Some people are just not that self aware and some people live in such closed little groups of people that they reinforce all their identities no matter how strange they are to someone on the outside. I live in northern Ontario in Canada and we’re considered pretty bland and simple up here … you could say we still have a lot of pioneer hold over from our older generations … because people like me can still say that I lived with my grandfather who was in the first world war and that my parents were born in the bush.
Anyways, I’m also friends with people in the south of Ontario which has a culture that is more Americanized and they live and believe in a whole different lifestyle and ideas that are far different than mine. Sometimes I’m made to feel like I’m talking to someone in the year 2100 and I’m stuck in 1990 … not that they’re smarter, they just think they’re in a better world than where I’m from. And in the rural areas, I feel like I’m talking to and looking at someone from Texas than from Canada.
