I need a second here to go on a little rant...
Don't get me wrong, I love where we live. But at the same time, this place makes me bonkers.
Let me clear up a few things for you...I don't care what kind of car you drive, I couldn't care less how big and nice you think your house is, I really don't care if you know Mr. & Mrs. Smith but I don't, and I don't for the life of me understand why you think you're so entitled.
I drive a Ford Freestyle. It's not the nicest car in the world and I don't love it, but it has nice amenities and it gets me from Point A to Point B. Don't judge me or make stupid comments about my whip.
Yes, I live in a town home. This does not make me white trash. We bought our house at the height of the market, thinking it would serve us well in the long-run. Turns out, things crashed right after that. I'm really happy for you that you live in a bigger, nicer house...but I'm not the scum of the earth because of where I live.
I don't care if you know every Tom, Dick and Jane out there. I am very happy with my group of friends and the acquaintances that I have. But honestly, I don't care who you know. I do find it humorous when you question how I might know someone and you don't. Again, who cares?
Also? I believe that you should work hard for the things that you have. Life, and the materialistic crap that means so much to you, doesn't get handed to you on a silver platter. So stop thinking that you deserve the moon and the stars, just for being you. Get your rear out there and work for the life and the things that you desire. Maybe it's the mid western-er in me, but I believe that's how you get the life you want....good old fashioned hard work.
I know there are people like this all over the country, but I have not experienced this prior to moving to the Roaring Fork Valley. I continue to be shocked and amazed at how much people care about these things. And honestly, I couldn't care less. Maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't think so.
You? You enjoy your never-ending quest to find happiness. Just a hunch, but I think you're looking in all the wrong places.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest....I feel much better.

Wish there was a 'like' button!
ReplyDeleteJason just recently took all the hubcaps off the Saturn SL1. It looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Maybe you and I should take a little roadtrip up to Aspen this weekend. I could show you off in my ride and we could laugh and point at all the ticky tacky people in their fancy cars and big houses and fur coats (animal killers!).
And no, I'm not bitter at all. Just trying to exude confidence while in my wee little white POS car with it's POS black wheels. Because I worked for it and I'm going to drive it into the friggen' ground (thank you financial aid)! ;-)

And here I thought your Freestyle was fancy! :) I hear you! We get the same thing in sunny JoCo.
ReplyDeleteLove you guys! Kelly Grist
