1st Blog/Hipsters

So I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but since summer is ending and I need a hobby I figured I would give it a try. After working and living in the Elmwood Village for years now I have found that too many conversations revolve around the things and people that we all see everyday, (i.e. the Elmwood crazies we all know and adore), and writing about those could be a years worth of blogging right there. Because of the whole living and working in the neighborhood thing I think I should make sure that noone knows I am writing this, as to not risk loosing friends, job, places I frequent spitting in my wine or food, etc.

So to get to it, I think my first blog will be about hipsters. Now sorry guys, I know and love you, and many of you are my actual friends, but....You are annoying the crap out of me. I liken you to middle school kids who claim they wear black clothing and makeup and listen to screamo because they don't want to be like everybody else; but in reality you are just trying to fit in to another group. We are all in our 20's and 30's now, so I think its about time to stop trying to be a cool kid. And please don't tell me you just happen to like all these hipster things. Sure maybe you love Indie music, so do I, BUT I don't believe that you also love vintage bikes, tons and tattoos, skinny jeans, American Apparel, Ray Bans, playing in a band, hanging on Allen, riding your bike down the middle of Elmwood, hair in your eyes, trendy beers, etc. etc.

I guess I just find you so annoying because I don't understand grown adults trying so hard to be cool kids. It wasn't all it was cut out to be in highschool, and it sure as hell isn't now. Grow up, stop hurting any career choices you may have in the future with all those tattoos, and guys buy some pants that you can ride your super awesome vintage bike in. Chances are I will think you are even cooler after you make these life changes and will be more likely to buy you one of your favorite trendy beers.

Thanks to anyone who actually reads this =)
