You know those stickers–you’ve seen them on the back of people’s cars and trucks. “In Memoriam” and “In Loving Memory” and “In Memory Of” and then maybe some dates and a name. I hate those things. And I’m seeing them everywhere now.<\/p>\n
Really? A fucking sticker on the back of your hoop-dy is how you choose to honor your loved ones? I think it’s just… tacky, I think is the word. Yes, tacky.<\/p>\n
Almost every person that sees your car has no idea who you are, let alone the name you are memorializing. When I see those stickers I think, “So? Who the fuck is that? I don’t know that person. Why should I care?”<\/p>\n
But mostly, I think it says something about our car-culture in California–and that annoys me. People think so highly of their own vehicles–it’s such a big part of who they are. So their truck is naturally the best place to put their “In Loving Memory” sticker. I love my car, and I loved my friend, so therefore he gets a sticker on my car. <\/p>\n
Makes perfect sense, I suppose. Or maybe I’m wrong. In that case, maybe you could explain it to me?<\/p>\n
I still think it’s fucking stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
