New Mexico Is So Boring...

New Mexico is a medium sized state nestled between Arizona and Texas. It is also one of the four corner states and, with those two exceptions, there is nothing notable about New Mexico. Serious. The “Welcome To Our Very Humble State” Visitors Center talks about all the things to see and do...in Colorado, Texas and Arizona. The state's main attractions are all based on history – a not-so-subtle admission that the present is uninteresting. The state bird is the Roadrunner, a creature stolen from neighboring Arizona. The state motto is even less inspiring: “Grow as it goes.” Try waiting around for that. Yawn. If you're from the Land of Enchantment, please don't take this the wrong way; you're state was probably once very engaging. Probably. Maybe. Possibly. Anyway, today New Mexico is boring. Yes, boring. New Mexico is so boring...

...Illegal immigrants have been known to run south across the border.

...M.C. Hammer lost "it" in Albuquerque.

...It's biggest claim to national fame is to have sponsored a presidential candidate.

...It's biggest claim to literary fame is D.H. Lawrence. You can visit his ranch outside Taos and see a small painted urn with his ashes. It's five dollars admission.

...It's biggest claim to artistic fame is the Museum of International Folk Art, featuring beautiful sculptures made in places other than New Mexico.

...It's biggest claim to state pride is beating Arizona to statehood by a month. Die copper state!

...Nobody bothered to mark the border between Old and New.

...The only thing that is burned in effigy is a large paper mannequin.

...The designers of Route 66 decided this stretch of country was lonely enough.

...Most historical “artifacts” are actually just dead.

...Even the historical artifacts are bored.

You obviously are only entertained by things you can stick your penis in. Spend some time here, gain some knowledge, and pull your head out of your ass hole.

New Mexico is THE most boring place you will ever wish you HADN'T lived. Let me break it down for you:

1. Everybody is poor. No one has money here. Any job you can manage to find here you will get paid more for in another state.

2. There is no work here. None. EVER! Unless your last name is Hernadez, Martinez, Rodriguez...... BTW McDonalds and Wal Mart IS NOT real work.

3. The women are boring. And drunk. And hypocrites. And seriously lacking in brain cells. Trust me if you are a guy who takes care of himself, pays the bills, and wants a equal you immediately need to walk to the mirror and say F you!

4. Everybody has a criminal record. EVERYBODY! Even new born children.

5. It is very boring here. There is nothing here to do. So what if there is a bar down the street. So what, been there done that. Nothing you you haven't seen in any other city.

I moved from southern California (Palm springs area) to Las Cruces New Mexico.
Yup, this place is Boring. Only restaurants here are McDonald's and subways. the Mexican restaurants here serve horrible food and I miss California Mexican food. I miss the Pacific ocean so much I cannot describe.
I'll be hanging out in the SoCal beaches is coming up Summer. If you don't know how to entertain yourself New Mexico will make you unhappy.

Literally the most boring beige crap hole I’ve ever been in. If you ask the locals what there is to do, the ONLY response they have is hiking up a dry dusty brown mountain trail, going to a bar (not nice ones either) or eating at one of the million Mexican restaurants. I thought that Mexican food would be even better here than my native California but it is NOT. Too much cheese, grease, just super unhealthy and not fresh tasting. Most people are unhealthy looking as well. No diversity at all, just two main ethnicities. Nothing to do, few events, live music, etc. Your eyes start looking for anything green to look at cuz everything is brown and depressing. If you work in healthcare, easy to find a job but get ready to be severely underpaid!
