For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

This city is like a mood ring.

You know, I have recently been thinking about how much I really do like this city, when not that long ago, I really hated it. Right now, I think this place is beautiful, and not long ago at all I was getting hysterical over a bridge being green and going on at length about how ugly I thought this city was.

Here's an example. Today I went to the grocery store after dinner because I was feeling too upbeat and happy to stay at home. Walking outside, I drew in a deep breath, enjoying the bitter cold, damp air which carried the delicate scent of rehydrated tears and broken dreams. Thanks to the weird weather for this time of year, there was quite a bit of low floating cloud bank, which made for an interesting panorama on the mountains, and it was really beautiful to me. There's quite a bit of plant life still growing, which makes the scenery even prettier.

I suppose that it really depends on yourself, and how you feel, when it comes to how you feel about this city, and everything about it. Maybe your feelings about this horrible, wonderful city are an indicator of how you're feeling about everyday life. Maybe it's just me, and I can't really decide how I feel. But right now I am enjoying myself as much as I can here. That's what really matters, right?

Let's go down to 12th and Irvington this weekend.  Then tell me it's all my bad attitude.

Oh, I know that anything related to the people in this town is going to be horrible. But I can, at the moment, take things in stride, and not living in South Tucson helps this.

You don't have to go to South Tucson, Freeky.  Sometimes it comes to you.

It does indeed. It's impossible to keep it all away.

Sometimes its nice to know that its not all bad all the time forever and ever, though. Even if the good is a very vague idea that has no real impact on anything.

The rain helps some, too. Keeps the coyote poomp on the ground instead of in the air!  :lol:

Manabu

don't do it, omnibus. its a fucking trap!

YOUR SHIELDS CAN'T REPEL ANNOYANCE OF THIS MAGNITUDE!



though, at least we have visible lines on our roads (I AM LOOKING AT YOU, LAS FUCKING VEGAS) and we know how to (somewhat) drive in our own lanes (FUCK YOU UTAH) and our weather doesn't give you freak snowstorms in spring (THATS RIGHT, COLORADO. IT IS FUCKING SPRING YOU DIPSHIT) and if you get bored you can just walk a few hundred feet and beat the shit out of a hobo while he thanks you for the dollar you paid him to do so


but i must say... i liked the random rainstorm yesterday. my car almost looks clean now...

...the blood on the bumper was starting to attract attention

I feel like I need it to cleanse me of Tempe and Phoenix.

of tempe, easy. of phoenix, impossible. you will always reek of failed relationships, overpriced gasoline, ghetto-esque housing designs, and single mothers trying to make it big as strippers...

Hot damn, it smells just like Portland! Only minus the soul.

I think one thing to remember when the city starts really getting unbearable is that hey, I could be living in Phoenix.

So that's one thing that is unquestionably good about Tucson; It Is Not Phoenix.
