  • There's this spot on Lyon and Broadway that I chill at to take in a view during my walks. Cops patrol it pretty good because, well, it's Pacific Heights. Anyway, some kids get hassled by a Johnny Law and I decide to walk on down the steep steps. I'll take in my view from a different perspective tonight.


    I hit the first landing and realize what the fuss upstairs is all about. Somebody hit the floor with the most atrocious graffiti. It doesn't look cool and there's not even ownership on the fucker. And I'm not even gonna post the image up to glorify it.


    At first I think nothing of it and walk 'round 'round right 'round some blocks.




    I don't know much about graffiti, but I think it can be an expression of rebellion, angst, emotions, or gang affiliations. These filthy rich white boys, however, seem to tag shit up just to fuck with it. To me, they ain't got a reason to. Trust me, there was nothing emotional about what they drew on that floor. It was poorly drawn, too.




    I get back to the spot after my walk and see that homeboys are still there but the cop ain't. In fact, more people seem to have shown up.


    When I had left them with the cop, their bags were being searched. Explains why they're currently cracking the fuck up. They pull out bongs, weed, and spray paint, making fun of the cop all the while. I don't think I've ever wanted to be Bruce Lee so bad in my life.


    Here are these guys who have every fucking thing going for them. They're rich (judging by the G-Wagon they sport), get away with illegal shit, probably don't have any responsibilities, and live in a neighborhood that I hope I can afford one day. It's not jealousy mind you, but more disappointment with the future.




    Usually I'm a chill guy who doesn't give a shit about this stuff. But one of the white guys spoke up loud enough for me to hear(paraphrased):


    'Dude, white people are like the Romans. They fucking own and shit. But then you got foreigners like Asians who are the Greeks. Invading, trying to BE like the Romans. Man, that's what happened to SF.'


    He went on and on and on about his Dad being under bidded by Chinese contractors. One guy in the group kept looking at me. I think he felt bad. Me, I just sat there and listened. I didn't know high school kids were so fucking smart. He just goes on as I think about how no Chinese contractors live in Pac Heights.


    It gets cold and decide to leave. He says something like he's just being real and all his circle jerk friends go 'yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just the way the world is.' He makes a comment about Romans being the originators, loud enough for me to hear again.


    I stop, turn around. They look at me, some laugh, some look kinda serious. I reply:


    "You know the Greeks won, right?"


    I walk to my car and wait for them to pound on me. They don't. And I think they're too confused to even challenge what I said, doubting their own theories. 


    Pussies, just like I suspected.

  • first comment, biotches!!!!

  • what about the athenians???

    that piece is excellent.

  • That's cause you got them all confused with history. If it ain't about michelob light and fucc their sister from Lousiana they know nothing about it.

  • People have a hard time facing the facts. I'm not Chinese, but I come to accept the fact that China is going to be a world economic superpower. The amount of man power they have at their disposal is mind boggling.

    Also, did you ever notice that on U.S. holidays, the only restaurants open are Chinese restaurants? That says alot. They are working while you are sleeping. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    To Korepsych: congratulations, you were the very first person...to say absolutely nothing.

  • umm... yeah, white people are full of shit.
