Being stuck in Champaign (cornfield central, USA), there's pretty much nothing to do for fun except drink (as is the case/excuse for many colleges, I assume). <br /><br />Long story short, I find myself trying to drunkenly navigate past all the bros and beer sluts when I see a sight for sore eyes, an optical oasis, if you will...<br /><br />There, walking towards me, is a guy my age wearing none other than a Cobra Skulls t-shirt! <br /><br />"Holy fucking shit! Finally someone that isn't obsessed with the latest Ke$ha single!" I thought to myself, which translated to a slurred "Heyyyy nice shirt! I love that band, they're sickkkk!"<br /><br />Looking confused, the kid glances down at his shirt, then back up at me. He replies: "What? A band? I got this shirt of ebay... I figured it was some sort of motorcycle gang or line of affliction or something... damn..." and then continues to gyrate/fist-pump his way past me towards the "dance floor."<br /><br />I don't know what's worse, the fact that this kid thought Cobra Skulls was some sort of "tough guy" bro-attire, or that he was one of the only people I've seen wearing a punk band t-shirt around campus.<br /><br />What a weird fucking night.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179079415035234552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-49341883036718154682010-08-28T01:18:52.024-07:002010-08-28T01:18:52.024-07:00Living in Africa (South Africa) to be exact, and h...Living in Africa (South Africa) to be exact, and having been through a bit of Europe and interacted with westerners of varying ilks, I can attest to a sort of "geographical desensitization". <br /><br />Of course we're all swayed by our own perception of life, which is in itself skewered by personal life experiences (a neurotic white kid from the burbs here will definitely have a different barometer as to what he deems fucked up in comparison to a kid out of an informal settlement who will have to be as hard as nails just to survive). Life is subjective is what I'm saying here, I guess.<br /><br />Returning to my original point, when checking out the various news outlets over here I can, generally without fail, be assured I'll catch something related to a brutal murder/rape/(insert violent crime of your preference here). Reading stories about women having multiple boiling kettles of water dumped on them (and subsequently dying from wounds incurred)...and then reading something equally brutal the following day is eventually going to have a desensitizing affect (I don't care how empathetic of an individual you are, it's an unavoidable built in coping mechanism). Likewise HIV/AIDS related stories (and there are many) become less and less bleak the more you are exposed to them (coping mechanism, remember).<br /><br />As a side node, I'm painting a pretty depressing picture for a country that hosted a (mostly) incident free soccer world cup, but I can assure you we (as one of the emerging countries within the continent) have our share of fucked up shit going down (although I guess to Malawians we must appear like some kind of promised land) - it just tends to go down in areas white kids from the burbs and tourists from the states alike don't tend to frequent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727539927977443609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-31220453587975916452010-08-27T21:54:20.249-07:002010-08-27T21:54:20.249-07:00Alright, hopefully I'm not digging myself any ...Alright, hopefully I'm not digging myself any deeper by doing this, but I'd like to apologize for being a "boner" last night.

This guy was all intense, and then he finished his "workout" and he looked really relieved, like he had a sense of accomplishment.<br />Ok, anyway.
