Remind me to slap you around next time I see you.
Oklahoma is wonderful!  You insult my family heritage when you speak so negatively.  I will have
to take you and other interested friends to our family farm this summer and prove to you how
neat Oklahoma is.  The landscapes are beautiful in many places, the college towns are neat
places, and the rural life is oh so peaceful and nice.
What part of OK have you been to?  I'll show you the good parts.
And I'm not crazy.  I'm just misunderstood.--ZAPP

Since I feel like it I'm going to ignore your careful metaphor and simply say that oklahoma
sucks.(my mom would kill me for that...)
Quite clearly, the only place worth living that one could call between chicago and lubbock is
Colorado. Even if it isn't really between them very much. Actually, this is now going to be a
list of my favorite states (which, incidentally, are for the most part the ones I've spent time
in while on our weird
family-national-park-road-trips-of-hell-and-heaven-all-in-the(genuine-leather)seats-of-a-1983-volvo.
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and California.
Probably Idaho and Utah too, but I haven't been there to say yea or nay. The point is, almost
every single place I have visited I have fallen in love with with the sole exception of
Oklahoma. You're crazy.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

So life is the yin and the yang and everything in between, and we appreciate the one while
experiencing the other.  Usually, anyway.
The good life just might lie somewhere between Lubbock and Chicago... which equates to Austin in
my mind... cross Texas with big city and the good life?  Austin.  Lubbock is a nice place to
live too...  But you know, I wouldn't want to live here in Chicago.  No no no.  Just gonna do my
school and head back to Texas.
and I know  all about that cycle of events that's hard to break away from... you either have to
embrace it, alter it, or discard it...--ZAPP--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
                    Replying to Original Article:Kenny, as always you're right on. (By the way,
I did throw that ambient no line in there to get a few chuckles out of you....ahhh, the lost
days of creative writing...)
You said something about the environment playing a role and I think that's also correct. My post
was written in response to what appears to be sometimes an unchanging cycle of events in which I
can't break out of, and the thought that life was always changing instead of just syndicating
itself (like "full house"...ewwww) was a refreshing thought. But I completely agree in that one
must have peace as well. I wasn't trying to give a complete picture of life. Really just kinda
like turning something over and examining a side not seen in a while. Like, life includes all
this stuff but is not limited to all the aforementioned. I dunno. I'm beating a dead horse. "No
sir, I don't like it." (sorry, obscure Ren and Stimpy allusion)
Could it be that the "good life" lies somewhere between the hectic world of Chicago and the
peaceful world of Lubbock? That would mean...pack your bags, we're going to Missouri! YEEE HAW!
