East v West

Writer's Note: the following rant was not written by me, but a friend who has received his mail on both the West and East side of 75N. He's a bit unstable. But aren't we all.

I am officially a lifelong Mick Cronin fan: "On the West Side, they play to win," he says. "On the East Side, everyone gets to participate."

I love it! Truer words have never been spoken... F the mother f'ing soft-ass, overpaying, sweater vest wearing, car leasing, indie rock loving, pompous, egotistical, act like you're rich, appletini drinking, helly hansen, phony f'ing bologna, see and be seen, Xavier loving, preppie f'ing east siders. F every last one of those mother f'ers. Move your fake asses to Chicago... you'll love it there! (Just make sure you're as far north as possible you pussies).

The west side is the best side, and I guarantee you that anyone who scoffs at that statement not only fits at least most of the above description, but thinks they're better than you because you live on the west side. West siders will beat their ass, and they know it. There are exponentially more punks on the east side, yet somehow all the tough guys are west siders. You won't get jumped by a group of dudes at a west side bar like you might on the east side, but you will get knocked the f out at a west side bar by 1 guy if you've got it coming. I hate those f'ing east side pussies.

Man!!! That one statement from Mick brought back feelings that I had forgotten over the last 3 years. Thank god I still feel this way.
