fuck east coast hipsters
anyway, i think my title says it all, and i really needn't go into detail. but seriously? generally, although i can, at times, exhibit certain hipster characteristics, i stay away from the whole hipster dynamic because? it gets tiresome. you know, most like any mantle one chooses to wear. except for being an asshole, which is easy to maintain within any group or individual setting, and melds great with almost everything i wear, eat, or drink...
anyway, i felt the same way back on the western half of the US about the hipsters, and i more or less thought that both groups were the same until spending time in and amongst them, and i realized that east coast hipsters really have much much much bigger logs rammed up their backsides. hipsters in the northwest (i won't speak for those in L.A., etc) are full of themselves, sure...but it's a more laid-back atmosphere. sure they think they're better then everyone else, but that doesn't bar others from participating/existing. and, at the end of the day, it seems that the point to going out is still to have fun. i've come to the conclusion over here that the point to going out, at least in a hipster bar environment, is to be seen and/or make other people (whether hipster or not) miserable. and while i have met a couple of people that i really like and have fun with in that general segment of people here, on the whole, the majority of them can just go ahead and fuck themselves.
in other news, work is a drag! and saddness that while i have been spending time with all these lame-ass hipsters, i haven't been spending time with my favorite ms. pink who is not long for new england, and thus will no longer be close enough for a quick one day visit-a-rama. le sigh.
