Been a while since anything was posted here….go through and count how many times I’ve said that over the years. People are whining that nothing is written, I don’t know why. What is the value, why do I need to post? That’s one question on my mind.

All right, last posting I said that I would elaborate more on trash. What am I talking about? I’m not sure exactly. I had some people asking me why I blog and who I blog to and what-not. The truth is, I don’t blog to anyone, nobody in particular, just to space. I do not know or have any control over who reads this content, and in most cases I don’t care who does. So a person who has seen my blog also has seen my Myspace profile and in turn has seen the people on my friends list. I don’t know who they were referring to but based on that they said that I blogged to trailer trash. I am going to try to walk through my thoughts on this.

I really need to know the definition of trailer trash, and it’s relative. The people that one might see as trailer trash is completely different than those who live in mobile home parks may see as trailer trash. Personally, I don’t know anyone who lives in a trailer, though I think it would make for a pretty cool little pad. When I think of trailer, I think of the flatbed and box trailers regularly seen pulled by a tractor or semi. Now, the flatbeds you would not actually live in, on would be the proper term. But the box trailers…this could make a nifty little dwelling for the single person if done right. Get those people from HGTV to design it up right….and you know, it would have more than double the square footage than some NY apartments have. I’m just saying.

So, let’s see here…Google?

Trailer park trash (or trailer trash) is a derogatory U.S. English term for people who live in trailers or mobile homes, especially in trailer parks, and lower-class whites in general.

Now that we have a popular definition I can respond. The question, why do I blog to trailer trash? Not everyone who reads my blog is trailer trash. The whole term trailer trash is a very skewed and unfair altogether. Just by being white(low-class…what are the variable to calculate that?), live in a mobile home, or worst yet live in a mobile home in a park does in no way make you any resemblance of trash. This term is being removed from my vocabulary. By definition, I was raised trailer trash, so I have nothing good to say in response to this question.

Well that just sets things in motion, the thought of why people are the way that they are. Not everyone, just those that you have ever stopped and thought; now why do they have to be that way? The guy at the Chinese Restaurant that is rude to the waitress because she is Asian…why does he have to be that way. The man/woman that discredits that you are of any value to society because you do not make X dollars per year, therefore do not contribute enough back into the economy to be of any value. The person that turns their nose up to you because you do not wear the same brand of clothing that THEY feel is appropriate. The person who went to school, or didn’t, and has a bit of knowledge about one thing or another and feels that warrants the need to make someone else look bad for not knowing. The person that looks down on you at a stop light because your car is 14 years old and they got theirs direct from the manufacturer last weekend. Why do they have to be that way?

Maybe their life has been really good. Maybe they had a great family life with active participation from both parents who showed and gave them everything, except God. Maybe they had parents that told them that they were better than everyone else, and maybe they were supportive of everything that they did. Maybe they grew up having and found it easy to look down on those without because they have never been there. Maybe they have never used food stamps. Maybe they have never been hungry enough to ask themselves, “I wonder what really does get thrown away at the restaurants or grocery stores?�? Maybe they grew up without any form of physical, mental or sexual abuse. I could go on and on with the maybes….and I have. But to make it easier I would like to hear back from those reading.
