Blame Canada (or, "It Wasn't Texas' Fault This Time")

Went to go meet mobley in the scenic U District tonight. He spent a good deal of time schooling me on some music that I had never heard before (B, my friend, that is a rare feat. I just want you to know that) We then stopped for a slice of pizza. After the pizza clerk stopped trippin, we moved on up to the Irish Emigrant for several drinks and an in depth examination of our favorite 5 MCs of all time, and hip-hop in general. At one point, when we were about to leave, a minor altercation occurred between me and some Canadian jackass, which went something like this:

"Where are you from?"

"From Vancouver, eh"

"Oh, I could tell,"

Apparently Mr. Great White North and his three-toothed companion didn't care much for my critique of football (GAA, or 'Irish' football vs. American (NFL) football). I got into it with the piss-reeking-dentally-challenged-Deliverance-lookin' motherfucker, while Mobley took the Canuck up in a debate re: the suck ass Vancouver (now memphis) Grizzlies. Fisticuffs were avoided, but it probably would have been damn funny if that did happen.

What the hell am I talking about? I'm a fucking pacifist! I hate fighting. I just couldn't help but laugh at these characters. Upon leaving the bar, I broke into almost uncontrollable laughter.

O Canada. Why do you send us such jackasses? I really want to like you, but jeeez... :)

People are fucked up.

We're under attack!

God. The fucking Blue Angels. Every August, the city of Seattle gets transformed into the equivalent of a war zone, with American military jets flying low over the city, rattling our windows and shaking the ground. The acrobatic flying is spectacular and can be fun to watch, but it always makes me think of what it must be like for people who live in places like Iraq, where they have planes cruising around at all times. No thanks.

Thibbbit.

It is so fucking hot in here. Sweltering, even.

Bleh.

Ack

Lately, whenever the HVAC (the heating/AC system) in this ofice goes off, it is accompanied by a low rumble and vibration that is eerily similar to that which happened in the February earthquake.

Man, fuck this place.
