So this morning there was supposed to be a huge anti-war rally in the Financial District. The goal was to "shut down" the Financial District, keeping us yuppies from going to work and wreaking havoc downtown. I got off of BART and there were four dudes with bandanas on their faces like old western bandidos carrying some kind of anarchy rules flag.
I think the people that organize and participate in these things don't quite realized that we yuppies get up at 5:30AM, about the time that they smoke their last joint of the night before going to bed. We get in to work around 8AM while they would normally be reaching that deep REM sleep, if they hadn't of drank all those 40'z before going to bed. By the time they wake up and start heading down to the Financial District we have already returned to our offices after having a satisfying lunch.
I'll look out the window around 2pm to watch them march down Market ST. I'll listen to them chant about bringing down George Bush. They will knock over news stands which in their minds will somehow send Haliburton a message. They will destroy property to show how unjust the United States is. The tourists will take lots of pictures.
When they are gone and back at their hipster bars in the Mission tonight they won't give two fucks about the Iraqi people. It's not about them. It's not about wanting to live in a safe world where you don't tolerate bombing a hotel full of your own people. Intolerance, violence, terrorism...it's all OK as long as you hate America.
I'm not all for sticking our nose in other people's business all over the world but I sure as hell am not going to take up the cause of the true warmongers out of pure spite.
And now to step down off of my soapbox...
At 5pm today I will officially be on vacation. I still don't have a clue what to do. It will all be decided on the fly. I want to try to go to San Simeon, Yosemite, and Lake Tahoe.
My dad is trying to push me into going down to San Diego. This while at the same time telling me that I have to get my car RIGHT NOW! And then saying that I can't get it on Saturday because that is the day he plays golf. So really that leaves Sunday. So I am supposed to hold off on doing anything until Monday? Then I have to be back in Fremont on Thursday to take my Camry to the DMV to have the title put in my name. So that really just leaves me with 3 days of real vacation, even though I won't be back at work until the 29th. Great.
That chick who was too fat for her clothes asked me to go to Marine World with her tomorrow. Somehow I doubt she lost the 15 pounds already and will freak out at the last minute and say that I can't go because she is too fat. I don't really know what to do. Do I really want to have anything to do with a girl that won't leave the house because she is "too fat?"
I am thinking that I could drive down to San Simeon tomorrow. Tour the Hearst Castle. Take lots of pictures. Then Sunday I could drive to Turlock in the morning. I can grab the Vette, my parents can follow me in the Camry back to Fremont. We can spend the day in San Francisco. Then I'll drive us all back to Turlock Sunday night in the Camry. From there I can go to Yosemite on Monday, then Lake Tahoe on Tuesday, then come back to Turlock on Wednesday. I can get the Camry smogged and just hang out. Thursday I can drive back to Fremont for the DMV appointment. Thursday night I can go to '84 to spazz out to 80's music. Friday I can wander around the city like a tourist. Then I can sit on my butt for the last weekend before I have to go back to work. Really exciting huh?
Today I am going to listen to Danzig. All day long DANZIG DANZIG DANZIG. Then after work if the hippies are outside I can punch one of them.
