PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS THE BOMB

So, the number one reason why I, Sam want to move to a city? No its not because of the business (I often times prefer the quiet of the country). It's not because of a job, as I could get one (theoretically speaking) anywhere. and no its not because there are more things to do, social events and the like. Its not the lifestyle, the people, or the options, no the number one reason is public transportation.

I fucking love public transportation, best invention ever. If you live in many areas within many large cities, there is cheap affordable public transportation that is for the most part safe, reliable, and NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

On the other end of this argument is my not so trusty truck (whose nick name is robocar, but only because the power locks don't always work properly and lock people out constantly). I knew it was not going to make it through the winter, although I was praying really hard it would. Over the last 3 years I've put almost about the same amount of money into this truck as I bought it for, which wasn't much. It old, a 1995 nissan pathfinder to be exact. In those same 3 years I have come to dislike cars (and the suburbs that require them) very much.

My Truck once again broke down yesterday. At least this time it wasn't in the middle of a road or in some store parking lot. At least it was at school in the parking spot its supposed to be in, but it just simply wouldn't start. not even a chug. no clicks, no sound whatsoever. And as of now its still not fixed.

Now see, I guess if I was in a more stable financial situation, I wouldn't dislike cars so much, but everytime I think I'm getting on track financially, something goes wrong with my truck. its like everything is going right and something has to go wrong. If i had a decent car or truck and the means to take care of sed car or truck, I wouldn't have such an issue. but the responsibility of owning a car/truck is just terrible. I really can't stand it. WHY CAN"T THERE BE PUBLIC TRANSIT EVERYWHERE! or for that matter WHY COULDN'T I HAVE GOTTEN A CAR/TRUCK THAT WORKS. I'm about ready to blow the damn thing up.And the only reason I've got a stupid truck/car is because I work at a job off campus that I need to get too. (If campus jobs would have paid me as well and given me enough hours I may not be having this problem, so maybe I should blame the school? kidding).

Lets just hope my truck is fixable this time, and that it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg that I don't have. Heck I don't even have a finger to give, but I'll have to make do. I want to move back to a city and I want to move NOW! But unfortunately, It will have to wait until at least August.
