Day 61 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days

Day 61 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days -

I know that I've been a little slack in keeping up with a daily blog of the day posting - but it is really hard to dig deep and find the kind of blogs that I want to present. The original project was to solicit blogs that contain no porn, spam, rants, politics and angst - I was looking for "GOOD NEWS" blogs that reveal what's going on in people's life, your dreams - because I want to capture your thoughts that inspire, affirm, encourage, build up and speak life...

Here in West Nashville, there's a section of town called "The Nations" with the reputation of being a rough and tumble neighborhood and working class stiffs from industrial businesses in the area. Some would say those peoples living there are "White Trash".

Well I've been hanging out at Rooster's wonderful blog - Proud White Trash.com

Rooster explains: My mom tried to deny it, but the clues were everywhere: Trailer? Check. Dad who served at least one term in prison? Yep. Velveeta and Spam as a major food group? You betcha. We're not trash, my mother would always insist. We're poor, but we're proud. And thus began the separation of myself between two worlds: The Poor But Prouds, and the White Trash. It was a confusing, tumultuous time.

But today, I have triumphed. I have merged those two worlds into one, and am now, forever, and always: Proud White Trash.

This blog will explore that world, both my personal experiences and the experiences of others. There will be interviews, memoirs, analysis of traditions and societal expectations, and much more, all with a true fondness and appreciation for the White Trash among us, and within us.

Why can't we all get along? You'll love this blog - it's not a putdown, just a fun place to hang out... work on your car, talk a little trash, eat a little Spam, share a bag of Doritos and a 2-liter of Coke.
