Small City Life

Man it sucks that everyone in Hamilton can be so patently boring without even noticing. Even the least uninteresting of my friends have fallen prey to The Boy/Girlfriend Disease to which the only cure is pre-occupation of yourself as well. I am of course just seethingly, glowingly jealous and lonely and destitute and oh I just might cry you a river.

But instead I will just thin out the garden with Mom, cook some homemade soup, bake some banana bread and mix some jazzy house records (hint: Fluid Ounce is still your friend) in attempt to shake my ennui. I'm here in hopes that maybe people will figure out that hanging around the same person in all your free time is really fucking boring. That weekends are meant for hanging out with your cool gay friends AND your present lover. But this is just me being a subversive homosexualist trying to undermine the institution of marriage by suggesting that people of all sexualities seek out meaningful relationships of many capacities in their lives.

What's up with the growing amount of gay men making absolutely glaringly chauvenistic comments in efforts to impress eachother?

"Yeah man, I'd totally do her up her cunt with a huge cucumber until she bleeds like it's that time of the month!"

I understand that there is context that it's funny but so often these comments are made out of such context in an effort to impress. More internalized homophobia? Quite possibly. As if acting like a straight meathead is gonna make you more manly. Please, straight men who know anything about women still think you're a dolt.

Also affecting a ghetto accent... Now I've never been able to cut it without significant effort and really refuse to wear it as a badge of honour. I might as well be affecting the Swedish Chef from The Muppet show 'cause I jeel just as absurd. I don't think anyone really wants to be talking the way they to be honest. It's just some sort of fucked up cultural expectation that y'all talk like some poorass nigga who ain't learned much 'cause the man be keepin' him down.

Middly class pride... yo.

Bill (bitterlawngnome) has posted some photos and sublime commentary on the closing of a long standing Church St. business. The Devon Restaurant closes today and will likely be replaced with something really shitty and unremarkable. I'm a fan of the place because it's one of the few establishments in the area that isn't geared to yuppie incomes and isn't a franchise or major chain restaurant.
