Easterly.

I’m currently residing in the hidden community or morrisville, nc. Don’t get any ideas that this is some hidden community tucked into some quiet beach and i’m writing this as the waves of the atlantic come crashing into the beach. Saying i’m in morrisville would be much like someone telling you that they are staying in Round Rock (always a good thing) as oppose to Austin. Morrisville’s “Austin” is Raliegh, so in the most round about way ever, i am telling you that i’m in Raleigh, NC.

From here, my next stop will be the town of lynchburg, VA. Its weird that you can be in a state, drive northward and actually get more southern. Let me explain. I’m not saying north carolina doesn’t have culture, its just that i can’t find it. North Carolina is bordered by south carolina (duh) and Virginia. Those two states are so rich in culture it leaves NC seemingly bland. The drive into VA is one of my favorites (i’ve made this drive many times in my life) because life in VA just seems different. Gone are the cookie-cutter one size fits all housing developments that are taking over Texas, enter colonial and plantation style homes covering sprawling green hills surrounded by tall trees.

Plantation style homes are quite possibly my favorite, and if i ever custom build a home will hopefully be able to create something like this. Nothing screams seersucker and lemonade quite like this kind of home. How fitting would it be if i lived in one these houses while working for exxon? I feel i would be forced to come into work with a cowboy hat and bolo proclaiming the fact that i ”sell awl (oil)”.
