City of Self

Let me start by saying I can't spell, no matter how man times I proof reade this blog it will cotain a million words in need of a spell check, but hey I'm not perfect and I'm not trying to be.


I moved to Chicago a lilttle over a year ago from Detroit (please I know you're thinking bad thoughts but can you save it, if you've never been there and you let the news dictate how you feel about my city...well...you can kiss my ass) ok so back to the matter at hand. I came to Chicago to finish college (expensive ass Columbia) and although I had no friends or family here I figured I'd eventually meet some people and all would be well. That wasn't the case. I've met 2 people and I've been here for yes...a little over a year. So I've come to the conclusion that I must be some spooky, creepy, awful smelling, weirdly shaped humanoid of a person because people treat me as a walking plague. I smile at people when I walk buy them, I start up friendly converstations in stores etc... but I guess that's just too weird for people. I'm not afraid to look awkward (boy remembering those teenage years brings tears to my eyes) so meeting people shouldn't be hard for me. Hell I'd start up a convo in the damn restroom for crying out loud and yes that may be a little weird but you never know how much you have in common with someone until you say "Hello" "Howdy" "Hi" "Hola" "Waz up" etc... but people here seemed to be more concerned with themselves. I guess that's not a bad thing but when you're in such a hurry, or when you feel that you're to good to speak to your fellow neighbor that just doesn't seem right to me, but then again there is that humanoid thingy factor when it comes to me.

I've also had no luck with men either. Ok so I met somebody off of myspace, sue me! He was great, weird like me. Our converstations were just the way I like them "beyond out of the ordinary" We hit it off....until well I'll save that for later.

All I'm saying (sorry for ranting, I'm full of blog) is what's wrong with saying hi, starting a conversation, slowing down a bit in our hectic lives to just say hey, or to have a little friendly conversation. After all life is way to short to move so fast, we live fast and then want death to come to us slow. If you see some weird bird like person, it's probably me, don't be afraid to say hi, I don't bite non less you're holding a cookie or something ;-)
