Yeah.
That's "holler" living.
IF I ever go to a show.. I'll promise to talk WVian for you all ;)
I still fuck up and call the movie "Sleepy Holler" instead of hollow.. hah.
It's just a different world.
To get to my parents house... you have to drive by like 4-5 houses that are guaranteed meth houses... then like twice a year.. the copters drop toilet paper in the mountains.. to mark all the pot plants...
Again, just a different, wild world.
And people say "redneck" here in TX... but I try to explain to them.. you do not KNOW redneck or hillbilly until you've spent a few days in appalachia... I mean I still have some of these people on my myspace... and you see girls who are 25 like me.. with 5 kids already...and their wood paneling trailers and pit bulls...
THEN... you'll see their jailbroke iphone that they no doubt stole from WALMART... and their new baby daddy's vette that he drives...
We have a part of town back home that is strictly where the black community lives... and it is like trailers missing walls... or houses with foundation falling.. then you've got an irridescent Escalada parked out front.. with the doors that flip up...
And the owner is the same kid that got held back 4 times in high school...
The ghettos of your big cities have NOTHING on these holler dwelling people.
