ride and gloom

"you hate too much."

so said the future lung cancer corpse named luna on one of our pedestrian pretensions. can't exactly remember what i said to make her surmise that. anyways, of course, i do. there is a lot to hate in this world, heck, in the philippines alone, so many that it i'd probably surpass the limit of the free cyberspace space allotted to me if i ranted about each one of them, especially the very broad ones like politicians. a diatribe of despise on them is like 15 blog posts worth already. if there's anyone with the audacity to waste time and brain cells on them.

so, i thought maybe it's better to stick to something specific. then, i told myself, "hey, handsome dude. what's up? write something about motorcycles with sound systems!"to which myself replied. "okay, cutie."

yes. i hate motorcycles with sound systems. i'd be walking down the street and this helmeted moron would come riding down the road in his audio-equipped moped, usually playing something annoying like soulja boy. i just don't get it. why? why would these bozos hook up their rides with speakers blasting out music like it's campaign season? because cars do? bullturd. the music stays inside (but it is, however, equally loathesome when a car drives by with open windows hip-hop bass blasting out). my father is a bike enthusiast and once belonged to a group of batangas-based big bikers that would regularly go on groups trips riding their two-wheeled machines. not one of them had sound systems. you know what i think? it's just plain arrogance, albeit nonsense arrogance. the car chaps, of course, kinda have a bit of bragging rights with their pimped-out car. still, bottomline is, a car is meant to take you from point a to point b. fill it with stickers, lights, hydraulics, put wings on it, it doesnt matter. it's still a car that gets you around, just like any other beaten up non-fancy car, which would definitely beat any of those lowered cars on a race through humped roads.

but back to the bikes. sound system on these scooters just dont make any sense at all. i strongly believe it should be against the law, as it contributes to noise pollution. if they insist on having music played while riding, then they should exercise their customization skills and put the speakers in their helmets. that way, i wouldn't have recurring thoughts of dropkicking them off their bikes when they pass by. the same goes for you commuters who keep playing mp3s on their phones even when the bus already has the radio/tv on. worse, they're lo w-quality mp3s on non-music cellphones. worser even, i once sat beside a guy who sang along to fergie's big girls don't cry. jesus h. christ.

im sorry if this entry started off straight and just suddenly veered into different directions.

cop: why can't you write your own name? are you drunk, punk?!

p.p.s. i wonder if i'll get to kiss the lips of an angel tomorrow...
p.p.p.s. kitsch. damn right you are.
