Sometimes, you just gotta say “fuck it.” Other times, “fuck you.”

I’m pissed off. Pissed off at the urine-smelling-car-honking-bus-polluted-panhandling-sexual-criminal-on-the-loose-overpriced-everything city. FUCK the city.

When I moved downtown just over two years ago, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And it was. And in some ways, on a good day, it still can be. But lately, I seem to have a lot of angst because of it.

I can never get anywhere without fighting with people to get on the bus or the el or the Metra. And I’m tired of living my life around the god damned Cubs night game schedule.

I’ve had it with waiting in line for 20 minutes at the Jewel to buy an US Weekly, a six pack, and some Kraft Handi-Snacks. I hate that the dumb razors are at the camera counter and that I recently had to call for a Walgreen’s employee NO LESS THAN THREE TIMES to come unlock their case so I could get an embarassing female item from it.

I’m just plain sick of waiting for a bus that never comes, of never being able to have any of my packages sent to my home address, of having to commute over an hour to a job I detest, of never knowing my neighbors, of getting yelled at by my local bum for not giving him a dollar, of getting my wallet stolen and then my identity (there’s a story), and of watching every single day how many ways people can be plain old mean to each other.

In two years, Chicago has tried to chew me up and spit me out on a number of occasions. And it never did. And it isn’t now. But I’ve about had it, so I’m just going to say, “FUCK YOU CHICAGO! YOU SUCK!”

Okay, I’m done now.
