“He found that people living on the east coast of America, especially New England, were relatively stressed, irritable and depressed, while those on the west coast were more emotionally stable, calm and relaxed. People on both coasts were, however, stronger on traits such as openness and imagination than people living in the central and southern states. Clustering has accelerated because America is such a mobile country.”
I’m going to have to go ahead and completely agree with this statement. From the years I’ve spent on both coasts, the western most one has such a better way of life. More peaceful, more open, and a focus on quality that just isn’t there in the Northeast. I know people freak out about NYC and how it’s the place to be, but give me a life that brings harmony instead of having to play king of the hill 24 hours a day.

Joshua Tuscan spills some thoughts here and they collect in a pool. I live in Seattle, btw.
I once cried because I couldn't draw a tree the way I saw it in my head... Granted, it was kindergarten, but it was a defining moment. One of my lifelong goals has been to
ride a horse through a shallow lake, seriously, it's in my grade school journal. I lived in Barbados for a while where I almost lost my toe, which has stood as a metaphor in
my life for that time. I watch a lot of movies and sometimes I fear that it is cutting into my ability to learn foreign languages. Oh yeah, I like to write beautiful, validated code. (More/Less)
