People here are so snobby.

I understand that you want to be proud of your city and the fact that you've never lived farther than a stones throw from where you grew up.. but people relocate.. get over it.

I hate the general mindset that the population is doomed for failure just because everyone wants to flock and grow roots here.

I hate that I can't stand football or UT and that makes me an outsider.

AND I HATE THAT THE GHETTOS HERE AREN'T GHETTO!

2nd update for the day

In other news.. our apartment management is spraying the entire complex for roaches tomorrow.

I don't have roaches. Although I do admire that the management is proactive rather than reactive.

I have to empty out all of my cupboards in the kitchen & bathroom.. that's really going to suck.

Not to mention the fact that my brother is flying in tomorrow and that's just 1 more thing on my super long list of 'to dos' before my fucking vacation!!!!!!!!

3rd update today

I hate that I can't be the glue that holds everything together.

There are so many different things going on w/ my family from Angie & Brian's drama.. to Calvins surgery.. Tomas being a lazy sack of shit.. My parents finances and I feel like my mom is falling away from church.

It's hard for me to be this far away.. and I'm constantly fighting with myself about the whole thing. I blame myself.

I can't be happy here until I put myself first, but I can't put myself first because I love my family so much that I'm willing to give everything I have to make their lives better. I've accomplished so much here and I'm willing to give it all up the second one of them says they need me.

meh. it's not that I think the population is doomed to failure because people want to flock here and grow roots, it's that the people flocking here tend to be either jerks, idiots, bad drivers, litterbugs, egotistical, frantic, unfriendly, or any combination of the afore mentioned. I was born here, and I did grow up in the same house I've lived in for nigh 25 years, but the difference is, I adapt to the other places that I go. I put myself in that particular place at that particular time and I don't try to change it to what I'm used to. I get used to being in a new place with new customs. People moving here are bringing their comfort zone with them rather than adapting to what makes Austin Austin. That's my problem with it. When I was growing up Austin always had this reputation of being eco-friendly, well-read, tech savvy, politically savvy, culture rich, and groovy. With each year that passes, as more and more people come in from outside, it gets less like Austin. They're closing places like Las Manitas, the Backroom, and Liberty Lunch. They're ploping a Walmart down on southpark meadows. Each person is adding another car to the roads. I don't mind if they visit, but I'm really getting tired of people moving here. oh well.
