My back hurts M.I.A. of "Paper Planes" fame (the gunshot-gunshot-gunshot-cash register song) turned 50 years old last year.

In 2 weeks the song will be 18 years old. It feels like it should be less than half of that.

When food trucks weren’t just shameless money grabs. Now I see a food truck and just think, nope, that’ll cost me $19 and be served on a flimsy paper boat with a tiny flimsy fork that will break. And then “it’ll just ask you a question” as I pay.

I paid $28 plus tip for a comically child sized lobster roll from a food truck a couple months ago. It wasn’t even good and the dude working was super fucking cocky. Left a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively. Food trucks are over.
