Forbes has complied a list of Metropolitan areas in the US according to “The Seven Deadly Sins”.
Most shocking? The vainest city in America? Not Los Angeles. Not New York.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
(I know.)
I'm still trying to get stuff together for my trip (and still drowning).
I found out that I will be in Kent if anyone in the area wants to try and say hello and grab a bite to eat or something. I'm not sure we can get it to work, as details of this trip have been very vague, but I would love to try!
Let me know.
- #Being gone for five days takes a toll on the cleanliness of my house.
Right now it resembles a frat house after a big kegger, only without the beer bottles and panties strewn about and people sleeping it off in the bathtub.
- #So there was one downside to my whole weekend. Waiting a really long time for my flight home. I have a little letter to sum up the experience.
To the guy sitting three seats down from me who will not stop strumming his guitar and singing while waiting for his plane:
You are not as rad as you think you are. Shut the hell up.
Other than that? AWESOME trip. Recap to come. (I know, I know, but trust me...You'll like it more than Mikey likes his Life cereal. Even if you weren't there.)

For a place where many residents will not even say they are “proud” of their child because pride is a sin, that is kind of funny.
I was just laughing at how many times SLC popped up on that little map when you mouseover the various sins. And yet, here I live in Sin City and our only problem is that we’re a bunch of lazy fatties sitting on our butts watching too much TV.
I hate the presentation of the article on the Forbes site. They have the worst navigation possible to sift through that information.

None of those shock me about SLC, just take a look around and you can see envy (look at all the new houses that everyone has to be in, or that new truck, or the new atvs/snow mobiles…and for the nerds then electronic gadgetry)
Lust, not shocking…When I was single I lived in SLC and I knew this one guy who like never had a dry spell, plus the honest truth is I don’t think girls or guys are taught enough about sex to keep from getting in trouble.
Pride, I think this follows right along with envy - cause once you got all these new things you want to make you show them off.
Though I will admit shock that SLC is number 1 in Pride…

Very surprising - at first - and very interesting.
On second thought it was more interesting and less surprising.

Maybe that #5 ranking explains those Live Links, Quest, and Tango chat line ads I keep seeing on TV.

Yup, I’m surprised Salt Lake is on there at all. Certainly that it’s #1!
