Damn Yuppies...

So, I was in Yaletown today, just catching up with an old friend (and some of her friends) at the Cactus Club.

First off, I didn't even know there was a Cactus Club there. Second, I didn't have a clue that I was on Hamilton at the time. I thought I was going down an alley.

Anyway, after we got out, I looked around, and I totally see the whole yuppie-ness, and it was gross. All the girls were sorta semi-dressed up (likely spent 2 hours to look like it only took 15 minutes), and all the guys looked pretty much the same: dress shirt with either a sweater or nice jacket over it, and jeans/khakis (I'll admit to dressing like that at times) But worst of all was the way they walked. The damn swagger, thinking they're something. It just felt... Soooo pretentious.

That's when I look back on my on "young urban professional" days, and tried to remember whether it was like that... Well, I guess it was, sorta, with a couple of distinctions:

• There were a lot more South Asians (or "brown"), since most of my friends were as such;
• There were a lot more guys, period (unfortunately), and not enough girls.

Yes, the latter was definitely the most noticeable. At least in Yaletown, they looked good...
