Bohemian LIke You
I met our neighbor John this weekend. For those who don't know - he is scary neck tattoo guy that seems real quiet all the time. I had never hung out with him before but he has done laundry at my house and introduced me to this cool girl Julie once - so we walk out of Caralyn's house across the street with this new kid Jeremy - and this other girl said "I'm going to get John" to which my ears perked up because he's not as bullshit frattastic as the rest of my usual cohorts.
We went over to Drifters and I started to talk to him about how much I hate Federal Hill now and all the people that hang out in bars in their black pants and striped shirts. I was asking him why he was down here instead of in Mt. Vernon where he looked like he belonged. He then said "I really like to look at the girls down here." I then noticed his greasy little smile and this smarmy fakeness about him and I just walked away. I then leaned my arms over the railing, shrugged and walked home.
I had my little faux ipod with me and I found it fuckin funny that the song below played. I stereotyped this guy into being someone I might want to hang out with, when in actuality he was just like everyone else only with cooler clothes, a better taste in music, better read, and socially salty.
I really would like to move but I think first I have to find something that I want to be involved with. This song also makes me think of Erin's friend Hans and all the snooty Mt. Vernon kids that aren't really snooty but just more or less looking for something else - - it's just that the something else they are looking for is just as bullshit as the things that all the normal people have already found. They get teh same comfort out of BMW's and Reality TV as snooty kids get out of dingy clubs with rap bands and tofu. Vicious cycle. lol

And I feel
Wait
Who's that guy just hangin' at your pad
He's lookin' kinda bummed
You broke up that's too bad
I guess it's fair if he always pays the rent
And he doesn't get bent about
Sleeping on the couch when I'm there
'Cos I like you
Yeah I like you
And I'm feeling so bohemian like you
