what a safari

went to an "auction farm for singles" yesterday. a mundane safari of pathos and desperation. a place so obscene it makes a downtown crack house look like the chicago sound-bar.

here we have a thousand or so odd people (and i do mean odd) lichored-up on copious amounts of local brew, listening techno renditions of local folk music, sung in native tongue (not english).

men acting out their boisterous alpha-male selves, ego's the size of the monumental chapel, also on the grounds (why? a nightclub with a chapel?!). women, easier than fishing in a barrel with a sawn-off browning, makes a town-central prostitute look like audrey hepburn. altogether a very sad sight.

and here's the crazy thing..

everybody loves this place. come 10pm, this place is packed. why? can anybody really be that desperate? i was there with a bunch of friends. we came in and bought a round of beers. and we couldn't down them fast enough to get out of there. i never finished mine, was just so relieved we left.

may i never set foot in a place even remotely similar..

Good Times.
It isn't easy having a good time, even smiling makes my face ache.
