It was a lot of moving, but we have a new roomate in the house. Having three bachelors in the house should either be fun or miserable. I'll let you know in six months.
I have been tuned into the concept of the "Bro" subculture. Apparently this terminology has been in use among the kids for a while. For some reason, folks my age used the term douchebag for the popped collar, hemp neckalce wannabe frat boys of the world. Bro is a better indication of their lifestyle however, leaving douchebag free as a general insult once again.
I find these morons fascinating, and could write a whole blog post about them, but who wants that? Instead I will just remark that Bros, unlike some of the frat members of old, aren't particularly good at anything, and seem to live their life because rich parents of today don't push their children to follow in dad's success. Also, the Bros would rather not admit they are in high society, which causes them to take working-class culture and bastardize it in an attempt to be "just one of the guys". Meanwhile they are still free to practice the racism and apathy that comes with their true position in the world.
The Mets are particularly despicable as of late. I stopped talking about them because they became unexciting early. That is not to say I stopped watching (the boxscore) each night, but you don't need to hear how they lost or barely won every day.
What frustrates about this team is how there is no accountability. Players perform awfully, the manager makes boneheaded decisions, and all we here about is how they need to win games, get a good streak going. It never happens, and no one seems to be looking for ways to make it happen. They all seem to think it will drop out of the sky. Few of them get angry, few of them take true responsibility. Half the team should be benched right now, just to show them what happens when they play to collect their paycheck and nothing more.
We don't desrve this play, or the cookie cutter excuses that come with it. How long can we last like this?
