It starts with the location. Yes your are right, it is only an hour from everything, but all that does is provide an excuse to have nothing here. Located in the dead center of Marion County, our largest attraction is a national forest. I know what you are thinking; National forests can be allot of fun, not in Florida. Our National treasure is stocked with scrub oaks and palmettos, yeah. Arguable the only thing that might be remotely exciting about them are them numerous springs scattered throughout the landscape. Unfortunately the white trash flock to them as if it’s a mandate to receive their food stamps.
If its urban entertainment you desire, we are lacking that too. Most of the population envisions an exciting night out as dinner and a movie, whoopty f-in do. The rest presumably stay home and suck the teat of some reality show. I say this only after overhearing some of the mindless conversation at dinner, and before my movie. On this particular occasion I had been near nausea from hearing one of Ocala's finest woman discuss the drama from someone else’s life that happens to be on TV. In here defense she recapped the dribble with such passion, it almost seemed as if she were real. It wasn't long after she changed topics to the local gossip, spreading a lousy rumor that would undoubtedly hurt the credibility of the individual. Is this what our society has really been reduced to? Or are we just surrounded by pathetic people? Either way, Ocala sucks.
