Ah, California.
Man, I grew up in the humid South. Swamps and mosquitos. As soon as I could get my money together, get out of my folks house I was on the road. My girlfriend and I packed up everything we owned and moved here. She was born here, so migrating was as easy as it could be. But it's the classic, "grab your shit and hit the road looking for something new" story... I was 21 and just wanted to get out of the conservative bayou country.
I live in Southern California, The famous porn capitol of the world, San Fernando Valley. Lots of big companies exist locally. The Hustler building is not far, Disney, Jay Leno is around the corner in Burbank - great little spot. Universal City is just up the road. I like it here beause its like living backstage to Hollywood. Theres "make money in XXX videos" fliers on telephone poles here so I dont have the same fear of cops kicking in my door because I work in porn attitude some have. All the prop houses and special effect places are always filming and shooting movies right outside our apartment. Its great. Its exciting, its not quiet, and theres action pretty much 24 hours.
Living close to Hollywood is a definite eye-opener to the reality behind the mass media and entertainment being fed to the world, mainly the United States.
I love the music scene here the most. I cant think of any place else I would rather live, to be honest. Sure it's smoggy, sure the traffic suck - but I dont have to leave the house as often as most people, I dont have to sit in traffic often and I love the weather.
And as long as you Canadians keep posting pictures of the snow, im staying right here in the desert.
