Figured i’d start posting on here again as to not spew all my hating on Facebook and Twitter. I’ve been back in L.A. 10 months now and i can honestly say im not very happy i made the move yet. For some reason I thought all the things that bothered me about this city in High School when I jumped at the opportunity to go way the hell away to school would somehow be different. Turns out they are all still here, and many of them have become worse than before. However Its proven quite difficult to overlook the opportunity i’ve been given by my family at work, to one day own 3 dealerships, be my own boss, and eventually retire somewhere awesome. So i’ll sum up life so far here in some bullet points.
- Traffic here is terrible. 45-60 minutes daily for a 23 mile commute. Caused entirely by the unintelligent people that inhabit these lands. And gardner truck, they drive soo slow, and there’s soo damn many of them.
- $$ Everything here is expensive, you pay premiums for everything because why? The weather? The Lakers? still trying to figure that one out.
- The People: everyone in LA is soo important you have no idea. People do dangerous things while driving just to pass one more car, nobody is polite AT ALL, yet they have no problem bitching to you, or asking you for discounts on everything. I dont know if this is the write word but i find the people here to be rather hollow. Almost every person i have met here simply wants to know what you do for work and im sure judges you based on that. I’d love to find someone here that can sit down and have a decent conversation about something, anything really. Or maybe someone who sits down and asks “what are you good at” instead of “Where do you work” Either would be fine
- The skiing: im seriously gonna go nuts if more 50% of my days next season are at Big Bear. I dont even count Mt High as a ski hill which is why its not included. Getting a season pass there is like settling for the fat friend. Mammoth supposedly has decent skiing, however Im told if if i wanna ski anything good i have to go to Tahoe, 8 hour drive. I could seriously write an entire post about how many negative steeze points everyone that rides Big Bear gets. No camo cargos, no jeans, no starter jackets and stop tucking your fucking pants into your boots.
- Sports: The Lakers are a bunch of overpaid divas who lack moral character. There i said it, bring it on all you kids reppin LA. The one team i didn enjoy supporting, until recently, was the Dodgers. I dont know why but i always left dodger games happy about where i lived. I think its the only time everyone in LA is actually nice to each other and gets along. But after the recent incident in which an opposing fan was beatn within an inch of his life, i really have no interest in being associated with them. It further proves the point that nobody in LA knows how to behave.
- Work: I fucking love work, except for that chachbag that called me a liar today, he can go fuck himself. Its the only thing here i’ve found worth investing my energy into. I get alot of freedom to try things in marketing and some of my ideas have proved rather successful. Its the only thing thats really kept me going since the move, and even that’s seems like its starting to fade. Im finding it harder and hard to want to take care of these people here when they’ve shown be nothing but negatives.
- I just wish I knew how to ignore all the bullshit and stupidity that goes on in this city and just enjoy living here like everyone else seems to. Am i missing something, or does everyone in LA hate living here but just puts up with it because there’s lucrative jobs to be had?
I’ll keep you posted when i know more
