Downtown Los Angeles played host again to the annual “Hope for FireFighters” event yesterday. Once a year Firemen and Women invade the business district in downtown L.A and throw a huge block party. The goal here is to raise money for the widows and orphans of Firemen who lost their lives in the line of duty (as well as disabled Firemen who were hurt in the line of duty).

Three months into 2008 and I’m already behind. Wow that was fast. At least one of the things I can be glad about is the fact that I’m not emo and not in Mexico. With the crazy amount of Anti-Emo rioting going on I’m scared for a few of my friends going down there – even if it is just to Tijuana.

I guess it’s not as bad as that poor Goth girl getting beaten to death by 2 guys simply because she was Goth. Wow, I think it was a lot saner when kids were killing each other over gang affiliations, but now simply out of social groupings I think we’re beginning to have issues here. I can only expect the hipsters to get involved into the fight soon. They’ll hit you with their 6 dollar coffee’s – not that there’s anything wrong with a six dollar cup of coffee (I love coffee).

And as I go back to my 3 dollar Americano, I leave you with this thought – hug a goth person today, it’ll probably brighten up their lives, who knows, maybe they’ll switch to being Emo instead of Goth.
