They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. In a nation where a movie star can share a pedestal with a president, the appeal of an American Dream is as strong as ever.
So, what is the American dream? There isn't one. Well...not only just one anyways. With the basic premise that Americas forefathers have paved the way for you to be anyone you want to be, is it of any surprise 80% of Americans would rather be doing something else?
On the haphazard but perplexingly entertaining downtowns streets of Hollywood Blvd, 4 reveling nightclubbers were shot while we slept only a few blocks away. I woke to these shots. Doubtless, a dream most want to avoid. That morning we caught a train to Anaheim, where the merchandising juggernaught of Disneyland awaited our sweaty and heaving wallets. With only 30kms between semi-automatic hand guns and Mickey Mouse, could these 2 realities be any more different?
How would American Forefathers feel about churro sticks, candied popcorn, and a glock. I can't imagine they ever dreamed about it. At least not in the same night.
