...in Boston guys will walk into walls because they're busy staring at me, but in New York I'm as good as invisible? It's sort of amazing how different it is down South.
Why do people lie? They do and it's sickening.
Why am I so tired all the time? Oh wait, I know. Because my life is ruled by craigslist and other people are insomniacs too.
Why do people ask for more than they deserve, and when will I learn to do this? I tried tonight and failed. Can someone help me?
Why don't I go to bed?

Why is it that...

Having grown up in NY and having lived in Boston for 3 yrs., I'm qualified to answer question 1. It's easy. First, most of the women in Boston are ugly. They pack on lbs. of fat to guard against the abominable winter, then they cover it all in L.L. Bean crew neck sweaters. Sorry Boston ladies, but I callz em as I seez em. At least that's how I saw it 20 years ago. I'm sure the men didn't look any better. Second, people in NY do not stare at anything or anyone. They don't stare at Mick Jagger. They don't stare at Angelina Jolie. They won't stare at you. It's a survival mechanism stemming from living with too many rats in too small a cage. Staring can lead to a confrontation with Curtis Sliwa or the Soup Nazi or Ivan the crazy cabbie.
People lie because they are weak, and lack self-esteem. I see it all the time. I tell clients, witnesses or anyone who will listen, to tell the truth, especially to me when they seek counseling. But they think they have to hide something when it would all be much simpler of they would just tell it and then deal with it. Some people have been lying about everything for so long, they don't even know what is true and what is not. (Mark Twain admitted to this, as far as I know, most other people aren't even aware they have fallen into it.)
You don't need to ask for more than you deserve. You have so much.
That's a bizarre cross section of questions.
1. Yes, Boston women are fugly. They all look like hideous men. I don't care who gets pissed off about what I just wrote. It's arrogant to claim otherwise. Or, it's simply an indication of bad taste. NYC does have more better looking women, but come the fuck on. This is the US. It's the drainage pit of crap that was kicked out of the motherland.
2. You lie. Everyone lies. People lie for a variety of reasons. I don't see what the big deal is, and why you think it's sickening. Sounds hypocritical and like an overreaction. I lie when I know the person I'm talking to is a moron, and I need something done quickly and don't have time for a stupid person's horsefucked cogitation. All leaders do that. It's a waste of time talking to morons. Also, if men didn't lie to women, you'd see a rise in Pfizer stock because of increased Prozac sales. Just think of the perennial "Am I fat?" question women assault men with. Well, shit, if I didn't lie, do you know what would happen?? So get off your high horse. You need lies because you can't handle the truth. Telling you the truth wouldn't be charitable.
3. Stop using the interwebs and do something productive. You are ruled by yourself. You've simply learned to take commands from the outside without question. Give your own desires and goals precedence. You are the most important person in your life.
4. Life has nothing to do with deserving anything. You get what you take. Stop being an idiot, or you'll be the turd everyone kicks around while they go after what they want.
