I know that Northerners who come down to the South complain all the time that life moves too slowly down here and that no one ever seems to want to get anything done on time. Well, I've had an epiphany on the subject brought on by observations of myself and those around me. My sample includes native Southerners, Westerners, Northerners, and even people from other countries and I've discovered that regardless of a person's point of origin, living here in NC for a period of time causes one to become increasingly lethargic (especially this time of year) and I think I've worked out why: You see, it's just too fricking hot here to want to do much of anything! It's very hard to get motivated when you know you're going to work up a sweat getting from your house to your car... It seems like a much better idea in this situation to simply lie on your kitchen floor in your air-conditioned house and moan about the weather. In fact, I challenge everyone out there to move down here for a summer or two and try to maintain your fast-paced, highly motivated lifestyle. I think it may actually be physically impossible.
Aren't you all glad I figured this out for you? Now if I could just figure out why living south of the Mason-Dixon line makes you incapable of working a 4-way stop sign, we'd all be in better shape...
