Hopeless



I decided to start a blog, attempting to convince my friends to move to Minnesota. All of you from Detroit/Flint/Indianapolis/Nashville/elsewhere, you know who you are and why you apparently hate me because you don't live near me.

I understand that most, probably all, of you will stay where you are or move to another non-Minnesota location someday. Because of this, my blog will hopefully serve one of two purposes:

1. Convince you to move to Minnesota. This is a small and hopeless possibility, but it won't stop me from trying.

2. Make everybody who doesn't move here feel very guilty for neglecting me and all that is Minnesota.


When the topic is brought up, every one of you gives a single excuse for not moving here. "It is cold!" Think of this blog as a pros/cons list of reasons to move to Minnesota. So far you only have one con, the weather. I understand people don't want to live in below 0 (Kelvin) temperatures, but hopefully you will be won over by the pros that I present.

Today's reason to move to Minnesota:
I live here (hopefully that is not a reason for you to not move here).

Meat Raffle!

In the wonderful land of Minnesota, I am crowned King of the Meat Raffle (more on that story later). You are most likely asking, "What is a Meat Raffle?" It is exactly what it sounds like,  raffling off meat . In the great state of Minnesota (and also Wisconsin (remember, moving to Wisconsin is closer to me than staying in your rotting meat state), which is next to Minnesota for those who are poor with geography) we know how to have a good time when at a bar, pub, or out to grab a bite to eat. Apparently we raffle off meat at the same time to increase the amount of good times had by all. I know this idea seems hard to grasp, so I will walk everybody through it. Some person unveils a table full of meat (everybody is in awe at this point). The host(s) informs everybody what charity, athletic booster, school program they are raising money for (giving money to good causes and possibly getting free meat for it is a good thing). The host(s) then walk table to table and stool to sto...

Cycles, Cycles, Cycles

After describing the amazing Pedal Pub to everybody, I decided to make cycles (in their many forms) be the next tangent for the foreseeable future (just to clarify, I do not mean unforeseeable, because I do know how many posts this tangent will contain). I know most of you were thinking after the last post (feel free to tell me what happens when somebody assumes), that gigantic quadracycle looked amazing, but how would that be a practical way to traverse the city, especially since you need 8-10 people to power it. This is correct, unless all my friends move to Minnesota, then we will always have an abundant supply of leg power. Well, do I have a solution for you. Bicycles. 2 wheels instead of 4. What a simple fix. Sure, each of your cities has bikes and many of you (hopefully) own a bike. I'm so glad for you, what a great accomplishment for your city (spoken in the tone when you demean somebody by saying "that's cute"). I did a little research (known as hanging ...

Mystery Science Theater 3000

All the cities that we live in have a history associated with them and some people have said that our history defines us. If this is true, and it is going to be true for my argument today, then we should take a long look into where we live and see if your city has something this great in its past. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K for the cool kids) is a show that ran from 1988 to 1999 and taught us all how to love life and to laugh once again. Every episode we visited our friends Joel, Mike, Crow, Tom Servo, Gypsy, Cambot, The Forrester's, Brain Guy, Bobo, the beloved TV's Frank, Trumpy, and so many more. These friends taught us one of the most important life lessons of all; it is good to laugh, not only to laugh, but laugh at the world around us. If you were sitting in a boring high school/college class, what better way to get through the class then to crack jokes (either silent or out loud if you had the courage). Was work incredibly boring, annoying, or tiring? How abo...
