Day # 113 - White People Dancing

So I worked a big Food & Wine (swine?) event last night. I am exhausted and this is why I am writing so late. I'm about four hours behind schedule.

This event was a collection of restaurants from across the county showcasing their culinary achievements. People paid lots of money to be there, which made me wonder why there were so many vegetarians...

I mean, seriously, why on earth are you at a FOOD event if you don't eat? And don't even get me on the momos who were watching their carb intake!

Then there was the dancing. I think there is a time in a man's life, when you can no longer dance without becoming a caricature of your former self. I mean, the gyrations, the gold chains. The 70's are over. I'm sorry, they were killed by the 80's, who seem to be making a comeback. There is no justice.

If I sound cynical, it's because I am. I was surrounded by people who will tell you how much they care for the environment, but have no problem eating out of Styrofoam bowls and burning through half a dozen plastic forks - utensils that will linger on in a landfill millenia after the delicacies of the evening have been flushed away. It is important to note that I am not an environmentalist. I love nature and God's creations. I dislike waste and hate hypocrisy. Oh, how do I know they care for the environment? Call it a hunch.

I need a break.

If you must dance, know how. If you don't know how but really want to, take lessons. Arthur Murray lives on!

A lot on my mind today, sorry for the anger.

I learned that being around the wrong people will make you the wrong people. Remember that.
