I love to hate hipsters

Feb 05, 2008 23:39

Portland, being the burgeoning little city that it is, has become home to many MANY displaced hipsters who move here for the hippy ideals, outdoorsy activities, and vegan menu's that are Portland's claim to fame. I have no real beef with hipsters except for my increasing encounters with them that make me want to throw up a little in my mouth and then spit my bile all over their stupid hippy ideals and egotistical ways. Tonight I went to karaoke with some friends I have made here in Portland. These girls generally go every Tuesday (I know, these ventures are no replacement for Tuesday Night Dinners, but I try my best to fill the void) to sing karaoke somewhere in Portland. I generally make it every-other Tuesday and rarely do I sing (they are WAY too good to follow), and I usually treat these ventures as social outings. Tonight I met another one of these girls' hipster friends, apparently they attract a LOT of them. She was nice but her boyfriend was um, stupid. Let me play out for you the scenerio as it happened....

BOY: I had no idea that people outside of New Orleans celebrated Mardi Gras?
ME: Um....(STRIKE ONE LOSER!!)
BOY: Why do people even celebrate, it is just a stupid American holiday that New Orleans created to boost tourism.
ME: Um...(STRIKE TWO ASSHOLE-I mean, really, how stupid are you?!?)

He never got to strike three because I left. But I can only imagine that he would say something even more ridiculous and stupid like what does Mardi Gras mean? Or Mardi Gras is pig latin for show me your boobies.... I mean, he had a lip ring AND he was chain smoking. The sad part is when he walked in I thought he was kinda cute. Think again!!

Just had to vent. Otherwise Portland is pretty wicked. Everyone should come visit me!!!
