Cleveland does NOT Rock!!

8/2/2006
I've been living here roughly over 2 years, and I have yet to find a good job! I'm educated, professional, hardworking and I get along with people easily... yet because I didnt go to Case Western or Cleveland Institute of Art, I must not know squat (nevermind I went to an awesome art school in NY... the state I originate from!) At first... this town seemed cool... cheap housing, lots of free activities, the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame... however, that appeal only lent itself so far! There aren't any jobs, the crime rate is high, the majority of people seem uneducated, and my biggest beef is the piss-poor attitudes of people in this city. Everyone bitches about how bad they have it, yet the only thing they do to remedy their situation is to crack open a Pabst Blue Ribbon Double Deuce, and cry in it! At first I thought this town was 'laid back'... I was wrong... it's not laid-back, its just LAZY! Trying to make a friend in this town is near impossible, since no one can get off of their dead-ass to make plans or actually pick up a phone to call you, yet they all bitch that everyone knows everyone, and they all went to school together. However when a newcomer comes along, they get all cliquey, and act like their turf is the toughest and coolest turf on earth!They all think the grass in greener someplace else... well maybe it could be if they weren't pissing all over their lawns and gene pools! And what the hell is up with the fat and out of shape shirtless men, EVERYWHERE! No one wants to see how many ribs you can eat or much PBR you've consumed... put it away!! I've also seen these t-shirts around town "Cleveland... You Gotta be Tough!" Give me a break!(start at the neck!) Why, because there are so many barfights in this town from all the drunken slobs?
Oh and I noticed a big difference between the East and West side... downtown is in the centre (which looks like a ghost town after 6pm... you can pretend your last human on earth, with the exception of the beggars and vagrants). The west-side claims to be 'nicer and laid back' and the east side is apparently more 'cosmopolitan'. Let me rephrase this: west-side=lazy white blue collar slobs who are racist, and suburban ... east-side: more culture, but snobbier, oh and they at least allow the minorities live there, but in segregated ghettos... oh how nice of them! Both sides of town are pretty sucky, but the eastside at least has some good museums, however the eastside gets dumped with snow. Either way, this
