And how much of the country do you get out and see? You've written over 39,000 things on this website, it's unlikely that you ever get out and see anything at all.

Not always, it really depends on the city. I personally have been to almost all 50 states, and at least one city in each state. Though I do need to travel abroad more, but that becomes really costly.

There is this technology called Smartphones, and the amount I have posted here does not reflect what I do in my real life, I am more than plenty active, I just don't do much on the internet.

You don't do much OFF of the internet, you mean.

Typical Portlandia day...Smoked some weed, took your recyclables to the recycling center, went to the local market selling only organic produce, went to a rally supporting the Baltimore looters, mooned some churchgoers, took your excess income and gave to the homeless (who use it to buy their crack), and went to listen to some folk music.

Well that would be completely inaccurate guess. Nice try though, seems you believe all the myths you here.

Then you left with a misconception of the people in Portland with this broad brush you are trying to paint with.

Why so serious....have you seen Portlandia? It speaks to my Portland experience. Of course it is an exaggeration of the reality there...for the sake of humor
