Gainesville ROCKS.

I just got finished driving around G-Ville aimlessly....what an enlightening experience! How can people think that looking like exact carbon copies of each other makes them MORE attractive? It makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Here I am driving downtown and a troop of 6 guys, each wearing distressed jeans, red striped or blue striped button-down shirts, and dress shoes crosses the street right in front of me. I had to veer to avoid hitting them. I just don't understand how they expect to stand out when they look like mirror images of each other.

Everyone in this town, including myself, looks the same. It is a huge epidemic in today's society. Stores like American Eagle and Abercrombie have made it nearly impossible to stand out, so the ones who strive for noncomformity are forced to go to stores like Hot Topic, where, inevitably, they are forced to conform to a different standard. It is a huge shame that everyone looks the same and, more importantly, that noone is even remotely concerned about it.

The ladies aren't exempt either: I understand that the short frilly mini-skirts and halter tops are attractive, but when every one of you wears one, you blend into a sea of half-assed actractiveness that looses all character and interest whatsoever. Why dress up when all you are going to do is get wasted, drunk, sweaty, and uncomfortable anyway? You might as well wear comfortable clothing if the guy you are eventually going to hook up with will be completely intoxicated to the point where you could be as "hot" as a fire hydrant and he would still bang you. I mean, come on. Who are you trying to impress? Whatever.

As much as I hate siting here alone in my dorm, the club scene here seems entirely pointless. I wish that mature people could just go to a nice bar and socially drink and talk without all this sexual inuendo, loud music, crowdedness, and discomfort. Mature, but not boring, I beg to clarify. And I'm not saying that people shouldnt dress up, I just wish that it wasnt so cookie-cutter. I also am not saying that people shouldn't have fun, because I do understand the desire to let all cares go, fuck, I need that right now myself. It just seems a non-interesting or fun means of accomplishing that. But whatever. I guess I am somewhat alone in this thought process. Maybe after a few years here I will find some people that thnk the same as I do. Who knows. Right now, being a Beaty Towers freshman, it's nearly impossible to find "normalcy" that isn't in the form of drunken, coked up, frat guys and sorority chicks. An over-generalization? Sure. But right now I am lonely enough to be irrational.

Sorry to anyone I may have offended in this post. Goodnight....
