A few years ago, I had an impromtu party at my house. It was a Tuesday night, I had a 10am class the next day. My roommates and I were drinking wine at home and decided to go to a local bar for a lounge/trip hop night. I probably had 1/2 a bottle of wine before even leaving the house. We get to the bar, throw back way too many cocktails, our one roommate goes home, and we decide to invite about 20 people back to our apartment, mostly bartenders and bouncers from bars we frequented.
Well, we get home, my one roommate is fast asleep and the people start rolling in. It's about 2am. Quickly we realized that we had only invited guys, so here we are in a happy meat market with these bouncers from all these clubs....Some of the guys started DJing, and I quickly forgot most of the evening as I was ridiculously wasted.
Well, I woke up at 5 or 6am, overhearing something about someone driving into a ditch in my driveway? (I don't know why he was driving in the first place...jeez) Apparently I had a big fight with my roommate who was sleeping when we got home, rightfully so as we shouldn't have brought all those people home on a friggin tuesday night. She had stormed out in the middle of the night and went to stay somewhere else. My other roommate was in her room having sex with her boyfriend's roommate???!!! I woke up again a little after the ditch incident, pushed myself up, looking over at the person in my bed. I was still fully clothed so nothing had happened, but I looked over, thought to myself 'who's that?' and went back to bed. I had to hint around to figure out who that was in my bed. scary.
The guy in my bed left while I was sleeping and not so surprisingly I missed most of my classes the next day. The whole apartment was trashed, our roommate was ridiculously pissed with us, one of our friends had lost $100 or something in the apartment, and there was a message typed on my computer in an open word document:
"A traveler passes by an open door. He chimes,"What shall become of my opus?" The answer lies not in the prejudicial format, but among the befuddled tree saplings. Such are things."
To this day I don't know who wrote that. Translations?

I think that it was the random dude 'sparks' that had a big ole lisp (i think his real name was eugene?) ...i dunno. since i didn't know sparks at all and he told me later that i had a great party....who were you again?
but, otherwise i don't know. considering i didn't know most everyone there, it could've been anyone. perhaps the same person that smeared hot mustard & duck sauce all over our floor. bastards.

I'll translate, but take it with a grain of salt.
"A traveler passes by an open door. He chimes,"What shall become of my opus?" The answer lies not in the prejudicial format, but among the befuddled tree saplings. Such are things."
"A traveler passes by an open door." - Either the author is writing that he wasn't invited to the party, or he is writing about what someone would see if they walked into the room uninvited and unknown.
"chimes / opus" - These words tell me that the opus is a musical work, that it is completed and the author of the work wonders what will happen with it.
"The answer lies not in the predjudicial format" - It seems to me that the preducicial format could mean the author of the opus doesn't have the answer because he is to close to the work to judge it accurately.
"but among the bufuddled tree saplings. Such are things." - Using the imagery of the party, the author may of been referring to the drunken bodies flapping about, because they hold the answer to what will become of his work, they are the audience.
"such are things." - life's a bitch. It sounds like the author has pride in his work, wants the world to hear it and hopes they will understand but he fears they are too young and messed up to notice.
Since you had DJ's there, perhaps one of them fancied himself a poet in addition to a 'musician' but fealt like you weren't listening to the music as much as you were getting drunk and driving into ditches.

Indian - I feel for you and other middle of nowhere college students. You would think that given the size of the UConn student body, there would be lots of bars, clubs, stuff to do in the vicinity. Nope. A few seedy bars but nothing much. How can you survive? I assume that you end up just drinking in people's rooms/apartments but that probably gets boring after a while. The drive to Hartford is a decent haul and not advisable while cocked.
I heard that Dartmouth has one of the highest illegal substance abuse rates of any university. You can't blame the kids. The only things to do are drugs and sex.

I have no translations and I can't stand people who write like that. Occasionally it is necessary to be symbolic when trying to communicate a complicated idea/emotion/whatever, but this person just hyped up some stupid statement to sound smart and confuse people. Do you know who wrote it, Sky?

Parties are fun but drink responsibly. I have seen a fair share of parties (being in a fraternity) and have seen many a hung over morning filled with calculus and physics... Just do so in moderation. Haha
I think I lost at least .75 on my gpa from classes that I did poorly due to the fact that they were at 10AM or earlier which I attended either hung over or still drunk from the previous night.

I'm a VERY bad influence. On separate occasions I've convinced everyone except me to take off all their clothes, named a lime and introduced it to people, got church girl who had never had anything to drink or smoke to do all in the course of 2 hours, steam rolled down a hill, convinced a friend it would be a good idea to strip in a club in Florida (thus the knowledge that those poles are oiled and turn easily), convinced at least 3-4 friends that drunk one night stands are a good way to lose your virginity (okay, i feel bad about that one), etc.
i turn into drunk monster girl. BUT, i did discover some truly fabulous drink concoctions. a "smirkey" ...a shamrock shake from McDonald's (only available in March) and some Wild Turkey. MMMMMM, it's like a peppermint smoothie with a little bite. For months other than March, get Wild Turkey, Green Creme de Menthe, and cream. It sounds nasty but it's oh so good.

I am not to sure what that means My interpretation is this (and probably completely worng)
The traveller is having "writers block" (he can't finish his opus)
It won't come to him from what he already knows and the conventional way he usually writes
But will develop and grow from new ideas and directions if he just waits long enough.
I beleive it is stating that change is good in order to improve and renew the old.

You know what you can learn from this. Get started drinking earlier that way you pass out at a decent hour.
