I ♥ L&O

Lately I've been thinking a lot about some of the kids that live in this awful city. Too many people are living the "DIY lifestyle" including living in a shitty house in a shitty locale, wearing homemade shirts, thrift store finds and basically whatever they find floating around in trash cans, garbage bags, car trunks and bike bags, not washing their hair- or entire body for that matter, listening indie music that no one knows about (Cartoon On Purpose, anyone?) or playing crazy glam rock because, well, everyone's a comedian. People like this are different from me and therefore annoying, but you know what, they're doing their own thing and I suppose that's at worst original (?) and at best enteraining. The only problem I see with these dirty street kids (besides walking close too them and having to breathe the trash/beer odor they omit) is that they aren't street kids. Let me claritify: they aren't street kids because every homemade shirt, every thift store purchase (or more appropriately thift-store-looking purchase), every "shithole" home was paid for by weathly moms, dads, or grandparents. That's right, these kids are Fakes. They're that one rich kid in your high school that made OK grades, never had a part-time job, got the brand new car, and didn't care what they dressed like. They wore nice brand name clothes, but not because they wanted to, in fact, they had no idea that shirt was expensive, it's just where their family shops. I'm not saying their millionaires; they didn't have a $100,000 car or even a $50,000 car. They had the new Honda, or big truck, maybe a trendy 2001 SUV. Whatever it was it wasn't busted. There's nothing wrong with a few of those high schoolers, but it seems a lot of them decided to move here. They also decided to leave behind that mainstream monotony and adopt a purer, simplier,....dirtier, DIY lifestyle. They have big, spacious houses that they treat like shit. There's no furiture, it's a mess- beer bottles, surfboard wax, bongs, you know the usual.

These types are harmless. They're just fucking obnoxious because I really do pay for everything myself yet still manage to look nice and shower daily- no, no, tri-daily. Really the biggest problem is walking by them. GAG.
