London Calling

ahaha, yes, that's all too familiar. it's kinda like going out to protest against globalization, brewing beer with anarchists on the rooftops and all that, only to retreat to your warm safe apartment to surf internet for hours. perhaps buy something online after grabbing a cup of coffee at the starbucks, which pays miserable wages to the coffee growers.... not that that ever happened to me.

Didn't the Clash have a song about "being lost in the supermarket"?

i'm all lost in the supermarket
can no longer shop happily....

hooray! all is right and well...

Yeah, sadly, and this is true, I was listening to Bad Brains on my headphones while waiting in line at Starbucks this morning. It's not my fault, there are no other decent coffee places around here.

I was listenting to the song FVK, Fearless Vampire Killers.

"The bourgeoisie had better watch out for me/All throughout this so called nation/we don't want your filthy money/we don't need your innocent bloodshed."

And I was wearing a tie.

But now I'm done teaching. I'm in my jeans and Chuck Taylors. I'm hardcore. I mean it.

Okay I'm a loser.

No way you're a loser, Gargamel. We all must make our compromises now and then...

While driving my Hummer dressed in my natty threads, I often think of the poor oppressed peoples of the world whose souls are crushed under the jackboot of the oppressive regimes that force them to work endless hours in horrid filth and misery in order to produce my ever-precious consumer goods.

Then I just put some Captain and Tenille on the CD and it all goes away.

I take the bus and walk....nyah nyah...
