Drunk n Design-y. After two years, I do hate the west. There, I proclaimed something.
I don't like the west. It's ignorant, more rednecky than my former hometown where the grain and bible belts meet. (That's the Midwestern South, it gets a crappy wrap, but only because no one in their right mind would voluntarily experience this special kind of redneck. I practically am in Utah.) American culture is solidified, codified, and fabulized where rivers are.
Water is an intellectual levelling device. If there is enough water to go around, people only freak the fuck out medium. Here, there is no water. You die without water. Everyone, freak the fuck out. Also, people live out their Ayn Rand fantasy. Did I mention that if you were over 21 and still a fan, our friendship will be complicated?
Don't worry, I don't hunger for the midwest. I still don't like it. I am still your CouponWhore.
Have a drink.
Thanks for your complicity. You are now implicated.
