OREGON PEOPLE (also referred to as Oregonians, Oregonites, and Oregeishans)
We are in Oregon, the best state in the US, which means we have skiing in the east, farm country in the valley, wine country in the south, skiing (again) right smack in the middle, the ocean out to the west, and not too many suburbs since we have urban growth boundaries, take your pick.
The Rose Festival includes the largest all floral parades in the country.
P-town is the City of Roses.
Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the country.
We can drink any city/state under the table. We have more microbreweries per capita than Germany! (i.e. we have a better night life than you!)
We have more ghost towns than any other state - yeah, we're pretty spooky.
We don't have to pump our own gas.
We don't have sales tax, either.
Average Precipitation - 37" (less than Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston or Seattle - and without that nasty humidity) - Take that!
More people drink Pabst Blue Ribbon in Portland than anywhere else in the US.
Rogue Ale Brewery, Full Sail, Pelican Brewery, Widmer, Deschutes Brewery and so much more! So many choices... so many beers... again with the best night life...
We can hit the club, drink at a friend's house, go to the beach, and go skiing all in one weekend, year round.
We have the country's leading clean-air mass transit system for all those who care about breathing...
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpson's is from P-town and his father's name is Homer.
We know how to drive, period.
Tillamook cheese is the shit! yeah we have our own ice creamery and its so good.
We have The Original Pancake House.
All of you played the Oregon Trail computer game and drowned your oxen on purpose... and you know it.
Winter and spring may cause you to rust, but the summers average around 80/90 with no humidity.
We take snow days whenever because it's always snowing on Mt. Hood.
TV shows about rich kids whining haven't got shit on The Simpson's. Oh and don't forget The Shining..."Here's Johnnnnyyyy!!" ... that was filmed at Timberline Lodge. One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest was filmed in the State Hospital in Salem. And Animal house was filmed in Eugene/ Cottage Grove Oregon. Kindergarden Cop, The Goonies, Short Circuit, Free Willy, Chuthlu, and The Ring 2 were all filmed in Astoria. And dont forget The Hunted and The Post Man were also flimed all over in Oregon. Bandits w/ Bruce willis and Billy Bob Thorton filmed in Oregon City!!
The Beaver State.. (Oh you know Beaver)
Its Always Green.
Fuck Blue Crab... Dungeness Crab is the shit, no butter necessary.
We have Crater Lake, America's deepest lake and Hells Canyon, the world's deepest river carved canyon.
We don't have an accent. --- It is True!!
Every time you see one of the Trail Blazers, not on the basketball court, they are high.
We can't blame them, Oregon herb is famous world wide.
We get off school for one inch of snow.
Our crab is better than Maine's lobster.
We have the best Shakespeare Festival in the world.
Two Words: Medical Marijuana
Oregon is the only state where you will have to switch between AC and heater several times during the day!
We don't puss out when it rains. shit it will be over in 5 minutes anyway. We never walk with umbrellas either. When we see people walking with them, we know the must be from out of town.
We know how to say "Oregon" haha (it's Or-a-gin with the G sounding like a ga not a ja.)
Nike was invented at the University of Oregon ("GO DUCKS") we are also refered to as the Nike University.. cuz good ol' Phil Knights damn built half the damn school :)
OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY JUST WON THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES! BEST BASEBALL TEAM IN THE NATION!!! GO BEAVERS!!!
We have the most mild/perfect seasons. winter=snow, summer=hot sun without the humidity, spring=rain and pretty flowers, fall=beautiful falling leaves
Portland's major export is athletic wear: Nike, Columbia Sportswear, and Adidas-Solomon all make their homes in Portland. Plus we have world-class skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, windsurfing, kayaking, hiking, and rock-climbing. Oh, and the Burnside skate park is featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
I want to meet that one girl... The one who makes me nervous every time I see her even after I've known her for for years
The girl who makes me feel like I'm the only one
Who's eyes I can look into for hours and everything around just disappears
right now im really into slam poetry! if you know of any slam poets performing in portland please tell me and id love to go see them

Whistling Gypsy came over the hill,
Down thru the valley so shady;
He whistled and he sang
til the greenwood rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
He whistled and he sang
Til the greenwood rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
2. She left her father's castle gate,
she left her fair young lover;
She left her servants
And her estate
to follow the gypsy rover.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
She left her servants
And her estate
to follow the gypsy rover.
3. She left behind her velvet gown,
And shoes of Spanish leather;
They whistled and they sang
Till the greenwood rang,
As they rode off together.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
They whistled and they sang
Till the greenwood rang,
As they rode off together.
4. Last night she slept on a goose feather bed
With silken sheets for cover;
Tonight she sleeps
On the cold, cold ground
Beside her gypsy lover.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
Tonight she sleeps
On the cold, cold ground
Beside her gypsy lover.
5. Her father saddled up his fastest steed
And roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter
At great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
Sought his daughter
At great speed
And the whistling gypsy rover.
6. He came at last to a mansion fine,
Down by the river Claydee
And there was music
And there was wine,
For the gypsy and his lady.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
And there was music
And there was wine,
For the gypsy and his lady.
7. "He is no gypsy, my father" she said
"But lord of these lands all over,
And I shall stay
'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover."
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
And I shall stay
'til my dying day
With my whistling gypsy rover."
Today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today
Ill be a dandy, and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
I cant be contented with yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today...
yay im loved :]

UNTITLED
Thinking back to elementary school I remember the first word that I learned to spell, and till this day its my favorite word to spell out loud.
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
After that we learned our first song, the pledge of alligence.
~I pledge alligance to the flag of the united states of america.
I remember our teacher would make us recite this song like clockwork every morning.
~and to the republic for which it stands
I still dont know what republic that is
~one nation, under god
Because of course there is only on nation under god, no other nation met the prerequisites to qualify, and there is only one TRUE god.
~Invisible
okay, I know its supposed to be indivisible, but i just dont consider america indivisible especially when only about 1/2 of the country voted for bush and even less that that amount thinks our wars are necessary.
~with liberty
well except the liberty to love and marry who you want.
~and justice
well sometimes people get justice, but we all know what happens when you have lots of money
just ask OJ.
~for all
Unless your illegal, becuase then you are not included in that part. Becuase no matter how hard you work, if your illegal, your still worth less than any american.
This is the first peice of BULL SHIT I ever learned.
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
From there it all went downhill.
~ive never learned history or culture of any other country in school, but at least i know who shot kennedy.
Why is culture so bad and Calculus so important.
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
~In 1st grade we learned sharing, that if there is only one toy you share it, but since there is only one world we must fight, pillage, and conquer till you own every peice of it.
~We learned to not take revenge and to forgive unless a few people hurt your country, then you can not only destroy them but also their whole country at any cost...
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
~from there we learned to use our words instead of our fists.
Unless of course we need to show off our bombs just to make sure people are afraid
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
~Then to use our inside voices unless you have an argument in the govt, then its okay to scream and boo as much as you like.
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
~And lastly to respect everyones differences becuase they make us all so special
~Unless they come from a different country, then its okay to criminalize them and force them out of your country.
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
A country of oppertunity for the LEGAL, freedom for the US BORN, and justice for all its CITIZENS
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
