Feminism

Do you ever meet someone, specifically a man, whom you just want to punch in the face? I don't mean because they actually did anything wrong, but just because you find them to be a despicable human being?

Example one: This cholo sitting at our bar tonight. Apparently his name is "Brian" which is so original I can't take it. I hope no one named Brian is reading this. I'm talking to him and his friend because I'm ridiculously bored. There is also a kind of sleazy older guy sitting in the seat next to them. This "Brian" asshole is talking to me about being a philosophy major and how I use that every day unlike something like trigonometry. Which is such a bullshit way to look at it because trigonometry could actually help you answer something or make money, whereas philosophy will only make you want to kill yourself. He then proceeded to tell me that he "hates girls like that" when I told him how I'm never single, I always move from one serious relationship to the next (no comments). Then sleazy old guy walks by me and tells me I have a cute little butt and "Brian" says "I don't know that guy." so as to distance himself from the remark. Which pissed me off because rather than being honest like sleazeball and admitting that he is just a walking penis, he was trying to run some kind of stupid game on me and lead me to believe he has some kind of redeeming qualities and "hates girls like me". I'd rather talk to old balls who probably has some common sense than leather jacket wearing douche bags who probably still live at home. I really wanted to punch him in the face.

Example two: Dude on the train from Portland to the airport. Everything this guy did made me want to gag, wash my hands, or kick him in the balls. He got on the train and sat directly across from me, which I hate. I want to be able to stare blankly into space, not be forced to turn my head to stare blankly out the window. Then he clears his throat in the sinus-draining, bringing phlegm into the back of your throat to hack it up, kind of way. ::Shudder:: Then a girl got on the train and sat next to him, I don't know why she would sit there. He takes a drink out of his coke can and starts making this tasty noise, smacking his lips. It was almost pornographic considering the context. The girl pulled out a book, probably to try to forget about the creepo, and then got off at the next stop. He continues clearing his throat and being gross, then he sits his coke can down on the seat next to him. A stop later, the can falls over, and he looks at it, and ignores it. I knew that little asshole was just going to leave his can on the train, and he did. I wanted to call him out and ask him if he forgot his can but I didn't, because I didn't want to get hit by some psycho stranger. And you think I'm bad for not recycling. At least I can put garbage in its proper receptacles. I guarantee that guy also spits on the street, which is so unnecessary and revolting. It's called swallowing you fucking idiots. 99% of the population knows how to do it, why don't you? On top of that, you're spreading your lower-class diseases and tuberculosis all over the place.

Ugh. I think I might become les.

i like how this post was called feminism, yet the only thing that made me think of feminism in this whole post was the mention of going les.

i am a spitter. i'm not sure know what it is, but when i'm outside, i can't fight the compulsion to spit. i should work on that.

finally, i'd like to state that "iam les" is the best line of the 00's so far. We need to tune in tonight or this weekend to see JENN in Florida with her 'brother' and her 'lover'.

I meet people that I want to kill all the time. It's human instinct.
And you should probably blow off some steam and listen to some Ani DiFranco.

"I don't know that person who just made that piggish comment..." I should try that play some time. Maybe you could even be my wingwoman...pretend to be les and say something like that to my target so I can build up my perceived value as a human being.

I, too, am a compulsive spitter, but at least I try to do it when nobody's watching.
