Ohio Vs. Chicago

Current mood: Since moving to Chicago, I have noticed many differences between the friends I have made here and the friends I have made in the past. Some differences are subtle and some are drastically, well…different. Most differences can be attributed to environment or upbringing and are easily explainable, but there is one difference that I can’t seem to bring myself to understand; most friends I have made in Chicago like the show Sportsnight and friends from Ohio think it is the absolute worst piece of garbage ever to plague fiber-optic cables. Now, maybe I’m missing something here and I could be wrong, but I agree with the good people of the buckeye state. Sportsnight totally sucks. It’s not funny. The setting totally sucks and Josh Charles (aka Dan Rydell) will always just be the kid who works at Clown Dog in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. Now, I really like to think of myself as somebody who appreciates television and I tried to like this show back when it went into syndication on comedy central but I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t like the characters. Therefore, I didn’t give a damn if Natalie and Jeremy were going to date at work and I totally didn’t give a shit if Dana and whatever that other dude’s name was were gonna hook up. I just wanted them to all get eaten by aliens or something. Alas, that never happened. Maybe it was in an episode that I never got to see, but I doubt it. Don’t get me wrong Chicago friends. I still love you but I won’t love Sportsnight. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, I am sorry.

Pearls before swine, evidently.
