I like to ride my bike.

or things that are bothering me right now:

  1. The assumption that the middle tier of states (I refrained from using the term ‘midwest.’ That term has apparently been hijacked and means ’sort of midwest, but really just next to the eastern seaboard.’) contains a bunch of uncultured, conservative farmers. Ugh. I can’t even tell you how much I hate stereotypes. I also can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if we have running water. Just because we tend to live in a more rural area doesn’t mean that we have been living in an underground fallout shelter for the last fifty years hugging our Eisenhower dolls while finally perfecting the art of butter churning.
  2. The aging sector of our population worrying about the future of the world given the state of the youth population in the world. I guess I’m really tired of my generation being undervalued. Yes, I understand that not everyone feels like that, but it’s comments that are made that push my buttons. I plan on being an accomplished contributor to our nation. Additionally, I know many, many people that plan on doing the same. Each person reading this could say the same thing. Either way, we’re going to network together a great time for the world. That is given that the baby boomers don’t ruin it first.
  3. Notorious members of movements not representing the true intentions of the movements (most likely using it for personal gain), but yet manage to taint societies views of the movement’s ideals.

    Re: #1, I am from the Inland Northwest, a part of the USA that only gets on the news for its history of problems of white supremacy groups. It is just human nature to streotype. There is too much information to know it all, so people make assumptions. When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. The only way i have found to change a persons’ sterotypes is to prove them wrong in every arena you can. Only through personal experiences can someone overcome their sterotypes.

    “Only through personal experiences can someone overcome their sterotypes.”

    True. But that is difficult considering we’re the “flyover states.”
