Minnesota is the Center of the Earth.

Okay, so that’s not exactly true, at least for people that don’t live here. But it sounds good. :o)

Like a lot of people from Minnesota—from the Midwest really—I have a love/hate relationship with my state. There are a lot of great things about Minnesota: it’s beautiful, the natives are nice, there’s a good mix of city and country, etc. There are also a lot of crappy things about Minnesota: unpredictable weather, a southern conservative streak that can lead to politicians like Batshit Bachmann and Dim Tim Pawlenty, and roads that are either under construction or completely fucked. I’m sure there’ll be more Minnesota Love and some angry ranting coming out on this blog over the next few weeks, but for now it’s enough to get us established.

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about Minnesotans. People seem to think we’re all either Eskimo farmers or conservative soccer moms living in cookie-cutter subdivisions.

I’m here to set the record straight.

Stick around and see what we’re really like.
