tenderloin life

my life has changed a bit since i've moved to the tenderloin from hayes valley. although only 1 mile apart in downtown SF, they are worlds apart.

1. rent is $200-300 cheaper.
2. less douchebags, more junkies, hookers, trannys.
3. heightened awareness of urine and feces on the sidewalk.
4. decreased sympathy/compassion for less fortunate folks.
5. why do people wear flip flops in san francisco? its fucking filthy out there!
6. drinking more, sleeping less.
7. gentrification is an interesting process. but not unwelcomed.
8. so much good food over here. so much.
9. spending more time with good friends, but less personal time.

i think its a good fit.

2 overheard conversations

1) "so she slept in your bed and nothing happened? you guys didn't do anything?!"

"well, i touched her ass a little, but she was asleep so that doesn't count!"


2) (at work) "whats up with all these greasy fingerprints? this bike looks like it was worked on by a family of italians!"
