Dear Readers, This weekend we went down to visit my brother at college. He goes to college at Concordia in Seward, Nebraska. Seward is about 30 minutes outside of Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska for you idiots out there who don't even know where Nebraska. While on the trip down I found a new love for my home state.
Right now I live in the middle of now-where. I live in the tippy top corner of Iowa, where everything smells like cow and pig manure, every window has a view of a corn field, and I have to drive 45 minutes to get to a city big enough to have a real mall. Life is hard here. Once upon a time I loved in Lincoln. After 5th grade my family decided to job, so my father could work at the cooperate office for Diamond Vogel (the paint company he has worked at for 23 years). I grew up in Lincoln. I love Lincoln. I love Nebraska. I love everything about it. Some people say that it is flat and boring and that every part of Nebraska looks the same. Well everything will look the same if you drive on the interstate, stupid-head.
The interstate in Nebraska goes along the river, and in the river valley Nebraska is extremely flat and boring. But once you get into the country that I know it is beautiful. Weekends of my childhood were spent driving out to my grandpa's farm to gather as a family, so I have been exposed to this beauty since a young age.
Many people after learning I was from Nebraska like to say that Nebraska is flat and stupid and boring. Well, if you think that you have seen all a state has to offer from the interstate then you are stupid, and you should know by now that you need to stop being stupid.
Nebraska is beautiful. If you doubt me, then I will force you to take a road trip with me and I will prove you wrong. (I would just trust me because I am almost always right, and I cannot guarantee that a road trip with me would be super fun.) If Nebraska isn't beautiful and plentiful then why did many pioneers settle there, why did Willa Cather write books about the country side (if you don't know who Willa Cather is grow a brain and emerse your self into good literature). Why is Nebraska the 8th happiest out of the fifty states if it is sooooo boring and flat? Huh? Can you answer that? (crickets chrip) Oh, no you can't. Well there is my point proven without a road trip.
Nebraska is beautiful. You cannot say anything about it if you haven't been there or if you have only riden on the interstate. Judge Nebraska by the interstate is like me judging all corgis by my friend's ugly, fat ass, greasy corgy (which I do so I hate all corgis, but that is another topic for another time). Not the be cliche, but it is like judging a book by its cover. You just do not do that, unless you are stupid. I sure as hell hope you know better then to be stupid.
So in conclusion, Nebraska is beautiful, and if you don't think so you are stupid. Offend my home state and I will cut you. Don't doubt it. Your words will come back to bite you. Stop being stupid and get your facts straight.
Forever and always a Husker
Lindsey
