…Patton Oswald, hilarious Bastard.

Been working double time between Miami and Chicago and besides the weather warping I go through, it’s an odd change of gears too. Here in Miami, I’m more leaned on in my job to get shit done while in Chicago I have to just make sure things don’t go to shit. Plus i’m still learning the lay of the land. Luckily I got the GPS on my phone going and thats helped greatly.
Oh yeah and it stopped being TOTALLY fucking cold there. It’s still sorta shitty but nearly as bad as February.
In between then and now I took a trip to San Francisco with my gal,  who dug it, but understood all the underpinning things that make me kind of blech with SF. Mind you, Awesome, awesome, awesome town, but it has so many cliche’ bullshit hipster crap to it at times.
Then again what city isn’t like that?

I mean it just gets to me when the whole “coolness’ factor comes to play on simple things like interaction. Ok so I don’t wear a leather jacket anymore, or color my hair, but I still love punk rock and metal and study it. But if you don’t wear the “uniform of non-conformity” it seems you’re out of the loop and people are less friendly.
You go to Midwest, and not to sound like condescending douche, but I work with some real salt of the earth types folks, good people who work hard and don’t really rise a fuss. On the one hand, it’s sort of aggravating how out of the loop they are and how they seemed so duped by their enviroment and believe what their told. On the other, they greet you with open arms and I’ve seen they’re more open to differing opinions that at least with some graciousness and a chuckle will disagree with you.

I can’t say their is a single example of this that I can point to, but it is there. It’s something that really ticks me off, especially from folks that are so”liberal” they seemingly exclude you.
This is only a thin veil of bullshit in SF, really. And more with American Young than anybody as many of my Mexican, Russian, and Chinese friends there seem to not aggregate this, and my friends overall are very open and reasonable.
Lets just face it, I don’t get along with hippies i guess.

So yeah, this is what crossed my mind as I started this journal. Really I just wanted to say whats up, but here you go, my mind vomiting all over the place.
