Tell me about California!

[SAE1955]

Well I'm happy to see a lot of you sticking up for your state. Thats good. What I say is strictly from personal experience, obviously its not gonna be the precedent, but its what I have encountered. I'll try not to be narrow minded about things, I'm sure there are a lot of things in this area that I haven't even experienced. When I talk about the people I speak from personal experience. Everyone missed the comment that I made about the people being narrow minded. I wasn't referring to gays, minorities etc...I was talking about the way everyone thinks in general...about the rest of the country, about other people outside their state. There were a few comments I should have not made but overall it was an opinion about what I have seen and experienced. Everyone has different likes and dislikes...so you do whatever you like which will make you happy

Sunshine, sunrays and sunbeams...

Cali, hands down kicks ass on the weather in the contiguous United States...

I lived in Atlanta for 4 years. And if y'all cain't tell my ethnic group by now, then oh well... But, if you know about the dirty-dirty and how numerous the kinds of men I like live in the ATL--you'd think, "why the hell did I leave to go back to Southern California???"

Let's just say I have a "thing" for Jimmy Z's and Zogg's Sex Wax...

And everybody "blondes" out their hair!!! I'm thinking about doing that, but I have to go to Las Vegas to get it done properly... Besides, California has annexed Nevada's Tahoe, Las Vegas and all of western Arizona (El Centro and Yuma--just want the beach front when the big one hits). Moreover, Baja is California, too!!!

And the one coolest thing out here, you can be friends with anybody and it doesn't matter who you hangout with. Anybody is your friend... And it doesn't matter if you don't know the language, eventually the they teach you. Spanish is the State Language with Chinese coming in 2nd in NoCal... English, is that really a language, dude? And having friends from places is just waaaay cool... Unless you're a groupie wannabe in LA, then, you don't have friends, you have associates or business partners--but never friends.

I am one of the few, the brave, the proud, the Native Californians. I have been throughout, except Eureka--but then, I think I've been there, too when I was very little

Well, I've seen Boulevard, California. And if you know where that is, then you are truly a native!!!

Other "real" natives know about "localmotion" and "billabongs"...

Victorville and Walnut Creek, California. No really, the McDonald's at Barstow...

The Old 395 freeway

Norco, CA

The Aquaduct and Hoover Dam

Cal State Stanislausis(sp.)--No actually, Cal State LA--cuz everybody knows about USC and UCLA... But there's a CSU in LA... Not Long Beach or Dominguez Hills--but LA!!!

Who Harvey Mudd was and St. Mary's and Mills College

TaylorMade.

Great America and Magic Mountain have better rollercoasters.

Disneyland--whatever--but great place to work...

Forget Del Taco, Taquitos are the bomb!!! The really "muy caliente" sauce--or the El Gordo's...

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles...

Taking the Harbor Freeway, rather than 405 to get through LA...

Never get in traffic in the Bay Area, it sucks.

Ghiradelli's, the best chocolate!!!

Get your perscription drugs in Chinatown or Tijuana...

Rosarito and Ensenada

When that hotel was called the Bonaventure...

The CHiP's...

Hybertech, Genetech--all of Silicon Valley...

Rolling blackouts!!!! FUN!!! Hooray!!! I am looking forward to it for summer!!! You guys ready???

HAAAY!!!

Dudes and dudedettes!!! Like, they just bigtime BANNED ALCOHOL on ALL of MISSION/PACIFIC BEACH IN SAN DIEGO!!! Which totally sucks!!! So we have to swim in the Imperial Beach Sewage or did the city council ban alcohol on La Jolla Shores or Windansea?

Besides, Torrey Pines upto Newport Beach have better beaches... Trestles, dude... Yeah, Malibu and Santa Monica is okay, but LA has those off shore oil drills...
