Reasons why I hate Bakersfield at THIS MOMENT
1. Two days coming back to Bakersfield, I get a perturbed text from an old church mate who happened to be gay. Turns out St. Philips has joined the ban wagon of being political. Target? Proposition 8. A homily on proposition 8. Hmmm... no wonder I haven't gone to church in forever when I'm at home.
2. I wore comfy sweaters in SF to guard me from the soothing brisk air that caressed the pores of my cheeks. Today I think I got a heat stroke. Maybe even two. ((Where's my exedrin?))
3. Apparently graduating from high school and keeping a distance from frat houses don't keep douche-bags at bay, especially if you have my brother. He is the king of having the company of douche-bags, and what did one douche-bag do? Smash my (and my grandma's) door, leaving my door... well essentially useless. Justification? He was drunk.
4. "I don't want to sound racist but..."
5. So I'm at the gym, came out of the pool and was drying off in the sauna where to jaunty old white men were talking politics. An example of some of the statements made included "I don't want to sound racist, but Obama sounds like black men i've seen in prison who had a smooth way of talking to get out of things. That's why I don't trust Obama." another statement was "I wanted Mitt Romney as a candidate. Sure he's Morman, but if he was running he would be going against Obama, a Muslim. So who would you choose, a Morman or a Muslim?"
If Bakersfield were to be wiped out of the face of the earth, and I would be just one small casualty, I think the sacrifice would be well worth it.
