Ahhhhhh, Greensboro North Carolina. My home town. The city that has made me the man-child I am today. Can you smell that??? Go ahead and inhale deeply. That's the scent of southern hospitality. Oh, and that slightly sulfuric odor? That's just racism; you'll get used to it.
I had almost forgotten just how damn boring Greensboro is. And when you don't have a car to get around in... I'm surprised that the suicide rate in children under 16 isn't much, much higher. Or the homicide rate. God, I would kill for a set of wheels right now.
I guess you know your home town is kinda country when the big news from the past year is they've torn down a grocery store to make way for a strip mall... relax, the grocery store was replaced, after all, this isn't Philly. Folks round these parts like not having to get all their essential living supplies from a black plastic bag via the corner store. But still. Not a whole lot going on.
The movie theater where I had my first job has been turned into a Bounce University. Basically, they filled the space with inflatable games we used to rent when ever the housing staff wanted to have an outdoor event, except now you can do all that stuff indoors. Take THAT Mr. Raincloud! I mean, I know I would much rather pay gross amounts of money to enjoy jumping around on plastic devices than pay $2 to see a movie that's already been out for like 50 months, but maybe that's just me. Oh, wait, no. I was being sarcastic. Bounce U. God, I hope this thing doesn't last more than a year. And you owe me, God, after I killed that guy and you still failed to deliver me some wheels. Bastard.
Anyway, I watched Sky High with my sisters earlier today. I know what you're thinking. CORNY!!! And you're right. It's family fun time corny. Which as my good friend Martha says, "Is a good thing. A very good thing." So it's worth checking out. Sky High. Next up is V for Vendetta. Clearly, I have nothing better to talk about in my life right now. That's usually a good sign that I should stop talking.
Goodnight to all and to all a good night.
