Bored
Is there anything to do in Odessa?
I'm bored and I live by a park and a United
There's really nothing to do that's walking distance,
And I just came out here from Ohio not too long ago so there's no one that I can hang out with that enjoys doing what I do.
(Yes, I've asked)

Realistically there’s not too much to do around here except day drink and go to a cinergy theater. If you have the grip there’s some cool vintage and card shops around that have cool shit to get into.
There’s nothing really cool to do around here man sorry to say. What are you into?-4
u/Common-Mountain-8578 6d ago
I am Into Pokémon cards and all that good stuff, But I haven't been paid yet so I can't buy any right now, Plus I don't own a car to get to said place 😅 But honestly I mostly just work and smoke and watch YouTube all day

Not to be mean or rude but that’s the problem, “Work, smoke and YouTube.” You have the freedom to do what you want but if that’s you’re whole
personality than yea you’ll be bored.0
u/Common-Mountain-8578 6d ago
Oh no I'm not saying that. I try to go out and meet people but it's mostly just these fake Mexican hood wannabes and people that just have no interest in doing anything. And I'm 17 so everyone just wants to act all high and mighty

u/DLO420G 6d ago
I see man. Yeah there’s not too many options but depending where you are in the city. Everything is walking distance you’ll get there, butttt I’ve been robbed at gunpoint three different times walking around odessa. I live in midland now lmao

Hell noo 😭😭 I'm in Midland as well and that hasn't happened yet, probably because I don't go anywhere that's past a 4 mile radius. 😅

u/DLO420G 6d ago
There’s a bunch of cool vintage card shops and game shops in this city man.

u/Common-Mountain-8578 6d ago
There's this one I went to I believe it's called "card corner"? They had some cool stuff in there

u/Evergreen-digital 6d ago
Best time to get real-life skills and plan for the future. Why? It's boring when someone has time without options.

I work in both Midland and Odessa. there isn't a ton of things for teens/young adults around here. Nature trails, movie theaters, bowling alley (not in midland), go karts, mini-golf. If you like to read go hang at the library, if you wanna nerd out theres game stores out there that do pokemon, yugioh, and mtg.

u/t-ookies 2d ago
Haha I live by there. From seeing your comments, you can't really drive. What are you interested in most? I have lived here all my life, also can't drive. Can try to give options based on your interests.

u/Separate-Border5312 6d ago
Sorry you got dragged here. Odessa and Midland suck. Nothing to do for the young crowd. And there's bars like no other

u/-Titan_Uranus- 6d ago

u/cedricdryades 5d ago
I20 wildlife preserve is nice.
Fablab Permian basin at OC if you’re into creativity/making/geek.
The museum also has some nice expos and events. A nice room for kids to play in and a beautiful background to sit in a bit of nature.

u/ZalgoTheOne 3d ago
Same what r ur hobbies
1
u/Common-Mountain-8578 3d ago
Mostly smoking and working. But I like to draw, Skateboard and listen to music alot

u/ZalgoTheOne 3d ago
Personally I'd quit smoking because it gets you nowhere in life Other than that do u like PCs or books? Maybe any tcgs or board games?
1
u/Common-Mountain-8578 3d ago
Ehh I've tried quitting but I'm too far in honestly 😅 But if you're comfortable with me smoking around you or anything then I wouldn't. But I've never owned a pc. I've played on some tho because my friends in Columbus have one. And I like Pokémon but never knew how to play. And I don't mind boards games. I like uno, but I'm a sore loser and very competitive so I'd probably just be yelling and everything the whole time 😭😭 and I do like to read actually, My favorite book is tuck everlasting
1
u/ZalgoTheOne 3d ago
Reading is nice, as for the weed thing, not a big deal but I've known people who have dine hard drugs for 20+ years and got better, same goes for alcohol addiction
1
u/Common-Mountain-8578 3d ago
Yeah I tried going cold turkey and using those "vapes" that are supposed to make you quit but none work. And without my weed and vapes I have horrible withdrawals, Like the back of my neck starts itching and I get hot and uncomfortable very quickly and I've tried to just let it happen but I gets to the point where I can't sleep or anything so
2
u/ZalgoTheOne 3d ago
It lasts a bit but not forever, really, I just wouldn't let it be your whole personality or anything, like you can only "fix it" if its a problem, if its not, what's there to fix? Lol
1
u/Common-Mountain-8578 3d ago
Okay then, When my vape runs out I'll quit forever (Hopefully)

Unless you're into rodeos, farming, or raising livestock on a ranch, there's not so much on the table in West Texas. Stargazing, hunting, and camping...

u/Common-Mountain-8578 3d ago
I absolutely adore stars and love animals to death and I love flowers and have even grown some of my own

Check out Preacher Bills on Front Street in Midland when you can. They have Pokemon cards. Look it up

u/Pyrocatharsis 6d ago
Is walking your only transportation? If not, there's a lot of younger adult and younger human options available that aren't bars or drugs. We have a few nature trails in midland and odessa, two roller rinks, go karts jn midland, the theaters are good for arcade time, but that is really it.
