Rantings

February 27, 2002


Perhaps I should've called this page 'The DeadRant', but I wanted to go with something simple.

Anyway, there's a lot of crap going on in the world right now... Let's check out a few things, shall we?

U.S. continues to bomb the living shit out of some country that I can't spell.
Does anybody really care anymore? Most people don't even remember 9-11... It's time to give up on this meaningless puppet show that Dubya continues to shove, without mercy, down our collective throat.

Enron goes bankrupt...
Does that mean the home of the Astros is now Bank Rupt Ballpark?
Thankfully, no... The Houston Astros have just signed a deal to get that goofy 'E' off the side of their pretty ballpark, just in time for its third season of play. *whew!* For a minute there, I thought professional sports teams were going to be mentioned alongside corporate criminals... Oh, wait...

K-Mart also goes down the toilet.
Good riddance! I submitted THREE employment applications to these bastards, last year.
You think they would give a genius like me a phone call? HELL NO! They continued to hire their regular regime of hookers and crack addicts... Maybe that's why they're fucking bankrupt??

In sports news, the Charlotte Hornets have applied to the NBA for permission to relocate to my beloved home city of New Orleans.
Now, here's a story I can sink my teeth into... Okay, maybe not literally... But I can sure enjoy it.
It will be nice to have not one but TWO major league sports teams in the Crescent City.
This move will put us in the same category as such wonderful cities as... Buffalo, San Diego, Oakland, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Baltimore... Hmmm, maybe this isn't such a status symbol, afterall...

Okay, enough with the current events, which won't be current by the time I update this page again, anyway...
Let's talk about ME...

Life has been pretty slow for the 'Chronically Depressed Wonder' lately. (Imagine that!)
I've been driving my car a little, here and there... I still don't have my license yet, but that should be remedied shortly.
I've managed to bury myself in the internet and the redecorating of my bedroom, lately.
In fact, what you're reading right now is a product of my buriage. (Is that a word?)

I've been entertaining the thought of going back to PA, lately...
It would be great to have a few friends again...
But, it seems like I can't have a complete roster of people in my life, no matter where I go.
If I'm here, I have my family, but no friends... If I'm there, I have friends but no family.
And, no matter where I am, I miss the section of people whom I am not with.

And, beyond people, I also miss places... As goofy as that may sound.
I have fond memories of walking the streets of New Kensington, PA... But, even fonder memories of walking through Hammond Square Mall..
And, I will always believe that the Palace Theater is the best place to see a movie, ANYWHERE!

I wish I could just move my friends here, as selfish as I'm sure that sounds...
I love my friends very much... But, I also love my home... And Louisiana will always be my home.
**sigh** I guess I just can't get anything right...

Now, on to my love life, or rather, the lack thereof...

For the first time in quite a while, I find myself with no one to even dream about being with.
Not that I'm not used to being alone... But, for the most part, I've always had someone I was hung up on... Some sort of love interest.
Now, there's nobody in my life who isn't either taken or completely disinterested...
It's frustrating... I know I have a codependency problem, but there really isn't much I can do about it except to actually be with someone...
When I'm single, I'm usually miserable... Which explains why I've been miserable most of my life.

Take this section of the rant as a cry for help.
If you know someone in the Florida Parishes region of Louisiana, tell them to give me a call...
It doesn't matter what sex this person is, but it is preferable that they dig guys. Thanks!

Anyway... I know it's against my religion (not to mention my personal code of conduct), but I've been considering getting drunk lately...
Far be it for me to be part of a trend, but it seems like everyone over the age of 14 is doing it, these days...
Many of whom have far fewer problems than myself! (Well, except for the fact that they're gonna be alcoholics by the age of 17...)
Still, I must admit that I am feeling a little weak-willed nowadays... It's like a rubber band can only be stretched so far, before it snaps, you know?

Anyway, we've reached the end of another less-than-exciting OuTsYdeR rant..... Yay...
If you've actually read this entire thing, you deserve an award!

P.S. I actually CAN spell Afghanistan... That was just a joke...
And a damn funny one, if I do say so myself!
