Hometown

[Yoyoma1910]

I'm from New Orleans. Which is a fantastic land of awesome, surrounded by magical swamp land.


I am about 1800 miles from there, though.

Do you not like your current home?

Rural for Low countries standards. In other words every so often you have a few trees or some cows. But actually there's only one guy from my home town I still meet. For the rest I can't see a reason I'd stay. Most probably I'll move to just outside of a medium sized city (not a too big and bussy one, but one which does have all you need and where there's stuff to do). I might miss the close by forrests. But the one near us, though few people these days still know it, actually was a dump for nasty chemical garbage back in the 70's and is the only thing between us and a bunch of factories. So I'm sure to move when I'm finished with studying and having a job. Probably to the town my uni is at.

I do not have a hometown. Only lived in the place of my birth for 6 months (though returned later for 2.5 years). Since then, I have identified myself as being 'from' Cleveland and London at different points in my life, but now I'm not from anywhere; I just live places.

My home town sucks. It's conservative suburban, no kids after 9pm kind of town. There was an arcade, but people thought that would promote drugs because if there is more then 10 kids, then drugs will start being passed around. Now the only fun place left is a TGIF's. Luckily I'm back in uni, so I don't have to put up with all of that.

UGH. This is the kind of idiocy that makes me want to go postal. Youths require stimulation and safe social areas, take away that and they get bored --- recipe for disaster.

I was born in Manhattan, but moved around a bit until I settled down in Atlanta when I was three, so I regard this as my hometown.

Honestly, I hate this place. After sixteen years here, everything is grinding my gears. The people, the weather, the community, the stores, my family. God I cant wait for college. Only one more semester then Im outta here!

Incidentally, people are outraged when they found out that the police had to arrest over a dozen kids who were passing out ecstasy to people at their high school. Then they blame everything but the fact that the town has nothing for them.

This is the life of kids below 16 years old at my hometown.

1. Go to movies.
2. Hang out at Starbucks (the police won't let you after 9pm anymore).
3. Hang out at borders (police won't let you there either).
4. Stay home and play xbox live with your friends all day.
5. Do drugs.

I chose 1, 3 and 4. But it is not surprising that freshman and sophomores who are bored choose 5 as well.

My hometown will soon be overrun by Mexican drug cartels, so I'm pretty glad don't live there anymore.

The area itself is lovely with a classic English rural feel to it. Regrettably however the area has attracted a lot of "new money" the past couple of years, basically young people who have made lots of money early on so feel some sort of dignified right to everything in life. I guess some of the places 10 minutes up the road are worse, that place is pretty much the richest place in the UK outside of London and the members of the Manchester United team make up what seems a large portion of the population, although that's probably due to the high visibility they demand when going about their daily business.

If the people weren't there I would love it though, I always have had an infinity for nature. I guess my university city has filled the void though considering I can experience the joys of a city with the peak district within walking distance.

Good times.

If I could choose, I would be back home. But for now this place is not so bad.
