things I don’t like:


strip malls
Hummers on city streets (if you’re that insecure, therapy is a cheaper alternative)
double standards
underfunding of the education system, especially with so much being spent on war
dismissal of the arts (because “it doesn’t bring in money”)
emphasis on money in general
“intelligent design”
syndicated comics (bar Get Fuzzy)
the 21+ drinking age


things I do like, very much:


the diversity, geographically and culturally
the people. maybe it’s because I live out west, but people are generally laid-back.
the opportunities for higher education
jazz and rockabilly
Sufjan Stevens (it’s cheesy, but his music makes me proud to be American)
the Pacific Northwest
Apple computers




the freedom to express your opinion… unfortunately ( I have no idea how to transalte this, so all of you who know spanish help me out) sometimes this “libertad se vuelve libertinaje”



“this freedom turns to licentiousness”
