*Disclaimer* I just want to say that this whole post may be biased just based on the fact that I'm still mad that I was on vacation during the Ubermadness sign up. Consequently, I didn't get it. But I would have lost anyways, so I guess I have to stick to the less prestigious normal Ubersite.
Anyways, as for the reason ubermadness sucks so far, is the sheer volume of sad stories. Especially the ones having to do with losing a loved one.
Right now, I am in love. I am in love with the most wonderful person in the world. I'm young, so I don't know if it can last. I hope it does.
Every time I read one of the sad stories, about 2 lovers separating, or about one of them dying and the other not being able to live anymore, I put me and my love in that place. So far I have broke into tears litterally 5 times.
It breaks my heart to even think that we will never be able to stay together. That the inevitable changes in life will tear us apart, no matter how much we try.
I know change is an inevitable part of life. It is what defines life. But I know in my heart that I will always, always love the girl of my dreams.
I love you Jill.
P.S. Before all you negative Nancies start -2'ing me all over the place, just don't. I'm trying to get a carreer positive rating here.....or something.

Well, I'm sure some of the people wouldn't have posted what they posted, had they known it was going to take forever for their opponent to submit their entry, and by that time, the love/death/carnival/outer space theme they had posted about became overdone.
Don't knock people for using the same subject that's been overdone, at least until the next round anyways.

I kind of see where you are coming from Butterball. Maybe there are lots of stories about love breaking up because the writers are using ubermadness to come to terms with their own loss?
Mrwolf, I know exactly where you are coming from. It's so easy to become accustomed to something and being with someone. I don't mean you take them for granted, every second shared should be valued but you do start to feel secure that you know how the other person feels. This normally happens right before it all goes wrong. There's a saying that says,
"if you think you have found a winning formula, you are about to be beaten."
Perhaps that's true to relationships as well as athletes.

I'd rate you -2 if this post sucked really bad, but it doesn't. In fact, you have a DAMN good point.
But I imagine that later on in UM, the titles will get better. I hope.

MrWolf, that's sad.
You've made me reflect now, so I'm sitting in the office looking at the screen through a haze of tears and hoping no customers come in.
Thanks.

Good for you dude, me too. Only thing is this is my third time in love. I am no longer young, I know how easy it is for these things to break down, worst of all sometimes you don't even notice they've broken down, and even worse is that sometimes you do know they've broken down and pretend they haven't because you don't want to let go of the feelings you first had.
I went through a year of hell with a girl I was pretending to be in love with. Love is a dangerous thing man, don't tell yourself you know you'll always have these feelings, make sure that you always have these feelings by constantly checking, even thought that feels rotten.

Whoops...you are a dude. Anyways, then modify my post to say "Your woman is checking out dudes." which is usually more likely...

Well, you don't have to go to an ubermadness post to feel sad.
It's inside of you right now. Something inside your brain accepts the reality that life is.
Just think of all the failed marriages and relationships that exist, and know that it is much more likely for you and your loved one to part ways.
Your fond memories of pleasant times will turn to bitter hatred as you age.
Enjoy that feeling that love is eternal and special while you still have it, because when you find out it isn't it will surely give you a gut check.
How do people respond to that reality? Some turn to alcohol and drugs. Others murder their parter and then turn a weapon on themselves. If you are one of the minority that can handle such devastation, then good for you.
Your parter is checking out other women whenever you are not there. Go ahead and ask him. If he says "No." then it's probably true. Denial is common in these cases. It's best you poke around his things to make sure he doesn't have any phone numbers that you do not recognize.
I hope I made you feel better. If I couldn't help, please play the following old songs to make you feel better:
Boys 2 Men - End Of The Road
Aerosmith - What it Takes
Nazareth - Love Hurts
Roy Orbison - Crying
If those don't cheer you up, I don't know what else can.

"He opens the door, and meets his girl. Why is he there? Does he want to apologize for the past? Is he sorry that he cheated on her? Is he going to make the pain go away?
I can't hear you very well. Where are you? I'm calling for you...please hear me. I don't know how much longer I can go on without you. I'm going to cry now. Please be with me...
...I love you."
I wrote that as a parody for all the shit on the front page that people seem to like because they're "deep". It took zilch effort, I just made sentences, and didn't bother to string them together.
I prefer normal conversation rules compared to breaking those rules, like in Shakespeare or...slice-of-life posts.

Must have been that vacation....

Go read Couldn't Say It (the second post in particular). It's greatness. Funny, weird, random, and just pure greatness.

Fair point.
I wish I had read some of these posts before writing, I wrote sad sack bullshit because it's easy.
Now I wish I had been funny or obtuse - at least interesting.
Mine is teh suXXor.
Oh well, there's next time.

Well have you looked at the titles lately? Most of them blow to high hell. 'Aching Heart'? The most I would've done with that is include a dude getting shot in the heart. Otherwise, I'd be forced to do some ghey ass sappy shit.
Some of the depressing ones are the better ones, however. But remember, its only round 1. We'll see much better the second time around.

If you had the title: "This post sucks balls" perhaps I would have given you a positive rating because I would have known what to expect.
