the bitter, bitter blogosphere

i remember when i ran a hotline server hosting a buncha indie rock that all my worldwide digital buddies could download and upload and discuss and share. i was in my very very early twenties and so effin full of myself, you should read some of the shit i posted. honestly, i thought i had everything figured out, i thought i was about the most brilliant thing on earth.

i was fulla shit. so fucking hyped up on philosophy class and sociology, and all that really was, was a way to organize, label and classify everything we already knew from just fucking being. our collective OCD. must label, must classify. must wash hands 28 times.

now i read all these other bloggers and they all sound like i did. it makes me laugh because one day something is going to occur in these people's lives that will make them realize they ain't shit, they dunno shit, no one really does and all we can do is live to be happy.

i moved to mexico. no one complains here (except about the food, and even then that tends just to be us food-spoiled vancouverites), everyone is happy. most are drunk. even prison here is a much happier thing than canada or the US. this is the place to be. the place to raise a child? hellz YES. the docs are far better than any i could possibly imagine in canada, materialism is minimal, racism is low, and everyone who lives here lives a healthy, relaxed, outdoor lifestyle.

i can't imagine bringing joey into the world in vancouver where every second person i know spends half their day whining about asian people, or where birthday party success is measured by how many gifts you got, where christmas shopping begins the day after christmas, where no one has time for anything, everyone is going broke on gas and it's sunny maybe 5 days of the year.

mexico. we learn to wait here, we learn to slow down, relax, enjoy the truly important things rather than wishing there were more hours in the day so we could find the time to finish our bullshit. i love this place, and everytime i hear some twenty-something bitch and moan about the world and waxing their blog with silly attempts at depth and meaning, i just wanna say, move to mexico. none of that will matter anymore.
