The thing is, an environment or surrounding makes a huge amount of difference for affecting your mood. A sunny tropical beach vs a polluted urban city is quite the change
Which is why I hate vacationing with certain people who will remain unnamed. There’s a shade-adjacent stand selling the most beautiful Cuban sandwiches I’ve ever seen and the line subsided just as we went past, why in the flying fuck are you walking into a Long John Silvers, mom??
Everything is better in Hawaii
I remember walking into one of their ABC stores on my first trip there and seeing an $8 gallon of milk, a $49 bottle of Jose cuervo, and a $0.19 whole pineapple. That was a shock.
I, being largely broke, bought the pineapple. As I walked out, a sudden storm hit, drenching me instantly. Soaked and realizing I had absolutely no way to open a pineapple, I turned to a nearby park bench and literally smashed it open on the back rest, rain pounding down on me. I tore into the pineapple, broken and leaking, and it was the sweetest, sharpest flavor I had ever tasted. It burned my tastebuds, the bromaline in the pineapple flesh trying to eat me as I ate it.
I swear to fuck that as I bit down into that sheared fruit that the heavens cracked above and lightning slammed down close enough to see. It was like some ancient god was nodding to this savage idiot with spikey sweet fruit crushed into his hands. I remember grinning like a fool, just doused in the islands.
Hawaii fucks. Its just fucks and fucks.
The weather's certainly better, but damn was I disappointed in the car dependency and poverty levels.
Is that really true? I've never been anywhere too different than where I am, but I do have access to quite a bit of greenspace within and outside of the city. I've found it great! But the way people go on about their sunny vacations... like being here is being dragged back into the muck... I mean it doesn't make me want to go, but it makes me wonder about the effect.
Some people are just unhappy no matter their circumstances.
Ahhh, it's the old Mac Hall comic strip creator! Crazy he's still kicking content out.
It's a slow trickle these days, but still fun when something new gets published. This one is from the archives.
DAE eat food unironically?
My friend ate fries spitefully at me, once.
monotonous dining out, what is this Paris in 1904?
