I try to be a good citizen socialist. I try to do my small part to not be just a member of the deluded masses. I resist the urge to engage in the dozens of opportunities to propogate the culture of consumerism. The world is tyring to make me fail.
I had simple goals: Coffee, some time out of the house, a comfortable seat to write in. I remembered the local coffee shop proudly claiming "Free WiFi" in its windows. Wonderful, I thought, I'll feel much better about spending $4 on coffee it it supports a small business owner. What did it get in return? A little card with a password for a whopping half hour of free internet, upon the completion of which I would have to pay for continued use of the "free" internet. Fuck you, world! That's what I think of your precious internet. Do you know what options you leave me with for internet in the outside world? Starbucks and fucking McDonalds.
Where am I writing this from? A Starbucks, obviously. You know why? Seriously, you know why. I just told you. If you already forgot, stop reading this and go immediately to your doctor. You are Memento.
