I've lived in MI my whole life. Glad to see I'm not alone

I can't speak for every one in Michigan, but I certaintly don't. To me, the phrase "midwest" would mean not the west coast, not the middle of the country, but somewhere in the middle between the two - I'd consider a place like Wyoming or Colorado the "midwest."
Michigan is much more "east" than "west." I don't see how it got associated with any kind of "west."
Here is how I see the country haha (low quality chop):
Dude, where's the south!?@?@?
