let
the metamorphisis begin
Alright so I'm a burgeoning yuppie. I'm 27. I live in the
Belltown neighborhood of Seattle , WA. I'm surrounded by engineers, crack whores,
hookers, pimps thieves and a bunch of other yuppies. I don't know which group
is worst. Most of them of course are just reacting to the situations that
they have allowed themselves to drift into. I've spent most of my life
rebelling against my station. Now for the first time I plan to embrace it.
First Step was buying a brand new jeep wrangler, you can see it pictured
to your right. It has a leather wrapped steering wheel simply because I try
to kill as many cows as possible and I could afford it. This is the
pre-yuppie spot. I'm right next to a dumpster. no more of that please.

this crappy
web page.
I own other web space. it's far better
designed. I keep trying to do stuff with it but it all fizzles out. The
problem being partially that I'm not anonymous in that other space. Here I am
so I hope to be honest about stuff and at least be more interested in writing
cause I can say the stuff I tell no one else. Needless to say I don't want ot
pay until I'm sure I'll keep up with it. I also don't want ot waste the
design time. Mainly I'm doing it right now cause I don't feel like packing. As you can see I’ve begun to
upgrade this a little here.

losing your soul is communist
propaganda
That's what I've decided anyhow. Its really an excuse to
drive people away from performing. I don't know if there's a big conspiracy
behind this or not.
I have an ex who is an avowed
socialist who works at starbucks(she doesn't think this is as funny as I do)
and she'd always ask,while staring through narrowed eyes, "Why would you
say that?" whenever I said something like this. I don't know how deep
her connections run with the other commies, but I think I'm on to something.

enter the cocoon
In embracing yuppiehood, I have leased a new apartment. I'll
put up some pictures when we move in. for now you can check out the building. I think we are
hitting sufficient orders of yuppie magnitude with this. The building is a
highrise made from steel and concrete. We'll be on the Southwest corner on
the 22nd floor, my bedroom has all of downtown Seattle at rest outside. From
the living room we can watch the whole of the puget sound. My roommate's
bedroom also looks out on the sound. the walls are conrete so the surround
sound I'm putting in my bedroom shouldn't disturb anyone too much. That's
right 5.1 in my freakin bedroom. we've got it ready for the living room too.
Suck on that, hippies.
im going ee cummings
with these headlines
So I've been living in the city and trying to maintain some
sense of purity. I've been fighting for no particularly good reason against
my own success. I've been making a fairly good deal of money for some time
now. Which would allow me to live a finer life and I've been rejecting that.
I've come to the rather facile conclusion that if material goods shouldn't
increase your status they shouldn't decrease it either. I can therefore enjoy
what I will.

the pre-yuppie
horror
As this picture demonstrates, I have been living well below
my means for sometime. Strangely I still managed to blow a lot of money and
get into a lot of debt.
I'm out of the debt now, and ready
to ratchet things up. So my plan is simple. I've got a kick ass apartment on
the way. I'm moving in with a neat freak, which will help me tidy up my own
habits, and I'm beginning with the simple things, for instance I bought a
46" television yesterday.
