Country Love

Got my ipod nano today. I’m satisfied with it. I was gonna send it back for a second generation nano, but I don’t care. I didn’t realize how small it is, I love it.

Greg’s officially on summer vacation!

Yesterday Greg, Caesar, and I went on an exploration road trip. From time to time we just go driving to find something new. Well, yesterday we found Kentucky. The last trip we went on, we ended up in Missouri. I just love the country. I fell in love with it when I was 9 years old visiting my cousins in Arkansas. I used to come visit every summer up until I turned 14 or so. For the most part I feel really safe, but in some areas, I don’t. Those areas I don’t feel safe in are those hick/rodeo looking towns. I remember being in government class my junior year of high school. The topic of where we wanted to live came up and I said “the country” and this dude that always has something to say about any and everybody had to add his 2 cents in “remember up here we’re free”. Racism still exists and I don’t believe it will ever die, but there are many safe parts of the south. Everything’s just peaceful and people are nicer than up north. Greg and I most likely are gonna stay in the south. My cousin and her husband just bought 10 acres of land and are building a house in Arkansas, so we’ll be close for visiting.

Racism will always be here. You’d think that after having lived for more than two decades, it wouldn’t bother me anymore. But it still does. The south IS beautiful and the people there really seem friendly. I got these impressions from watching too much Travel & Living. *lol*

I love the country as well and couldn’t agree more that the South and the West (excluding California) are the friendliest palces int he country. The NorthEast just doesn’t do it for me.
