Well, if I'm going to get downvoted for a Gilmore Girls clip, might as well go ahead and post Rory ...and "Tucker."
I greatly enjoy the image I have in my head of Billy (yes, that's how I pronounce his username, deal with it) watching a marathon of Gilmore Girls while eating ice cream from the carton.
I cannot emphasize how much I don't want to work today. As boring as Iowa will be this June I really need the break. It's probably not a good idea that I'm still drinking.
That's also how I pronounce it. I never understood why guys weren't supposed to be into Gilmore Girls. They're both hot and the writing is pretty entertaining. It's like watching E and Drama go back and forth, but I don't feel gay checking out their butts.
Leaving Florida is almost always a good thing, even if you're going to Iowa Btw anyone who prefers unfiltered beer is a fucking moron in my book. I had 4 beers the other day and woke up with sizable hangover. There's several dam good reasons people filter beer, and don't tell me all that extra garbage in the beer adds flavor because it clearly doesn't add anything good.
Well, to be honest Iowa is even worse, but yes leaving Florida will be great. I can't wait to move to NY. Hopefully it won't be more than a couple months. You know, I never really appreciated how many racist people there are in this country until I moved down here. In Minnesota you can live your whole life there and meet only a handful of racist people. Maybe it's because the state is all white and people don't know what they're avoiding. I kid. Boobies!
Well I get home from the Social Distortion/Toadies concert today, and find out that the air-conditioner isn't working at my house. It's currently 89 degrees in here. It's gonna be a long, sweaty night, and not in a good way. Anyway, the show was awesome. Toadies rocked ass (as usual), and played a couple of songs that are going to be on their upcoming album (sounds like good stuff). Social Distortion was good, but everyone agreed that Mike Ness was just phoning it in for this show. You cant win 'em all. Highlights include: -I wasn't the one driving, so I got to drink and take some Vicodins. -Lots of girls taking their shirts off. Like this one: Spoiler -I got to try out a Harley on a chassi-dyno. -My friends and I stayed for free at a swanky hotel with this couple we met at the show. As the night progressed and they got drunker, the husband wanted to fuck his wife (not bad looking) in front of us (me, my friend and her fiance, and this other guy they met). Sadly, the wife declined. Sadder still is I think that they were only a couple of beers away from asking all of us to join in (had he gone through with his original plan.) -Interesting note: I didn't see a single black person at the concert.
Not to stoke the fire but I agree. I grew up in Michigan went to school in Colorado then moved to Florida, it wasn't until I got to Florida that I encountered a palatable popular racism between every group. Maybe it's a southern thing, but the racism is much more overt for sure, and for anyone reading this it's not just white guys in pick up trucks with confederate flags, it's more pervasive and I'm 100% sure that other groups are just as opinionated as the red necks in the truck.
Sad, but true. It doesn't seem to matter what social class you're talking about. I've met plenty of wealthy well educated people down here that are still just as racist. My favorite argument I've heard so far is one about how black people have a contaminated gene pool and sickle cell anemia is proof of this. Clearly, he knows his biology real well. I'm currently collecting porn of black guys degrading white women in the worst ways possible for that person. Should be interesting.
In other non-racist news my friend and I are throwing around ideas for what kind of car we are going to build for a lemons 24 race. Basically you're allowed to spend only $500 on a car and then you enter it in a 24 hour race with 4 drivers. However, if you buy a car you can sell parts from it and subtract it from the purchase. Right now we are planning to do the land master from Starfox. It's going to be fucking glorious.
I had the opposite reaction growing up in Alabama and moving to New York. If you said something racist the environment really had a feel of "dude, shut the fuck up, we already had a war about this, and we don't need you starting more shit." Of course, this is young people in a relatively liberal part of the state, so it's definitely not the norm. When I moved to New York, I was struck by how much racist shit people said without being looked at funny, and the degree of self-segregation. You get self-segregation in the South too, but come on, in New York you really have to work at it.
