I lived the first 18 years of my life here, thought it was great, and it was. I moved to Texas for basic training and 5 months of tech school. Meh. Moved to Missouri for another 3 and a half months of training. Meh. Moved to California, which was where I wanted to be for God only knows what reasons. Liked it for about a DAY. Lived there for 4 years. Moved back here for college, and the only thing I can figure is Katrina effed this entire state. Baton Rouge used to be an AWESOME place, but ever since I've been back, this place has sucked DONKEY balls. I can't wait to leave, and this is coming from the same guy who used to think California was the epitome of rudeness and retardation. I still blame Katrina, though.
Blame what Katrina spread...who Katrina spread. The whole country got a good look at whats wrong with NO.
Pure trash being redistributed to the world, the liberals would have loved to plan Katrina.
In SW La we had a lot of complete devestation from Rita a month after Katrina...IIRC there was none or practically no , looting and crime. It's a NOLA thang...leave it there.
I ain't supporting the state , theres a lot wrong...but it's no different anywhere, this from me who has lived and worked in a lot of places. People are the problem and certain people are way more of a problem than others.
To live in a " perfect place " make plans for the future ...Jn 14 is a good start.
