I suppose I'll go laugh at all the idiots who married people from school and never made it out anywhere. I'm sure there will be enough to keep me occupied all night.
I grew up in a small town about 70 miles from the city. There were some really good people to come out of the place, but at the same time, there were also plenty of downright redneck losers who had no further aspirations than a double-wide on the lot right beside their parents.
I'm sure it will be refreshing.
It's hard for me to respect people who don't have any personal desire to better themselves. Maybe it's just because I can't relate, but what's the point of living if you're just going to do the same thing every day from 18 to 78?plained wrote:i think i could live in a trailer in a trailer park on the edge of towns.
is that bad?

At 3:30 today I go to the HR office to have my exit interview, after which I say goodbye to this place and I become temporarily unemployed.
One of my best friends is flying from Seattle to visit his parents, and they're all having a bbq with my family and some other old friends, so I'll probably spend most of the weekend in my parents' hometown. Might head north to another friend's cabin for his birthday ...uh... soiree... but I don't know if I'll have time for it.
So I'll spend the weekend at my parents' house, without a job, and drinking. Probably not unlike some of R00k's former schoolmates.
Nope. That was just a description of some of these people because I've known them personally. I actually know people who meet that description that I do respect - I just wrote a quick summary of their more obvious characteristics instead of writing a novel.plained wrote:ok i see rook, just liveing in a trailer mautomatically makes you those things youre saying
At the same time, in a certain sense, I consider living in any trailer to be a lack of drive for personal betterment. One of the major benefits of a home is protection, and a thin house on wheels just doesn't meet that requirement. But that's a matter of personal opinion more than anything else.
If I see somebody who has spent more on their car than on their home, then I don't have much respect for them because I consider their priorities to be flighty and without purpose.
Sure it's judgemental, but it's judging a person on their own actions. And after all the work I've done in my life, I don't apologize for being a little biased.
