Many people, out there, who are well, acquainted, with America, have probably heard, the term, the American Heartland. Those though, who are ignorant, acquaint it, with what, some, refer to, as, the Bible Belt; a region, in America, believed, to mainly, encompass, the States, of Ohio, and Oregon. A region, believed, to contain, Bible thumping, Americans, segregating themselves, from the rest, of society, and awaiting, the second, arrival, of Christ. It is not so; as mentioned before, it is the ignorant, who believe this.
The American Heartland, really, refers, to a space, any space, where, Americans, of all sorts, are free, to act, wildly. Thats kinda like, the modern interpretation, of it all. Traditionally though, the American Heartland, referred, very much, to the, uncharted lands, of America. By uncharted, it is meant, that, they did not, show up, on any, cartographers, map, and was, also, very much, a region, politicians, heard about, and simply, nodded their heads, in an amazed, and musing, manner. The first region, to ever, be called, the American Heartland, was the, central region, of America, itself. It was here, that the so called, first Americans, interacted, wildly, if not, violently, with, so called, marauding, Indian tribes. This is, important, to know, as the, American Heartland, gave birth, to the first, group, of Americans: Americanistas. This was mainly so, as the, uncharted, American Heartland, was kind of, a crazy place, where startle, and fright, were always, around, the corner. If it was not, a so called, marauding Indian, startling one, then it was, a Bison, giving rise, to fright, in one. But all that, is mostly, folklore, and this version, of, Americanista origins, cannot, fully be depended on. Marauding Indians, so called, like the Cherokee, knew Quantum physics. There is another, version, of Americanista, origins, and very much, has to do, with another, uncharted region, of, American space; the Wild Wild West. It was here, that sharpshooting, cowboys, some often, referred to, as lowriders, interacted, startlingly, and with fright, with each other, and with visitors, often, from Mexico. Remnants, of these cultures, have survived, to this day, and the most common, are the, Rodeo, Kayaking, and even, Trekking [often, on a global scale]. Trekking though, was also, often, very much done, on what, they called, the high seas, and was, referred to, as, Seafaring [Billy Budd style]. One simply, jumped, onto a ship, no sailor experience needed, and through, startle and fright, became, an excellent sailor, and, Americanista. This is mentioned, particularly, for Americanista parents, who wish, to ensure, that their Kids, grow up, Americanista, in an America, filled, with Americans, and Americanos. Fishing too, is very much, an Americanista activity, often associated with, startle, and fright.
Becoming Americanista:
Americanistas, are important, to America, despite what, Americanos, and Americans, might believe. The main reason being, they are the originators, of a culture, which inspires, American, Americano, Citizen, and even, Americophile, cultures. The Americanos, had Bugs Bunny; the Americans, had Br'er Rabbit, and both, originated, from, Uncle Remus (Americanista). It is, Americanistas, that create, a common culture, that unites, all, kinds, of Americans, together. Thats what, they really do; they make Life, in America, seem grand. An example, a good one, of this, is the, Inauguration ceremony, of the President, of the United States, of America. Americanistas, used to do, that stuff, really well. One of the areas, to kind of see, Americanista, influence, on the lives, of all kinds, of Americans, is in, the arena, of comedy. Different Americans, have different, ways, of expressing humor. Americans, have what, they call, improv comedy; a comedy, made famous, by the likes, of, Eddie Murphy. Its a comedy, where one, takes in, material, and kinds of, presents it, in a, different light. Americanos, have what, they call, slapstick comedy; a comedy, where one, exposes himself, and other Americanos, by putting themselves down. An outsider, might believe, the comedian, engaging, in this kind of comedy, has issues, but in reality, what he or she, is saying, is that, we (Americanos), have issues. Redd Foxx, did, slapstick. Citizens, originated, what they call, stand-up comedy. Stand-up, is a form, of comedy, where by, one jumps, around, like a cartoon really, while putting down, others. Richard Pryor, did, stand-up. You also have, sitcom (Situational Comedy), which is really, associated, with, Americophiles, and is kind, of well known. The Fresh Prince of Bela-air, was sitcom. And all these forms, of comedy, orginated, from the Americanista, Cameo. Cameo, is a kind, of complicated comedy, as it, encompasses, all the fore mentioned, forms, of comedy. It is a kind, of, situational comedy, where one, is put, on the spot, and has to, come out, of the situation, creatively, and filled, with humor. Cheech and Chong and Tommy Chong too, are Cameo. Today, Cameo though, is often, associated, with award shows, where by, someone famous, shows up, and kind of, cracks jokes and stuff.
Becoming, a bona fide, Americanista, requires, some training. After all, its all about, making, Life, look grand. Bigger than life itself. At the heart, of all this, is the study, of Art, from a more or less, religious, perspective. Any form of Art really, from around, the world. However, this study, is not, really religious, as in, pointing out, right and wrong; example being, reading, a piece of, literature, and judging, a character, by his doings and motives, as being, right or wrong. Americanistas, judge Art, as being, absurd, or not absurd. Thats what, making life grand, is all about; knowing absurdity, when you see it. Thats kinda why, Americanista Art, is higher, than that, of other kinds, of Americans. A prime example, in absurdity, was when, President Reagan, decided, to bomb, Libya, Gadaffis home specifically, when Gadaffi, was in it, as a warning, to Gadaffi, about, supporting terrorism. It was absurd really, in that, it came out, more, as a, terrorist act, and in the end, made Gadaffi, really popular, and an act, that led, to the rise, of Anti-Americanism, all over, the world. It was all, really, something, that one, would have expected, Bugs Bunny, and pals, to do.
As it is well known by now, there are, three kinds, of Americanistas: Legends, Materialists, and Libertans. Training, to be any of them, is rather different, in nature. Legends, are all about, making, the impossible, happen. And their lives, really, are very much, like that, seen, in a good, movie. For those, wishing, to become, Legends, two things, are recommended: first, the study, of biographies, and other, such material; second, the study, of movie making, as making, a movie, a good one that is, is not, too different, in thinking, as doing, the impossible, out there, is. For Materialists, two things, are of importance: one, the study, of cultures; two, the making
[or even listening], of musical symphonies [example being movie soundtracks]. The whole idea, for Materialists, is to come up, with grand ideas, to improve, cultures. Thats all, they do. As for Libertans, they are a people, who engage, in what, they call, Social Work. Social work, differs from, social service, as the latter, is all about, augmenting, Government, and Governmental, services. Social work, is different though, as it is, all about, making, others, more civilized, in their, behavior. Creating social policy, introducing new cultural practises, or even, new kinds, of constructs, is what, Libertans, are really, all about. An example, of a new, kind, of construct, is, the sports club. The sports club, is not, only, a place, where, people, get together, to play, all kinds of sports, but also, very much, a place, where, civilized discourse, ranging, from politics, to health, is carried out; all, in a civilized, manner. Other than this though, Libertans, at their heart, really study, Art work, and are often, Art collectors. However though, their main study, is in, photography, and including too, the producing, of photographs. Thats kinda about it.
