This was too good for me to keep it just myspace.


"CaliFUCKINGfornia!"

I'm so over it.

What I've grown to hate about this state I can't really put into words except for the most obvious, which is the constantly worsening traffic I encounter every morning and afternoon. In fact, what I hate about California is founded in what it lacks more so than what it has to offer me. Lack of cultural diversity. Lack of natural beauty. Lack of personal space. Lack of solid morals and values. Lack of class and authenticity... in its inhabitants, its architecture, and it's couture.

I recently tracked down a handful of my classmates from Parkway Elementary School in Frederick, Maryland, where I lived from the age of five until I moved to California at the age of twelve. I remember all of my friends being so jealous of me moving to Los Angeles, or anywhere near it.

Well fuck that. Because I truly wish I hadn't, and right now, and every single day lately, I can think of a million places I'd rather live. Places that are more beautiful, more intellectually stimulating and culturally diversified. I'm started to feel my Eastern roots tugging at me--gently at first, but more and more every day. I know one day I'll move back to Europe, but for now I just need to get the fuck out of California. Alaska, Canada, ... Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Seattle, Chicago, anywhere... but here.

Los Angeles is one big comatose pile of ineffectual mosquitoes sucking on the rest of the world.
