Sigh! Another Friday Night
Okay need to rant.... (yeah what else is new?)
It is Friday night and though I am taking the night off from MBA Marketing hoo-ha homework, I remain annoyed at a do-nothing Friday.
Single people do not have it easy. Single people of une certain age especially do not have it easy - in fact, it is downright pathetic.
When you're 20-something going to a bar might be okay, you probably have a pack of single friends to go out and party with even. But one by one they all marry off and you are stuck over 30, heck over 40, and going to a bar is not only an exercise in stupidity (not yours, the other people at the bar whom you no longer have the patience to tolerate) it is very, very sad. I don't care how good you look. You can even be one of those people who still get carded from time to time it is still sad.
But what other choices are there in rural America? None. Zero. Zippidity-doo-da nothing.
And then the SciFi Channel goes and cancels your favorite show. Yup. You are not only single in rural America... you're a single Geek in rural America. Yup and with a nearly full (it hit full on the 7th) moon up there even if the sky was clear as a bell there would be too much light to planet and/or star gaze. Oh yeah, it is sad... it is pathetic... it is life for the over-educated in the middle of nowhere.
