chapter ten: dog walkers

(this one's about yuppie dog walkers.)

out of all the things that piss me off, there is one thing that is 3 or 4th on my list of things. that would have to be the "dog walkers" in this town "aka: people who allow there dogs to shit right where im walking and not care because they are on their Iphone talking about the latest drink they got from Starbucks."

holy fuck, i do not care, DO NOT care, if your drink came with out enough water in it, i care more about the dog that you seem not to notice that's shitting in my driveway, so instead of giving me a fake smile and " oh hi there neighbor!!" speech, like you guys usually do, just pick up your fucking poo. or the ones who look at you strange if your walking without a dog, or if your "pooch" isn't dressed up in the latest collar and leash from pet-pro or wherever you yuppie dog people shop.

its these people, and the people clad with all Nike running gear on who are pushing their kids around in a stroller, that remind me why i don't like going downtown. I'm almost positive that someone in mill valley has those designer "dog poo" bags pictured up above.

chapter nine: college

for starters im not the best student. i tend to leave stuff till the last minute. when projects are due, i usually dont have mine and feel stoopid. and i really fucking hate group projects. espically when you have smart people in them, like the kids that obviously have good enough grades to get into any college, but they still choose to whine about when they get a -A. like shit, if i had all
-A's id be pretty...well i cant find words to currently describe it, but still you get the point.

so my three top choices are:

• City College
• SRJC (santa rosa junior college.)
• COM (college of marin)

please note that COM, yes the great "college of marin" which makes you feel like a "super senior" because everyone, EVERYONE from tam who doesnt know where to go or what to do after high school, goes there. holy shit, i do not want to see people from high school, almost everyday. thats the type of problems id have to deal with.

here's a little taste of what...

i plan to be doing after high-school:

• road trip to the midwest. or northern area of america, in a volkswagen bus just like that, most likely the same exact set-up like that.
• then drive back.
• then go to college.
• if i cant afford college because of "money probelms" then ill just have to find some full time job at some shitty fast-food resturant or video rental place. (ill prob have to get a job on the road trip too as well...fuck forgot about that)
• ill be living in my van. because who the fuck wants to pay rent when you've got it this good?
• im pretty serious about this. but in a like, i know it might fail and ill be stranded on some highway.
• no, the chick in that picture wont be with me.

and after all those fun and games. and during all those fun and games. i will still be writing. on this.

chapter eight: marin, un-extraordinary living.

"Wake up early with a view of Mount Tamalpais at the Acqua Hotel on Redwood Highway. Hop in a hybrid and head to Peet’s—the first place to open downtown every day. Grab a tea or coffee and savor its awakening buzz across the street on a bench in Lytton Square, then head to the summit of Mount Tamalpais (2,571 feet) for some serious perspective. Park in the lot and walk the paved 1.2-mile Verna Dunshee loop.

-From Marin: Extraordinary Living

what in "yaddadaithizzlamicyee" is this. does this magazine assume that we want to waste our time in a "hybrid" driving around downtown, (which honestly isnt that big) eating at expensive resturants and going to expensive jewerly stores and watching shitty forgein films at the local theater?


yes i think it does "assume" that. it assumes that we all, yes teenagers included, are apart of this "yuppie" community. with nothing much to actually "do" i can see why this magazine tries so hard to grab the attention of "marin" people. it even tries to make tiburon look like a fun place to live. and whatever else town they mention in that shitty magazine. i guess we all should start driving around the depot in our prius's? shouldnt we? i mean that would be like sooo much fun, i would love driving around in a car that smells like the plastic that old people cover their couches in and the outside air smelling "thick as shit" yeah, i would just like, love THAT.

like i cant afford that type of stuff, those expensive resturants like Bungalow 44 and di'angelo's or however its spelled. and the downtown area sucks. like holy shit, why would i want to drink coffee in the plaza with a bunch of little munchkins running around, and not to mention all the "teenie-bops" and "over 50 hipsters" trying to be young again. jeez...that place is a nightmare. and all the impatient yuppies walking their dogs around like its going out of fashion. i'd like it if your dog wouldn't shit in front of where im walking....

where the wild things are.

i really hope that most of you arent seeing it just because you think it will make you more of a hipster, or just because Karen O produced the soundtrack for it. because i think that most of you are. the same goes for that movie 500 days of summer. the movie's going to be filled with 10 and 12 year old kids, and then you and your friends in your cardigans are just gonna pile in there and be like "oh my god this is so artsy...like i think we should go to a small cafe that no one knows about and discuss it over some starbucks coffee." and even if you dont like the movie that much your just going to agree with all the people who think its "artsy as fuck".

the movie is for little kids, not annoying teenagers who put "where the wild things are" for their status updates on facebook.

please note.

everybody makes mistakes, in my case i decided that it would be "funny" if i wrote about jahan's partys, and i fucked up, as a "rookie" writer i fucked up. i mentioned names, places, and the things going on. this isnt one of those apoligies where it gets all teary and shit, i know what i did was stupid and that i should be sorry for it. and i am. there's nothing else really to say, im sorry jahan and i know i really fucked up.

this doesnt mean im going to stop writing though, and if you actually take any of what i say seriously, good for you, but i dont mean for most of what i write seriously, i want it to be funny. i dont wanna sound like some douche.

thats that.

Tam News.

...isnt that stuff supposed to be funny? i feel like it only "caters" to the intrests of the people who are on the "tam news" like the opinion section? last year with mac douglass it was pretty funny, but now? like why include lame jokes about "health-care bills maybe passing" and people crowding around the kaiser halls. i mean maybe the kids on tam news are just forced to write about stuff. i know sometimes they are. but at least make it something better than "testing teachers" in fact i dont think a single "big article" thats been in there ive actually read, in fact most of the time, like most other kids. i just throw it away.

just because i dont like it, doesnt mean you have to "hate" on me.
