Sights and sounds of the town that is down
I have been living in downtown San Diego for about 2 months now and it has been everything I thought it would be and more. I have seen more interesting things is the short time I have lived in my new place than the 4 years I had lived at my old pad in a more suburban setting. Besides some of the characters I have already chronicled in past posts I have noticed a few things about my fellow downtown San Diegans including:
“Statutory Grape”
This really has to be seen to be believed. I saw this car with its back end bumping and the tunes blasting at about 5:30 on Friday afternoon. When does the thought of detailing your car with the term “Statutory Grape” sound like a good idea? Picture this: your daughter is waiting for her new boyfriend and she sees this purple monstrosity rolling down the street and starts squealing “he’s here… he’s here!” Do you A – Tie up your daughter, duct tape her mouth and hope that the car drives by. B – Meet your daughter’s new boyfriend in the driveway and get the lowdown on when the next “freaknik” is going to be held. C – Give your daughter a $30 gift card to Applebee’s and send her on her way then go downstairs and hang yourself with a note pinned to yourself saying “I didn’t know how to raise my daughter”. Your call… choose wisely. *sidenote* By the way, if you saw this vehicle, Googled it and came to my site, drop a note in the comments with a story on where you saw it. It will be my way of giving back to the community. *end sidenote*
Various Hobos
My hobo ignoring skills have really made a resurgence lately. San Diego is really the best town in the world if you are a hobo. Nice weather, decent people and a great dumpster selection make San Diego a prime hobo location. Unfortunately there is a vacant commercial space right below my building and a bunch of homeless people that congregate there at all hours. If I were to give them money every time that I passed by I would need to take out a small business loan to support them. Sometimes hobos can not be ignored though. Case in point: my friend from San Francisco recently told me that she came across a hobo blowing another hobo on her walk home from work. As disturbing as that is it brings us to a more important question – Is there anything that would taste worse than hobo-cock? I spurred me to develop a new taste scale that can be applied in any situation. It is a simple 0-10 scale of the taste of an object ranging from o (hobo cock) to 10 (homemade German chocolate cake). I really need to get a show on Food Network with this.
Me in my underpants
That’s right… in my extreme laziness and my multiple large windows that face a busy street have made me an exhibitionist At this point I don’t really give a shit but if you are strolling along downtown San Diego you can probably get a great look of a lanky blog writer who is too lazy to close the blinds… what… no takers??? Fine – you suck anyways.
Any good sights and sounds lately in your neighborhood?
[...] deficiency. Expect great things. I hope to add to my picture stockpile and capture more sexual harassment themed Monte Carlos in the coming weeks. The possibilities are endless, but I have already missed so many photo/video [...]
MAN YOUR A DUMBA** “STATUTORY GRAPE” IS THA NAME OF THE CAR SIMPLE BECAUSE IT PURPLE …. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT HIM AS A PERSON … YOU DONT EVEN KNO THA GUY AND YOUR TALKING SHYT!!!!

U NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP STEREOTYPING AND JUDGING PEOPLE U DONT EVEN KNO…… GROW AND MIND YOUR BUSINESS ……DUMBA**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh, Jimmie, I’m sure the owner of the car is a wonderful guy, I never said a disparaging remark about him, and I fully admit to being a “DUMBASS” myself. I simply pointed out that it probably would not make a good impression on a first date. You may want to take your own advice on “STEREOTYPING AND JUDGING PEOPLE U DONT EVEN KNOW”. Thanks for reading.
JIMMIE COULDNT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER. IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE COULTURE THEN DONT SPEAK ON IT. OBVIOUSLY YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR GLASS JAR AND MOVED TO SAN DIEGO. THIS IS THE MOST DIVERSE CITY IN THE WORLD. THE LOWRIDER COMMUNITY IS STRONG HERE, AND ITS A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY. WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO, JUST LIKE THE HOTROD BUILDERS.
*ON A SIDE NOTE* I HAVE A DAUGHTER TOO, AND IF THATS THE WAY YOU RAISE YOUR DAUGHTER TO JUDGE PEOPLE ON THE TYPE OF CAR THEY DRIVE OR THE SOCIAL CLASS THAT THEIR IN, THEN GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY.*END OF SIDE NOTE*
Actually SSCCSD, San Diego is definitely not the most diverse city in the world… San Francisco/the Bay Area, and Toronto, hold these titles… Nice try though. Annnnd I have to agree with the author on this one, he didn’t say anything about the driver of the car and I don’t think too many people no matter what culture they are involved in would think that statutory rape is something to be cracking jokes about, which is exactly what the owner of this vehicle is doing. It’s in very poor taste, and only makes him look ignorant.
My fiancé and I were driving around La Jolla and saw the sparkly purple two-story jalopy headed our way, and could not believe our eyes. It was like ghetto visits wealthy white land.
