Fuck You Louisville

(This hate-filled diatribe does not include the nice people I have recently met, but they were going to a bar I refuse to enter due to the fact my self-esteem can not handle being the oldest woman in a bar and my personality can not take the insipidness of the crowd.)

I am beginning to believe that I have committed some wrong so heinous that God and Satan got together and decided that my punishment should begin on earth. That punishment was that I was live to in the worst fucking city on the planet. A place so void of excitement that I find myself dreaming of living in 10 x 12 shack in the artic. I have even considered a job in Idaho.

Everyone I meet here drinks a lot and I know why. When drunk Louisville seems to merely suck, as opposed to the community of torture that it truly is. People pretend to be nice, but they aren’t. They are cliquey and vicious.

Even the men who chat me up in hopes that I will fuck them can’t make themselves interesting. I am not impressed that you once stood next to Rick Pitino at a urinal. Can anyone in this armpit have a conversation that does not involve basketball? Tell me about the time you accidentally killed a stripper. Have you ever been in a Mexican Prison? I’m allergic to nature. I don’t give a fuck about your garden. Maybe if you grow poppies? Describing the size of your television only makes me think you are stupid or worse think I am stupid. I don’t fuck stupid men. Christ, after tonight, I’d even find a conversation about your car interesting.

A little warning: I hate married men. The next married man who tries to buy me a drink, I will kill. Slowly. At least prison would not be so fucking dull.

I am tired of trying to fit into your hateful city. It has been 3 years. It is obvious, I don’t fit in. You don’t want me here, so I am leaving.

Satan himself could not have good time in this city.

So I take it you're not going to run for Mayor?

Please there are 2 prisons you never want to go to that I have been.

Tijuana(sp) during Spring Break in Mexico and the Russian prison in Siberia-talk about crappy conditions. The one place you want to be locked up 24/7 and not forced to go outside and do manual labor.

While Louisville is not the worst city on earth, try some other towns in Kentucky, it is certainly not the best. I mean honestly there is very little to do here except go to bars and watch basketball, the one redeeming event is bar trivia. However, the most noteworthy complaint is the lack of anonymity. One runs into the same people at the same bars on the same street every weekend. Something new is rather difficult to come by. I am not saying Louisville is as ardently horrible as a satanic punishment, but you can only heed the same routine for so long.

I have a very good friend from Louisville and I have never quite understood why he is such a drinker--your rant cleared it all up for me.

Almost everyone in Louisville is a drinker and I am really not sure why. Even someone who is a lightweight here can go to the next closest major US and be drinking champion. I have friends from NYC, LA, Chicago, STL, Miami, Nashville, etc who can't believe the amount of alcohol people from Louisville can consume.

I agree with Church, it is not always easy to meet new people in Louisville, but Church you go to the same bars 24/7-so how can you meet new people. Now if you went over to TK's or Coyote's you would meet different people. I meet new people through different friends, you can't know a million people, but like I said on my site, Louisville is a place of habit.
