"Why I hate living in Kentucky" - by Josh Yeary

afterthefact · 02.08.2008, 01:04 PM

I was telling this guy at work
about Evelyn Glennie yesterday
because -

no surprise

- he's never heard of her.

When I was done, he said,
"Oh yeah? That's nothin';
I saw a blind guy
who could toss horse shoes."

This is why I hate
living in Kentucky.

Who is Evelyn Glennie?

She's an amazing percussionist who also happens to be deaf.

there is a pretty cool documentary about ms glennie that captures her and fred frith playing in this massive abandoned sugar factory.

good vibrations

I love New Mexico personally; some of my fondest childhood memories come from living there.

albuquerque is a decent town, and cheap to live in. i'm just worried about the burglary rates.

i'm considering a new friend...

This would only really apply if I were jealous.
Jealous of living somewhere I would rather not live for the sake of a "comfortable living," all the while telling others that a simple solution to their own geographic dissatisfaction is to uproot their lives and move elsewhere.
