william and chris came over on saturday, and watched some of the world cup with me. i like soccer more than i used to.
william and chris ate ice cream, and william had a diet pepsi as well, because he is on a diet. chris got a cup instead of a cone. he is not on a diet.
___
i watch a lot of sports.
the dallas mavericks are my favorite basketball team. not because i like them, but because in four short games they took everyone in dallas from being really really happy about their team and city, to being really sad about how stupid and dumb they all are.
dallas is a fucking stupid place.
here is a secret for everyone that doesn’t live in texas or dallas:
everyone in texas that doesn’t live in dallas hates dallas.
in fact, the majority of people that live in dallas hate dallas.
it is a stupid, backwards place that is still very much a beacon for piece-of-shitness in america. the people there are stuck-up for no good reason.
also, when people in dallas talk about art, you want to kill their children.
i am sorry.
___
i want to talk about the major cities of texas, and give a few details about them that show how they are all better, in some way, than dallas.
houston the largest metropolitan area of the southern united states. integrated racially, and very diverse. not full of shit. cultured, and home to many wonderful world-class museums and universities.
san antonio not full of shit. cute. people are nice, and not total dicks.
austin has nice landscape. nothing else.
austin is also a piece of shit, but less shitty than dallas.
___
maybe i need to talk a little about austin, while i am doing this.
people in austin talk about how progressive they are. maybe in the way they recycle their toilet paper or whatever, but that’s where the progressive attitude stops.
the middle leisure class of austin would be much more progressive to understand how pointless life is, embrace it, and accept that most people do not have the time or the desire or the ability to live the way most people who shop at whole foods and visit a psychiatrist and run in the park everyday live.
knowing this, and adjusting your attitude accordingly, is more important than trying to force everybody into a 90′s ‘express yourself!’ mentality. expressing yourself is overrated.
bitching about how stupid people are because they like disney movies and drive suvs is worthless and solves nothing.
it is the same flawed and horrible thinking when a person bitches about how stupid people are for not accepting jesus into their lives.
both thoughts come from the same fucked mindset.
this mindset occurs when a person feels that whatever dumb thing they believe is, for one reason or another, much smarter and much more correct than an opposing view.
this desire to distance oneself from people and make some equally valid idea the ‘other’, along with trying to abstract ‘evil’ from an opinion, is probably the worst thing that can ever exist in the mind of a human being.
this is just one of the many reasons why i want to drive a hummer into barton springs almost as much as i love the mavericks.
___
i was accosted by a man on the street the other day, who wanted to point out that no man is an island.
i responded that i, in fact, am an island, and kept walking.
according to him, i am going to hell for being “evil”.
fuck him. he is going to hell, i thought.
___
i like sports.
fuck dallas.
before chris and william came over to watch a little of the world cup, i had some ice cream on my own. it was awesome.
i got 10% off because i live in the building.
it was good ice cream.
i am now on a diet, because my pants are getting tight.
