I appreciate a good rant; I like people who can rant eloquently. What I do not appreciate are people who feel the need to rant about the same thing without ceasing. Today, I was trying to find a website for the sushi restaurant where I’ll be taking The Future Mayor tonight, and instead I found a blog clearly created by someone with a desperate lack of either a social life or a halfway interesting thought life.
So, the very first Welcome to the Confessional Idiot Award goes to whomever created http://www.annarborisoverrated.com. This lovely blog has provided reasons why Ann Arbor sucks (which, as far as I can tell, are the cost of living and the fact that Zingerman’s once dared to put mayo on his sandwich) since May 2002. That’s a really long time to rant. Idiot Boy (I’ve assumed this individual to be male) claims he cannot move out of Ann Arbor because he is still a graduate student. Someone ought to tell him that schools other than the University of Michigan happen to have excellent graduate programs. This guy better not be in the poli sci department.
Get a hobby, Idiot Boy. No, another hobby.
Lately, I’ve had this tingling in my fingers and palms and a pain in my forearms, which has caused me to wonder if I’m developing carpal tunnel. Between my job, my blogging, and my writing, it would be no wonder how I got it. Being in need of a doctor anyhow, I made an appointment. I saw the most gorgeous doctor for my carpal-tunnel-that-turned-out-not-to-be-carpal-tunnel-after-all. I could give up professors for this guy. (Fortunately, I don’t have any to give up at this early stage in my quest.) I will admit chasing handsome doctors is a bit cliché, but I can live with that.
Happy Fourth of July!

Definitely, go for it. It's a cliche for a reason. ;)
I concur. There's definately a reason :)
Sheesh, what's wrong with that blogger? Do they need to share their griping with everyone? What's especially sad is how many people comment! How does he get so many readers?
Hey, Stacy. Carolyn from Backspace has visited your blog. I'm going back to check the link about your sushi date with the future mayor (lifts eyebrows).
I may be having sushi today, and I can only hope and pray that it isn't sushi cooked on the flames of hell. Although I suppose that would just make it fish, wouldn't it? Okay, I hope it isn't sushi that isn't forced to look at the flames of hell before scurrying away in terror, doomed to live its sushi life with a lingering sense of burning hell sensations until some poor (but strikingly gorgeous) fools come and eat it.
Yeah, I don't want that. Or dead body sushi.
I just want a normal California roll. Is that so much to ask for?
Hope Napa Valley's amazing! Have a good flight!
Hey, if the cliche fits, go for it! I'm a singer who married her drummer. Talk about cliche. But he's a very nice cliche and he's give me two very adorable and cliche sons. So I'm diggin' my cliche. Go grab yours.
And I agree - idiot boy needs to get out more.
Handsome doctors! Not only are they hunky but THEY ARE DOCTORS!
I'm snorting my beverage out of my nostrillular orifi... THE COST OF LIVING IN ANN ARBOR? Where the hell is idiot boy from? A cave in Mississippi? Tell him to come East and try grad school here in CT or better yet, The Big Apple. He'll be crying for mayo on his sang-wich inside of a Michigan minute. Better yet, stay out there in the Midwest, idiot boy. Stay out there....
Hmm, pursuing my doctor and then blogging about it. It sounds like a bad (yet entertaining) article for Cosmo.
Carolyn, I could see how the name The Future Mayor could imply a hot date, but in reality, she is my eighteen-year-old cousin. As for other quirky names I use on here, The Future Boxing Champ is my three-month-old niece. (I don't know if my niece will keep that nickname, though. Now that she's discovered her hands, she no longer punches herself in the face. Other people are still fair game for her punches, however.)
Kim: It is pretty entertaining. Idiot Boy insists the cost of living in Ann Arbor is as high as Boston or Chicago, but I'm doubtful about that. I'll agree it's the most expensive city in Michigan, but that doesn't mean much.
Handsome doctors are overrated.
Ann Arbor's rent is more than in Chicago. I know this because I've lived in Chicago and had a better time, while paying cheaper rent. Part of the reason that, yes, Ann Arbor is indeed overrated..
Ann Arbor's rent is more than Chicago's and many other larger and more interesting communities. I know this because I have an internet connection and am capable of going to the Census webpage or the HUD webpage and looking up median rents and home prices for municipalities.
Ann Arbor is a nice place to live and I enjoyed spending a couple years there for school. However, it is indeed overrated. Residents often brag about the how it is such an lively, progressive, fun city when in fact it is a rather sleeply little college town filled with bratty kids and snooty yuppies.
When I lived in Ann Arbor, I found www.annarborisoverrated.com to be a welcome relief from all the pro-Ann Arbor blather that I kept hearing. Plus the news and community commentary on the site is much better than anything you can find in any of the city's crappy papers. Letting a little air out of Ann Arbor's self-congratulatory sense of itself is a community service the site is providing. And It's certainly more interesting and more worthy of public posting than a bunch of mind-numbing, childish drivel about cute doctors. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I live in California now but am still a regular AAIO reader.
Dave: This is true.
Eggcup: Hmm, interesting. My sister used to live in Chicago, and it always seemed like her rent was ridiculous. But to be fair, I've never seen any apartments in Ann Arbor that have half as much character as her Chicago apartments did.
Anonymous: Ann Arbor IS expensive, I will agree, and yes, Ann Arbor does think highly of itself.
My friend of mine once described his dislike of Ann Arbor this way, "It’s full of haughty hippies. Hippies shouldn't be haughty." I can respect that. I personally haven't found people here to be haughty, but I won’t argue with his experience. I moved here from Saginaw, so I was amazed to find how nice people are around here. My friend moved here from a Detroit suburb, so naturally his expectations would be different from my own.
You know what? Your comment is my first hate comment on this blog. I feel like I should give you a medal. Something very shiny. I won’t even get cranky for being called “mind-numbing.” After all, you didn’t read the post where I solved parking crisis at Whole Foods. If you had, the brilliance of it all would’ve made you cry.
Oh wow. Since when did the word "overrated" become equivilent in meaning to the word "sucks"? I will guess that you were schooled in Ann Arbor. Also, if words like "a bunch of mind-numbing, childish drivel about cute doctors" is to you the makings of a hate comment, wel, then I weep for your future happiness.
and see, but for AAIO, people like me would never have come to your blog (this one time only) to see what the fuss was about.
not much right?
but Anonymous is completely right. If anything, AAIO doesn't skewer enough anymore.
Maybe the view via Saginaw is different/
