The South will rise again!

These two things happened a while ago...

Gummy and I were watching tv on Saturday and there is really nothing to watch. So I asked Gummy if he wanted to watch kipper the dog and he said no so I started channel surfing. While changing the channel he saw the football and said “stop, ball, ball” so I did and he soon lost interest. Then came the rodeo, he watched for a while and eventually lost interest. Then came nascar, his eyes lit up and he yelled “race car” then proceeded to watch nascar for a long time. I was suprized! Honestly rodeo, nascar and football how southern can you get!!! I’m a little worried he is going to start asking for chicken fried steak and grits. We need to move! Really I don’t mind the rodeo, I understand that its cool to see a bull throw someone off and football is ok but nascar could be the most boring thing ever!!! Really Gummy I hope you change your racing tastes to something more exciting like rally or formula one.

Whenever anyone asked what kind of music I liked I’d always say “lots of stuff, I just hate country.” Well I was sitting watching the Country music awards tonight and realized that I am really starting to like country music. Yeah I know weird right? I didn’t just not like country I hated it. So I thought back to when it may have started and I think I found the cause. Miss Cone! Yes that sweet girl was the beginning. At one of our many sleepovers we were fake emailing some boy and she made me listen to Cowboy take me away by the Dixie Chicks and I liked it. I thought at the time, no one will know, one song isn’t going to hurt you but like everything else it was the first step down the slippery slide of ya’lls, sexy tractors and honky-tonk-ba-donka-donks. After Kim there was Lone Star and she thinks my tractors sexy. Then I’d say 95% of the 30 roommates I had in college country was there number one choice music. One of them even taught me how to two step and turns out its way easier than swing and lots more boys can do it, which made it appealing. And then I moved to texas. And now I have FIVE country songs on my ipod and sometimes listen to country radio…please help.

  1. Dixie Chicks doesn't even count as country. Don't worry, you don't really like it.
