Is it the Triangle-- or the Country? Why does it Matter?? (Durham: chapel, high school)

[veganwriter]

The Triangle is definitely booming.
I LIKE the changes in Durham that all the new people are bringing.
People who have the courage to move see what worked in their areas and what didn't and seem to be coming together with locals and creating some exciting new changes in the area.

BUT ... is it me... or does it feel like an awfully lot of people are SUPER concerned about things just just do NOT matter??

There's still a prevailing sub-content beneath the surface around picking on each other around very stupid stuff. I hear the remarks and wonder why so many ADULTS still sound like they're in High School.

What gives?
Are we living in a time where DRAMA takes precedence over actually confronting the personal issues in life that makes for higher qualities of life?

For instance... the "boys Vs. girls" dynamics .... At what age do people realize it isn't making them happier to be a war against the opposite sex??

And then there's Chapel Hill... an area filled with super intelligent people-- and assumptions.

What's beneath the surface of pettiness, distorted gossip, and irritation when there's so much dynamic possibilities right in front of our faces?

Did you have a Triangle-specific point to make?

Or ANY point, for that matter?

I am wondering if this might make a better blog post.

I'd like more specifics because I don't understand where this is going. Starts out positive then jumps into the negative.

You mean like a high school pep rally at 6:30 a.m. Well YES then.

Beige threads like this'n make me want to drive up and down the beige Cary Parkway and flick beige boogers at beige minivans.


Hmmm... maybe this is just a Random Thought?

Someone needs a Moon Pie and an RC, I do believe.

This is exactly what I thought when I read it.
