Theres such a big emphasis on loving this town, that sometimes I think people forget to pause and question whether they really should; what makes them so special; what exactly is that amazing about this little community. Community as interpreted by and large round here means nothing to me, the forced commonality of our main street and the surrounding venues is a feeble excuse for money making and hypocrisy, the end result of outside influences and that perenial desire to not only belong, but to belong at the top of the strata. What ever makes you look cooler, what ever makes you more attractive, whatever makes you more fuckable, 'go for it'. Just be aware that some people are doing this because it has bound itself to their spine, to their mind, to their very essence, and so when you have gone, moved on to the next fad, we will still be here, and we will be glad you have gone.

You do not make this town,
This town makes you.
And I'm not sure where the blame lies,
But this all feels fucking doomed.
