    What The South And Growing Up Southern Means To Me

    12/05 / No Comments

    To Rob that commented the following on my Facebook: Yesterday CNN did about a 10 or 15 minute interview with the mayor of Asheville… If you think you’re going to see news reporting every day for the next year and a half… You’re naïve… Seen the same stupid videos day after day after day, with the same stupid songs, and the same emotional manipulation… That doesn’t help anybody… It’s garbage. I pondered this for 6 or so hours and here’s my response to you. In the South, family isn’t just a word — it’s the heart of everything.

You are stuck in a tin can in the sky that doesn’t even feel like it’s moving, with hundreds of other people who are all looking to get to the same destination. It’s cattle class and it’s not a fun way to travel.    However, with a little bit of inspiration, there are so many ways that you can entertain yourself and pass the time quicker while you travel. Some people measure their time in a flight in terms of movie length. For example, if they have a 14 hour flight, they know…
