  Everyday I wake up and thank my lucky stars that I’m not in Kentucky. There are just some places that I would rather never have to live or visit if at all possible. But Michael, don’t you live in Tennessee? Yes, and Tennessee is very much different than Kentucky. &nbsp; For starters Tennessee simply sounds cooler than Kentucky. The name Kentucky is way too broken and sharp to the ears. Tennessee on the other hand flows out of the mouth like water from a fountain. Kentucky has horse racing which is a sport that I really enjoy watching, but Tennessee has every other sport and has them in massive quantity.
Tennessee is not really too awful much like the rest of the South. I have lived in this state all of my life and have found that an extraordinarily high number of Northerners choose to make my state their home. Williamson County is the 11th wealthiest county in the entire United States. Kentucky, on the other hand, still has to deal with incest jokes and abject poverty. So, after all of this, my point. I want to live in New Zealand. &nbsp; I was looking online today for real estate to purchase. Not that I have any money, but winning the lottery is always a possibility. At LandAndFarm.com I stumbled across a 20 acre tract of land with beautiful views of pristine New Zealand countryside. I then realized that this is the place where I want to live the rest of my life. Enter Amanda and her naysaying. &nbsp; Amanda would never live in New Zealand because it has no “literary” history. I’m still not even sure what that means, honestly.
I’m sure that people in New Zealand write books. They probably even have libraries come to think of it. This is one of the most terrible and ill-founded arguments that she has yet to come up with. I went into my diatribe about nature and the calm that such natural beauty would bring to a person. She then told me that she likes nature(Amanda doesn’t like to go outside when the temperature is above 75 degrees), but New Zealand is just too far away from everything.
Getting away from everything is the point that I was trying to make to her. &nbsp; At that very moment I realized that I will probably live in Tennessee for the rest of my life. And while I can think of worse places to spend my time, I can also think of about a million places better than Tennessee.
