"It's 46 degrees outside. I'm in shorts and a tanktop. I'm still going."

That was my train of thought 30 minutes ago. Anniston, Alabama is a very boring town. We have close to nothing to do here, so i make my own fun. I can go to the creek, take pictures, stay inside, ripstik...that's about it. Tonight, i can't go to the creek, there's nothing to photograph, i've been inside all day, so i wanted to ripstik. Sure it's cold, and i'm not dressed properly, but i could care less. It's all about the surroundings, that's why i love this town.

The sunsets here beat the beach sunsets by miles. The stars live in clusters and shine brighter than any city streetlights. I love the Anniston nights. I could sleep under the stars here. I have many times actually. Whenever i question my place in this town, why i ended up here, i can go outside and see billions of reasons why i should stay. I've been to DC, i've been to Seaside, i've been in other countries. Still nowhere compares to what i see here. I ignore the temperature.

If you want to witness this, i invite you to Anniston, Alabama. Come to my backyard and you'll see for once the reason i love this place.
