Being bored at work as I usually am, I have been thinking about a lot of things to occupy my time.
Rob and I went to go see Lewis Black last night at the Bass Hall. First off, if you don't know who Lewis Black is, go fuck yourself. Seriously. You all should know by now. So anyway, we went to Bass Hall to see him perform. It was an awesome show. No complaints there. My irk lies in the type of people we were witness to. I realize that this is a comedian known for his slightly psychotic, curse-laden rants. I know that the average Lewis Black fan does not always understand the details of his comedy, but usually gets the underlying humor. However, as surreal as the situation might be, it's still the Bass Hall. It's still a multi-million dollar, world-beating, technological marvel. Don't fucking show up in jeans and a t-shirt. Don't show up looking like you just came from a Motorhead concert. Don't valet park your 6,000 pound piece of shit F-250 so that you can prove just how much of an asshole everyone think you are. It ain't exactly the Moscow ballet, but for fuck's sake, show some class. Christ. Shit like that is why Fort Worth will never be taken seriously as a worldly city. Because of dumb assholes like that, we will always be looked upon as a bunch of redneck retards. It doesn't matter that we have a world class opera hall that's considered one of the best modern halls ever built. Nor the fact that our zoo has been ranked in the top 10 family-oriented zoos in the country. Don't forget that we also have two famous art museums; one being a masterwork for Louis Kahn, and the other being the oldest art gallery in the state of texas, also considered a defining work of its architect. All of this to go with being the fifth largest city in Texas, with over 700,000 people calling it home. All of that is overshadowed by the omnipresent idocracy that emanates and engulfs the entire region. Having a functionally retarded president from our state doesn't help much either. I've been to quite a few countries overseas, and almost half of our states. I have not encountered one soul in all my travels that knows what or where Fort Worth is. They get a good sense when I tell them it's next to Dallas. They get all "ahh, I see" and "oh, so that's where it is" like it's some mythical beast that disappears whenever they look at a map. It's a bit frustrating. In summary, I hate you all.

A-fuckin-MEN brother! Preach the gospel.
Ft worth is the only city I would feel unconcerned with walking around wearing only a belt and suspenders. Not to say that I would, that is.
