It sucks to be me!

With many thanks to Avenue Q--they were really on to something! Is there anybody here it doesn't suck to be? I thought I would find out. This will be a blog devoted to all the people it sucks to be. I hope that means there's a place for everyone! Are you incarcerated, or do you have an embarrassing wart? Did you get stuck in the airport, stuck in traffic or stuck in a bad relationship? I'm quite sure it sucks to be you--at least sometimes.

Recent literature indicates that it particularly sucks to be twenty-something these days, but I'll stick with Daniel Gross of Slate. In "The it sucks to be me generation," he reminds us all that it sucks to be twenty something, whenever you were twenty something. Everyone is the "it sucks to be me generation!"

Starting with me (of course); it sucks to be me. I like watching TV at the end of a long day, but these days TV is really bad. Game shows, reality shows, shows inviting us to vote for America's best invention or dance routine or model or video or stand up comic. Formulaic cop shows, formulaic sitcoms. Hundreds of channels and nothing on. Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert took two weeks off. ARGH! It sucks to be me!

It definitely sucks to be Patty--in bed with nausea and vertigo.

It sucks to be Deontae, a football player.

And it really sucks to be this gal, trying to lose weight.

It sucks to only get four hours of sleep a night and have another night of work ahead.

JT has a broken tooth. Man, it sucks to be him.

"The Guy" ate a good onion bagel with bad cream cheese. And Special K had to wait on the tarmac for 45 minutes before he could get off his plane at LAX.

It appears there will be no shortage of material for a blog.

But sometimes, it really sucks to be you, or you know someone it sucks to be. Post your story to the comments or send me an email!
