The Cynic Criticizes Today's News
Oct. 4th, 2003 04:12 amARGH! I swear to god, am I living in a town of stupid people!? This is California, I have to remind myself, a good percentage of the people in San Francisco are POTHEADS!
Okay, 1: The people who are filing allegations against Schwarzenegger. Not only was it timed (screw what the NY Times has to say-- why release something about supposed groping charges that had been 'researched for weeks prior' right before the big election?!) but it's retarded. What do ANY actions -playful, welcomed, or NOT- have to do with the man running for governor now? No one bothers to comment on how porn king Larry Flynt is running for Governor also, and isn't he just as much of a guy in the spotlight (sort of...) as Arnold? Don't get me wrong, I'm not some Arnold-happy freak or anything, but it's idiocy. What I've done in my past should STAY in my past-- it has nothing to do with who I become 10, 20, 30 years from now, and whether I decide to run for President or whatever. Same applies to Arnold. Bad journalism is what it is, tasteless and poor. And I'm sorry, but those women that claim Arnold groped them? Eeew, they're not even that good looking... Besides, they gotta mess with Maria Shriver, and she RULEZ!
2: Every time I go into the Haight District, it smells like Weed. Yes, I hate it, but I love shopping there. One time I was passing by Amoeba records and there was a guy passed out near the outside corner of the store that had holes lining his arm and the back of his neck-- he was passed out and looked as dirty as could be. This was a real, honest to god druggie. All the supposed signs and symptoms you read about when you're in health ed, learning about what shooting heroine and the rest of those assorted bad drugs does to you... well, this guy was IT. And guess what? The people in the Haight District are afraid to put a damn public TOILET in their neighborhood at the corner of Masonic because they're afraid DRUGGIES will be shooting up outside there and RUNING THEIR PUBLIC IMAGE!? What do you think the damn Haight is KNOWN for, anyway? "Haigh-Ashbury"isn't a big name because of its pizza or its bagels! Yes, it might be known for its cool vintage shops and ecclectic stores, but mainly-- it's known for being the "freeee" part of the city, where everyone's getting high, everyone supports legal marijuana and other drugs, blah blah... what does THAT have to do with a toilet!? Businesses are stingy enough as it is, and besides, most places in the Haight either DON'T have a bathroom (or if they do, it's dirty as hell) or DON'T want to let customers/tourists/people who gotta pee really, really badly to use it! How retarded! Yeesh. It's a toilet. Let people use it.
Damnit, I've been having such weird cravings today. Safeway Black Cherry Soda, Yams, and now Donuts! ;_; I need some real food in this house here! *stares* What do you mean, Krispy Kreme isn't real food? Go suck an egg!
Ugh, AIM is being a bitch. Sorry to Anthony, Steph, Gina, and Sean-- who were talking to me and probably expecting a reply. AIM crapped out on me and won't let me back on. Steph, Xanga appears to be down-- I don't know what's wrong, but I hope you feel better soon. :D
I LOVE REVIEWERS! I'm going to try and find some semblance of a hearty meal here in my house, attempt to make a layout for my Yu-Gi-Oh site, and then go to sleep, because I have to work from 2-6 tomorrow! AUGH! ;_;
Ugh, up too late, waking up early for Yu-Gi-Oh and work... should do laundry, but probably won't have time... damnit, maybe if I save up for two months, I can buy a washer and dryer. But wait... where would I put it? AUGH! ;_;
