Personal blog in every sense of the phrase. What's going on with me. It'll have my writing practice and progress and personal stuff as well. Always interesting, but maybe not always to the same people. :)
A lot of the state was kind of ticked off about it. Not so much that someone said all the stuff the guy that prompted this video said. We hear all that stuff all the time about us being ignorant hicks with straw in our mouths and wouldn't recognize culture if it crapped down our over-alls on the way to church. But the guy that said it had moved here from somewhere else, lived here for like 20 years, and suckled at the teat of an Iowa university, taking the state's money and then mocking the state and deriding it and us as back-water yokels. Lots of people were ticked.
Of course, if you weren't from here, you probably never heard any of it... why would you? It's not that big a deal really lol.

This may be the clean version, but the guy sounds really defensive. My view of a beloved place is to keep very quiet about it so nobody moves in!

OK. The guy sounds defensive because he is defending Iowa from the prof who had bellied up to the government trough for twenty years. I understand.
