Not a good week for ol' Duder's car
Window
So this is what I found on my way to work this morning. My window was punched out. There was nothing taken from the car, in fact, it doesn't seem that anyone even opened the car door or went in. On the positive side, my car was not used as a toilet, and nothing was taken from the car. This kind of thing has happened to me before, so I know where to go to get the window repaired. It was fixed within an hour, and for less than $40. I'm still left wondering why this happened.

Barfly:

I was thinking about a quote from the movie:

"Why did it have to be Eddie? He symbolizes everything that disgusts me. Obviousness. Unoriginal macho energy. Ladies Man..."
I like the protagonist's integrity. Sure, to the outside world he is nothing but a bum, and in almost every case, he does not care what you think of him. The protagonist still holds some people in a particular state of contempt, because their very being symbolize the antithesis of his personal beliefs. It seems that most people can't respect the integrity of a bum, but some people have done a lot of thinking, drinking and writing about this subject.
