I coulda swore Houston was bigger. Even though Dallas is higher populated Houston goes out about 30 miles. 40 with Conroe. WHen I lived there it seemed to be more than a slight tad more small or compacted.We have as many or even more malls, Throughout it's history Houston has hd 24 malls. 18 are still open.

Yes Texas has it's regions.lit's so big you couldn't possibly call it one state. Most mjor european countries Germany,France,Spain,UK,Italy could all fit into Texas with extra room. From East to West the driver is longer than from New York to Chicago. We have about 5 distinct regions..culturally. The East which is southern by mentality, South which might as well be Mexaci, West Texas is The Southwest and more related to New Mexico and Arizona. Now The Panhandle is North Texas, the lowest populated it almost Midwestern in mentality. And the 5th area Central Texas is the most Texan of all. It is not very interesting but has a mega amazing place called Austin in it. It's known for crazy people, Klansmen,Ft.Hood,The Bush Ranch and Branch-Davidians. Those are the 5 regions of Texas. FUnny even they are fuckin big and are bigger than what's considered larger states leik Pennsylvania Florida, and Illinois. Not only is the state hughe but it's right in the center of the country which put's it between 2 regions and at the bottom of the country is on an international border.


Rednecks and cowboys are a withering and almost gone species. 2 funny stores happened at the rodeo. Rodeo Houston happens once a year during Go Texan time. It's when half the people give uo their Calley Accents, suburban homes, Suits,Abercrombie, and SUVs and wear cowboy hats,boots,ride horses and eat BBQ.
Well most of that isn't all over Houston. Outside the wagon trail it's all at Reliant Park which holds The Astrodome. Hapening in a few eeks they usually pack a bunch of people in Reliant Stadium now and at the end they watch a country performer.

There's also a big fair, side shows,, food, and a petting zoo. Like too many Houstonians I'm not a old skool Texan. SO we were sitting next to this long horn steer and this "true texan" was also there. So I decided to ask him whata steer was since I can't tell the difference from a bull. He responded"Are you a Texan?" looking and me crazy. I'm like yeah but I'm a modern texan I didn't grow up around cows and horses. Well he told that steers are bulls with their balls yanked off. I was shocked.

As I mentioned it's about a 2 week festival and each nigh at the stadium there's a performer at the end. Since we are a big modern international city we have noncountry artists perform. There's 3 days. Rock-Pop day for the genereal music fans. Black heritage days where there's an R&B singer and/or a rapper. ANd Go Tejano day where there's a mexican or latin act playing. I went for Rock-Pop day cause Fergie was performning. I got of the light rail and when I got into the parking I noticed people with black hats on,leather jackets with fringes, and boots. I felt geeks out of place cause I thought this was some new fashion statement that I wasn't into. Then I tough"Aww Fergie is performing , it most be some Fergie thing." since people dress up like the artist they're going to see often. FOr instand you going to see Michael you wear one glove,a Beat It Jacket, and white socks. Hoing to a Prince concerts you wear a ruffled shit,a trenchcoat, a bikini, permed hair, sunglasses or some high heels. SO this has to be some kinda Fergie outfit. Infact she did wear a cowboy hate while performing. Then it dawned on me 2 days later I was at Rodeo and it was Go Western wear.

We rarely wear western wear.
