Today being one of those days when you just need to be grumpy and left alone with a book and plenty of coffee, I wandered over to a coffee shop in the late afternoon with the requisite book in tow, assuming I would be able to sip pleasantly for a couple of hours on coffee and read with just the usual buzz of coversation around.<\/p>\n
Silly me.<\/p>\n
The place was crowded. Not a problem normally. But this was crowded with scads of giggly college going people. The girls gushing over the boys in as whiny and sing-song a voice as it gets. (“what yaa? hey, play that song, no, yaa?”)And oh yes, the grubby, wannabe-Cobain with the de rigeur long hair (but couldn’t be more than 16 years old) sitting with an acoustic guitar, murdering the concept formerly known as music.<\/p>\n
“This is supposed to be Zombie.” Indeed. Sounded more like a zombie giving those strings the third degree.<\/p>\n
Giggly, grossly gushing, girl runs her hand through his hair while he pretends to flinch away from it<\/i>
“Hey your hair is not so rough now!”
“Yeah, I washed it. Must have been after two weeks.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe intelligence of the conversation just killed me.<\/p>\n
Then the girl insisted on teaching the guy on how to play “Californication.” Awesome. I don’t know what RHCP would think, but it sounded more like fornication. If you had a hollow wooden bed. With rusty springs. That creaked. And squealed. Even screeched.<\/p>\n
I drank my coffee quickly and almost inhaled the brownie and mercifully left before more pain was inflicted on my poor eardrums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
