    i was scared to death
    but somehow knew that he would save it
    and me

  14. Manual penguins, manual cars, manual breakfasts, manual dancing the night away; oh my, oh my, these are all things I’d like to see upon opening my eyes in the morning, each and everyday. I’d like a manual life.

  15. He never really reached the end of the tunnel before he found the gearshift. Dozing, drifting, he had entered the dark tube in a relaxed frame of mind, not realizing that his rental car — the only one available in the ST. Louis airport — was not an automatic.

    He could not find the knob — where was it?!

    These were the rapidly passing thoughts in his mind, just before he crashed and died.

    His spirit rose into the heavens — automatically.

  16. I had to follow a manual to build my new desk and i built it all exactly the opposite of what it should’ve been. So much for a manual.

  17. I found a manual inside my desk drawer one day. It was about making fences. I didn’t remember puting it there so I just put it back and pretended I had never seen it. I don’t know why I just told you that. I haven’t been feeling very well lately. You see, things keep appearing in my room.

  18. I squint my eyes in frustration. I DO NOT SPEAK JAPANESE. I never understood why they stick so many different symbols and confusingness on manuals like this, when they know that no one actually reads it.

  19. A manual is something that comes with a computer to help people understand what they are doing when they set there operating systems up and set programming up, it also tells the user what programing is on the computer and also what types of programs are compatable for the

  20. manual. a computer manual tells you what to do. actually any manual tells you what to do or rather how to do things. what if there was a manual to life. actually now that i said or wrote that it makes me realize there kind of is. theres that set “your supposed to do this” or “go in this direction” type thing

  21. my hands slide across the surface of your hard
    turquoise shell,
    four legged table,
    supporting my head as I rest from heartache
    and terrible teenage poetry

  22. Too bad there’s no manual to tell us how to understand life…how to understand people. People are the hardest things to understand, so full of confusing emotions, senseless words, constant contradictions. First, though, there should be a manual on understanding ourselves; how can we hope to understand others when we find our inner thoughts and feelings a mystery?

  23. pointless; i do not read manuals. they sit and accumulate dust, or i throw them out upon opening whatever they’re instructing me on… then i ask someone to be the manual for me.

  24. i think of rules. guidelines. things to follow. you must follow. help, but not entirely. only false, fake, … something unlike reality. follow me, follow me, follow me, rather than create, create create. suppression at its most elusive, deceptive state. helpful. helpful. but evil. certainly not entirely all good. but what IS all good? not a lot, in all honesty. honesty. is honesty all good?

  25. what the fuck? Manual i didn’t think I would write about that. huh
    manual is pretty cool I guess. I was hoping for something cooler. Like NOT manual. But HEY what are you going to do. Hm I need a manual sometimes for life. A little book maybe.
    Even a hand sized one I can take out of my pocket. To bad no such thing is real.

  26. not gonna lie, I don’t feel like writing on this word. it kinda of makes my head hurt and reminds me of all the manual labour that we did in school today.

    and the fact that it is an ugly word just makes it worse.

    and I want the day to be better. better, je pense qu’il y a beaucoup de chose que peut etre plus beau.

  27. The manual was written in Spanish. How was I supposed to follow the directions? I looked at the pictures, but they made no sense. Why can’t I get things in English anymore?

  28. Labor – not for me, I really like the brain-labor. I don’t know, perhaps because I grew up on the border, that manual labor popped into my mind. That’s it.

  29. Solutions manual!! That’s what all college kids need to survive. I wonder if anyone out there got all As w/o it. He must be super smart. Maybe MIT kids don’t use solutions manual. Sometimes I feel like cheating. But, how are we supposed to figure this out by ourselves?

  30. Balancing outward minds with integrity. Silencing geniuses; apparent insanity.

  31. I search for the answer within my manual. I get handle on the situation, and I relay the message to the others. I read again, only to find that the manuel is to the wrong machine.

    I hear the boom…and I break-down for my own mistake has ended tragically.

    Mr. Fetterman: I DID NOT KNOW MY FALLACY!

  32. i have one word to say and one word only. after that, we’ve lost the thread that, while thin, was our last sliver of light that bound us brothers together. after i utter my final breath, go forth and escape though we both know it will be futile. after my light fades, you must run before the darkness catches yours. so thus brother, i say to you: manual.

  33. The manual was dark. It was bleak. It was evil. The little boy knew this, and tried to save his family. He didn’t know how, he was completely clueless. So what did he do? That’s right. He opened the motherfucking manual. Everyone was pretty upset about that. But it’s all good. He became president.

  34. theres a manual in my back closet I think that it might be somewhat old but I’m not 100% sure. I really have no idera what else to write about when it comes to manuals i think that everyone should have a manual of some sort. game manual, magazine manual, remote manual, any manual will do really, but I just think manuals are a very valuable thing in todays society.

  35. Manual transmission? No one ever taught me to drive a stick. I was riding with a friend just a while ago and she was shifting. The poor car, I felt partly responsible: I kept distracting her from her shifting. She jarred the stick this way and that and the car stutter-stepped through the night.

  36. mechanical, doing with the own hands. By my self. With the hands.
    Something to read. A guide. Help. Instructions. Book.

  37. Manual cars are hard to drive. When we’re given something as simple to use as an automatic car, why do we still drive stick? The kind of people who say that they’re better to drive are stuck-up car snobs, just like the people who go to wine tastings are wine snobs. A car is a car and they drive the same, and wine is wine and it tastes the same.

  38. It’s not automatic. It just moves. It thumps. It feels natural. It resounds. Manual labor making art. Its purest form. Pluck a string; hit a key. Let it sit. No computers; no plugs. Just manual.

    Josh
  39. A manual typewriter. A manual transmission. Manual stimulation.

    I don’t know if I’m good with my hands, but I’d like to be. I’d like to use the tools that I was born with, and well.

  40. I never read manuals. Never. I guess that’s stubborn. But really, when I think about manuals, I think about engineers, or my mom, or something like that. I just don’t understand them. That’s stupid, I know. But there’s just something so terribly unappealing about manuals. Reading them anyway. I had a teacher in high school who talked about taking every writing class his college offered, and the worst by far, was the manual writing class. Manuals just leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
