Suburban Survival Guide

Wednesday, December 07, 2005

Its my town, it could just as well be anyone else's. They are all the same, same wal-mart and walgreens, same cookie cutter housing districts with one tree for each yard, a tree that will never make it to maturity. Thats the point though isn't it? Each district is exactly the same as the last and everyone can have an equal standing, and the developers can go and make another neighborhood, another town and name the streets with obscure references to their friends and family. It didn't matter anyway what the towns name is, because it was my town. At 5'11 and 120 lbs, i was fucking invincible and these were my streets. This demented experiment i call suburbia starts when your about 10, when you realize that despite what has been ingrained in you since kindergarden, you are not all the same. Some people are smarter, some people are prettier, some people are just fearless. Then as you start to uncover these differences amongst yourself, like tribes, we divide ourselves up into the groups we know we belong in...And that is where it all starts because immediatly after that, you get bored.

Thats the thing about suburbia, everyone is bored out of their skull, so we find ways to get past the boredem.
