i'm just a suburban boy

i was walking downtown a few days ago (saturday to be exact) and, as per usual, i felt a little happy. i always sort of appreciated the downtown life because of it's active-ness. but yesterday i saw some of the most disturbing things.

1) the boys aren't refined

i was walking and i noticed a couple stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, and all i could hear was the husband speaking rather rudely to his wife, saying things like "shut up, shut up. let go of me, are you crazy?"

all this and it was in front of their child.

briefly watching that little dramatized section of life was a little bit overwhelming. it made me think about the often stupidity of boys (and girls too, in some cases) when it comes to getting into relationships. whether at some point, it leads to broken hearts that need mending or abusive words that do no good, it just re-affirmed in me all the more how much i wish for boys to man up and know what they're getting into when it comes to relationships. liking-to-loving a girl is never a simple matter. really, it isn't.

2) the kids have no idea

walking a bit more, and i saw young kid, who looked no older than the age of 6, lighting up a lighter for this man's cigarette. he was in a wheel chair. i've always found it self-defeating and almost ironic when i see parents smoke in front of their kids. they are given a life, and then they decide to destroy it bit by small bit. it's a little distasteful.

3) rule 1) cardio

i watched zombieland, and admittedly, it was actually funny. i laughed for a good portion of it. but i think what was funny was the small side story of typical romance made of cheese. everyone's looking for love these days. literally everyone.

well, i'm just a suburban boy. what more could i ask for.

God, your call to do what you gotta do with me. thanks.
