East vs. West

East coast vs West coast. No this isn't about a music war neither is it about bashing one or the other. This is merely a comparison of how the individuals differ in mentality. This blog is suppose to make you think about the types of individuality that is in this world. Never the same. Yet we always find followers.

If something I say in this blog offends you, I honestly don't care. My moto in life has always been, "have an issue, grab a tissue." So with all that being said let's continue.

I have lived a fair amount of my life in the east and west coast. Things that I have noticed over time really make me wonder, why such a big difference?

In the east coast or where ever you reside, you believe that the people in the west coast have, "the good life." They get to surf everyday and live a chill and easy going lazy lifestyle. You don't realize the truth till you live here, it can't be felt by a visit.

I think I want to do this "list style," just to avoid the paragraphs. I'm going to keep this short and simple.

West Coast Mentality
Fake - they act one way to your face and one way when you have your face turned. Also too much plastic surgery going on. Where is the true beauty?
Flake - never stick to their word
Shallow - they will not befriend or talk to people who are not socially desirable.
Not straight up - people can't take 'real talk' they get all sensitive and butt hurt.

East Coast Mentality
Straight up - this could be good or bad. Telling it how it is can get you in trouble, but they don't care.
Shallow - they don't call it that, its called having standards. Plus anyone will befriend a grenade if their personality is kick ass.
Flake - we have these every where but when they say 'I'm down' they won't change their mind.
They think they are better than everyone else - seriously people no one is better or worse.
They are shady

That's the list. Remember this is a generalization, some people will always be different from the rest. We just have to find them.

  3. it sounds more like cultural behavior. in this area, this is how people act. in that area, that is how people act. and over there, well...you don't want to get me started what goes on over there.

    sure, it is natural to observe our surroundings and want to fit in to a group/category, or not, but even that can be it's own independent category as well.

    are people fake? or are we witnessing cultural evolution and we set new stereotypes along with the new trends?
