Being from the True South

So, Ellen DeGeneres wants to hit up on people from Florida because she has ancestry in New Orleans, which is even older.  Um, I like New Orleans.  I never knew about it.  I remember looking at it before I knew we were moving there.  I figured it was a bomb zone.  I was in awe of the partying and heard other places might celebrate but it's just there, Mardi Gras..must have been nice if you looked at it from the past.  I think I can read into a photo about something I should know about - doi.  All I can say is that the Floridian area is prized as a part of the New World, America, like L.A., I was thinking..er something to talk about, was gonna just say, "Ellen I luv you," because she happens to be from there and might respect my observations.  Any other takers, or are you just bitter and also probably addicted to how you feel where you're from..
