The Sunshine State

I was in Florida this past weekend. I arrived Saturday morning and was back in NYC by Monday night.

I never understood why I never like going there, but when I got there last weekend It actually hit me like a head on collision.
  1. It's way too damn hot.
  2. You need a vehicle to go everywhere. (In new york we get somewhere in minutes, were not based on hours or miles.) 
  3. The tap water tastes like something died upstream and was decaying in it.
  4. Most individuals believe in labels.  
Don't get me wrong, I like good stuff, expensive stuff, quality stuff but I don't spend my last dime on name brands and cant afford my rent.

There's a possibility because I visited homes in Ft. Pierce, Port St. Lucie, West Palm Beach & Miami that I may think this way but people need to get their priorities in order.
 
There's a lot of people without homes, individuals who cant afford basic health care, people who cant afford transportation to get to work to feed their family, and no parks or recreational facility in the area for kids to past their time to learn some basic skills and excel in creativity. In my opinion that's where people should be spending funds on or donating their time.

Don't even get me started on those St. Jude Children's Research Hospital advertisements..

But not everyone thinks like me, nor will 1-Person change the world so I'll just rant about it online then email a letter to my local congress representative and senator.

However, The best part about the trip was seeing a lot of trees, smelling fresh air, drinking bottle water, the food and hanging out with family.
