10. I Can See Better than Bubbles : I sometimes wonder if life would be better if you didn’t have to see all the horrible things in it, but I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t. When bubbles is asked, “How many fingers am I holding up,” his reply is “You know I don’t like that game.” I can see this funny charade, and that gives me a reason to live.

9. I don’t have to defraud the government : As fun as it would be, I don’t have to defraud the government in order to survive. I have a close support group so that I never have to go hungry. So anytime I take advantage of the government, it is totally for pleasure, like a hobby. That is a great reason to live.

8. I don’t have to make money with using absurd money making schemes : When I think about my finances, I usually go for the approach of figuring out where I can apply my skills to make money. Unlike Ricky and Julian, who seem to have the right idea of putting their all into an idea, but don’t have the capacity to come up with good ideas.

- Bubbles takes old shopping carts and resells them to other stores.

- Running a club in J-Rocs Moms Trailer

- Stealing groceries and selling them to your trailer park neighbors

- Home made porno movies

- Selling stolen gasoline

- Rap concerts

- Growing weed inside, outside, everywhere

- running a prostitution ring and many more I am sure I am forgetting.

So that is an even greater reason to live…viva CricketSoda.

7. Canada isn’t really that bad of a place to live : Everytime I read into politics or what our crazy country is trying to do in the world, I get a strong desire to move to another country. The problem is that I want to move somewhere better than Denton Texas. Growing up we are always thought to think of Canada as in icicle, with nothing important enough to learn about up north. This show could really change that for a lot of people.

Not to mention all the great music coming out of Canada at the moment. The Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and the like. So I could move to Canada? Sweet ass.

6. Getting smokes is easy : Smoking is expensive, but all you really need to do is yell, “lets go, smokes,” at some inspecting younger pot head.

5. I love Bubbles : Bubbles keeps it real. He is all about the important small stuff in life. He keeps it simple, living in a shed, feeding his kitties. That is what life is all about, keeping it simple, and loving your friends. Bubbles exists, another reason to live.

3. I left the trailer sluts back in high school : I swear I knew girls just like Lucy and Sarah back in high school. They lived in the trailer park, and even had similar names. It can be fun to hang out with them when your young and have nothing better to do, but I never made them my babies momma, and that gives me a reason to live.

2. My car has a door : I get tickets all the time for no inspection and other dumb stuff like that. I couldn’t image how many tickets I would get driving something like Ricky’s car without a door. My car may not have air conditioning, but it does have all the doors still attached. If it isn’t a reason to live, it is at least something that helps me continue to live.

I don’t live in a trailer park : All the drama is fun to watch on television, and even though the show elaborates the characters quite a bit, people like that do exist in trailer parks all over the world. I remember one night at a party, when a one particular girl, famous for her empty threats and screaming throughout the trailer park, busted in half naked, drunk, screaming. She ran over to the keg, flipped it over, breaking the tap, screamed one last time and left. A loud peeling out sound came from the driveway, and an eerie silence fell over the party.
