I look at the Hipsters in the drive and I first thought "hey, why are they all dressing like we did but frumpier and with the glasses missing from the frames?"

then I realised that the hipsters are being ironic about our irony. Meta irony. but they don't really know it. unaware meta-irony. that's, like, deep, deep irony.

tossers. I wish the indie beer hadn't gotten so over priced.

and why do all the bands sound like Mud Honey did 20 years ago, except worse?

Someone asked me who Douglas Coupland was. In fucking Vancouver. I just said "oh, nevermind." and sighed, looked at some scent free, carboard-recycled liquid laundy soap bottles on the shelf and wondered why things that we actually fought for, environmentally was being packaged and then sold at twice the price. that wasn't the point.

I still haven't paid off my student loan.

Struggling how to put up with people while the "go through their process" knowing they are going to learn it is all just a pile of BS in the end.

I know they won't believe me though. And it will take a long time.

I'm not cynical. I just know what I can and can't really change. And any thing short of a revolution is only worth so much.
