Right now, Im drinking a glass (well, third glass actually) of some REALLY GOOOOOOOD cabernet that was given to me for fathers day and going through the 1200 unread e-mails that I have while also going back and forth on both CD and Facebook to catch up on all the peeps and their doings.
Last night, my waitress had a Hammer and Sickle tattooed on the back of her neck. First of all, I am not really big on tattoos....mostly if they are just on there because somebody thinks it looks cool.
So I asked her, "Why do you have a Hammer and Sickle tattoo?"
"Because I am Soviet!"
I asked her if she was Russian, and she insisted she was "Soviet." This was unacceptable. I informed her you simply cannot be the nationality of a country that does not even exist. I asked her if I could be from Mystery Meat Island, and she responded that if that is where I wanted to be from I could be. I informed her that Nationality was not really something made up. I was getting frustrated.
I asked the bartender how old she was. She was 19! What? Do the math. The Soviet Union was not even a country anymore when she was born!!
I had not been this upset with a "Soviet" since Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed.
I think if I would have asked her about Friedrich Engles, she would have just brought me a German beer.
I just could never believe that somebody of Russian, or from that area, heritage would put a Hammer and Sickle on their body.
That has to INCREDIBLY degrading to this girl's grandparents. The Soviet Union was an incredibly brutal dictatorship. Stallin, liquidated 20 million of his won peasants, alone.
She has the freedom of expression here. I just find it ironic, that if in 1960, in Moscow, if she wore an American Flag tattoo, she'd wish that that Hammer and Sickle never existed.
It was just rich with ignorance and irony, which sadly is all too commonplace in Phoenix, anymore.

Ugh. I bet she was a KGB spy. I bet she slipped Communism Juice in my beer when I wasn't working.
I did use the term, "pigs oil their machines with the blood of the workers," this morning. Things are not looking good.
Why do you care about a waitress and her tatoo? I am suprised she didn't tell you it was none of your business. I guess she felt that she had to be nice because you were a customer. I think people should live and let live.

I'm under the impression that most people get tattoos, so that they can talk about why they got them. If she didn't want it to be seen, she could have easily just worked with her hair down, or in a pony tail. And it's not like I twisted her arm, she answered.
Why do you care that I care? It's none of your business what I care about. I think people should just let people ask questions if that is what they want to do.
