Back from Branson

I’m finally home from vacation. Branson is pretty much the same as it was last time we went. It’s not my favorite place, but my Mom likes it, and she likes to have the whole family there. Overall I had a good time.

We went on some scary ass roller coasters at Silver Dollar City, took a cave tour at Silver Dollar City, fed tigers at the tiger sanctuary, went zip lining, rolled down a hill in a “hamster ball”, rode many go carts and bumper boats, went to a few shows, and ate way too much food.

Then there are the things that annoy me about Branson.

Branson is just too conservative, Christian, and country for me. I always feel out of place there. We went to a few shows, and they were good, but every one of them had their “God” moment. It was kind of annoying. For some reason the Christians there feel defensive, and they think Branson is the only place that they can be proud. I hate religion being pushed on me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for anybody practicing their religion. I will defend your right to practice your religion to my death, but don’t push it on me. The religious sections of the shows just made me leaving with a bad taste in my mouth.

They also love their veterans in Branson. There is nothing wrong with that, but Branson goes overboard with it. I appreciate everything veterans have done, I lost an uncle in Vietnam, and my Dad is a veteran, but sucking their dicks on every corner is a little much. This may sound insensitive, but military people are just doing the job they signed up for. Sure their job is dangerous, but many other professions are also dangerous, and just as important. Veterans get a lot a praise for doing their job, and while they deserve it, they often get too much praise in my opinion, and hearing about how great veterans are multiple times a day, every day, really gets old.

I’m glad to be home. A week is a long time to be gone. Now it’s time for me to catch up on my internet now that I got one that works at a reasonable speed.
