I came to this city 11 years ago and when my roommate said to me, "oh i've been here for 11 years now" I laughed at her thinking HA! that'll never happen to me...cut to today. I've always said that the Los Angeles area is one of the only places I know that has at least 1 example of every surface (excluding the moon of course) within a 2 hour drive. You can go snow skiing in the morning, surfing in the afternoon, and hiking in the mountains by night...beware of mountain lions by the way and bring a flashlight if you're crazy enuf to hike at night :-). Anyhow, you get the point. It's a wonderful place full of many wonders and amazing things but it's also a city that can throw you against the rocks and dash all your hopes and dreams too. Now...that didn't happen to me but I've seen it too many times and it always makes me wonder how a city can have the same effect on so many different people from all walks of life. I'm gonna stop for a second cuz my right wrist is hurting but I will write again tomorrow and continue these thoughts. I leave you with this homework assignment, look up the desiderata, one of my favorite...poems, if you will and let it sink in for a second....
