So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | It was never my intention to leave work 45 minutes early only to arrive at home 15 minutes before I normally would. Wednesday, September 12, 2007 @ 6:55 pm I am so over Silicon Valley. If I am lucky enough to leave this place, I wouldn't be too torn up about it. Today, it took me 70 minutes to drive 18 miles. While sitting in traffic, I started yelling "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" with my windows rolled down, calling out to no one in particular, but searching for a way to soothe my soul. And you know what? It kinda worked. For a while there, I was laughing. My one pure moment of lysergic bliss in all the maddening, stagnant chaos consuming me. And then I realized I was still five miles from home. And then the rage took over. And then the stereo volume exploded. And they fed into each other. And here we are now. I HATE YOU, SAN JOSE! DO YOU HEAR THAT? I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU AND YOUR TRAFFIC AND YOUR LACK OF USABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND YOUR CRAPPY DOWNTOWN! I HATE YOU AND YOUR STOLEN SHOPPING CARTS ON STREET CORNERS AND YOUR IDIOTIC ASIAN MOTORCYCLE GANGS AND YOUR TACKY MCMANSIONS ON TREELESS HILLS! I HATE YOU AND YOUR ENDLESS SUBURBIAN NIGHTMARE AND YOUR INCESSANT NEED TO DEVELOP OPEN LANDS INTO HOUSING THAT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE SUPPORTED BY YOUR CURRENT INADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE! I HATE YOU AND YOUR PUBLIC PARKS WITH NO RESTROOMS AND YOUR DISTINCT LACK OF DISTINCT GEOGRAPHY AND YOUR STUPID FLUORESCENT MARIGOLD SODIUM STREETLAMPS THAT POLLUTE THE NIGHT SKY WITH ITS SICKLY UNNATURAL GLOW! I hate that you're all I've got... And maybe that's why I'm so angry. 7 Comments. San Jose is a big city. I think you just live in the wrong part. :P Not that I particulary love where I am, either, but I don't have this seething hatred of it. » randomjunk on 2007-09-12 10:20:11 I guess you're right about that. I'm not really the type who needs lots of excitement in my life, as long as I can sleep, so I don't mind much. And there IS the internet, always a source of entertainment. » randomjunk on 2007-09-12 11:03:05 Well, traffic is definitely something that's more of an issue there. It doesn't take that long to get places from my house, at least in my experience. We don't go downtown much. I agree that having to wait that long to get anywhere sucks, but there could be alternatives. How far are you going, exactly? If it's within city limits I'd think a bike would work. » randomjunk on 2007-09-12 11:14:21 *sigh* Go travel the world and get away for a while. ;) I wish I could... » Silver-dot- on 2007-09-12 11:36:02 errr.... take care. if u really need to release anger whatsoever, try scratching on some thing. i often do that. » renaye on 2007-09-13 12:23:03 So is R:C short for re: comment? Which is short for 'reply to your comment'? Because I just thought that it was an emo smiley-man. You know, with the very sad emo frown and the hair swept across the forehead and then falling into the eyes at the bottom of the R. Hm. I had been wondering why you were so emo even when your reply to my comment wasn't. » Zanzibar on 2007-09-14 02:23:40 WTF?! I wouldn't want to live/work in a place like that at all. » ikimashokie on 2007-09-15 07:12:15
