Thoughts From L.A....

So I've been in LA for a day now, and I must say that this experience is so much different from the one I had a year and a half ago when I visited NYC. First of all, this is the biggest city I have ever been to in my entire life. Never was I overwhelmed by new york, mostly because of the efficency to which you can travel around the city but also because, despite the population, it isn't that much bigger than most cities. LA is to cities as Texas is to Rhode Island. It's massive. There is so much to take in and decide when moving here that I don't know where to begin. So, as it were, I'm sitting here 55 miles south of LA at the pool at my friends apartment complex with a bud contemplating my experience today. I was a little culture shocked coming here from new york but I am slowly decompressing. I also may have been a little wound up because of the time difference. Anyways, I just have a few things I wanted to mention before I head off to San Diego to have a weekend full of beer and surfing lessons.

First, if you haven't checked out the new link I added to the right, go to http://shadezofbrown.blogspot.com. It's worth a visit and you will definitely laugh. Brown Guy has always been a wonderful hater.

Second, I wanted to do a little hating of my own. This is directed at people who don't kow how to conduct themselves on an airplane. First there's the guy who clearly hates women and taking orders from a stewardess is the last thing he wants to do. You have all seen him before, he is the one who gets very testy and accuses the nice lady trying to help people out of, "screaming at me," or so he claims. She was honestly talking softer than most people whisper in class and this dude seemed to think she was mad at him. So then he tells the entire area that can hear him how upset he is with the airline and that he had to wait for over and hour at the gate before he could board. I was having a fine morning until this guy showed up and I felt a very sever urge to punch him in the face. Next up on the flight are angry parents and people who refuse to turn off their cell phones. Listen lady, the only thing worse than hearing your kid scream is hearing you scream at him on top of it. Just shut up the both of you. And if this plane 'mysteriously' has a failure with any of it's electronic devices, guy with the cell phone on vibrate, I am coming directly at you and killing you before we hit the ground.

Anyways, that's all for the moment. I'll have some pics and vids to post on here soon. I'll let you all know how surfing goes, but if you don't hear from me for a while, assume the worst. I'm afraid of sharks and whales, I'm not the best swimmer and I'm also pretty sure I'm afraid of the ocean. I'm excited to
