And it happens once more

Well I'm home and already not liking it. What else is new right? Summers kinda suck anymore. I remember when I was younger I couldn't wait until school got out for the summer. Now I'm in college and I dread summer more than any exam. This year may actually be worse in some respects. What's different? For starters people. A number of my friends back here won't be home this summer. They chose to stay at school (whatever that school may be). So pretty much the ones that are left are the few that commute to local schools. We also get out a lot sooner than a lot of colleges. So I sometimes have almost a month till others start to come home. I guess it's kind of a double edged sword though. Had I stayed in the 'burgh this summer it wouldn't have been much different than it is here (except for things like faster internet and lots of things to do a lot closer). Most of the people that helped to make this past year so much fun won't be there. I'd probably be lonely out there as well. Summer only seems to have 1 solution: Work. You have to get yourself as wrapped up in work as you can to occupy all your time. If all your time is devoted to work there won't be a lot left over to be bored. Also that lesser amount of free time makes it easier to make due with having less people around and not as much to do. Guess I'll see how that approach works for me. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get the opportunity to take a road trip or 2 this summer. That would be nice. Who knows, just have to go with it I guess.

Alright, on to other important matters. I'm going to take a minute to do some complaining for a friend of mine, that way he doesn't have to post anything that might get him in trouble down the line (don't worry buddy, I got your back). Someone should really explain to me why women are so retarded. They almost always go for (and stay with) the jerk. Do they like being made to feel like crap? Is it a challenge to see if they can get him to change? I don't see the logic. More often than not they have another guy (who would definitely be worth the time I might add) waiting around for them to ditch the loser. But they don't. They might lead you to believe that it'll happen sooner than later and that it's been a long time coming... but guess what, it doesn't. Ladies, why is that? It happens all the time. I've been in the same position a few times myself but always the same result: Asshole gets girl in the end. There needs to be a scientific study done to prove my point. Yes, every so often you will come across a girl who actually has a b/f that cares about her and treats her properly but it seems rather rare anymore. I'd be willing to bet that for every one of those you found there'd be 10 of the lousy kind. The only ones winning are the assholes. The decent guys and the girls are both losing out. Seems like that would be a good enough reason for me. Let's do the math shall we? 1 unhappy girl + 1 nice guy finishing last = 2 unhappy people and a jerk that's probably getting everything he wants OR 1 nice guy + intelligent girl = happy couple and lonely loser undeserving of what he had. I don't know about you guys but I think the second one sounds like the winner to me. Everyone gets what they deserve. I've been told by quite a few girls that they all have a "bad boy phase" and just need to get hurt before they realize that they have better choices. I must be dumb because that doesn't seem like a very good plan. To make it worse, we usually still sit around and wait for that girl to come around and it just makes us even more unhappy. I can sympathize 100%. It sucks. I think they should teach a mandatory "asshole awareness" class to all women as soon as they hit puberty. Maybe then we could finally start to solve some of these problems.

How long will it take? Like they say in the Tootsie Pop commercials... "The world may never know."
