Small Town Blues

So let me just start today by saying that i don't understand it. I don't know why anyone would ever choose to live in a small town. there is nothing convenient about living in a small town. There are not suitable shopping locations, gyms, restaurants, theaters, attractions, etc. For example:
Shopping: My phone broke yesterday and I called my friend Justin who works for Verizon, and come to find out(not to my surprise)there isn't a Verizon store for over 40 miles. WTF.
Gyms: So maybe i got spoiled at my last gym...they had classes all day long, tanning beds, a smoothie store, a cardio movie theater, lots of weight machines, all their cardio equipment had its very own personal flat screen TV so you can watch whatever you chose, and a really nice locker room. this new gym's equipment looks like it came from 1922. all the machines have pads and cushions missing. some of the parts are rusted. there are only 2 TVs in the cardio room. the tanning bed area's are self serve meaning you have to sanitize it yourself. oh and there aren't any lights in the tanning rooms. you have to turn on the bed to see. they only offer two cardio classes a day, and you never know what they are going to be. you just show up and see what the instructor decided to teach that day. Best part... so i took a step class there and went to get my step and it was homemade out of 2x4's and plywood. shut up i know right! I'm over it.
Restaurants: We got a red lobster, golden Corale, Sonny's, zaxby's, arbys, McDonald's, taco bell, subway, Krystal's, loco's and Moe's. that's it. there isn't anywhere nice to eat here. Fast food for days. that's why every one here is fat!
Theaters: there is a carmike cinema 6 (6 screens that's it ) No live theaters to report.
Attractions:Sometimes they have a tractor pull..what the hell am i gonna do there? Oh and there are high school football games. I think not!
-------almost forgot-----
On the way to work. I am frequently late because i get stopped by a train, or a tractor, or some old ass person driving slow, or (and here is my fav.)livestock in the road. i kid you not... i have been late twice because cows or horses were just chillin in the road.
And this is just the icing on the cake---then there are the people...these are some of the dumbest people i have ever seen. they are so redneck and country all they want to do is...well i don't know what they want to do...In fact i never see them doing anything. i just don't understand having no future aspirations to get out of here. to do somewhere. to be something. it is just beyond me. I'm here do to a series of unfortunate circumstances, but be rest assured I'm looking for ways to rectify the situation as we speak.If i have offended anyone I'm sorry, but that is my rant for the day
