so i've bitched and moaned about columbia on numerous occasions and while it definitely isn't the cosmoplitan capital of the world it's not a completely unfortunate or wretched place to live. it could use vast improvements but nonetheless, i've taken up residence here so i should appreciate it for what it does have to offer, (however little that may be).
i was driving down broadway the other day (columbia's major thoroughfare that runs east and west), when i hit the freshly grated pavement. ahhh...the city has decided to re-pave the street! hee-fucking-haw!! not fucking really. they're investing all this money to resurface the street while ignoring the fact that they should be widening it?! what a bunch of bullshit.
yeahyeahyeah. you friggin' ignorant bastards with your big yards and you tree-hugging hippies who cannot fathom the thought of the necessity of these beautiful blessings being cut down. i understand the dilemma. i do. i really do. i think it's a shame that the widening of broadway would require the loss of these landmarks. but as a city who touts itself on being so forward thinking while having breached the one-hundred thousand population status, sometimes there are evils in life and in economic progress that are indeed simply necessary. i love big yards and big trees...i grew up on a farm and so i understand both the aesthetic and re-sale value that both offer. but i also drive a fucking car and don't care to sit in unnecessary traffic because of someone's gotdamn yard or trees in their yards.
for fuck sake...get over yourselves. get over the politics. get over the bullshit. and widen the gotdamn fucking street. and quit wasting my tax dollars on some unnecessary bullshit resurfacing, and think about how if the desire is to truly present to the world that columbia is so progressive and the goal is to continue to grow and move forward universally and economically than the result is simply going to have to be residents' yards diminishing and trees being cut down. NECESSARY EVIL. fucking widen the gotdamn street to four lanes already and get over yourselves you fuckers. and by the way, it really should be six lanes so four isn't fucking half bad.
and p.s.! while you're at it...fucking regulate the street lights properly so that they run effectively and create smooth flowing traffic. 100k people. two lane MAJOR thoroughfares, and traffic lights that are ass fucking backwards. gotdamn engineers. what fucking school did you all go to anyway? geezusFUCK.
i guess this is what they call "small town" politics except that it isn't fucking small anymore. (toto...we're not in kansas anymore so quit acting like it). i'd like to go around knocking on people's fucking heads' to see if they're just hollow or if what really needs to happen is that these people need to read the rest of my blogs and learn how to grow a pair. bullshit. it's total bullshit. it's bullshit with a capital FUCKING "B"!
and now that i have that rant out of my system i can drink my beer and go to bed!
p.s. it's kansas city beer where they have streets with the proper number of lanes to accomodate the population and streetlights that are coordinated properly. so why don't you just put that in your pipe and smoke it?!
