My World: Population 1

I took my QAF disc back to the store last night, and apparently it can be fixed somewhere in Mississauga. So I left with no disc and no refund, and a hope that they remember who I am when I go back to get it! Other things that disturbed me yesterday…….the USD exchange rate was 1.176500!!! So much for that trip to Buffalo…AND the building that used to house every movie I watched in the 80’s and early 90’s (in Napanee) is being turned into housing for mental patients!!! What the f*ck is that? Back in the day, Head’s Video Corner was the best (and only) place to rent videos in Napanee. But small town video store selection it was definitely not. They had a horror section that puts to shame almost every rental place in Toronto, and I watched every single one of them. Now it’ll be a horror of a different kind. It does frighten me that they actually need housing for crazies in a town with a population just over 5000 (I guess that explains me). There it is Erik – 5000! Not 15,000, which is only inflation brought on by the amalgamation of all towns within a 45-minute drive (I count by travel time, not km) into a town called Greater Napanee. F*ck that shit! Napanee is still Napanee, Selby is still Selby and Adolphustown is still Adolphustown. This whole discussion was provoked by Much Music saying, “Avril Lavigne is from Napanee, Ontario, Population 15,000”. Are you as offended as I am Avril? I know it seems irrational because really, it’s just a number, but I didn’t spend 17 years in a small town, only to be told as an adult that my hometown isn’t really that small. Have ya’ll been to Napanee? My old high school is about 20 feet away from my old public school. Literally.
