You know you're a redneck if...

So, a lot of people call themselves (and call others lol) rednecks but very few people actually know what a redneck is. Lucky world! You've got me here to give you the definition! :D



You know you're a redneck if...

1.) You are sad because you only own 10 AR-15's.
2.) Refined and sophisticated beer is Budweiser or Budlight.
3.) You can tell a story about every dent you have on your Toyota Tacoma.
4.) You are worried about the front of that same Tacoma after you hit a deer (who cares about the deer?!).
5.) Dinner is 3 shots of whiskey.
6.) Dessert is tequila.
7.) You have to really search through your closet to find clothing that isn't camo.
8.) You are actually excited when the Zombie Apocalypse hits, because that means the 50 cal. machine gun will be put to some good use.
9.) Haircuts are something for only civilized people.
10.) Your entire property is rigged with barbed wire fences and boobie traps for unsuspecting victims.
11.) You don't have a sign on your front gate warning visitors to "Beware of the dog". Instead, you tell them to "Beware the owner".
12.) Every corner of your home has a rifle (or two or three) leaning in the corner.
13.) A hunting trip turns into a severe hangover. ("Somebody" forgot to take the beer out of the back of the pickup.)
14.) You don't actually hunt. You drive into the middle of nowhere and then sit in the truck, waiting for any unsuspecting animal to cross your path.
15.) You have a reputation for shooting anything that moves.
16.) You've had this reputation since you were a child.
17.) Your grandpa has made you eat everything you killed since you were two.
18.) Your first bite of food was rattlesnake. (You killed it.)
19.) You can't understand the way a "civilized" person thinks.
20.) You base a person's character off of the kind of truck they drive. If they don't own a truck, then they shouldn't be taking up space and air on this earth.


Well, I hope this helps. Granted, this only covers the basics but it's a start, right? :D lol
See you guys next time!

I'm joining NaNoWriMo!!!




I am officially a part of a national group of writers! Today was the kick-off party for my region and I learned a ton about this great "contest". Follow this link to learn more about it. www.nanowrimo.org  

Anyways, I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to finish this challenge in 30 days but I will be getting some great support from my online "writing buddies" as well as from my friends and family, so I'm very hopeful. :)

I'll be writing a novel about Anne Bonny and her part in the Golden Age of Piracy. I'm writing it as historical fiction so some of it will not be necessarily true. Now, we all know about those terrifying female pirates!!! The ones who told their husbands at the gallows, when they left their wives to fight alone, "I am sorry to see you here, but if you had fought like a man, you need not have hanged like a dog." Very powerful words! They show a fighter's soul underneath and I will do my best to capture that spirit.

Well, I'm sorry for such a short post, but I've got to go start writing. :) So, wish me luck!
