IF I GOT TO CHOOSE A COAST I GOT TO CHOOSE THE EAST
I LIVE OUT THERE SO DONT GO THERE
BUT THAT DONT MEAN A N*GGA CANT REST IN THE WEST
SEE SOME NICE BREASTS IN THE WEST
SMOKE SOME NICE CESS IN THE WEST

My god, I have never been east of the Mississip nor to western California. The California seems like hell. New England seems so self-important and I do not think I'd be happy there. Seriously most of the nation is not coasts.

Yours in flyover country,

i am way too pasty and cynical for the west coast

bell_labs, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

i would consider the pacific northwest for a year, but i think everyone is still too cheerful and posi.

bell_labs, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

People used to say things like that about New England when I lived in the flyover zone, things like "those people were so unfriendly in Upstate New York, it's just a whole different mindset..." blah blah and so on, and now I go home and try to run errands and I'm like WELL THANK GOD, DO I HAVE ALL DAY TO STAND AROUND CHATTING AT THE GENERAL STORE? NO I DO NOT, GIVE ME MY GROCERIES.

But srsly, East Coast for lighthouses and clambakes and maritime traditions of all kinds.

Laurel, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

yeah man i love the west coast and im glad ive spent time here but nothing beats the east

max, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

this is hard!

carne asada, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:44 (eighteen years ago)

perhaps Mr Que prefers the coast of Nebraska

gabbneb, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

west coast is way better-looking, but I'd rather have a conversation with the east

gabbneb, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

I would mos defs like to visit (or live if I liked the vist/it was affordable); I am just scared of people who think they are experts on things. Those people are all over, though, but esp on the coasts it seems! Maybe because there are actually things happening.

CLAMBAKE sounds like the funnest thing in the world!

Abbott, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

South is the coolest tho, I think.

Abbott, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

people ask me this question a lot. but i never have a good answer. cuz i like both places for totally different reasons

carne asada, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

there's no coast of nebraska

Mr. Que, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

(oceanic coast)

Mr. Que, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

the south is awesome in theory to me but i grew up in the northiest eastiest part of the country and do not thrive in hot weather.

Well apparently people in West Michigan think they are experts about people in Upstate New York, for instance...then again West Michigan is a coast too! Maybe yr onto something, Abbs.

New York City is too hot compared to New England ;_;

gabbneb, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

I grew up having the vague impression that North Easterners were terse, cold, and unfriendly to outsiders yea even to the seventh generation or some shit like that. That might be true from a certain perspective but that is a) just a perspective, and b) let's be serious: I could never live in the South or anywhere else people talk that slowly.

Laurel, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

I want to go to the Smithsonian for my honeymoon.

Abbott, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

i complain about the cold in nyc sometimes, but it's only because you are supposed to look nice and put together all the time and it isn't socially acceptable to wear snowpants and long underwears. whereas in maine we are very good at layering and bundling up to face the negative 20 degree weather and not whine about it.

bell_labs, Friday, 25 January 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

You should talk to Dan M, he's a Yooper and they are like that there, too.

I grew up in a "summer town" so being unfriendly to NYCers was something I learned at young age.

Also, Southern people are generally just outright nasty to you as opposed to "cold". My folks were on a roadtrip in college in the deep South and had a breakdown or something that necessitated a trip to a service station. They get to some shithole gas station with a bunch of rednecks out in front and the attendant goes "Well.... I see you're all from MassaDAMNchusetts...."

(Then they were nice)

Upstate New York = the midwest, only crystal methier. Thoswe nutty flyovers don't even know New York isn't in New England.

this is weird b/c this morning i was thinking that my new goal which wld somehow make all the other goals happen in some kind of weird but feasible logic is to be able to begin every day by swimming in the ocean

rrrobyn, Friday, 25 January 2008 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

xp Ha ha, they were talking about Rochester specifically, I guess, since the person in question was at Eastman.

In fact, they're so cool that west coast climatic patterns almost drove me to insanity...but still I would trade coasts in a second.

dell, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:42 (eighteen years ago)

East coast mentality, broadly speaking, drives me even crazier!

And that's not reverse psychology of "don't move to the west coast, it sucks, heh-heh,", as much as I might wish I could employ that sorta calculating and cleverness.

jessie monster, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:47 (eighteen years ago)

I like the south, and should investigate it more.

But more importantly, where is the "yr neighbors, agh" thread? At the moment I can hear my downstairs neighbors having sexual congress for the second time today, plus I am smelling delicious tomato-sauce dish leaking over from some other neighboring unit, followed by some homey beef dish or something. I can only turn up the speaker so loud, and smoke w/o opening the windows for so long...
