Is this the bitching forum? If not moderators please move me
Because I REALLY need to bitch. I am so sick to death of this bumblefuck town I live in and if I see ONE MORE COWBOY HAT I am going to shoot it off the poor dumb ass wearing it. And I'm not a good shot and I don't even own a gun so I'll just have to punch the guy and I'll end up with a broken nose.

Ok so yea, I'm out of the loop. It's Friday night and since I have fired all my previous friends I decided to go to this Karaoke club which is not too far from my house. And that is a good thing because I am not sure if my driver license is suspended or not - something called "Not stopping for an inoperable stop light". And for THAT I have to pay $113 and take a "You are a bad driver" course. And you can't pay the ticket on the phone because in this feeble minded town after you call the court clerk and press at LEAST 5 numbers you are told that "due to heavy call volume we cannot answer your call. Please call back at another time". WTF? I am trying to pay a traffic ticket for not stopping at a light that wasn't lit! So now I try to pay on the internet but the school I signed up for said not to pay it until you are done with the course because you "save" all sorts of money. They, (the course company) MAKE YOU STAY ON EACH PAGE for a certain amount of time so you put in your 4 hours doing the course. And they threaten that if you minimize the window and go somewhere else they are going to find out and since I have already managed to get myself a ticket for going through a stop light that wasn't there I don't' think I should push me luck. THUS I have not finished the course and consequently not paid the fine so I do not know if my license is suspended because it has been more than 30 days.

Is anyone following me here?

So I get to this Karaoke place and go inside and there is this disco light moving and smoke coming up from the floor and NO PEOPLE. Isn't this Friday night? There are NO PEOPLE. Except for some workers who tell me that there is a concert going on in downtown Fort Myers and, I mean you just can't get any bigger than that. Downtown Fort Myers is where it's all a happenin baby! But since am worried about my license and I don't like concerts anyway I leave.

But then I remember this place down a little south and I decide to drive to it. It had a very nice "lounge" type atmosphere and it at lease once was a very nice restaurant. So when I get there do you know what I saw? BINGO Seriously, I mean they now are a BINGO parlor or whatever you call it. BINGO!!!! This place was once surrounded by a beautiful moat with huge Koi fish swimming around it. Are the the fish now playing BINGO too? Is anyone FEEDING them or are they just throwing their little lucky troll dolls in the pond thinking that might make good fish food? Or maybe some redneck fried them up and called them catfish. It is making me sick!

Has the world really come to an end? Am I "Left Behind"? Is that notice on the TV saying "Not Authorized" really some message from beyond or is it really just me hitting the wrong channel and not bothering to shut it off?

NEVER and I mean NEVER spend your childhood and up until the age of 36 in NEW JERSEY and then move to a "nicer quieter place in the south where you can slow down and grow a garden". I am finally realizing that you can't take the Jersey out of the girl and every flower comes with 50,000 different bugs and all the sunshine in the world can't make up for the freak show that has become your life!

3. Small town life aint all it's cracked up to be
Take it from someone who grew up in one, then made the mistake of settling in one for 10 years after escaping to small cities for 9 years. Small towns are so boring.
