They really don’t and I’ve been a lot of freaking places and never seen hipsters anywhere but in their hipster areas of whatever city they inhabit. Same thing here. My friend (who fancys himself somewhat of a hipster) says the other day; “have you found any hipsters to hang out with?”…um, no I tell him…hipsters don’t go on vacation…I’ve never seen a hipster on vacation…first of all; if they truely are a hipster (and not living at home with their parents)…they can’t afford it…I can’t think of the “secondly of all” (there was indeed a second of all on the tip of my verbose pallette) right now it escapes me…but will probalby return at some inconvenient time.
Got up early today…most of these freaking blogs start with “I’m sleeping in”…I don’t want people to start thinking I’m a lazy fuck so I better get up early at least one of these days. So hence; got up early…headed to the beach again.
Saw a crazed lunatic beating up on the rocks…yelling at them and punching them. I guess the rocks deserved it for landing where he wanted to sleep…but I started to wonder if he was hurting his hands and knuckles…he would take breaks between the vigorous beatings…I thought maybe he was a fighter who couldn’t afford punching bags but then I saw the track marks and knew I was sorely mistaken. So as not to be in the path of any astray dirty needles…I venture further down the coast…(there was a reason this side of the beach was so deserted I guess…)…head out on a water taxi to a secluded beach with my pal…it’s creepy to me that they call it Lover’s beach and I’m there with a friend who is a female and NOT my lover…I point this out that it’s creepy numerous times…and then down the way is Divorce Beach where is when the marriage dissolves; they take them to that secluded beach and kill em off or rather “divorce” them. All the natives tell the same funny story about throwing your wife into the ocean. I find it humorous but other tourists don’t…or they just don’t understand what they are saying..nonetheless; I was the only one laughing and I laughed every time I heard it. Drowning is funny to me; what can I say? If you don’t want to be drown by your husband; learn to freaking swim and vice versa.
So we wander and neander around this joint for a while…I want to explore the caves but realize quickly that it is where homeless people urinate and hide out and decide against it. I was secretly hoping to find some pirate hyroglyphics or something interesting but alas; No…just a few homeless guys pissed off that I’d invaded their pissing party…I can see that at home anytime and in Los Diablos; people don’t even hide…they just urinate right out in the open. At least they have the decency to hide but at the same time; I couldn’t help but think they are ruining the pirate’s secret messages encoded on the walls and I was somewhat miffed…but not miffed enough to trapse through a urine soaked cave to get to the bottom of whatever mystery I thought was lurking in there.
Swim around for a while..the ocean carried me far off into it’s depths…(I can swim so it’s okay)…it’s a very strong current over here and every time I tried to get out; the ocean would knock me over..
Watched creepy tourist parents leave their kids ALONE so they could go into the ocean and make out which was someone disturbing and repulsive…first of all; I don’t want to see fourty year olds making out and secondly of all; you are leaving your kid ALONE? Just sitting there on the blanket…a long ways away…eating cheetos and getting sunburned…just so you can get your groove on and pollute our beaches even more? HUH? I don’t understand anyone’s logic anymore.
The water taxi had the guy’s “alleged” name on the side..it said; “Mr. Pinguji…which is Penguin in espanol but I mistook (on purpose) it for Piruja which is hooker in Mexico City slang…so I kept asking when Mr. Hooker was coming back and no one got my joke at all…Cabrons…
Another quick observation is; everyone LOVES to yell shark when people are swimming around in the ocean…not just other tourists but mostly the tour guides and the water taxi drivers which I think is hilarious…but what if there really was a shark? It’s like the boy who cried wolf…except instead; there is lots of boys crying shark…
On the way back to my abode; I am starving and stop off for a vegan burrito and it turns out to be a bunch of mashed up potatoes in a tortilla….yuck…I guess it’s vegan…or maybe they are mocking vegans here; I mean it was vegan after all….no meat in that sucker….gracioso!
Then I saw a bunch of meathead skinheads I’m guessing from San Diego area and they were walking around and being mean to the locals…which annoyed me and then FINALLY; I saw a fucking hipster. (after two weeks a freaking hipsters makes their presence known) I was convinced that hipsters don’t go anywhere cuz they are broke but alas; A hipster…not one but two hipsters…walking around acting like they are all knowing and too cool for school…I then decided they were fake hipsters, pretending to be hipsters but living at home with their parents and going on vaca on their dime and then walking around pretending to be ultra cool in other parts of the world rather than just LA…hmmmmmmmmmm….
The truly ironic part about this hipster tale is; they came into the club later and I thought I’d see if they wanted to do some radio crap (I try to be nice to even icky people until they give me a reason not to)…so I explain the concept and then the one girl says; “We don’t do things like that…we aren’t into radio” “radio sucks”….AHA…the ironic part y’all…is that these hipster folks think they are all knowing when it comes to music and all things Alternative and artsy and now when given the chance; they decline. How can you be a savant on something when you won’t give input? Just blankly look down your nose for no real reason?
For all their hipster music snobbery, you’d think Alternative/Indy/world music is something they would want to be involved with? Oy vey! Damn fake hipsters…
Last thing on the literary agenda for the day;
I do know one thing though; my honorary brown man status translates to other parts of the world. In LA, I’ve always been an honorary brown man and believe it or not; I am here too.
