Oh me oh my.

I Before i start, i think you should know where i live there are like 2 (arguably 3) major cities in the WHOLE state. Not just a portion, i mean the whole thing. The capital hardly counts as big, and aside from that there are only two big cities. The rest of my state is definitely small, southern, not the richest, excited about getting walmart, type. It's just like that all over. And it can get pretty redneck. But where i live is a big city for us, but smaller than St. Louis. Okay anyways, we have a ton of stuff here, but none the less we still have all that country in us. We just couldn't deny it if we tried.

So as i was driving home from a trip, we (my family and i ) were going through the small cities. You know, trailer parks, mobile homes, trashed car lots everywhere, small homes with windows falling out, one walmart, a few gas stations, the local mcdonalds, basically like every small city here. Most people would look at it and be disgusted. They'd call it trash, make fun of people who live there calling them racist white trash (because apparently that's what everyone thinks they are), either wishing or being thankful for the big city. No one wants the small shrinky-dink town where people are all on food stamps and run around town yelling bubba, sissy, and smacking your kid the second they mouth off or hide your dope. Except for me. I want that. I seriously do. I'm not saying i want to be poor, or have to smack my kid, or use food stamps, or live in a house where the windows are falling out. But i do want to live in a place small, where money isn't everything. Where my kids can run and play and i know people are watching out for them, ready to tell me when they do something they shouldn't. I want to live somewhere i can help people, and where you can wave at people on the street and know all about them. The reason i want this in a poor place is because i don't have to be rich. Money won't determine who i am or what i can do. It would just be another thing that i wouldn't have to flaunt. I could live simply, and enjoy life. Enjoy actual things instead of worrying about all the material items.
