Big City In A Small Town

I just had a thought...I'm a big city guy, stuck in this small town, with small town people, who really don't get me. I like music most people here don't like, I dress like a SoCal surf bum, and others, more like dope-skater, or cowboys. It seems like Bakersfield is a toilet bowl for people here. They never go anywhere. There's the elite few who make it out of this town, and they're the lucky ones. I'm going to be a lucky one, because I'm not staying in this hick town.

There's great people here, but for the most part, its the same, stereotypical rednecks, who drink on a Saturday night, then wear their Sunday best, and sing Hallelujah with the rest of the choir the next morning. It's crazy how people justify their actions.

My grandma and I were just talking about how people justify their actions. It is pretty crazy.

SUCH. A. GREAT. POST.
I can't say I completely know the feeling, but I do know that I'd hate it.

I live in a modestly sized, middle class town in an upper class county a little north of NYC, but my friends and I always complain about having nothing to do, and take for granted the city's presence. Most of the population is composed of relocated city folks, with the occasional hicks and rednecks.

Anyway, I feel like without the city, I'd be trapped much like yourself. I don't even know if this post made sense, but best of luck to you- hope you find a way out
