it was strange. still is. the feelig of rit. it made me feel like.. i felt when i was little. the weather was so familiar. everything was. moist cold. i love it. real cold. that will make real snow. binghamton has none of that. i could make huge forts and shit out of the snow we used to get. tunnels that were strong, but cold to crawl thru. rit had that kind of cold. here. it;s a dry cold. a bitchy one. with 1 inch "snow" giving us delays. it's just so... wrong here. so undesireable and uninspired. north, they have real winters. real people. who will do real things. binghamton has people who get by. "well i guess i'll do this b/c it;s here." we don;t do much of anything. everything we do do is half assed. well no. that is not completely true. there are a few exceptions. very few. i, myself, am not one of the exceptions. i do everything up to what is expected. i could do more. but i don;t bother to. there is no point to it here. gep says that no one will work up to their potential in eveything: it would kill them. but what is you wanted to try to? try to do everything that you could, the best that you could, and never be happy with it being below what you know you could possibly do? it would be overwhelming. you can;t be good at everything. but can u try to be ur best at everything that you know you can do? everyone can do a lot of things if they actaully try. but no one here tries. even mother nature says: "fuck it. binghamton has fucked me over with their ibm and factory shit, why should i even bother to give them seasons. i'll put all my time and effort into some places' snow, but fuck binghamton. they can have the shitty, fake stuff that i just spit at them. i could give them icicles the whole length of there houses, like i do for other places. but nah, why bother??" then again i don;t know if rochestor has fucked her over with pollution like we have, so i guess that last statement only kind of works. (wow look! emma has once again put shitty effort into something, and this rant is therefore below average and not even worth your time. sorry to those of you who actually use your time efficiently. to the rest of you, congrats, this might have actually counted as "being productive" for you.) back to the actual subject of this before the rant. i really like rit. i could see myself going there. it feels like home. something i haven;t felt in a long time.
