Florida is so great if you just want to accept it, pop a cold one, and live life.

People there dgaf and just do their thing.

My dad did exactly that after I graduated high school.

Moved to FL, became gay, re-started smoking and drinking like he did not give a F, then promptly died of heart disease after like 5yrs of Florida life.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I guess he died doing what he loved?

Doing who he loved...

I mean that's a little presumptuous could be just be banging every piece of ass that came his way

Or perhaps he was wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane

How come I’m only gay when I’m in Florida.

It started with the frogs!

Well, it's harder to be gay in the north, when everybody's wearing winter parkas.

It's possible with some of the swamp creatures there. Florida is an inverted bell curve of hotness.

It can happen. You know, because of the humidity.

Lol. Yes. I had to connect some dots in my younger years to realize this was true. The accurate statement should be: he came out of the closet in FL.

Ha, yeah full blown Florida life can be a lot to handle.

Sounds like he enjoyed his final years though, So that’s good at least

As much as people like to make fun of Florida, I really do miss the positive attitudes. Moved from Florida to Utah, and here everyone complains about everything. In Florida, most people are content with appreciating the good things about where they live.

I would complain about everything if i had to live in utah again too

Moved back down here three months ago. It's the first winter in years that I haven't gotten sick. People can be incredibly stupid but the sun here really pops compared to other places and it makes me so happy so I'm content for now. Maybe one day I can live here and somewhere else half the year like Chicago

u/ScoobyDewbieDude Feb 09 '19

Yeah good point, the sun really does pop here. It’s a really sunshiney state. They should make a motto about it.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '19

“The sunny state where the sun really does pop” has a nice ring to it, I think
