#bostonproblems

By the way listening to Boston news is seriously disorienting. They keep saying south shore and I think about Long Beach. #LongIslandProblems

So I have the most epic problem everz. and by epic I mean not really and that there are WAY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD. So my ex's mum gave me a gift card for graduation to JC Penney's. Now, I never shop there, but I figured "oh, I'll just get myself something that costs as much as the card." Well I just hit up their website and there are individual shops for Bruins, Patriots, Red Sox, and Celtics. What am I going to use this gift card for?

a) I Currently don't own anything Patriots that fits as I have shrunk/gotten taller, their season IS starting soon, but most of the stuff is a little expensive so I'd have to spend the gift card and then extra

b) I own two Celtics shirts, one that says Beat LA so I can only wear it on LA vs Boston game days, and a Garnett Jersey. But the C's season doesn't start for a while plus saw a (will remain unnamed) current player and he was a major cranky pants.

c) I have a bunch of Sox stuff but it's not wearables; they are umbrellas, mugs, hats, etc. I used to have a bunch of shirts and stuff but they were given to me by my ex so I threw them out/none of the players are current. I could start wearing it right away too cuz the season is ongoing (not that I don't wear other teams gear in the offseason but it's semi-legit reason right?)

d) I have three Bruins shirts, a player shirt, a team shirt, and then I just bought the Stanley Cup roster Tee but I really want to find a Rask or Savard shirt in my size...

well then...I feel bad because every time I think of Nathan Horton I say Tim Horton in my mind or out loud like Tim Horton the Hockey Player and founder of the restaurant and it's kinda embarrassing ...

Ok. Let me just clarify that I try not to judge people. I REALLY do, but THINGS MUST BE SAID. First off, Context. This photo was taken in Dorchester, MA; for those of you who don't know where that is, it's a considered a part of Boston, to the south of the city centre. So I was just leaving the lab, minding my own business when THIS GUY and his girlfriend (not pictured) get on the bus, they were with a tour group visiting the JFK library I think. Now if this was Newbury St. or even DTX I would have probably shrugged it off because there are loads of foreign tourists who make questionable fashion choices on the regular. I tried to get a good photo but this guy was a super fidget and did not know what to do while he was waiting for the Alewife train.

First off, guy has his collar popped. Not only is it popped but there are actually designs inside the collar, THE SHIRT WAS MADE TO HAVE A POPPED COLLAR. Take note all ye designer polo makers, you can now build in the douchebag into your product! Okay next up. On one arm he has a Rolex, and on the other, power beads. POWER BEADS. And not like little ones. HUGE BIG ASS BEADS. The size of gum balls. Moving on. Fanny Pack/Camera Pouch/WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS. Ok I understand you like to take pictures bro, but you also have your Louis Vuitton Man Purse with you. Like...I can't even... you two bags one on each side and one is worth as much as some families spend on groceries for half a year. You kidding me bro? Like not only is this getup a heinous crime against fashion, but also common sense. It's like you woke up and decided you wanted to be the most awkwardly noticeable human being today. Second. YOU ARE IN DORCHESTER. Three people got stabbed in the past few days, two more people were killed. I'm not gonna say that Dorchester is the worst place of all time because it's definitely not and it's changed a hell of a lot for the better, but bro, use your common sense here. Summertime in the city is the prime season for local on tourist crime. You don't run screaming down the street "I AM A WEALTHY TOURIST WHO HAS NO IDEA WHERE I AM AND YES I'M CARRYING THOUSANDS IN VALUABLE SHIT THAT YOU COULD TOTALLY STEAL FROM ME", so um, why are you dressing like a walking billboard for nefarious types who sometimes populate the area. I couldn't even be shocked if somebody jumped you right on front of me. Jeez bro. And you speak mandarin so me telling you this would do no good.

Now I will stop being a huge bitch and go back to studying.
